April 20, 1915
Today is reletively uneventful. Both sides were recovering from recent attacks so it was quiet here in the trenches. However, above the trenches circling in a, what seems like an endless game of tag, the planes soar and dodge each other, barely avoiding colliding with each other. Down below some have started betting cigarettes on the planes. One plane continues to triumph over the rest. All of us know who he is just by the color of his plane. It is Manfred von Richthofen, otherwise known as der Rote Kampfflieger, the Red Baron. He is famous for his incredible piloting skills and terrific aim. He is the commander of the Flying Circus and his pilots are incredible flyers. The battle in the sky slowly disappears into the distance.

Today dar Rote Kampfflieger was shot down deep in British territory. I've heard that even though the Red Baron, as the British call him, was a great enemy of theirs the British buried him with military honors.
