Re: On the trail of the Red Baron.
Most likely dispersed amongst soldiers/veterans, the items themselves lost and/or if still located somewhere in most cases no doubt with any provenance sadly lost to time.
Re: On the trail of the Red Baron.
I remember one book about Richtofen said that when his family disinterred him to bring his body back home, that they reportedly removed just his skull. The books author dug in the area where he Had been buried and found the original field-made zink plaque from the coffin's lid along with many Bones-which he offered to the family in Germany but were refused by them. He stopped any further digging out of fear that he was digging up an actually still occupied grave.
The book also mentioned that on the stretcher while moving Richtofen's recently deceased body, that a machine gun bullet was found that had fallen from the body(caught up in his heavy flight jacket after passing through?) and that a soldier scooped it up and winked and dropped it in his own pocket. It was never seen again. Quite possibly the soldier who had it was later killed with it still in his pocket and it was simply discarded as nothing of significance. It certainly would have ended the eternal argument of just who actually did kill Richtofen....Roy Brown? Sgt Popkin? Shooter unknown? The historians are still guessing...

Or the second gunman on the grassy knoll. Whatever happened or however it happened, still a great legend.

Duff 'gen i'm afraid William! It's a well known fact that the Red Baron was shot down by this guy........
