-There![br]-Where?

0:02:01.654,0:02:02.873
At the tree!

0:02:20.507,0:02:21.103
Down.

0:03:58.863,0:04:00.423
THE RED BARON

0:04:09.893,0:04:13.768
Northern France, Allied territory 1916, ten years later

0:08:52.101,0:08:56.633
German airfield near the frontline,[br]France, 30 minutes later

0:09:04.077,0:09:06.316
Have you lost your mind, Gentlemen?

0:09:06.772,0:09:07.849
Yes Lieutenant.

0:09:08.288,0:09:12.326
You used our squadron planes to fly[br]to the funeral of an enemy?

0:09:12.326,0:09:13.677
Yes sir!

0:09:14.332,0:09:17.796
Lehmann and Sternberg knew him,[br]Captain Winston Clyde Walker.

0:09:19.004,0:09:20.677
I mean it was him in the coffin.

0:09:21.225,0:09:22.583
He tells the truth, Sir.

0:09:24.178,0:09:27.132
My uncle, the Duke of Westchester[br]is the brother-in-law of his mother.

0:09:28.115,0:09:30.918
Lehmann and me went to college with him.[br]At Eton, Sir.

0:09:31.177,0:09:33.675
You are talking about a British pilot,[br]god damn it.

0:09:34.050,0:09:35.575
One of the best the RFC had.

0:09:35.946,0:09:37.738
It's a pity that he's not alive anymore, Sir.

0:09:40.409,0:09:41.843
To hell with you.

0:09:42.902,0:09:43.864
Dismissed!

0:09:52.154,0:09:56.026
I've heard your plane cought some bullets[br]while you were visiting the funeral, Richthofen.

0:09:56.948,0:09:59.139
Ah, I just love these tiny chatty Airfields, Kielmeyer.

0:09:59.139,0:10:02.059
Does anybody want a cigarette?[br]- You have French ones?

0:10:06.399,0:10:07.448
-De rien.[br]-Merci.

0:10:07.652,0:10:09.259
Richthofen shot down a two-seater today.

0:10:12.947,0:10:15.095
I guess it was meant as compensation[br]for disobeying my orders?

0:10:15.823,0:10:17.013
No.

0:10:17.013,0:10:18.608
I just wanted to score.

0:10:23.387,0:10:25.914
I have just received a report that a British RE8

0:10:25.914,0:10:27.464
went down 12 km from here.

0:10:28.123,0:10:29.571
You have my deepest respect, Baron.

0:10:30.753,0:10:33.295
Let us go and find it to confirm your kill.

0:11:00.871,0:11:04.118
Come on lend a hand!

0:11:08.167,0:11:08.699
One

0:11:09.432,0:11:10.057
two

0:11:13.408,0:11:14.775
I said be careful!

0:11:19.264,0:11:20.589
That doesn't look good.

0:11:30.087,0:11:31.314
Put him there...

0:11:32.793,0:11:33.852
Hurry up, he is heavy.

0:11:36.672,0:11:37.952
He is losing much blood.

0:11:38.483,0:11:39.835
Lend a hand.

0:11:39.835,0:11:41.095
Hold that.

0:11:42.609,0:11:44.813
You will make it.

0:11:47.798,0:11:49.681
We must carry him to the car.

0:11:50.293,0:11:51.821
Immediately.

0:11:51.821,0:11:53.235
Take him!

0:11:59.319,0:12:00.514
Thank you.

0:12:00.514,0:12:02.435
You have saved his life.

0:12:02.435,0:12:03.464
No.

0:12:03.464,0:12:05.222
I shot him down.

0:12:26.179,0:12:27.595
You got him, Sternberg.

0:12:27.845,0:12:32.266
...rubbish. The DH2 one-seater should be[br]attacked from above...

0:12:32.266,0:12:34.643
See Sterni, if the attacker has a rotary engine then....

0:12:34.643,0:12:36.518
What is a rotary engine?

0:12:43.833,0:12:45.379
Oh Lieutenant Sternberg...

0:12:47.327,0:12:48.683
Hey, come back.

0:12:49.514,0:12:50.673
Well, Voss.

0:12:51.536,0:12:53.735
Obviously she prefers men like me. Right?

0:12:54.123,0:12:55.967
Men like you?

0:12:57.418,0:13:01.140
Moses, Freud...[br]- Perhaps we also should get circumcised?

0:13:07.277,0:13:08.808
Hey where are you going?

0:13:09.863,0:13:12.236
What do you think Manfred,[br]she looks like your little nurse huh?

0:13:12.880,0:13:14.515
...I mean: DAT ASS.

0:13:18.969,0:13:20.319
I'm sorry Sir.

0:13:20.319,0:13:23.186
What are you doing here?

0:13:24.902,0:13:26.698
Come, drink with us.

0:13:30.015,0:13:32.502
I thought the gentlemen just[br]wanted to drink a cocktail.

0:13:33.091,0:13:35.147
Sit, drink and relax...

0:13:45.628,0:13:46.964
I'm married you know...

0:13:47.556,0:13:48.555
Me too.

0:13:49.701,0:13:52.899
I mean, almost.

0:13:56.063,0:13:57.716
...we need a bit of water.

0:14:08.257,0:14:10.405
The driver says the engine is overheated.

0:14:35.436,0:14:37.621
Lieutenant.[br]-My name is von Richthofen.

0:14:38.995,0:14:40.445
I'm glad to see you again, Mademoiselle.

0:14:40.683,0:14:43.024
I know your name.[br]-Oh really?

0:14:43.353,0:14:46.623
The pilot that you shot down told me your name.

0:14:46.933,0:14:48.212
So he survived?

0:14:49.288,0:14:51.850
Are you just asking or[br]does it really interest you?

0:14:52.477,0:14:53.600
The former.

0:14:54.151,0:14:55.875
At least you are honest.

0:14:56.243,0:14:57.891
That's a good start isn't it?

0:14:58.762,0:15:01.439
Can't I just ask without being interested?

0:15:02.227,0:15:04.616
So, what's your name?

0:15:04.931,0:15:07.584
His name is Captain Roy Brown.

0:15:07.914,0:15:10.868
And he's still alive regardless of other things.

0:15:10.868,0:15:14.271
He told me that you were a brilliant pilot

0:15:15.226,0:15:16.977
and a cheeky rogue.

0:15:17.623,0:15:18.411
I understand.

0:15:19.174,0:15:21.528
Tell him that I am flattered by his compliments.

0:15:21.528,0:15:23.876
And that I hope that we will

0:15:23.876,0:15:25.274
never meet in the sky again.

0:15:26.135,0:15:27.589
He might still get me.

0:15:28.436,0:15:30.649
And perhaps I won't have[br]the same luck as him.

0:15:31.444,0:15:33.273
And meet such a gorgeous nurse.

0:15:35.180,0:15:37.448
Unbelievable. Have a nice evening.

0:15:39.621,0:15:41.580
Have you seen my scarf?

0:15:42.611,0:15:43.868
I'll send it to you.

0:15:44.835,0:15:46.106
No no, you can keep it.

0:15:46.106,0:15:47.392
It's a lucky charm.

0:16:47.065,0:16:49.173
The French have sent their condolences

0:16:49.173,0:16:50.866
together with the confirmation of the kill.

0:16:51.198,0:16:53.972
The mass for Kielmeyer will be today at 4pm

0:16:56.159,0:16:58.800
The enemy pilot who lead the attack four days ago

0:17:00.201,0:17:01.346
it was Hawker.

0:17:02.550,0:17:03.460
What?

0:17:03.680,0:17:04.901
Major Lanoe Hawker?

0:17:07.328,0:17:08.669
Yes, exactly.

0:17:10.184,0:17:12.323
I saw his face. He had a beard.

0:17:13.274,0:17:14.450
And the Grim Reaper painted on his plane.

0:17:15.022,0:17:16.222
It's their best man.

0:17:17.784,0:17:20.345
He's a nasty fellow.[br]He already shot down 9 of our men.

0:17:20.842,0:17:23.159
When they were still flying unarmed recon missions

0:17:23.159,0:17:25.380
he already mounted a gun on his plane.

0:17:25.380,0:17:27.381
I could barely shake him off.

0:17:27.381,0:17:28.710
He came pretty near.

0:17:30.803,0:17:32.907
Then why didn't you attack him?

0:17:33.798,0:17:36.137
I only attack if I can win.

0:17:53.618,0:17:55.135
How important is the Pour le Merite for you?

0:17:57.544,0:17:58.906
I would kill for it.

0:18:00.793,0:18:03.140
I just got a telegram from the Army High Command

0:18:03.140,0:18:06.083
they want to give it to you by all means.

0:18:07.311,0:18:08.864
So what are they waiting for?

0:18:09.374,0:18:10.719
You know the regulations.

0:18:10.719,0:18:13.130
And not even the Kaiser would ignore the regulations

0:18:13.130,0:18:15.529
so you better do what they want[br]and shoot down a balloon.

0:18:17.446,0:18:18.532
I hunt planes.

