Von Richthofen and Brown1971
Reporter:
You started the war as a cavalry officer, yeah?
Baron Manfred von Richthofen:
Yeah.
Reporter:
So, now, how does it feel to fly? To fight in the sky?
Baron Manfred von Richthofen:
My ancestors were Teutonic knights; I've merely exchanged my horse for an airplane.
Reporter:
[laughing] I see, so the flying is just a means to an end?
Baron Manfred von Richthofen:
The flying is wonderful! But it's the hunt that I find most satisfying: the stalking, the chase, and finally the kill. The climax.
Reporter:
Oh, so you enjoy it sir?
Baron Manfred von Richthofen:
What should I say? War is the father of nations. It makes them slaves or it makes them free. Victory brings with it a climax, a sense of fulfillment.
Reporter:
But the danger! Every day, every minute! While you are in the air...
Baron Manfred von Richthofen:
I never think of it. It's like the weather: always there. But when you hunt, you think about your hunting, don't you?
