The Red Baron
This way!
-There!
-Where?
next to the farther beach tree!
Get Down, Down.
THE RED BARON:
Northern France, Allied territory 1916,
German airfield near the front, France,
Are you out of your bloody mind?
Yes Sir
You risk the squadron planes to
attend an enemy funeral?
Yes sir!
Lehmann and Sternberg knew him sir,
the coffin I mean sir
Yes, i mean Sir..
My uncle, the Duke of Westchester
is mother's brother-in-law
Lehmann and me went to college with him.
At Eton, Sir.
You are talking about a British pilot,
god damn it.
One of the best the RFC had.
It's a pity that he's not alive anymore, Sir.
To hell with you.
Dismissed!
I've heard your plane cought some bullets
while you were visiting the funeral, Richthofen.
Ah, I just love these tiny chatty Airfields, Kielmeyer.
Does anybody want a cigarette?
- You have French ones?
-De rien.
-Merci.
Richthofen shot down a two-seater today.
I guess it was meant as compensation
for disobeying my orders?
No.
I just wanted to score.
I have just received a report that a British RE8
went down 12 km from here.
You have my deepest respect, Baron.
Let us go and find it to confirm your kill.
Come on lend a hand!
One
two
I said be careful!
That doesn't look good.
Put him there...
Hurry up, he is heavy.
He is losing much blood.
Lend a hand.
Hold that.
You will make it.
We must carry him to the car.
Immediately.
Take him!
Thank you.
You have saved his life.
No.
I shot him down.
You got him, Sternberg.
...rubbish. The DH2 one-seater should be
attacked from above...
See Sterni, if the attacker has a rotary engine then....
What is a rotary engine?
Oh Lieutenant Sternberg...
Hey, come back.
Well, Voss.
Obviously she prefers men like me. Right?
Men like you?
Moses, Freud...
- Perhaps we also should get circumcised?
Hey where are you going?
What do you think Manfred,
she looks like your little nurse huh?
...I mean:
DAT ASS.I'm sorry Sir.
What are you doing here?
Come, drink with us.
wanted to drink a cocktail.
Sit, drink and relax...
I'm married you know...
Me too.
I mean, almost.
...we need a bit of water.
The driver says the engine is overheated.
Lieutenant.
-My name is von Richthofen.
I'm glad to see you again, Mademoiselle.
I know your name.
-Oh really?
The pilot that you shot down told me your name.
So he survived?
Are you just asking or
The former.
At least you are honest.
That's a good start isn't it?
Can't I just ask without being interested?
So, what's your name?
His name is Captain Roy Brown.
And he's still alive regardless of other things.
He told me that you were a brilliant pilot
and a cheeky rogue.
I understand.
Tell him that I am flattered by his compliments.
And that I hope that we will
never meet in the sky again.
And perhaps I won't have
the same luck as him.
And meet such a gorgeous nurse.
Unbelievable. Have a nice evening.
Have you seen my scarf?
I'll send it to you.
No no, you can keep it.
It's a lucky charm.
The French have sent their condolences
together with the confirmation of the kill.
The mass for Kielmeyer will be today at 4pm
The enemy pilot who lead the attack four days ago
it was Hawker.
What?
Major Lanoe Hawker?
Yes, exactly.
I saw his face. He had a beard.
And the Grim Reaper painted on his plane.
It's their best man.
He's a nasty fellow.
He already shot down 9 of our men.
When they were still flying unarmed recon missions
he already mounted a gun on his plane.
He came pretty near.
Then why didn't you attack him?
I only attack if I can win.
How important is the Pour le Merite for you?
I would kill for it.
I just got a telegram from the Army High Command
they want to give it to you by all means.
So what are they waiting for?
You know the regulations.
And not even the Kaiser would ignore the regulations
so you better do what they want
and shoot down a balloon.
I hunt planes.
And not things that cannot move.
You are not a hunter lieutenant.
You are a soldier. And you have to obey orders.
Especially if the orders were issued
by General von Hppler himself.
What if I shoot down Hawker?
Avoid Hawker.
You are not a match for him.
Let me through.
Anybody have a wrench?
I can't believe it.
Now you've finally made it.
You shot down a legend.
Now you are one too.
Go ahead and eat, my mother made them.
Mhh, delicious.
Lieutenant Oswald Boelcke.
They are desperately searching for somebody
who steps in his footprints.
His answer was:
"It's simple...
...I fly as near as possible to the enemy...
...pull the trigger...
...and of course he will come down."
Sterni and me are going to Arras, drink a bit...
Come with us.
Perhaps we meet your nurse again?
You have to get her already
or she will stay in your head forever.
The earlier you lose your traction the better...
Werner?
I will become a legend myself.
I will be the Ace of Aces.
High Army Command, Western Front, Lille, France
January 1917
Stop!
There you go.
I'm starving.
Me too.
Prussians never complain, gentlemen.
Let's go.
Bring back some breakfast.
At ease, gentlemen.
L'ordre Pour Le Merite...
Let's see...