0:18:19.811,0:18:21.421
And not things that cannot move.

0:18:22.083,0:18:23.563
You are not a hunter lieutenant.

0:18:23.563,0:18:26.191
You are a soldier. And you have to obey orders.

0:18:26.191,0:18:28.468
Especially if the orders were issued[br]by General von Höppler himself.

0:18:44.217,0:18:45.810
What if I shoot down Hawker?

0:18:46.141,0:18:47.903
Avoid Hawker.

0:18:48.562,0:18:49.654
You are not a match for him.

0:18:57.578,0:18:58.342
Let me through.

0:19:26.230,0:19:27.948
Anybody have a wrench?

0:19:56.566,0:19:57.854
I can't believe it.

0:20:01.676,0:20:03.103
Now you've finally made it.

0:20:04.444,0:20:05.806
You shot down a legend.

0:20:07.395,0:20:08.770
Now you are one too.

0:20:11.707,0:20:13.223
Go ahead and eat, my mother made them.

0:20:15.071,0:20:16.155
Mhh, delicious.

0:20:17.284,0:20:18.644
Lieutenant Oswald Boelcke.

0:20:19.498,0:20:20.604
They are desperately searching for somebody

0:20:20.604,0:20:21.890
who steps in his footprints.

0:20:22.623,0:20:24.168
I asked him about his secret.

0:20:24.168,0:20:25.545
His answer was:

0:20:27.450,0:20:28.874
"It's simple...

0:20:30.106,0:20:31.559
...I fly as near as possible to the enemy...

0:20:31.559,0:20:32.628
...pull the trigger...

0:20:32.628,0:20:34.548
...and of course he will come down."

0:20:37.449,0:20:39.768
Sterni and me are going to Arras, drink a bit...

0:20:40.060,0:20:41.050
Come with us.

0:20:42.644,0:20:44.392
Perhaps we meet your nurse again?

0:20:45.487,0:20:46.725
You have to get her already

0:20:46.725,0:20:48.395
or she will stay in your head forever.

0:20:49.908,0:20:51.643
The earlier you lose your traction the better...

0:20:55.929,0:20:56.723
Werner?

0:20:59.759,0:21:01.238
I will become a legend myself.

0:21:02.429,0:21:03.953
I will be the Ace of Aces.

0:21:05.834,0:21:10.400
High Army Command, Western Front, Lille, France[br]January 1917

0:21:19.974,0:21:21.068
Stop!

0:21:21.068,0:21:22.706
There you go.

0:21:28.165,0:21:29.328
I'm starving.

0:21:29.538,0:21:30.828
Me too.

0:21:31.095,0:21:32.844
Prussians never complain, gentlemen.

0:21:49.865,0:21:50.911
Let's go.

0:21:53.502,0:21:55.264
Bring back some breakfast.

0:22:14.970,0:22:16.516
At ease, gentlemen.

0:22:19.015,0:22:20.473
L'ordre Pour Le Merite...

0:22:21.876,0:22:23.564
Let's see...

0:22:24.811,0:22:27.591
Prussia's highest medal for bravery.

0:22:28.380,0:22:31.859
A year ago Boelcke was the first pilot to be awarded.

0:22:33.411,0:22:35.162
Things have changed since then.

0:22:36.576,0:22:37.734
Don't you think, Baron?

0:22:41.107,0:22:42.256
Indeed, General.

0:22:42.639,0:22:44.249
He only had to shoot down 8 planes.

0:22:44.249,0:22:46.170
I had to shoot down twice as many.

0:22:46.170,0:22:49.032
We already made an exception for you, Richthofen.

0:22:49.450,0:22:51.544
You still owe us a balloon, am I right?

0:22:52.927,0:22:56.150
But because you shot down the best enemy guy...

0:22:56.150,0:22:57.863
"the unbeatable Major Hawker"

0:22:57.863,0:23:02.139
I appoint you the highest German Ace.

0:23:02.888,0:23:05.425
You take over command of 11th Squadron.

0:23:05.425,0:23:07.453
-Come with me.[br]-Excellent, General.

0:23:07.453,0:23:14.403
Look at this: in the east the Tsar's forces[br]pose no danger to us, Gentlemen.

0:23:14.926,0:23:17.405
There wil be a revolution in Russia.

0:23:17.405,0:23:18.926
Amusing isn't it?

0:23:19.152,0:23:22.612
Lenin and his communists help the German Kaiser...

0:23:26.276,0:23:29.263
Well, the western front poses the biggest threat to us.

0:23:30.649,0:23:34.453
The English 1st and 3rd Armies are advancing[br]with everything they have.

0:23:35.769,0:23:37.265
And they have much to offer.

0:23:42.238,0:23:45.495
I have to get them out of there.

0:23:45.495,0:23:48.434
Step by step and day after day.

0:23:49.630,0:23:51.410
Even without Lenin's help.

0:23:56.829,0:24:01.817
Richhofen, your base will be at La Brayelles.

0:24:02.670,0:24:04.545
Northwest of Douai.

0:24:11.902,0:24:13.260
General?

0:24:13.832,0:24:14.696
Yes?

0:24:14.982,0:24:18.199
Shouldn't we be much nearer to Paris?

0:24:18.681,0:24:23.090
I mean, you have said two months ago[br]that we would be there in ten days.

0:24:23.893,0:24:24.518
Manfred!

0:24:36.776,0:24:39.944
The high command has given you a big responsibility,[br]young man.

0:24:39.944,0:24:41.775
Much greater than this medal.

0:24:42.493,0:24:45.247
You are not only responsible for the men under your command.

0:24:45.247,0:24:47.603
That's not why we have promoted you.

0:24:47.838,0:24:50.922
You were chosen to be the symbolic commander[br]of all flying units.

0:24:50.922,0:24:55.355
You are an idol because of your courage, honor and perseverance.

0:24:56.399,0:24:59.214
A symbol for the German superiority.

0:25:00.399,0:25:02.268
Pilots are like gods, Richthofen.

0:25:03.274,0:25:06.321
After the death of Boelcke the troops have lost their hero.

0:25:07.048,0:25:10.837
And if the enemy can shoot down our gods than it is...

0:25:10.837,0:25:15.930
not a very good motivation for all our[br]"ground workers" in the trenches, huh?

0:25:17.674,0:25:19.025
Gods don't die.

0:25:19.537,0:25:21.563
Do we understand each other?

0:25:23.557,0:25:24.496
Yes Sir.

0:25:25.352,0:25:26.199
Good.

0:25:27.044,0:25:28.669
You can leave now, gentlemen.

0:25:41.684,0:25:42.859
General?

0:25:43.246,0:25:44.008
Yes?

0:25:45.522,0:25:46.245
Go on.

0:25:47.478,0:25:52.147
Can we perhaps have some croissants,[br]butter, marmalade and coffee?

0:25:54.961,0:26:01.522
Richthofen's parental home, Schweidnitz, Germany

0:26:16.371,0:26:17.321
There you are!

0:26:19.270,0:26:20.384
Good morning mother.

0:26:20.942,0:26:22.522
I assume you've had a pleasant journey?

0:26:29.759,0:26:32.759
For how long are you going to wear[br]this old jacket, Manfred?

0:26:35.073,0:26:37.077
-There he is![br]-Cousin, brother!

0:26:39.048,0:26:39.745
May I see it?

0:26:39.745,0:26:41.232
Sure, it's in the bag.

0:26:42.005,0:26:45.270
Look, he still has the old jacket, mother.

0:26:46.067,0:26:46.897
Come on!

0:26:47.102,0:26:48.457
I've already told him...

0:26:48.457,0:26:50.066
Stop harrassing me with your jacket!

0:26:50.710,0:26:51.879
Give me a hug.

0:27:00.849,0:27:03.678
-I still think that the jacket...[br]-Mom!

0:27:13.310,0:27:14.822
Welcome home, son.

0:27:51.663,0:27:53.680
They all came here in honour of our son.

0:27:54.129,0:27:56.141
And what are they doing... play with the plane.

0:27:56.141,0:27:57.474
Like young boys.

0:27:57.474,0:28:00.088
Do you think my brothers will ever become adults?

0:28:00.088,0:28:01.635
Sweet little boys.

0:28:07.036,0:28:08.587
Let them play.

0:28:09.617,0:28:11.288
As long as they still can.

0:28:44.738,0:28:46.074
You told me you could fly.

0:28:47.115,0:28:48.206
But I can!

0:28:49.552,0:28:51.131
Wait until I sit in a real one.

0:28:51.737,0:28:53.223
You will see.

0:29:14.050,0:29:18.250
Richthofen's Squadron 11, Douai, France[br]January 1917

0:29:18.564,0:29:20.846
Always attack while having the sun behind you.

0:29:21.173,0:29:22.599
Don't shoot too soon.

0:29:23.034,0:29:25.552
It only warns your enemy and does nothing else.

0:29:26.971,0:29:29.829
The best firing distance is 50 meters. Not more.

