What If: Who Really Killed The Red Baron?
Even though popular culture will tell you it happened, this dog did not kill the Red Baron.
Frieherr Manfred von Richthofen (also known as The Red Baron) was Germany's number one flying ace of all time. In World War One, between April, 1916- April, 1918, the Red Baron was credited with shooting down 80 Allied planes. The number was actually higher, but with the rules of air warfare, at the time, a plane had to be shot down over occupied territory to count as a kill. In those twenty-four months, the Red Baron was at the top of his game. It all ended on April 22, 1918, when he was killed by a .303 caliber bullet while flying over enemy territory. Who really killed him? The controversy continues to this day.
