Title: Have you seen ....?
Post by: Nigel Jackson on March 10, 2013, 08:01:58 PM

Hello

With just one television in the house and the programme that had been decided upon having no appeal to me whatsoever, I resorted to YouTube and found this. There have been over 4,000 hits since it was posted last September and it may have appeared many times elsewhere.  So it may be very familiar to all, but it was new to me and I started to watch the first part of the forty minutes. Seems fascinating.

If the link doesn't work just tap in Richthofen and it was the first item to come up for me.  The title is WW1: Richthofen Film (1919).

Best wishes
Nigel

And this too

though there is some overlap of content with the previous link and we might question the authenticity of some of the sequences. There are though some nice nuggets in here. It is dated 1934. A propaganda tool?

Best wishes

Yeah, they always were better at propaganda, but I don`t think Moritz liked wearing flying goggles!
