Event Narrative
Richthofen stays in Schweidnitz and dictates his autobiography “Der Rote Kampfflieger” (The Red Fighter Pilot). This causes confusion among the local population: 'Who is the young lady who comes in and out of the cavalry captain's office day after day? He, Manfred von Richthofen, introduces her to curious people as his fiancée. The book is published in the same year and sells well. It also reaches Great Britain via neutral countries and is also printed there - during Richthofen's lifetime.
