Did any leaders of the Third Reich...
Hello,
Did any leaders of the Third Reich ever mention Manfred von Richthofen in papers, speeches, or diaries, etc? Was he ever mentioned or wrote about in the Third Reich?

Hello!
Of course he was mentioned and remembered. I am sure some forum members will bring more examples.
The example I can bring is the training manuals of the luftwaffe where several award bearers of theLuftwaffe from WWI are mentioned and honoured. Richthofen, Boelcke and Immelmann with photos on one page.
And as you maybe know there was a Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen".

Actually I had known that, but neglected to think of it whilst I was posting. Must be alzihemers (sp?) kicking in. I also believe there was an Immelmann squadron as well.
Re: Did any leaders of the Third Reich...
On 16th November 1915, Göring became the leader of his JG 1 squadron after the death of von Richthofen. It would be interesting to know more of his take on von Richtofen.AddyYarbrough wrote:Hello,

Actually, April 21st, 1918.
I swear, look into it.
April 15th - 20th is just amazingly ripe with historical occasions.
Red Baron's Death
Hitlers birthday
Oklahoma bombing
Tax Deadline
Columbine
United States entry into world war one (I think, i could be wrong)
and the list goes on.

For those interested who don't already know, an "Immelmann" turn is a half-loop, with a half-roll back to level flight at the top, resulting in the aircraft flying in the opposite direction, with gained altitude (but decreased airspeed).
It's the opposite of a "split -S" which is a half-roll (to inverted) and pulling through a half-loop to level flight in the opposite direction with lost altitude but increased airspeed.