0:29:30.802,0:29:32.429
But always remember:

0:29:33.111,0:29:35.804
Our objective is to shoot down planes, not pilots.

0:29:36.441,0:29:39.132
Stop shooting when the plane is already going down.

0:29:40.895,0:29:42.488
Gentlemen, we are sportsmen.

0:29:43.691,0:29:44.674
Not butchers.

0:29:51.960,0:29:53.130
- Merci[br]- De rien

0:29:57.957,0:29:58.846
Gentlemen!

0:30:00.281,0:30:01.548
This is my chief mechanic...

0:30:02.766,0:30:04.147
Corporal Reuber.

0:30:07.721,0:30:08.736
Dismissed!

0:30:11.390,0:30:12.314
Captain!

0:30:13.115,0:30:14.548
Stop clicking your heels, Wentzke.

0:30:14.921,0:30:16.500
Yes Sir!

0:30:18.441,0:30:20.594
-Hi.[br]-Oh, i almost forgot...

0:30:22.094,0:30:25.764
Whoever doesn't shoot down at[br]least one plane during the next weeks

0:30:25.764,0:30:27.076
will be fired.

0:30:36.843,0:30:40.709
German field hospital, St.Nicholas, Belgium[br]the next day.

0:30:49.634,0:30:50.542
Lieutenant!

0:30:51.071,0:30:53.477
This is a hospital, who do you think you are?

0:31:27.122,0:31:28.295
I'm dreadfully sorry.

0:31:28.701,0:31:30.044
Did you know him well?

0:31:35.370,0:31:36.552
I still don't know your name...

0:31:37.592,0:31:39.896
Käte Otersdorf

0:31:40.718,0:31:42.871
Un nom allemand, a german name?

0:31:43.203,0:31:45.683
My father was German, my mother is Belgian.

0:31:47.044,0:31:48.058
I see.

0:31:49.354,0:31:51.058
I love these french cigarettes.

0:32:02.525,0:32:03.544
You are...

0:32:05.043,0:32:06.791
...a very beautiful woman.

0:32:09.095,0:32:10.542
I hoped to see you again.

0:32:11.314,0:32:13.821
And that you would perhaps wear my scarf.

0:32:15.525,0:32:17.042
I will get it for you.

0:32:32.897,0:32:34.666
I wasn't able to wash out all of the stains.

0:32:36.492,0:32:37.282
Mademoiselle!

0:32:38.315,0:32:39.667
Have I done something wrong to you?

0:32:40.852,0:32:43.368
Am I not worthy of an answer[br]or do you hate all men?

0:32:43.570,0:32:44.479
Hate?

0:32:45.291,0:32:46.437
I don't hate you.

0:32:47.615,0:32:48.790
Hate is men's business.

0:32:49.547,0:32:50.979
But you are angry aren't you?

0:32:52.966,0:32:54.561
There is somebody else's blood on your scarf.

0:32:55.288,0:32:56.979
But it seems not to bother you.

0:32:58.280,0:33:02.042
I'm scared of men like you because I can't[br]understand why you are like that.

0:33:03.403,0:33:05.226
And when I'm scared I get angry.

0:33:06.822,0:33:09.633
And now I'd like you to leave me alone.

0:33:10.780,0:33:11.851
Wait, WAIT.

0:33:14.268,0:33:15.976
Imagine you were there now.

0:33:16.696,0:33:17.632
Like a falcon.

0:33:17.851,0:33:18.975
And you look down.

0:33:20.396,0:33:21.666
The wind is blowing in your face.

0:33:22.272,0:33:24.470
The smell and the noise of the engine and propeller.

0:33:26.897,0:33:28.777
There you can let yourself fall.

0:33:28.777,0:33:30.440
You can climb, do a barrell roll...

0:33:32.034,0:33:33.014
Freedom

0:33:34.913,0:33:36.475
That's what humans always dreamed of.

0:33:38.217,0:33:39.788
I already dreamed about it as a little dude.

0:33:41.650,0:33:43.183
But the best thing is:

0:33:43.538,0:33:44.916
Hunting!

0:33:44.916,0:33:46.192
The battle.

0:33:46.601,0:33:47.837
The GAME!

0:33:49.259,0:33:50.277
It's like a match.

0:33:51.198,0:33:52.468
A tournament, just like in sports.

0:33:55.131,0:33:56.475
Tennis won't kill you.

0:33:58.374,0:34:00.854
Your silly dreams were the reason[br]for your friend's death.

0:34:05.286,0:34:06.741
No, I don't hate you, Baron.

0:34:09.060,0:34:10.161
I just pity you.

0:34:16.373,0:34:17.914
Give me a break, Gentlemen!

0:34:18.761,0:34:20.263
It can't be that hard...

0:34:20.263,0:34:21.818
to paint a fucking plane!

0:34:24.195,0:34:25.411
It was an order!

0:34:25.697,0:34:26.601
Reuber!

0:34:35.395,0:34:36.333
Manfred...

0:34:36.333,0:34:37.473
What's the matter with you?

0:34:37.886,0:34:40.300
What do you want with this stupid coloring?

0:34:42.192,0:34:44.460
The High Army Command will crucify you!

0:34:44.959,0:34:47.411
I don't care about the High Command.

0:34:47.700,0:34:49.411
And you better stop questioning my orders.

0:34:50.722,0:34:52.269
I just think it's a mistake.

0:34:53.552,0:34:55.272
They will see you already from 100 km away.

0:34:55.706,0:34:57.660
We are completely losing our element of surprise.

0:34:57.660,0:34:59.512
I don't want to surprise anybody, Sternberg.

0:35:01.048,0:35:02.682
I want them to be scared.

0:35:12.723,0:35:14.805
Captain! Lieutenant Kurt Wolff reporting in.

0:35:19.189,0:35:20.754
Are you planning to take a nap up there?

0:35:22.400,0:35:23.738
I never fly without this cap.

0:35:23.738,0:35:25.536
It's my lucky charm.

0:35:27.313,0:35:28.460
I also have one.

0:35:29.722,0:35:31.554
My mother keeps ordering new jackets.

0:35:31.554,0:35:34.063
But I never pick them up.

0:35:37.089,0:35:38.157
See you later.

0:35:54.408,0:35:56.693
Six weeks later.

0:35:59.594,0:36:00.705
The general!

0:36:00.705,0:36:02.259
General von Höppner!

0:36:02.259,0:36:04.297
Look in this direction. Don't move.

0:36:04.657,0:36:05.659
Thank you.

0:36:10.344,0:36:12.397
You are quickly getting famous, Captain.

0:36:12.397,0:36:13.862
You are in the headlines.

0:36:18.299,0:36:20.344
The Kaiser himself has mentioned your name

0:36:20.344,0:36:22.846
after he heard about your 29th victory.

0:36:23.398,0:36:24.425
So...

0:36:25.783,0:36:28.086
I brought you a little surprise present...

0:36:28.518,0:36:30.389
aren't you becoming short of medals already?

0:36:33.275,0:36:35.196
Well, it's not really a medal.

0:36:35.931,0:36:36.912
Lieutenant...

0:36:44.347,0:36:45.348
It wasn't my idea.

0:36:45.710,0:36:47.348
After all it is good propaganda.

0:36:47.630,0:36:49.785
"The Richthofen Bros are flying together."

0:36:52.408,0:36:53.127
Welcome.

0:36:54.607,0:36:56.160
Your brother is a decent fellow.

0:36:56.160,0:36:58.535
He has all the right stuff that our Fatherland[br]needs at the moment.

0:36:59.617,0:37:00.951
One question...

0:37:01.203,0:37:03.139
the people keep inventing strange names for you...

0:37:03.535,0:37:04.579
"Le Diable Rouge"

0:37:04.579,0:37:06.264
Or "The Red Baron"

0:37:07.354,0:37:08.483
How come?

0:37:29.551,0:37:30.637
I see.

0:37:37.981,0:37:39.091
Impressive

0:37:40.827,0:37:42.221
Really impressive.

0:37:52.638,0:37:53.638
The sun always behind you...

0:37:53.858,0:37:55.251
Keep the wind direction in mind...

0:37:55.636,0:37:56.574
And don't forget:

0:37:56.849,0:37:59.668
The most important virtue of a good pilot is[br]to know when to retreat.

0:37:59.926,0:38:01.950
What. Is that supposed to be a joke?

0:38:02.780,0:38:04.512
Just do as we say, Lothar.

0:38:04.512,0:38:06.230
Avoid the battle?

0:38:06.230,0:38:07.235
That's right.

0:38:07.235,0:38:09.357
-If you can't win you turn back.[br]-Immediately!

0:38:09.357,0:38:11.886
Intelligence and cowardice are very close.

0:38:12.978,0:38:13.952
It's true.

0:38:15.198,0:38:16.198
Listen to him!

0:38:16.198,0:38:17.651
Good morning, gentlemen.

0:38:17.651,0:38:19.093
It's a good idea.

0:38:19.294,0:38:22.247
I heard that the stupid French believe[br]the colour to be bullet proof.

