Testimonial of Carl August von Schoenebeck

Testimonial or Carl August von Schoenebeck: When I returned to my old airport on April 23, 1918, I learned that Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen had died during an air fight. The message shocked us deeply, because we considered him an unapproachable in our youthful enthusiasm. We were told that he had landed with his device, but bled to death by a shot in the heart. It was found to be firm in hand with the steering bat.
