The Death Of The Red Baron - Manfred Von Richthofen

One of the most feared fighter pilots in History was Manfred von Richthofen who became known as the Red Baron. He had it's believed 80 confirmed victories in the air, and he was a skilled pilot who led what became known as 'The Flying Circus.' During the First World War, the Red Baron caused chaos with his aircraft and led to heavy losses, but he would fly one final journey in which he was shot down.
Previously the Red Baron had been recovering from an injury, and despite doctors telling him not to continue flying he defied the doctors orders. But whilst involved in a chase with a Sopwith Camel, the Red Baron was struck with anti-aircraft fire and he then crashed into the ground. He had been killed as soon as he was hit by the bullet. He was given a remarkable funeral however by the men who captured his aircraft.

Everyone knows that Snoopy shot down the Red Baron while the baron was laughing at his challenge to a real dogfight. At least that’s what the song says.

[@davidhorn6008]

What You say is definitely correct! It is not well known but that day, in His haste to try and shoot down 'The Red Baron', Snoopy took off without having finished His Pedigree Chum and still He was successful. I own His Great, (11 times) Grandson - He is for hire as a sire!, cheap.

Thank you so much for this information.

Why? A lot of it is wrong

[@billlexington5788]

I forgot the name of the show but years ago there was a show that would investigate battlefield deaths like this. Using eyewitness accounts, the trajectory/position of his wound, replica ww1 fighters, and lasers, they proved the only one who could’ve killed him was an Australian machine gunner on the ground, named Snowy Evans.

The Red Baron was portrayed wonderfully by Ade Edmundson in Blackadder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o526maatjJeZe6M

Great video! Even a hundred years later the Red Baron is a legendary icon.

This was a great topic!

Another time when foes respected each other.

Awe it's sweet that you believe that

[@bertcert991]

He was a cold blooded killer he had to be I think chivalry died out by 1915

[@wondereagle]

Hermann Goring took over his squad after his death….

[@brianwilcox3478]

Actually Wilhelm Reinhard took over after the Rittmeister Died. Goring was the 3rd and last commander of JG-1 after Reinhards death.

[@nickc6882]

@@brianwilcox3478Goring’s involvement was key to The Red Baron’s reburial in Berlin in the 1930’s. I didn’t know there was an intermediary between Richthofen and Goring’s command. Thank you.

yea I'll support your channel, if you start actually doing some research before posting videos 1) They we're not known as the flying circus because of their colourful aircraft. 2) the only debate around his death is from those who refuse to accept the evidence 3) categorised by trench warfare? are you sure that's the correct word? 4) he was considered a very talented pilot. was he? His flying instructors rated his as mediocre. 5) he was hit by a fatal wound? a fatal wound actually hit him? PMSL 6) when talking about his being shot down in 1917 you show his triplane and when talking about being shot down in 1918 you show the aircraft he was shot down in on 1917. who edited this shit? 7) they noticed he was dead huh? then how did he say his last word that is recorded on the bean papers? 8) many cuts on his face? yea, let's ignore the broken jaw lol
