He was actually a really cool dude... he even attended a rivals funeral across enemy lines and everyone let him. Was definitely a different era as far as respect and honor went.
He was just a soldier fighting for his country
@Expansion of Significance That’s probably what he would say about himself.
Red Baron is for Germany what is Batman for USA
True,so true.

You needed to take down 5 enemy aircrafts to becom an flying ace, which only the best pilots became. Manfred von Richthofen took down 80 aircrafts.

Apparently that number is getting higher every day.

then you haven't heard of erich hartmann one of the biggest legends ever.
@@Odibio.Skins. ...356 kills...
5? That’s it?
The story of the baron not being able to predict the novice's movements reminds me of a quote from David Weber "The world's best swordsman doesn't fear the second best; he fears the worst swordsman, because he cannot predict what the idiot will do."
This is so true in fighting games. People just good enough to know what they're doing, but otherwise terrible are terrifying for the first game or so. They pick terrible options that I never see coming.
I had a military drill instructor that told us something once that has stuck by be. "A soldier that doesn't feel remorse about what he does isn't a soldier, he's a murderer."
world's most sane driller detected, i'd say
What your drill instructor said, is a real and true statement! Trust me!

His younger brother, Lother von Richthofen, was a flying ace as well, with a count of about 40. He died about a year after the end of the war when a transport plane crashed, which he was flying.
Manfred's mother took care of his war trophies by opening up a sort of a museum in the memory of her fallen sons. Those trophies, however, were lost after World War 2 when Soviet armies tool control of their home region.
Oberleutnant Lothar Freiherr von Richthofen downed 40 planes in 80 days of actual service, but was wounded several times.

Where is Snoopy? I didn't see him in the dogfight
Test1 I wondered that myself I when I heard rictoven I thought of that song lol
Nobody knows who killed him.
You should make a video about "Werner Voss" Richthofen closet friend and competitor. The ONLY dogfight documented by 7 ACE British pilots. He knew mechanics and works on his plane engine, that is why he knew better how the plane works and used it to his advantage. In my opinion, Voss was more skillful than Richthofen. He died fighting against those 7 ACE pilots that witness how amazing his flying was. Sadly nobody talk or knows to much about Voss. He crashed on no man's land after one of those bullets from the 7 pilots hit him. He was buried right there on the spot where he crashed and disintegrated, with no honors or ceremony.
I think it was snoopy and is pac woodstock.
Now do one about Erich Hartmann with 352 confirmed kills
he is a fkn legend.
With the easy kills of soviet ofant planes
@@krisshnapeswanipeswani3190 He shot down what was in front of him, and didn't see many other allied aircraft since he flew on the Eastern Front. Though when he did run into other Allied fighters, he did well. He had 7 victories over P-51 Mustangs while flying the inferior BF-109.

I knew one day you guys at infographics show would do red baron, love your guyses military videos. That's actually how I discovered your channel! Keep up the interstellar work guys!
The Red Baron himself is still one of history's Greatest, feared, and also the most respected of flying ace pilots as a both a honored Hero and Villain, even if he was on the wrong side.
it's only "the wrong side" cuz we lost. winners write the history.
besides of that, both brits & french heavy been extremely nationalsocialist on their own back then and america wasn't far off of joining on the german side of the war, because of the sheer masses of german citizens the usa had.
@@Dichtsau Yep.
please in your future comments don't write "the wrong side", war doesn't have a bad or good side, only alliances, and every alliance contributes to war, which in itself is bad.... war has good and bad people, not sides... even the Nazis had good and respectable soldiers...
@@samuraidom6542 That's True about Nazis as MOST....................... but not all of them were completely bad either. There's this one True Story I found out about a young German SS Officer named Leutnant Friedrich Lengfeld (29 September 1921 - 12 November 1944) was a Wehrmacht soldier during World War II. He was company commander of the 2nd Company of the 275th Infantry Division's Fusilier battalion and is well known for sacrificing his life while trying to save a wounded American soldier who had stepped on a landmine. At the Hürtgen Cemetery of Honor, there is a memorial in his honor, which the Veterans Association of the 22nd US Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division had erected on October 7th, 1994 in honor of Lengfeld. This and the memorial in honor of Karl-Heinz Rosch in the Netherlands are the only known memorials for German Wehrmacht soldiers that were erected by the opponents of the time.
At the start: ehm.............. MG 42 was not on planes in WW1 also it didn't existed
THANK YOU! I know a lot about ww1 and its planes. Also, why tf do they show him in a Fokker dr1 when it didn’t even exist yet? They need to do this thing called fact check ffs

