The Red Baron
WWI, The Great War, the war to end all wars...a new fangled machine had just been invented merely 10 years before the start of WWI, called the airplane. So, what did we do as humans, when a great invention comes along. We figure out a way to weaponize and destroy each other with it...oh, and no one was better than the Red Baron at doing just that.
Join us today as we dive into the world of Manfred von Richthoven, the Red Baron...a nickname given to him after he decided to paint his warplane red...which struck fear in his enemies.
So, strap on your leather cap, goggles, a fancy scarf, and join us as we take you on a trip through WWI, and we find out the fate of the Red Baron! The Red Baron flew for the Central Powers, today we might know them as the Axis powers...we tackle the Red Baron, the only way we know how to here at Detectivery State of Mind...tune in to find out what happens to our infamous war pilot, who somehow landed himself on the face of a pizza box!
