Thanks for rating The Red Baron!
Baron Manfred von Richthofen is the most feared and celebrated pilot of the Imperial German Air Service in World War I. His companions and himself view their aerial combat as a noble sporting contest, ignoring the terrible extent of war. After being wounded in action, von Richthofen falls in love with the nurse Kaete and realizes he is only being manipulated for propaganda. Torn between his disgust for the war and duty to his men, von Richthofen sets out to fly again. |

Controversy
It has been reported that the movie portrays Canadian pilot Roy Brown killing the Baron. Modern research has shown that Brown could not have killed von Richthofen, as he did not fire at him from the angle at which the fatal bullet approached, or within the right timeframe, although he was given credit for it by the Royal Air Force. It is now believed that Australian machine gunner Cedric Popkin, or another Australian soldier, killed the baron.
