• Clear view of Richthofen's bedroom. Regardless of the room being quite cluttered there is organization to the way the items have been arranged. (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 2, James F. Miller, Aeronaut Books, 2016)
  • View of Richthofen's bedroom in Schweidnitz, purportedly taken in the late 1920s. Along with the sundry serial numbers, rudders, and roundels on display are taxidermic hunting trophies (left wall), the silver victory cups (far wall, center), and a table made of axial propellers (center foreground). Richthofen's bed is at far right. (Peter Kilduff) (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 2, James F. Miller, Aeronaut Books, 2016)
  • Closeup of Richthofen's victory cups and Ehrenbecher, as displayed in his bedroom with famous and oft-published photographs on the wall. Mounted on the lower right corner of the central portrait is the duck feather 'trophy' Kunigunde made for Manfred when he was a boy. (Lancce Bronnenkant) (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 2, James F. Miller, Aeronaut Books, 2016)
  • Another view of Richthofen's bedroom. Engine chandelier is at upper right, with three rudders and what appears to be another taxidermic trophy. The Lewis machine gun above the door is likely from Lanoe Hawker's D.H.2. (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 2, James F. Miller, Aeronaut Books, 2016)
