ToniF this is world war one not world war two. Nazi party wasnt even thought of then. In fact during the WW1 Hitler was a corporal in the regular army.

I'm surprised Snoopy wasn't mentioned along with the Royal Guardsmen. 🤗

EccentricVirgo7913, ...... I didn't know this guy was for real. Too many Snoopy stories I guess haha. I love history, so I am pleased to learn that this fella was for real.

Thank you Charles Schultz and Snoopy, I'd have had no clue here without you!

He died at 26. What would you rather have, a long life and obscurity or a short one and everlasting glory? Think James Dean, Shelley, Alexander the Great, Raphael, the list is endless.

Shot down by Australian ground fire and buried by Australian Soldiers who were highly respectful of his talents.

And, probably, the One on Snoopy 's reference! "Ta, ta,ta, . . ." (!?).

WaldoLydeker, neither. I'd prefer a long life filled with adventures shared with lovers & family, feasting on foods & wines from all cultures. I'm living life for here & now, not for some future stranger

GB, the comics strip, Peanuts, had a storyline about Snoopy (dog) fighting the red baron. might have been in a Christmas special.

Wasn't there a character named, "Eddie Rickettyback" in the L'il Abner comic strip?
Wild78

GB
shot down by a dog called Snoopy in WW1, which is why, to this day, they are still called dogfights.
Honestly..

Canadian pilot Arthur Roy Brown is credited with killing Manfred von Richthofen.

Short life! Only 26 when he was killed

I thought the plural of 'aircraft' was 'aircraft' not 'aircrafts', how silly of me.

I'm so happy snoopy gunned him down
Sudip
Wendell Thomas, very well said.
Jean Louise
Snoopy finally gunned him down.

The Red Baron was shot down by Canadian Ace Roy Brown… check Wiki if you care to

Wendell Thomas, Yes definitely, fame is not a good thing at all. In no way shape or form. Those who desire it have no idea what they’re asking for.

WaldoLydeker, you forgot Achilles Peleides
Sheriffe
He was buried in a battle field cemetery with full honours by an Australian regiment and later disinterred and taken to Germany to be buried with his sisters.

WaldoLydeker, I have opted for the long life, since I'm 80. When you're dead you can't enjoy the glory.

I learned this information from the 1960s song "Snoopy and the Red Baron" by the Royal Guardsman.
