Richthofen died because he violated several of his own rules of combat he taught his pilots: he lost track of his position relative to the front lines, he flew too low where ground fire was a risk, he stayed concentrated on one enemy target too long, he became fixated on that target and ignored the danger from other enemy planes.
@@DGARedRaven It is certainly true that his personality changed after he was wounded. There is some evidence the German High Command wanted him to stop flying, afraid of the effect on moral if he was killed, but he felt ti was his duty to stay in the air.
My great great grandfather part of the Australian imperial force that mounted one of the possible AA guns that got him laid him to rest He wrote in his diary that he was proud to lay such a valiant foe to rest and may he always live on in legend
It should be noted that the Imperial German confirmation system was almost as stringent as the US sniper kill confirmation in Vietnam. 80 was the _confirmed_ tally of this ace of aces... In addition, the Germans in this conflict were surprisingly honorable. Quintin Roosevelt (son of Theodore (don't call him Teddy, that's his first wife's (Alice) pet name for him) Roosevelt) flew in the war and was shot down and was given a _prince's_ burial.
@@_Darkfish_ A lot of people assume that the Germans were always evil when they were not. Hell, they were the nation that solidified what we know as the Laws of War.
This was awesome they should also learn the history behind the songs and also there's a theory that suggests that the red baron intentionally went behind enemy lines and gave chase because he wanted to kill himself
I think Richthofen was suffering from depression, possibly PTSD. He had been shot down and wounded several times at this point. If you read some of the letters he wrote at that time, he felt death was inevitable if he continued to fly but he also refused the demands of German High Command that he step down because he felt that would be a betrayal of his pilots. I do think it is a stretch to translate that into a desire to kill himself. And a reaction to the Sabaton history channel might be appropriate.
Even in war you respect eachother. Except for the Japan Empire, they were horrid, snakes. They literally used allies as knife practice and literally ate 'em, too.
... that ignores history. Before the late 1920s and early 1930s, Japan was ruled by the faction known colloquially as 'The Old Men' (basically, to give you an idea, these guys were the guys that fought to unify Japan under the banner of the Emperor and wanted Japan to become the Venice of the East) and were surprisingly _against_ atrocities in general. The problem was a faction colloquially known as the 'Imperialists' (basically the guys who wanted to emulate the British and French Empires, atrocities and all) won the power struggles during the late 1920s/early 1930s by literally murdering anyone who stood in their way.

May his legend live on
@@_Darkfish_ He was the King of the Skies
It is said that that's because of severe head injuries sustained before then. True or not, we may never know; but it is at least plausible.

Back when Air Combat was seen as noble.
The best thing about the Red Baron? When he died, his enemies buried him with full military honour. May his legend live on!

I'm glad they showed him flying the Albatross aircraft he used before he and his unit were issued the Fokker Dr.1 Driedecker.

Provided they had no other source of food due to the American silent fleet
@@WE_DONT_LIE true. And they were only given a bag of rice as food by the higher-ups and a manaul on the edible parts of human.

Thx
@@_Darkfish_do you accept video requests
@emperorofmankind756 yes I do feel free to request and I will try to make it
@@_Darkfish_ Also do you have enough space to create 10 new characters from a anime or a cartoon
@emperorofmankind756 I sure I guess but that would just drive me crazy
Just a thought what if they react to vlad the impilare
OK I will try idk I can though might forget
What should I improve?
Great video
@@vostroyanfirstborn816 thx
Maybe more expressions they seem kinda stiff still a great video maybe you can do no bullets fly
@@evolvingdragon1793 OK though might just lose all sanity making the video but ok