Sabaton and Kenny Logan’s working together I like it
When I read the Red Baron in the title, it reminded me of the peanuts movie
Probably because Snoopy likes to pretend he’s the Red Baron in the movies and series, it’s a pretty well known fact because it’s probably mentioned in every episode and movie...
Now you need to do one on Eddie Rickenbacker. not just his career in World War one but it's acting career and his race car career... The guy was a legend in his day
Red Baron: exists
Lewis Gun: I’m bout to end this whole mans career
It's always fascinating to hear a great aces/war heroes story, keeps you wonder that someday stories like that could become its' own legend.
I've been fascinated with Richtofen since I was little. I read a biography about him when I was about 12 or so. One thing about Richtofen was that he wasn't the best pilot and he thought that aerobatics were needless and a waste of energy unless absolutely necessary. To him the airplane was a weapon of war and nothing else, so he often scolded pilots for noodling around in the sky. His brother Lothar, on the other hand, was a gifted pilot highly-skilled at aerobatics.
maybe he said: "Ich bin kaputt"
translated means: "i am broken" but in germany, it means actually, "I am tired"
who knows.
greetings from germany 🇩🇪
And which other 'famous' pilot followed him to lead his fighter squadron called 'The flying circus'? Yep, it was a certain Mister Hermann Göring.
Oh! The head of Luftwaffe?
@@samsunguser3148 Later in the 2nd world war Göring was the leader of the Luftwaffe. But not in the 1st WW.

i like how people show the Red Baron in a triplane, yet he only flew a triplane for 8 months. the first 3 years the Red Baron flew a biplane.
I guess it's just more iconic
Kaput is a German word? I've been using it all my life to describe every car I owned...
It means broken...😂

Good video, Cool to watch this after just watching the news of "The Ghost of Kyiv" THUMBS UP
And he's flying HIGHER KING OF THE SKY
The Red Baron was such the ultimate badass that Chick Norris blushes whenever people talk about him.
I always like hearing about the red barron because i liked hearing about how much respect these soldiers had even for the fighters of the opposing side.
Higher king of the sky he's flying to fast and he's flying to high higher eye for an eye legend will never die
He will be the most feared player in BF1
Karlsupmite when i use the fighter plane, I always use the Red Baron skin

Now I have that Christmas song from that Charlie Brown movie stuck in my head
Liking the video just because he pronounced the Red Baron name so fluently
Snoopys favorite hero.. The "Red Baron"
When He shot down ,he was buried by his enemies and writed on his grave "To Our Gallant And Worthy Foe"
Imagine in World war 3, there would be referees, and rules like sport games.
They should have referees so less warcrimes

Can everyone just appreciate how the narrator can pronounce German words so well?
He can't

Finally something on ww1 please do more on ww1
What actually killed him was his own disobedience.
As you said he was a perfectionist and wasn't a risky daring flyer which is what most dead pilots were. It was the calculative and thinking pilots that became aces as they chose not to engage most of the time.
But here he broke his own rule and flew too close to the ground and focused on a single target. It's most likely a gunner from the ground that took him down.
High above the blooden mud of the battle field
There's another war going in the air between the dare devil of the sky know as the ace's
Among them one man and his plane stand out.

Did you make this video after you heard the sabaton's the red baron song?
It could have also been a machine-gunner on the ground, as the baron had his own doctrine of not fighting at low altitude because of the dangers of flying low. They still aren’t sure because there were bullet holes in various parts of the plane, including ones indicating someone shooting from below, and they can’t tell exactly which one actually did him in.
ok hold on an mg42 a gun which wasn't even being developed untill 1939. on the plane of the red barron during ww1? I don't see anything wrong with that lol. Do you?

Honey Badger treaty of Versailles included battle elephants and the aliens present made them extinct
@@RemyKingKen Oh of course... So.. What about those Ratte? It saw fights in Africa.. El Alamein for sure.. And those Maus tanks? They were pretty much the front line.. After them the E line tanks ( E-50, E-75..) replaced them... And Löwe replaced the Königstiger.
@give me my pen back I guess they went full BFV and put a FG42 and Tiger in year 1941...
Now I thought back in 1917 no one wore light colored clothes?

The red baron was actually killed by an australian machine gunner.
Did you even watch the video all the way to the end?
Yes
It's true
@FFR My point was that he tried to "well akshully" the video by saying it was an Australian Gunner that killed the Baron, but they mention it at the end of the video.
Is this proven true?
I mean... There's still so many shootout happening at that time and I don't think that he's the only one that killed him, right?
I actually learnt and read about of stuff lately, my dad knows a bunch about it but there’s actually a theory/legend that the Red Baron was actually killed by an Australian pilot.
It’s amazing how opposing sides would respect a marvelous flyer.

According to this video the German Empire did not control Alsace-Lorraine in WW1? BS, they lost it after the war.
They lost it mid war
MrSqueakerBro They lost it fully when they signed the treaty of Versailles. Before that, it‘s all occupation. That‘s why when the French occupied the Ruhr after the war it didn‘t go to France.