0:38:30.300,0:38:31.728
I wouldn't take this with you.

0:38:31.728,0:38:33.778
It might be in your way up there.

0:38:47.247,0:38:48.526
Looks much better now.

0:38:54.925,0:38:56.726
The riding crop stays here, bro.

0:39:02.809,0:39:05.498
-That was pretty damn close.[br]-That was fun, wasn't it?

0:39:13.588,0:39:15.216
Let's have dinner together tonight.

0:39:15.592,0:39:17.187
-Werner feels ronery huh?[br]-Yes.

0:39:17.608,0:39:19.571
Have you transferred him here?

0:39:20.093,0:39:20.920
Who?

0:39:20.920,0:39:22.538
Your brother Lothar.

0:39:23.821,0:39:25.507
Have you seen him? Where is he anyway?

0:39:25.773,0:39:27.266
He was behind me.

0:39:27.266,0:39:29.122
You should keep an eye on him.

0:39:29.122,0:39:30.871
He has got a very unhealthy attitude.

0:39:41.948,0:39:42.680
Oh my god. Let him land.

0:39:42.680,0:39:43.867
Let him land!

0:39:53.853,0:39:55.178
Goddamnit, Lothar!

0:39:55.466,0:39:57.257
You have massacred the poor guy!

0:39:58.591,0:40:00.890
You think you can make our[br]father proud of you this way?

0:40:00.890,0:40:03.166
Dad had lost his sense of hearing[br]while saving the life of an enemy.

0:40:04.116,0:40:06.193
So you want to win the war without killing anybody?

0:40:09.601,0:40:11.882
I have watched Voss and you and[br]I don't like what I have seen.

0:40:13.443,0:40:15.355
You are all brilliant pilots.

0:40:15.571,0:40:16.945
But you have the wrong attitude.

0:40:18.569,0:40:21.154
What a stupid idea! Painting the plane in bright red...

0:40:22.506,0:40:23.552
Stop fantasizing!

0:40:24.585,0:40:25.789
This is no playgound.

0:40:26.055,0:40:27.778
We are no children, we are men.

0:40:27.778,0:40:29.287
And this is a fucking war.

0:40:30.169,0:40:31.042
I know that.

0:40:32.682,0:40:34.307
I know that very well!

0:40:34.979,0:40:37.435
But we can still fight with decency!

0:40:49.894,0:40:50.755
What now?

0:40:52.919,0:40:53.988
You heard it?

0:40:53.988,0:40:55.661
Even Paris has heard it

0:40:55.661,0:40:57.913
- ...and Berlin.[br]- Come on, he was just over-ambitious.

0:40:57.913,0:40:59.791
Then tell him to pull himself together in the future.

0:41:00.004,0:41:02.743
I don't want to die only because your[br]brother is too ambitious.

0:41:03.962,0:41:05.755
And I also don't want[br]to see you kick the bucket.

0:41:36.425,0:41:41.530
Berlin, German imperial capital, May 1917

0:42:26.647,0:42:28.046
Good morning dear Hindenburg.

0:42:29.689,0:42:32.271
Ach, and my friend von Höppner.

0:42:32.834,0:42:34.440
Welcome to Berlin.

0:42:49.662,0:42:53.177
It seems the young man[br]is already more famous than...

0:42:54.537,0:42:55.773
what was his name?

0:42:55.773,0:42:57.485
-Oswald Boelcke, your majesty.[br]-Yes.

0:42:58.659,0:43:00.335
We need men like him.

0:43:01.038,0:43:01.922
I think...

0:43:02.716,0:43:05.602
we should promote you once again.

0:43:09.232,0:43:11.515
You are a real hero.

0:43:14.123,0:43:19.449
I guess he can hardly keep[br]the young Fräuleins at bay?

0:43:20.204,0:43:22.685
There aren't many fans[br]at 3000 meters altitude, your majesty.

0:43:34.801,0:43:36.897
Company, attention!

0:43:38.041,0:43:39.314
Are you ready, gentlemen?

0:43:53.686,0:43:57.310
Douai, Military Train Station,[br]German Occupied Territory

0:45:02.160,0:45:03.235
Move on!

0:45:04.490,0:45:05.514
Don't be so slow.

0:45:08.679,0:45:09.943
Move on.

0:45:15.881,0:45:16.819
Captain!

0:45:17.364,0:45:18.589
What shall we do now?

0:45:18.849,0:45:20.058
I could run them over.

0:45:20.976,0:45:22.679
Put the fucking gun away.

0:45:25.462,0:45:26.442
What did he say?

0:45:26.442,0:45:28.098
He wants the Captain's signature.

0:45:41.254,0:45:42.025
Ready!

0:45:42.025,0:45:42.897
Go!

0:45:47.876,0:45:49.003
-Ready![br]-Go!

0:45:53.457,0:45:54.758
How did you know?

0:45:55.159,0:45:56.804
I thought you lost yours recently.

0:46:31.810,0:46:33.091
Good morning, gentlemen.

0:46:33.091,0:46:34.287
Bodenschatz! Welcome!

0:46:34.713,0:46:35.914
My new adjutant.

0:46:35.914,0:46:37.038
Kurt Wolff

0:46:37.038,0:46:39.060
-Pleased to meet you.[br]-I've heard much about you.

0:46:39.431,0:46:40.134
Thanks.

0:46:41.467,0:46:42.755
Orders, Sternberg, orders.

0:46:43.056,0:46:44.818
My new commanding officer is the same man

0:46:44.818,0:46:46.698
whom I commanded myself not too long ago.

0:46:46.698,0:46:47.998
How are the flying conditions over here?

0:46:47.998,0:46:50.723
I've heard that you have to deal[br]with massive allied forces here?

0:46:51.117,0:46:52.257
More than massive.

0:46:52.257,0:46:55.754
While we produce 10 German planes[br]they unload 100 planes at the french coast.

0:46:56.599,0:46:57.436
Let them come.

0:46:58.429,0:47:00.332
We'll have to shoot them by the hundreds.

0:47:01.822,0:47:03.285
Our bro Lothar...

0:47:04.537,0:47:07.988
British offensive near Ypres, Belgium

0:51:27.365,0:51:28.479
No! Damn!

0:51:29.806,0:51:30.713
Bastards!

0:52:43.320,0:52:47.622
7km to the south, no-man's-land

0:53:33.070,0:53:34.213
Fucking moles.

0:53:34.596,0:53:37.368
I consider myself lucky that[br]I didn't get caught in one of their holes, too.

0:53:38.152,0:53:40.374
Your sense of tact is flattering me.

0:53:40.374,0:53:43.416
You perfect landing with shredded rudders[br]is already shameful enough for me.

0:53:44.254,0:53:47.591
I wanted to take a look at your Sopwith.[br]Brand new huh?

0:53:48.632,0:53:49.776
It was, earlier...

0:53:54.249,0:53:56.114
The infamous Red Baron, I assume?

0:53:57.537,0:53:59.788
Haven't I shot you down already last year?

0:54:00.413,0:54:01.773
Yes, you have.

0:54:02.120,0:54:04.045
How come that you fly again?

0:54:04.421,0:54:07.851
Your prison camps are pretty comfortable[br]but they have no airfields.

0:54:11.308,0:54:13.319
I would have died without your help last year.

0:54:18.687,0:54:19.592
Thank you.

0:54:20.478,0:54:22.431
I didn't save your live.

0:54:24.444,0:54:25.303
True.

0:54:26.287,0:54:29.591
Without her help I would have never[br]made it back into a plane.

0:54:29.591,0:54:31.069
She's an awesome woman.

0:54:31.662,0:54:33.474
She nursed me for weeks.

0:54:34.708,0:54:36.043
Did you get your scarf back?

0:54:42.025,0:54:43.380
What now?

0:54:44.069,0:54:46.179
We could fight a duel with our pistols.

0:54:46.620,0:54:48.465
If I shot you I would become famous, too.

0:54:48.465,0:54:51.069
I haven't got my pistol with me.[br]But you better close your holster

0:54:51.069,0:54:52.520
or you might lose your pistol, too.

0:55:07.976,0:55:09.708
How long have you already been in Europe?

0:55:09.708,0:55:11.908
Since Mother England asked her children for help.

0:55:13.430,0:55:15.366
I mean us, the English Colonies.

0:55:16.625,0:55:19.774
Well, the whole war seems to be a family affair.

0:55:20.089,0:55:22.550
Especially you aristocrats seem to love it.

0:55:22.910,0:55:25.689
The russian Tsar, the German Kaiser, the English Monarchy.

0:55:25.964,0:55:27.775
France, Austria, Germany

0:55:28.129,0:55:31.256
Everybody is somebody's nephew, brother or uncle.

0:55:31.256,0:55:33.440
Your love life certainly doesn't know borders.

0:55:33.440,0:55:35.911
And to secure these borders[br]we have to annihilate each other.

0:55:37.237,0:55:39.568
And some silly reasons can always be found.

0:55:47.549,0:55:49.990
You haven't opened your holster[br]because you were afraid?

