The Red Baron Page #4

Synopsis: Baron Manfred von Richthofen is the most feared and celebrated pilot of the German air force in World War I. To him and his companions, air combats are events of sporty nature, technical challenge and honorable acting, ignoring the terrible extent of war. But after falling in love with the nurse Käte, Manfred realizes he is only used for propaganda means. Caught between his disgust for the war, and the responsibility for his fighter wing, von Richthofen sets out to fly again.

Are you planning to take a nap up there?

I never fly without this cap.

It's my lucky charm.

I also have one.

My mother keeps ordering new jackets.

But I never pick them up.

See you later.

Six weeks later.

The general!

General von Hppner!

Look in this direction. Don't move.

Thank you.

You are quickly getting famous, Captain.

You are in the headlines.

The Kaiser himself has mentioned your name

after he heard about your 29th victory.

So...

I brought you a little surprise present...

aren't you becoming short of medals already?

Well, it's not really a medal.

Lieutenant...

It wasn't my idea.

After all it is good propaganda.

"The Richthofen Bros are flying together."

Welcome.

Your brother is a decent fellow.

He has all the right stuff that our Fatherland

needs at the moment.

One question...

the people keep inventing strange names for you...

"Le Diable Rouge"

Or "The Red Baron"

How come?

I see.

Impressive

Really impressive.

The sun always behind you...

Keep the wind direction in mind...

And don't forget:

The most important virtue of a good pilot is

to know when to retreat.

What. Is that supposed to be a joke?

Just do as we say, Lothar.

Avoid the battle?

That's right.

-If you can't win you turn back.

-Immediately!

Intelligence and cowardice are very close.

It's true.

Listen to him!

Good morning, gentlemen.

It's a good idea.

I heard that the stupid French believe

the colour to be bullet proof.

I wouldn't take this with you.

It might be in your way up there.

Looks much better now.

The riding crop stays here, bro.

-That was pretty damn close.

-That was fun, wasn't it?

Let's have dinner together tonight.

-Werner feels ronery huh?

-Yes.

Have you transferred him here?

Who?

Your brother Lothar.

Have you seen him? Where is he anyway?

He was behind me.

You should keep an eye on him.

He has got a very unhealthy attitude.

Oh my god. Let him land.

Let him land!

Goddamnit, Lothar!

You have massacred the poor guy!

You think you can make our

father proud of you this way?

Dad had lost his sense of hearing

while saving the life of an enemy.

So you want to win the war without killing anybody?

I have watched Voss and you and

I don't like what I have seen.

You are all brilliant pilots.

But you have the wrong attitude.

What a stupid idea! Painting the plane in bright red...

Stop fantasizing!

This is no playgound.

We are no children, we are men.

And this is a f***ing war.

I know that.

I know that very well!

But we can still fight with decency!

What now?

You heard it?

Even Paris has heard it

- ...and Berlin.

- Come on, he was just over-ambitious.

Then tell him to pull himself together in the future.
