Even though I am British and I had relatives fighting in WW2 in the British Armed Forces, also there may be some fighting in WW1 the Red Baron Manfred von Richthoffen is a legend. He was one of the best fighter Pilots that ever lived. I have huge respect for him and admiration as well. British Sabaton Fan 💂‍♂️ 💂‍♂️ 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@emiliajojo5703]

Sabaton is amazingly accurate, with all they do.I was truly surprised.

[@Medley3000]

You can read his book on your own. "The Red Fighter Pilot: The Autobiography of the Red Baron" a book by Manfred v. Richthofen

[@CoCooMa11]

At his time, he was the best pilot that existed. I do like how at that time, people was treated with respect no matter the side they were on, Soldiers can´t control where they are born, and being the best in something deserves to be aknoledged by everyone. And the Red Baron deffinatly was ww1´s best pilot, hands down. I had to add abit here... One of the tacticts he used (that was new during ww1) was climing above other planes to dive down and shoot.... I think atleast.... I can´t be 100% sure he was the absolut first... but he did use that tactic alot and was famous for it... he also took down 80 allies, so it seem´s to have worked quite well :P

[@jonasjohnsson2130]

Thank you. Sabaton history tells the historical facts deeper.

[@TheMMADad]

Absolutely love their storytelling through music and Yarnhub through their animation. Perfect match 👊🙏

[@furiouspanda7612]

From what i remember about the Red Baron he had one or two very close encounters with death before his final demise and in one of them he sustained an injury to the head either from a bullet that grazed him (what a luck if true) or during an emergency crash landing when he hit his head or both honestly. Sustaining these injuries during wartime can mess with your thoughts and mental.

[@zodiachimera7557]

That's about right. During a fight something(either debris or a bullet) struck his head and temporarily blinded him. His squad mates protected him while he waited for his sight to return. Another time he was shot down but managed to land in a manner similar to in the music video. The head injury is often attributed as causing his change in demeanor, but I also think part of it was that while recovering he was exposed to the horrors and tragedies of the front lines, something which pilots were literally detached from thanks to their battlefield being so far above.

[@darthrevan2118]

It was the same bullet that hit or grazed his head

[@Make573]

13:59 I personally think what happened to The Baron here, was a combo of brain injury, brain malfuctioning/ development disorders due to lack of oxygen (lets remember that human brain do develop all the way until 25), stress and many, many other factors. Human body, specially the human brains, is truly something...

[@darthrevan2118]

In Germany the 2nd Jagdgeschwarder is also called Geschwarder Richthofen

[@elchjol2777]

One thing they left out is that Sopwith Cammel had attacked the Red Baron's cousin who happened to be on his first combat mission. He had told his cousin to stay at high altitude to observe the fight only for a rookie British pilot with the same orders spotted and engaged the Baron's cousin. This may have sent him into a rage or otherwise got target fixation. He was also two days from being sent back home when he died.

[@pavelslama5543]

Richthofen, although more famous as a pilot, was probably the king of commanders of fighter squadrons. He trained his pilots, looked after them and protected them until they were experienced enough to fully join the fight. He improved the first fighter tactics and his version was the one used until the guided air-to-air missiles took over the classical dogfighting in the 1960s. He was also a friend and a rival of another guy, who can probably be described as a king of pilots and master of dogfighting and aerial acrobatics - Werner Wos, who was at the time of his death the second highest scoring pilot alive (after Richthofen) and was slowly catching up to him. ... Also, these planes literally had NO armor. The only part of the plane solid enough to maybe catch some shells was the engine block, and no one really wanted to use it as a shield, considering how easy it was to set it on fire, and practically no one had a parachute to get out of a burning plane.

[@walterschluterjun5594]

Part of his tactics was to climb high and attack the enemy out of the sun, so he could not be seen. The triplane allowed him to climb faster than his enemies could. Hence the alligation to the speed, I assume.

[@fenrisulfur842]

The Red Baron is so well known, even Snoopy had a Dog Fight! durin the Vietnam War, it was very common for F-4 and F-111 Crews to have custom Squad Patches with the Red Baron....Today, a Fighter Squadron of the german Airforce is namen Richtofen

[@Windy_City_podcast]

Can you do a video of how to do hand to hand combat

[@TheMMADad]

I am actually looking to start doing some Martial Arts/ Self Defense videos in the very near future. Especially since KZbin is cracking down so hard on reactions

[@generalsaufenberg4931]

You know, you did something right, when your enemy gives you a state funeral with all military honors..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4i7dGSVe8epsJo “- Achilles: You're still my enemy in the morning!!!" - Priam: You're still my enemy tonight. But even enemies can show respect.”

[@darthrevan2118]

Richthofen is still immortal in Germany today. Many people know the World War I hero

[@2104dogface]

His very 1st flight he crashed , you should deff take some time and do the Sabaton History on him. the abuse that WW1 pilots bodies took it's a wonder any of them made it out of the war alive.

[@comradeglaz42]

So far you’re the only reaction I’ve seen that noticed his rival enemy attended the funeral. Have a like :)
