At least there was still a spark of decency and respect. The flier on one side shot down the ace of the other side and it was shot down again by another. A chain that never ended and there were only losers .... the Manfred v. Richthofen, Lenoe Hawker, Kurt Wolff, Georges Guynemer, James McCudden, Werner Voss, Michel Coiffard, Edward Mannock, Albert Ball, .... and the other innumerable and unknown victims of the battlefields ..
It was an Australian Sargeant, armed with a Vickers machine gun, in a trench position, who took care of the Baron. And Australians buried him. One bullet went in to his abdomen, and came out under his left armpit. He was dead almost instantly.
The credit for downing the Red Baron is credited to Captain Roy Brown of the RFC, although it is likely that the Australian machine-gunners had an equal share.
@@prasadiyer3271 It has been proven (and was known at the time) that the Red Baron was shot down by Australian ground fire. The autopsy showed an entrance wound above his right hip, and the bullet travelled up and to the left. So the bullet came from below. But Brown was behind and above. However, it just wasn't "romantic" for the Red Baron to shot down by ground fire, so the story about Brown was fabricated.
Indeed excellent work. And truly awsome that records from 100 years ago still exists on tape. I just saw "Red Baron" movie and was touched. Searched for it on youtube and here i am. Thanks for the video ;-)
Impressionante o respeito por um ser humano de valor, ainda que inimigo! Lembrei-me de Montgomery ter em sua sala de trabalho um retrato de Rommel... Uma época de honra. Uma época em que homens admiravam-se pelo valor que tinham.
El enemigo es el político que pierde todo honor al no poder solucionar conflictos limítrofes o de otra situación con los países limítrofes o en la política interna de su país donde ocurren guerras civiles . Los hombre de Armas no tenemos enemigos asta que la política los define al otro soldado del país limítrofe como agresivo y enemigo de tu país .
My mother's father , died 1982, was a carpenter in the AFC at Point Cook. I was told it was one of his jobs to take the propellers from aircraft and work on them until they were in trim.
If anyone wants to see relics of Richthofen's DR1 , the Royal Canadian Military Institute in Toronto has the seat and one of the fuselages black cross on permanent display...Roy Brown was given the souvenirs after he was originally credited with shooting him down and his family donated them to the Institute after he died....I saw them about 30 or 40 years ago... I believe they can still be seen by the public if a viewing appointment is made
It stated at the start he was buried by the British. Very, very wrong. Australians killed him, and Australians buried him. Just look at the slouch hats, being worn by the troops, only Australians wear them, to this day.
A man of war sportsmanship and honor a man to idolize and respect rest in peace richthofen the ace among aces no matter how much time goes by you'll always be the best of the best
It wasn't the British who buried Manfred von Richthofen, it was No 3 Squadron Australian Flying Corp. My Grandfather was a pilot with them, and one of the pallbearers. In fact the Brits were asked to wait outside the cemetary whilst the service was conducted.
With full military honours because he was respect by the Aussies. I wish the mighty men of that generation were alive today to put down all this bullshit.
At the time all fighter planes came under the Air Branch of the British Army. It became the Royal Air Force in 1918, hence the reason for the Army presence at the funeral. The occupying Germans in Jersey during the last war gave a full military funeral to two British airmen who were shot down so this tradition was continued by both sides.
@@gazzgarage5412 Yeah this is the Australian Flying Corps who buried him, nothing to do with the British. This also shows that he was shot down by the Australian machine gunner, all this crap that has come out over the years about the Red Baron being shot down by Roy Brown. Do you really think that they would have given the right to bury the Red Baron at the time to the Australian's if he was shot down by a Canadian or the British? It was proved at the time he was shot down by ground fire! But that's been lost over time for some reason??? A British Doctor proved that in 1918 but for some reason historians today keep wanting to believe that he was shot down by Roy Brown? Do your research people, all the people that were there say that there was no plane behind him before he crashed and he was fully in control of his plane??? Hey wait a minute ok, he was the Red Baron ok it all starts to make sense now every body wants to claim him. Then why are all the soldiers in this clip AUSTRALIAN??? Wake Up! Do you really think that the British would have let the AUSTRALIAN'S bury the Red Baron if they didn't shoot him down, hah ha! Like Hell! Look at the colour patches on their sleeves, a triangle with light blue on both corners with a dark blue stripe down the middle with a thin red line down each side of the dark blue,.... means AFC (Australian Flying Corps)! Do your research.
It's heart warming that even in the darkest times of war, there's something like respect to each other.... nowadays it's just barbaric... but anyways, war is never a good thing
An old Australian stayed at our house for a few nights . One evening he told a war story about seeing Von Richtofen being shot down and going to his funeral . The next evening my mother gave him a whiskey and got him to tell the story again and she recorded him on a cassette tape . Years later a woman from RTE Irish radio copied the tape after she made a program about the Red Baron . th-cam.com/video/0UPPjDgM4VU/w-d-xo.html
He had broken his own rules of engagement by flying low over enemy lines so possibly his head injury impaired his judgment. He was respected so much that though the Australian unit wanted to stop him they would have preferred capture. The joystick and compass from his plane and his flying boots are on display at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
È veramente incredibile che nella stessa guerra ci fossero comportamenti tanto antitetici: la crudeltà della trincea paragonata a gesti che come questo risalgono alle guerre dei secoli scorsi in cui il nemico oltre che combattuto era anche rispettato ed onorato. R.I.P.
They feared him in life, and they honored and respected him in death. Great and noble warriors are respected by men of arms, no matter what side they are on.

