Also, check the Archives section, seems to be other nice stuff there too.

Thanks for that. I'd be quite interested in his cousin too, Wolfram I think his name is. A big figure for the Condor Legion. Quite a family. :yeah:

WvR was bit of an dick wasn't he? :hmmm:

EDIT:


Richthofen, a cousin of the famous Red baron air ace, was a hard, arrogant
man, disliked by German and Spanish officers alike. He was to become
infamous as the destroyer of many towns and cities: Durango and Guernica in
Spain, then Rotterdam, Belgrade, Canea and Heraklion in Crete, followed by
many cities in the Soviet Union, most notably of all, Stalingrad, where 40,000
civilians were killed.

Yes, Guernica and all that I think was his fault, but I think his memoires would be a great read.