0:55:51.003,0:55:52.614
You have very good eyes.

0:55:54.378,0:55:56.066
Did you plan to shoot me?

0:55:56.939,0:55:58.861
Aren't we here to shoot at each other?

0:56:01.940,0:56:02.818
True.

0:56:06.910,0:56:08.105
See you soon.

0:56:09.690,0:56:12.252
Don't get me wrong but I'd rather not.

0:56:16.220,0:56:17.336
True.

0:56:24.554,0:56:25.988
It was nice to meet you.

0:56:26.462,0:56:27.595
Good luck.

0:56:30.853,0:56:32.408
Speaking of family affairs...

0:56:33.642,0:56:36.144
One day this war will hopefully be over.

0:56:36.689,0:56:39.000
So keep in touch with this nurse.

0:56:39.710,0:56:41.360
I think she has a crush on you.

0:56:43.006,0:56:44.251
How do you know that?

0:56:45.532,0:56:47.313
She kept cursing you for weeks.

0:57:15.925,0:57:16.813
Stop the car!

0:57:19.521,0:57:20.661
Stop the car!

0:57:30.811,0:57:32.376
There you are, we just found him.

0:57:44.092,0:57:44.905
Sterni.

0:57:47.281,0:57:48.438
He needs a doctor!

0:57:48.897,0:57:50.498
He doesn't need a doctor, he needs a priest.

0:57:52.095,0:57:52.998
A rabbi.

0:57:53.411,0:57:54.410
Oh really?

0:58:25.330,0:58:26.643
He's dead, Manfred.

0:58:41.860,0:58:46.620
Richthofen's Fighter Wing 1, Marcke, Belgium[br]4 days later

0:59:13.203,0:59:14.182
I'm catching up slowly.

0:59:19.363,0:59:21.119
His funeral is now days ago.

0:59:32.760,0:59:36.291
Why are you not happy that I was promoted?[br]I am your brother.

0:59:51.760,0:59:53.370
I know that he was your friend.

0:59:55.682,0:59:56.891
But he was also a fighter pilot.

0:59:58.305,0:59:59.556
He knew the risks.

1:00:03.200,1:00:05.226
Every soldier is proudly taking these risks.

1:00:07.042,1:00:09.607
But you are more than a soldier,[br]you are a commanding officer!

1:00:11.776,1:00:14.044
You have the responsibility for the men out there!

1:00:14.760,1:00:16.439
And your country, and your people!

1:00:25.011,1:00:26.370
You know what dad used to say.

1:00:28.666,1:00:30.934
"An officer is not allowed to mourn."

1:01:42.301,1:01:43.386
You have a nice odor.

1:01:45.426,1:01:46.977
Much better than all the flowers here.

1:01:47.223,1:01:51.676
German field hospital St. Nicholas, July 1917

1:01:53.086,1:01:55.336
You are still a little boy with silly ideas.

1:01:58.676,1:01:59.963
You haven't changed.

1:02:02.792,1:02:04.403
I'm not so sure.

1:02:07.383,1:02:10.259
I wouldn't have let them shoot[br]me down a while ago.

1:02:12.035,1:02:12.769
Turn over.

1:02:30.925,1:02:32.961
So much about "Germany's greatest Hero"

1:02:36.489,1:02:40.142
I have enough of the bad news everyday.

1:02:41.988,1:02:43.112
I'm just trying to act for you.

1:02:43.112,1:02:44.924
You are sending out single fighter wings.

1:02:45.162,1:02:45.939
Doering.

1:02:47.087,1:02:50.657
They cannot stand against the enemy[br]formations on their own!

1:02:51.503,1:02:53.209
Lieutenant Doering has got his orders.

1:02:53.900,1:02:56.861
The High Army Command has ordered us[br]to fly with fixed schedules.

1:02:57.222,1:02:58.769
They are all idiots and retards.

1:02:59.393,1:03:01.362
They want us to fly routine border patrols.

1:03:02.271,1:03:03.485
We have to be flexible.

1:03:03.898,1:03:04.632
Free.

1:03:05.157,1:03:06.861
Being able to fight the enemy everywhere.

1:03:10.543,1:03:14.126
The British and the French are controlling[br]the air wherever and whenever they like.

1:03:14.704,1:03:15.395
We.

1:03:17.572,1:03:20.193
We are hardly shooting[br]any of their fucking planes at all.

1:03:23.524,1:03:27.066
I order you to ignore[br]the orders of High Command, Doering.

1:04:07.844,1:04:10.999
Mademoiselle Otersdorf?[br]What are you doing here?

1:04:12.344,1:04:13.594
I just follow my orders, Baron.

1:04:16.560,1:04:17.831
You were ordered to follow us?

1:04:19.168,1:04:19.873
Yes.

1:04:56.620,1:04:58.183
Hey Captain, nice to have you back again!

1:05:01.077,1:05:02.151
Welcome back.

1:05:23.827,1:05:25.654
The red ones belong to the 11th squadron.

1:05:27.877,1:05:29.056
Yellow ones are the 10th squadron.

1:05:31.182,1:05:32.732
Zebras are Nr 6.

1:05:33.118,1:05:34.556
Blacks are Nr 4.

1:05:35.700,1:05:38.547
You have in front of you[br]the most successful fighter wing of the war.

1:05:39.523,1:05:41.663
And over there you see the best pilots ever.

1:05:50.199,1:05:51.735
I never thought that this would happen.

1:05:52.089,1:05:52.823
What?

1:05:53.579,1:05:54.945
That you would smile.

1:06:01.345,1:06:02.778
I thought you were not allowed to fly.

1:06:12.576,1:06:14.451
Your little nurse looks really cute.

1:06:19.778,1:06:22.018
I may have a hole in the head but I'm not blind.

1:06:25.957,1:06:28.030
And I am already fit enough to punch you.

1:06:34.208,1:06:35.228
What are you writing?

1:06:36.941,1:06:38.263
A book.

1:06:39.873,1:06:40.942
About flying.

1:06:42.283,1:06:43.272
What are you reading?

1:06:43.899,1:06:45.312
I never see you without a book.

1:06:45.921,1:06:47.302
At the moment:

1:06:47.549,1:06:48.757
Oscar Wilde

1:06:50.608,1:06:51.712
Do you know his books?

1:06:56.274,1:06:57.002
No...

1:06:57.336,1:06:59.863
I can't find British literature in there.

1:07:05.342,1:07:06.467
Try this:

1:07:09.655,1:07:10.997
There must be

1:07:11.738,1:07:13.200
Shakespeare somewhere...

1:07:13.608,1:07:15.029
My father used to read it to us.

1:07:15.467,1:07:16.216
Lear

1:07:16.216,1:07:17.628
Comedy of Errors

1:07:18.192,1:07:20.154
Perhaps you can find some songs

1:07:20.862,1:07:22.671
and a bunch of billard related stuff

1:07:24.590,1:07:27.279
hunting, flying, horse-riding

1:07:27.528,1:07:29.747
how to flirt.

1:07:39.354,1:07:41.017
It is easy to read the mind of somebody

1:07:41.017,1:07:42.403
who has a hole in his head, Baron.

1:07:44.177,1:07:45.216
so...

1:07:46.427,1:07:48.137
go on... ask.

1:07:55.465,1:07:56.623
Would you...

1:07:58.240,1:08:00.170
Would you like to have a dinner with me?

1:08:02.026,1:08:02.953
Yes.

1:08:05.432,1:08:09.667
German occupied town of Lille, France

1:08:33.986,1:08:34.731
So?

1:08:35.780,1:08:36.818
I have to admit...

1:08:37.369,1:08:39.041
I had expected something else.

1:08:41.379,1:08:42.576
Something else?

1:08:43.129,1:08:44.605
What you write

1:08:45.109,1:08:47.634
is amusing

1:08:48.338,1:08:49.572
You thought it was boring.

1:08:50.276,1:08:50.987
Stupid

1:08:51.352,1:08:52.434
and deadly serious.

1:08:52.434,1:08:52.934
No

1:08:54.213,1:08:55.902
But you write about the war.

1:08:55.902,1:08:58.088
I had expected some patriotism.

1:08:58.417,1:08:59.712
Patriotism.

1:09:01.953,1:09:03.517
"...the virtue of the vicious."

1:09:07.604,1:09:08.870
So you did read Wilde.

1:09:09.686,1:09:10.870
Even a bit of Dante.

1:09:12.163,1:09:13.639
It would be helpful at the moment.

1:09:14.421,1:09:16.339
I mean...

1:09:17.461,1:09:19.102
knowing a bit about Infernos.

1:09:21.496,1:09:22.620
Dance with me.

1:09:24.258,1:09:25.102
No.

1:09:25.624,1:09:26.439
Better not.

1:09:27.689,1:09:29.117
I am an awfully bad dancer.

1:09:29.652,1:09:31.399
Just imagine that we are flying.

1:10:10.290,1:10:11.244
Marvellous.

