“The picture shows Rittmeister von Richthofen with his dog Moritz and squadron commander Karl Bodenschatz allegedly on 21st April shortly before Richthofen’s last take-off. The book “Richthofen- Flieger” by Richard Wenzel describes the scene in which comrades tied a brake block to the dog’s tail (as Richthofen had teased them beforehand). Other sources claim this at Lechelle, with Lieutenant Erich Lowenhardt.”