Lutou e morreu pela causa, pela honra, sem se entregar, teve um enterro digno, e sempre será lembrado, pelos seus feitos, e por sua coragem. Ele era mais que um soldado que lutou e morreu por sua pátria, ele era o soldado alemão, o maior e verdadeiro Fuhrer, que seja sempre respeitado, idolatrado e amado Barão vermelho, não só pelos alemães, mas tbm pelos seus inimigos, inimigos esses que o senhor sempre tratou com respeito no campo de batalha. O Barão vermelho nunca morreu, pois se ele deu a vida pela Alemanha, Alemanha essa que é eterna, por ela ele foi eternizado e eu espero que a história nunca se esqueça do nome de Manfred Albert Von Richthofen.
Where would you want the business end of a loaded rifle to be pointed in such close quarters. I am sure this was derived from someone being shot in the past. I doubt if blank rounds were available in a war zone at that time.
The rifle drill position at 2:00 is “rest on arms reverse “ and the position is used for funerals and solemn occasions. It is still used today in the ADF albeit with different rifles and alterations. The method of carrying the rifles to the funeral is the same thing; “Reverse Arms” and is a sign of respect.
@Yulia Klaus von wurtemberg YOU MUST BE JOKING?!! WORLD WAR ONE WAS THE MOST BRUTAL WAR THE WORLD HAD WITNESSED UP TO THAT POINT IN TIME IN WHICH MAD MEN (ie kaiser wilhelm II, nicholas romanoff, david lloyd george, george clemenceau and DOZENS OF OTHERS ) LED EUROPE INTO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSES IN WHICH 15,000,000+ PEOPLE WERE BUTCHERED BY WAR! THE BARBARITY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAS HORRIFIC AND WOULD ONLY BE ECLIPSED BY A SECOND WORLD WAR IN WHICH ANOTHER MADMAN DREAMED OF A UTOPIAN WORLD RULED BY THE BARBARITY OF NAZISM! PHLUYCK YOU!
Such a bizarre way to hold you rifles. Your literally pointing it at the person behind you! 😳 I just cannot imagine some one thought that was safe and logical.
The death of M. von Richthofens has not yet been fully clarified, but the most plausible cause is: On the morning of April 21, 1918 Brown's 209th squadron met Manfred von Richthofen's Jagdstaffel 11. When the young lieutenant Wilfrid May left the action, von Richthofen chased him. Brown saw that May was in trouble, supported himself behind the red triplane, and fired several bursts of fire from a great distance that probably went wrong. He was shot at by three Australian machine guns during from three Australian machine guns. Fatally wounded in the chest by a bullet, he was able to land his machine (the Fokker Dr I 425/17) almost unscathed in front of the Australian position before bleeding to death internally.
Actually, it was clarified at the time. An autopsy was done at the time and found an entrance wound above his right hip, and that the bullet travelled up and to the left. So, they knew he was shot down by Australian ground fire. But, that did not make a good story. So, Roy Brown (who was behind and above the Red Baron) was given credit.
This somehow made me cry. Not because I like war even though I am german. But it's so soothing to see humanity and respect in times of war while we are nowadays at the point where you'd have live footage of civilians being killed or enemy soldiers being tortured or murdered. Back then the Australian forces even had the dignity to put down a wreath saying "to our gallant and worthy foe". Feels like 1918 is on a superior human level compared to 2023

He was probably under the influence of some type of narcotics the impaired his judgment.

What a great thing to honour your enemy a funeral with full military honours.

lol, the good old days of the 500.000 dead of Verdun and the 500.000 maimed for life? There REALLY are no good old days in War.
Yes,, the Aussies did that for the Japanese Sub Mariners that came into Sydney Harbour during WW2.. Referred them as extremely brave men.
The end of chivalry?
Perhaps.
The end of respect? No, not quite.
These men understand honor and valor, and that their enemy gave his last full measure.

It is not the British burying the Red Baron but the Australian Flying Corps.
He was shot down by Aussie Cedric Popkins, his feeder saw the Red Baron slump during a burst of his Vickers machine gun

Just wondering if there was any German officers officially invited to the funeral as well. Or was his body handed over to the Germans at any stage
Unfortunately, the poor guy was buried 4 times by the end of it all. He’s finally at his families estate.

Nice piece of speed restitution. What did you use t/c variation or a digital technique?
How different this war was from the next
It was the dawn of mechanized warfare and chivalry still existed
His machine gun in battle against Brown jammed and killed while surrendering
Wasn’t Bertangles Monash’s billet/headquarters
Next time, we fight side-by-side.