1:10:13.835,1:10:15.290
To have such a hole in the head.

1:10:18.132,1:10:20.272
Without it I wouldn't sit beside you now.

1:10:20.586,1:10:21.520
Right?

1:10:23.386,1:10:25.414
At the moment I am grounded.

1:10:29.506,1:10:30.367
Mentzke?

1:10:31.852,1:10:33.616
Could you turn around?

1:11:07.957,1:11:09.598
There are so many hospitals

1:11:09.598,1:11:11.636
they have to number them all the way through.

1:11:12.446,1:11:13.742
This is Nr 76

1:11:15.613,1:11:17.104
There are 500 men here.

1:11:19.583,1:11:21.068
Most of them will die.

1:11:22.042,1:11:23.819
The rest will never be able to see again.

1:11:24.306,1:11:24.990
Or walk.

1:11:25.948,1:11:27.107
taste anything

1:11:27.924,1:11:28.629
love

1:11:31.957,1:11:34.193
No, it is not marvellous to have[br]a hole in the head.

1:11:35.893,1:11:37.707
Consider yourself lucky to be alive.

1:11:39.957,1:11:42.943
Only because of your origin you gain[br]benefits that the others don't have.

1:11:44.973,1:11:46.191
They have no choice.

1:11:47.176,1:11:48.321
This isn't a game.

1:11:50.617,1:11:52.551
Never before the world has seen bigger beasts.

1:11:55.331,1:11:56.925
Never before was there greater horror.

1:13:09.803,1:13:10.784
Come in.

1:13:28.445,1:13:31.827
I need something for my headaches.

1:14:49.362,1:14:50.183
Go in the basement!

1:14:50.948,1:14:51.792
Immediately!

1:14:52.948,1:14:53.808
You also fly at night?

1:14:59.229,1:14:59.937
Take you gas mask.

1:15:02.088,1:15:03.233
You fly at night?

1:15:04.150,1:15:05.214
No, we don't.

1:15:10.930,1:15:11.587
Here.

1:15:14.046,1:15:14.954
Find a save place.

1:15:19.364,1:15:20.275
Turn off all lights.

1:15:21.726,1:15:22.385
Give me that.

1:15:22.964,1:15:23.970
The Army High Command, Sir.

1:15:23.970,1:15:25.088
Bodenschatz here.

1:15:25.697,1:15:26.856
Turn off all the lights!

1:15:28.745,1:15:29.621
Night bombers!

1:15:29.900,1:15:30.915
Good morning Captain!

1:15:30.915,1:15:31.900
Four of them already passed.

1:15:31.900,1:15:32.887
Four others incoming.

1:15:32.887,1:15:34.276
Overall only eight, it could be worse.

1:15:35.325,1:15:37.230
They didn't just accidentally a few bombs,[br]Doering.

1:15:38.601,1:15:40.996
They know about this airfield and there will be[br]more than eight.

1:15:40.996,1:15:41.932
Many more!

1:16:12.562,1:16:13.382
Good morning.

1:16:14.106,1:16:14.836
Good morning.

1:16:15.211,1:16:16.865
Wolff, how are you?

1:16:17.360,1:16:18.119
It's ok.

1:16:18.619,1:16:20.121
All MG-Emplacements are manned.

1:16:20.584,1:16:22.804
More can't be done to secure our[br]planes on the ground

1:16:23.168,1:16:24.165
Mentzke, bring my gear!

1:16:25.151,1:16:25.993
Prepare for take-off!

1:16:27.335,1:16:28.710
You are injured, you can't fly yet!

1:16:28.710,1:16:30.336
I won't let them butcher us like that.

1:16:30.741,1:16:31.600
I have wings.

1:18:27.221,1:18:27.857
Captain?

1:18:51.518,1:18:53.314
Are you mad? You attacked them head-on!

1:18:54.977,1:18:55.799
Bring me to her...

1:19:07.002,1:19:08.113
Don't move.

1:19:09.664,1:19:10.927
Go and search for her.

1:19:11.162,1:19:12.757
I want to know if she's alright.

1:19:30.097,1:19:31.145
You are gorgeous.

1:19:34.236,1:19:36.548
Fokker has built us a very good new plane.

1:19:38.719,1:19:40.316
Fast and maneuverable like the devil.

1:19:43.234,1:19:44.546
They climb like monkeys.

1:19:50.826,1:19:52.236
I know you are angry with me.

1:20:16.686,1:20:18.535
I was ordered to return to St. Nicholas.

1:20:20.031,1:20:20.872
I know.

1:20:29.751,1:20:31.139
I'm sorry for what happened[br]to Kurt Wolff.

1:20:33.739,1:20:35.238
He was a charming young man.

1:20:36.608,1:20:38.657
He had forgotten his bed cap, you know.

1:20:38.918,1:20:40.186
It was his lucky charm.

1:20:43.391,1:20:44.156
Baron...

1:20:46.470,1:20:47.235
Yes?

1:20:47.481,1:20:49.359
Have dinner with me again some day.

1:20:50.434,1:20:53.053
And promise that you will always[br]wear your good-luck jacket.

1:21:15.058,1:21:20.921
German fortification, Siegfried-Position,[br]northern France, November 1917

1:21:25.286,1:21:26.405
We aren't late I hope.

1:21:26.650,1:21:27.557
No, we aren't.

1:21:43.634,1:21:44.219
The toilet?

1:21:44.219,1:21:45.735
Down the stairs to the right, Sir.

1:21:46.026,1:21:46.824
Just a minute.

1:22:06.919,1:22:07.993
Attention!

1:22:09.900,1:22:11.339
Everything is going just as planned.

1:22:11.339,1:22:12.979
-Yes[br]-Really satisfactory.

1:22:14.014,1:22:14.740
Oh.

1:22:18.207,1:22:19.904
Our famous Fighter Ace

1:22:19.904,1:22:21.634
is visiting us at the frontline!

1:22:23.568,1:22:25.271
Thank you for accepting my invitation.

1:22:26.764,1:22:29.197
A magnificient sight, isn't it.

1:22:29.197,1:22:30.240
Richthofen.

1:22:32.240,1:22:33.426
Your majesty...

1:22:36.450,1:22:37.513
Your majesty!

1:22:38.520,1:22:39.660
The little brother.

1:22:42.045,1:22:44.397
You look unwell, my dear Baron.

1:22:45.867,1:22:46.915
Yes, your majesty.

1:22:47.886,1:22:48.837
But I'm fine.

1:22:49.929,1:22:51.164
As always.

1:22:52.371,1:22:54.508
Sometimes perhaps disconcertingly.

1:22:56.872,1:22:59.037
How is it possible to be "disconcertingly fine"?!

1:23:00.230,1:23:01.604
It sometimes happens around here.

1:23:03.684,1:23:04.929
We kill some of their men.

1:23:05.975,1:23:08.120
And while they go down in flames we are fine.

1:23:09.245,1:23:10.697
I find that irritating.

1:23:19.099,1:23:23.054
My soldiers, Richthofen...

1:23:23.540,1:23:25.118
don't kill other men.

1:23:26.155,1:23:28.022
They are simply destroying the enemy.

1:23:29.083,1:23:30.303
Well,

1:23:30.538,1:23:32.443
the outcome seems to be the same.

1:23:36.351,1:23:40.418
Richthofen's Fighter Wing 1, Avesnes-Le-Sec, France

1:23:45.757,1:23:46.851
Yes, Mentzke?

1:23:47.458,1:23:48.770
You have a guest, Captain.

1:23:56.023,1:23:57.645
I thought we should celebrate.

1:24:05.546,1:24:06.895
They published your book!

1:24:11.044,1:24:12.834
It will be read in the whole of Europe.

1:24:14.133,1:24:15.116
So...

1:24:15.447,1:24:17.347
are we having dinner tonight?

1:24:17.884,1:24:19.176
And dance?

1:24:19.989,1:24:21.565
The "Metropole" was closed.

1:24:21.799,1:24:23.287
Yes, because of their kitchen.

1:24:23.287,1:24:25.441
An English bomb destroyed it.

1:24:30.457,1:24:31.604
These bloody Englishmen.

1:24:32.253,1:24:34.925
They will only stop when everything[br]will taste as bad as their own food.

1:24:50.885,1:24:52.063
They don't want me to fly.

1:24:56.042,1:24:58.749
They do everything possible to keep me grounded.

1:25:00.126,1:25:00.978
Really?

1:25:05.768,1:25:07.868
I am supposed to command the whole Air Force.

1:25:08.657,1:25:10.043
It's an order by the Kaiser.

1:25:11.794,1:25:13.348
That is wonderful.

1:25:14.667,1:25:16.223
I woke up so often during the night

1:25:16.223,1:25:18.042
and read

1:25:18.042,1:25:20.009
the lists of pilots who are missing in action.

1:25:24.867,1:25:27.104
It is so good to know that you are grounded.

1:25:28.041,1:25:29.121
In safety.

1:25:40.682,1:25:41.469
Good.

