Regardless of who did it, I happened to be on a trip in the 7X over to Frankfurt earlier this year and managed to find his grave:

I have read from various sources that he has been moved a few times and if I remember correctly in the last move all they had was his skull
Can anyone confirm or add to this

Sorry not trying to morbid

Edite note :

Researching further , I found accounts from his Brother Bolko who says the entire remains were recovered

I am being picky, but why is the title "the infamous Red Baron"?
I haven't read any negatives about von Richtofen, except that he was a ruthlessly efficient destroyer of allied airmen and planes.
Is it as simple as him flying for the wrong side nearly 100 years ago or is there another story?

Well That's it! From looking at the pic. of the tripe's seat, he was NOT ONLY SHOT form the lower right side, BUT, WAS ALSO STABED IN THE BACK! Thank you ALL for a great thread! Believe me, my e-mail is : Triplane103@hotmail.com Now let's start looking for that Aussie Bearcat that I've always heard about....

LOL
Actually , I have seen the seat in person ( it's about 1 hr from me)
The holes that you can see in the middle of the back area are from what is most likely an attachment location for a shoulder harness They are man made and in a perfect line.
There are no bullet holes in it anywhere
