von Richtofen would not survive the first World War. One of his lieutenants, and a fighter ace, Herman Goering, would lend his name and prestige to the fledgling National Socialist party. von Richtofen's son would become a General in the Luftwaffe and be instrumental in its early successes in the second World War. So the Red Baron's generosity towards the beagle seems a little hollow in a historical context, now doesn't it?
In WW1, fighter pilots operated with an amount of 'chivalry' we would consider completely foreign now.
One of the only ways (pre gun-cameras) a pilot could prove that he shot down an enemy was to land next to the wreckage and cut the fallen foe's serial number from the plane. And quite often, they would bury their vanquished opponent.
von Richtofen got what amounted to nearly a "state funeral" by the allies when he was shot down!
@ehurtley Neat fable, but that wasn't going to happen much. The aircraft of the time were hard enough to land and take off, you weren't going to go around landing in random fields, and wreckage could land in deep woods, a swamp, or in a town.
More commonly eyewitnesses in the air and on the ground would comfirm most kills, this was true in WWII as well for backup for cameras that didn't always work or show a final kill.