1:25:55.431,1:25:57.371
Your dancing skills are already much better,[br]Baron.

1:26:02.813,1:26:04.790
I have to look out for alternatives anyway.

1:26:21.528,1:26:23.084
-Good evening guys.[br]-Good evening Captain.

1:26:23.084,1:26:24.729
-Pretty cold huh?[br]-Too right.

1:26:31.434,1:26:32.928
A brand new Bentley Engine...

1:26:34.335,1:26:35.602
Where did you find that?

1:26:36.852,1:26:38.444
Bentleys don't simply fall from the sky.

1:26:38.763,1:26:41.162
Believe me, the guy didn't give it[br]to me by choice.

1:27:06.954,1:27:08.733
You always wanted to be the Ace of Aces.

1:27:09.600,1:27:11.234
Now they offer it to you and you hesitate.

1:27:12.420,1:27:13.173
Yes...

1:27:15.528,1:27:16.629
I always wanted to be like him.

1:27:20.493,1:27:21.261
Werner?

1:27:25.282,1:27:26.914
Would you ever be able to quit flying?

1:27:29.733,1:27:30.783
Never.

1:27:32.762,1:27:34.163
But if you want to hear my advice...

1:27:35.056,1:27:36.366
accept the offer.

1:27:37.853,1:27:39.082
You just want me to quit

1:27:39.082,1:27:40.788
so that you will become number one.

1:27:41.287,1:27:42.814
Finally you realize.

1:27:44.470,1:27:45.433
Alright.

1:27:45.933,1:27:48.733
-I quit.[br]-Good.

1:27:49.662,1:27:51.101
If you quit first.

1:27:52.891,1:27:53.828
Forget it.

1:27:53.828,1:27:55.350
I am married to my plane.

1:27:55.760,1:27:57.788
I pass every free minute with her.

1:28:04.265,1:28:08.108
Fokker Factory, Schwerin, Germany.

1:28:09.111,1:28:10.820
You are constructing[br]marvellous Planes here, Fokker.

1:28:11.314,1:28:12.704
-The best.[br]-Thank you.

1:28:13.404,1:28:18.232
But somehow our own pilots think[br]they could build even better ones.

1:28:19.693,1:28:20.610
Well,

1:28:21.141,1:28:23.410
sometimes we tune them a bit.

1:28:24.280,1:28:26.109
-Here and there.[br]- Tuning is one thing...

1:28:26.109,1:28:29.279
...but replacing our engines with enemy engines...

1:28:29.672,1:28:30.906
Where did you hear that?

1:28:30.906,1:28:32.798
Just recently we got a report

1:28:32.798,1:28:35.970
about the recovery of a triplane that had been shot down.

1:28:37.078,1:28:39.997
Well, the British found it very interesting

1:28:39.997,1:28:43.139
that there was a Bentley Engine in a Fokker.

1:28:47.777,1:28:49.434
-I want to see it.[br]-Of course.

1:28:49.434,1:28:51.081
I want to see it immediately.

1:28:51.081,1:28:53.575
Show me this fucking report immediately.

1:29:16.058,1:29:18.231
Schweidnitz, Germany

1:29:33.729,1:29:35.104
Only three weeks left, Manfred.

1:29:35.643,1:29:37.341
I already got my marching orders.

1:29:37.556,1:29:38.947
I will be in your fighter squadron!

1:29:41.212,1:29:43.072
And what happened to this guy?

1:29:44.137,1:29:45.541
Killed in action.

1:29:49.641,1:29:50.838
And this one?

1:29:50.838,1:29:52.109
His name is Voss, right?

1:29:58.755,1:29:59.835
They are all dead.

1:30:09.004,1:30:10.780
I will fight on your and Lothar's side!

1:30:11.020,1:30:13.212
Our great offensive is prepared with full intensity.

1:30:13.772,1:30:15.394
They are calling it "Operation Michael".

1:30:15.822,1:30:17.166
We will win this war, right?

1:30:17.550,1:30:18.838
Wolfram, please...

1:30:19.385,1:30:20.522
It's ok, dad.

1:30:20.522,1:30:22.103
Of course we are winning.

1:30:22.103,1:30:24.113
The allies have no clue what is awaiting them.

1:30:28.925,1:30:30.491
We flew on patrol for weeks.

1:30:31.003,1:30:32.550
And we shot down their recon planes.

1:30:32.989,1:30:34.941
They have no clue where we will break through.

1:30:36.533,1:30:38.275
We are prepared optimally.

1:30:40.378,1:30:42.383
This offensive will finally annihilate them.

1:31:00.739,1:31:04.583
German position, western front, France[br]February 1918

1:31:06.924,1:31:08.011
Good morning Captain!

1:31:14.791,1:31:15.446
Captain!

1:31:15.446,1:31:16.532
Follow us!

1:31:28.486,1:31:29.540
Take cover!

1:31:56.380,1:31:57.874
Now that's an unexpected pleasure!

1:32:00.129,1:32:03.626
You came to witness another British defeat, Captain?

1:32:04.741,1:32:05.506
Adjutant!

1:32:05.779,1:32:07.576
Find somebody with a photo-camera.

1:32:09.255,1:32:10.329
It's good propaganda.

1:32:12.078,1:32:14.394
Our fighter ace down here with us.

1:32:15.110,1:32:16.200
On the day of victory.

1:32:17.673,1:32:18.892
Your excellency,

1:32:18.892,1:32:20.141
we should talk.

1:32:23.617,1:32:25.144
You wouldn't want to have me down here.

1:32:26.527,1:32:28.893
If you want me to have strategic competence

1:32:29.477,1:32:30.797
you won't like it afterwards.

1:32:33.318,1:32:34.560
And why not?

1:32:35.671,1:32:38.156
We have the greatest confidence[br]in your abilites, Baron.

1:32:38.779,1:32:40.341
Then let us surrender.

1:32:43.062,1:32:45.187
I don't have enough time for jokes.

1:32:46.796,1:32:49.168
I've had 73 aerial victories.

1:32:49.378,1:32:51.170
Do you know how I managed to do that?

1:32:51.910,1:32:53.781
If I couldn't win a dogfight

1:32:53.781,1:32:55.513
I would turn around and flee.

1:32:56.356,1:32:58.953
And why do you believe that[br]we can't win this war?

1:32:59.534,1:33:01.048
And our Fatherland?

1:33:01.762,1:33:03.122
Our German values?

1:33:03.454,1:33:04.940
Our men out there in the battlefield.

1:33:05.482,1:33:07.679
Do you want to leave them to the enemy?

1:33:08.091,1:33:10.059
Throw them at the feet of the enemy?

1:33:11.627,1:33:12.752
French ones...

1:33:14.668,1:33:16.356
the best cigarettes

1:33:18.970,1:33:20.783
Why do we presume

1:33:21.217,1:33:23.658
that our values are better than French ones?

1:33:23.951,1:33:26.198
Or better than the British or American values?

1:33:27.031,1:33:28.379
They aren't better.

1:33:30.378,1:33:32.402
There isn't even a difference.

1:33:33.042,1:33:35.742
We all just need an excuse[br]for what we are doing.

1:33:35.742,1:33:37.127
or else

1:33:37.127,1:33:40.105
we would see who we really are.

1:33:44.574,1:33:46.656
Put this guy in a plane again!

1:33:48.666,1:33:50.032
With a parachute.

1:33:51.248,1:33:53.690
I can't afford to lose another hero.

1:34:02.902,1:34:05.632
Avesnes-Le-Sec, France, March 1918

1:34:06.769,1:34:08.094
Operation Michael

1:34:12.776,1:34:15.229
Our infantry is attacking from two directions

1:34:15.229,1:34:17.212
At St. Quentin, here and here.

1:34:17.701,1:34:19.766
The main battle line would be 70 km long.

1:34:19.766,1:34:21.307
That's right.

1:34:22.995,1:34:23.807
Three armies.

1:34:25.491,1:34:27.464
The 2nd Army and the 17th Army

1:34:27.464,1:34:29.122
start the offensive here.

1:34:29.824,1:34:31.901
The 18th army is going to advance here.

1:34:32.871,1:34:34.716
Our task is to win aerial superiority of

1:34:34.716,1:34:36.767
the airspace and remain in control of it.

1:34:37.838,1:34:39.995
That's no problem at all, or is it Bodenschatz?

1:34:40.352,1:34:42.517
They have four times more planes than us, Udet.

1:34:45.424,1:34:47.371
We were struggling with them already for months.

1:34:49.637,1:34:51.134
It will be worse than ever.

1:34:53.819,1:34:55.420
They will send everything they have.

1:35:09.565,1:35:10.394
Fucking cold.

1:35:59.944,1:36:01.048
What the hell are you doing?

1:36:02.749,1:36:04.238
Excuse the disturbance, Lieutenant.

1:36:04.880,1:36:06.333
What do you want with the picture of my brother?

1:36:07.473,1:36:08.534
He ordered me to take them off.

1:36:10.148,1:36:11.127
All of his pictures.

1:36:12.603,1:36:13.423
Sir.

