GT | They were initailly made of silver - 1 for each kill, but towards the end of the war, when silver was hard to obtain, they were made out of another metal- probably pewter.
They used to be in the Richtofen family home, but when the russians occupied the territory in WW2 they packed them up & sent them back to Russia.
They are probably in a warehouse somewhere. i believe that the Richtofen Family have made an official request for their return - i dont know if they've got them back as yet.

| Hmmm
Very strange this Pour Le Merite (Blue Max). Never saw one with a Crown. The only device that could be added to the PLM was a Oakleaves cluster, as far as I know...

|  cool sqaudron, very cool planes, indeed. But I stay with Albert Ball or Werner Voss. Both had incredible marksmanship and both got into really tough dogfights. Albert Ball is credited with early "in the turn" kills. Voss used his marksmanship to destroy the enemy engine, not to kill the pilot or destroy the entire plane...

Country: | And Voss - So young! Wondered how Ball and Voss' careers would have gone if they survived the war?
