This movie's inaccuracy is appalling.

...but I kinda like it 
It's interesting seeing a movie shot entirely from the German perspective. There are only two other movies I know of that do this: The Blue Max and Das Boot.
And plus, it's purty. |
THE POSTER is the guilty pleasure: It appears to be Sopwith tripe (even wings) in flames behind the red Albatross in the poster as a Sopwith Camel (dihedral wings) above and to his right is blazing away from his (6 o'clock)direction. Further back is a Fokker DR-1. I think if there were DR-1 the Baron would be the one flying it, as Tony Fokker and Von Richthofen collaborated on its development...but it could be Werner Voss... or Lothar
Later in WWII, there is an actual photo of cousin, Wolfram von Richthofen, with Jewish Luftwaffe Field Marshall Milch... so maybe it's possible with the imaginary friend. It's called poetic license. Good to find all of the usual suspects of
on one thread. Makes for perfect Saurday night!
and Platybby, I got lots 'o cat litter! MODERATOR!!!