1:36:23.968,1:36:25.195
Move out!

1:38:36.541,1:38:37.826
May god help us.

1:38:50.350,1:38:51.309
Gentlemen.

1:38:53.855,1:38:54.581
Let's go!

1:39:14.947,1:39:15.729
Ignition!

1:43:19.367,1:43:20.495
He really returned.

1:43:22.384,1:43:25.381
His Flying Circus has swept[br]the Brits out of the sky!

1:43:26.288,1:43:27.667
He passed over us.

1:43:28.714,1:43:29.946
He waved at us.

1:43:39.041,1:43:42.414
Richthofen's Fighter Squadron1, Cappy, France

1:43:55.694,1:43:56.383
Captain!

1:44:06.589,1:44:07.460
Gentlemen!

1:44:11.476,1:44:13.625
The High Command in northern sector wants to thank us.

1:44:13.882,1:44:15.880
I want to thank you, too.

1:44:16.233,1:44:18.036
You fought outstandingly.

1:44:18.354,1:44:19.149
Thank you.

1:44:21.446,1:44:22.551
Thank you Captain.

1:45:11.415,1:45:13.775
That's not how you pictured your[br]famous cousin, am i right?

1:45:16.807,1:45:19.477
The glorious Captain that[br]you have seen on photos.

1:45:20.461,1:45:21.778
The biggest hero of the Fatherland.

1:45:22.802,1:45:25.027
The ace of aces with 80 victories.

1:45:27.064,1:45:28.842
Nobody else has shot down so many of them.

1:45:30.785,1:45:32.338
I am really proud to be his brother.

1:45:38.223,1:45:40.316
You don't have a chance against this family, Udet.

1:45:42.501,1:45:43.331
Peace?

1:46:16.329,1:46:17.396
Is that one of yours?

1:46:20.082,1:46:21.064
I don't remember anymore.

1:46:22.999,1:46:24.220
You are flying again, right?

1:46:27.679,1:46:28.876
Why did you hide it.

1:46:30.064,1:46:31.869
Why did you lie to me again?

1:46:52.052,1:46:53.241
I didn't want to worry you.

1:46:53.702,1:46:55.033
I just want that you are happy.

1:46:56.361,1:46:58.439
Käthe, I can't do what they want from me.

1:46:58.972,1:47:00.514
They offered you security.

1:47:01.155,1:47:02.124
Your life.

1:47:08.062,1:47:08.991
When I was a little boy...

1:47:10.497,1:47:12.702
I could hit every target with[br]the rifle of my father.

1:47:15.376,1:47:17.490
Targets that the others couldn't see anymore.

1:47:19.521,1:47:21.647
I dreamed about seeing everything.

1:47:22.013,1:47:23.248
Like a bird.

1:47:24.408,1:47:25.210
Falcon eye.

1:47:26.268,1:47:27.576
"Eagle eye" was my nickname.

1:47:29.624,1:47:30.827
When I became a pilot

1:47:32.269,1:47:34.583
I really thought that I could see[br]everything from above

1:47:37.063,1:47:38.311
I saw nothing.

1:47:39.296,1:47:41.451
I was blind before I met you.

1:47:42.996,1:47:44.333
You opened my eyes.

1:47:45.496,1:47:47.310
You showed me what I didn't want to see.

1:47:49.038,1:47:51.157
We all just wanted to fly.

1:47:52.094,1:47:54.060
Voss, Sternberg...

1:47:54.060,1:47:55.857
Lehmann, Wolff...

1:47:55.857,1:47:57.533
Hawker

1:47:58.450,1:48:00.890
No matter which side, we all knew the risks.

1:48:04.620,1:48:05.984
I wanted to be the best.

1:48:07.554,1:48:09.265
I wanted to win and I assumed I had won.

1:48:09.656,1:48:11.075
But now I can see, Käthe.

1:48:11.361,1:48:13.547
I can see now that we turned the world into a slaughterhouse.

1:48:13.816,1:48:15.935
And I have already contributed too much

1:48:17.530,1:48:20.318
They are faking hope with my photo

1:48:20.318,1:48:21.797
where there is no hope left.

1:48:21.797,1:48:23.344
They use my name.

1:48:23.344,1:48:24.839
To pretend that there is immortality

1:48:24.839,1:48:27.121
although there is only pain and death left.

1:48:27.595,1:48:28.949
You said it yourself:

1:48:29.564,1:48:31.408
"The men who die out there have no choice."

1:48:31.702,1:48:32.614
I have.

1:48:33.112,1:48:34.842
I can't simply order them into battle.

1:48:35.827,1:48:37.467
I can perhaps lead them out there.

1:48:37.467,1:48:38.546
Help them.

1:48:38.546,1:48:39.672
Die with them.

1:48:39.672,1:48:42.219
But I will never betray them or hide the truth.

1:48:42.219,1:48:44.672
by playing an immortal God in Berlin.

1:48:50.476,1:48:51.235
You

1:48:51.948,1:48:53.386
You are my biggest victory.

1:49:13.723,1:49:15.123
Captain?

1:49:17.168,1:49:18.247
Excuse me please.

1:49:20.028,1:49:20.946
Capt...

1:49:23.748,1:49:27.012
Captain, an enemy squadron is approaching the front line

1:49:27.669,1:49:28.322
Thank you.

1:49:29.572,1:49:30.231
Sir.

1:49:50.479,1:49:51.509
Yes, thank you.

1:49:59.510,1:50:01.401
They were sighted a Lagnycourt.

1:50:02.157,1:50:03.361
That means...

1:50:03.361,1:50:04.931
They are coming from north west.

1:50:06.094,1:50:07.086
Thank you.

1:50:07.995,1:50:09.032
Brother.

1:50:09.032,1:50:11.576
How about me leading Nr 11 and you fly to my right?

1:50:12.245,1:50:13.406
It will be my pleasure.

1:50:14.097,1:50:14.819
Wolfram

1:50:15.946,1:50:17.555
You avoid every dogfight!

1:50:18.072,1:50:19.196
Stay near to Lothar.

1:50:19.684,1:50:21.226
If you are attacked you fly back!

1:50:21.821,1:50:22.779
And fast.

1:50:24.319,1:50:26.232
Intelligence and cowardice are very close.

1:50:43.960,1:50:45.164
A nice day to fly.

1:50:49.022,1:50:50.168
You are a courageous man, Baron.

1:50:56.320,1:50:57.680
A very courageous man...

1:53:07.740,1:53:08.713
Ignition!

1:54:18.599,1:54:21.863
Allied territory, northern France

1:54:21.863,1:54:24.748
two weeks later

1:54:52.624,1:54:53.269
Thank you.

1:54:53.610,1:54:54.655
You are welcome.

1:54:56.343,1:54:57.476
Mademoiselle.

1:55:45.253,1:55:46.983
I wanted to visit you much earlier.

1:55:48.663,1:55:51.669
But it wasn't easy to get into allied territory.

1:55:55.546,1:55:57.512
But then our friend helped me.

1:56:02.122,1:56:04.294
He asked me why I wanted to come here?

1:56:07.357,1:56:08.843
I said because I love you.

1:56:12.545,1:56:14.596
Have I ever said that to you?

1:57:30.246,1:57:33.072
Manfred von Richthofen

1:57:33.072,1:57:36.337
The most successful pilot[br]of ww1 with 80 victories

1:57:36.337,1:57:39.383
Shot down on 21. April 1918[br]being 25 years old.

1:57:39.383,1:57:43.727
He was buried with military[br]honors by the allies.

1:57:45.064,1:57:52.479
Käte Otersdorf, nothing is known about her life after the war

1:57:54.898,1:58:00.499
Captain Roy Brown. He was then believed[br]to be the one who shot down Richthofen

1:58:00.499,1:58:04.885
But until now nobody knows exactly how the Red Baron died.

1:58:04.885,1:58:07.218
Captain Brown died of a heart attack in 1944

1:58:07.218,1:58:09.978
Lothar von Richthofen survived ww1

1:58:09.978,1:58:13.152
He had a fatal accident on July 4 1922

1:58:13.152,1:58:16.935
while landing a transport plan in Hamburg.

1:58:20.681,1:58:25.228
Werner Voss, Fighter Ace and one of[br]Richthofen's best friends

1:58:25.228,1:58:30.639
He got 48 victories before he was shot down[br]on September 23 1917

1:58:32.928,1:58:36.900
Kurt Wolff, 33 Kills, shot down on September 15 1917.

1:58:36.900,1:58:43.620
He forgot to take his bedcap on his last flight.

1:58:44.101,1:58:48.622
Many jewish pilots fought for the German Reich in ww1

1:58:48.622,1:58:55.396
They are all represented by the fictional[br]character of Friedrich Sternberg

1:58:56.911,1:58:59.997
Wolfram von Richthofen, Richthofen's cousin fought during

1:58:59.997,1:59:04.443
the last months of ww1 as a pilot

1:59:04.443,1:59:07.632
until Germany surrendered on November 1918
