Hello Manfred von Richthofen HU. On page 196-197 of Suzanne Hayes Fischer's book, Mother of Eagles The War Diary of Baroness von Richthofen, in footnote #30 is the following information on Manfred's height, ".....Manfred's cadet record should end any speculation as to his height or lack thereof; it shows that when he was age 18, he was 5 foot, 7 and 1/2 inches tall and weighed 147.7 pounds". This book is available from Schiffer Publishing. As to Lothar, I don't have any information. Best regards, Dave.

Many stories exist about what happened to MvR's medals, uniforms and other personal items. You can probably consider them all as "lost." Whatever still exists is in unknown collections.

MvR's medals
Hi friend,
see my thread
http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/pe...z-l-bbert.html
to see what probably happened to MvR's Iron Cross (we'll never be 100% sure if it wasn't just a replica he have to Fritz, but I think it is a congenial episode anyway)

There is conjecture as to what awards Richthofen was wearing when shot down, if any. Of course, the family 'museum' in Schweidnitz was looted by Soviet forces in 1945, so speculation is rife that his awards and other personal effects are in Russia. I personally believe that with the collapse of the USSR these items would have appeared on the market by now. According to agreements signed by the governments of Germany and Russia, any such items would have to be returned to Germany as 'spoils of war'. The Russians, however, have not made good on this agreement, as evidenced by the saga of the Schliemann Troy gold.
