Description
part four here-->The Fall of a Legend: Part 4In some accounts, it is noted that the infamous Red Baron muttered something along the lines of I am finished, or I am done in German. He was quickly buried using an old propeller as a headstone with full military honors. Sadly, his plane was literally cut apart for souvenirs and is now spread across multiple museums in Europe.
Let us remember the man and not the "Legend" of the "Red Baron." He is not some old man plastered on the front of a pizza box nor a mysterious figure shooting "Snoopy" (R) down. He was a young boy, close to my age who lost his life in a needless war. I pay my respects to the Von Richthofen family and all of the lives they have lost in both World War One and Two. This life, among many others should not be forgotten or besmirched by history. It should be told, over and over, so we can remember why war is such a horrible thing; it is not chivalrous. The age of the aces is over.
May he Rest in Peace

yup... finishing off with that infamous Fokker quote... for a while it almost seemed like it didn't apply to Manfred. good job on this, it took quite a bit of your time I can tell... it was all well spent... very impacting.
(I wish I could've gotten to my Red Baron commemoration... "important things" got in the way. I'll still have to do it though.)
again, great job!

This is very sad. You executed this comic very well. The way you quoted the Dicta adds to the dread of what's coming. Great job!

AAA
What an emotional comic you have ever made! I see the effort you have put >-< Nice use of the Dicta Boelcke rules and that last Fokker's sentence
The Red Baron would have liked this comic if he was alive
