British Views Split Over Honoring Richthofen
London May 27 By United Press British opinion is divided over honoring Manfred von Richthofen the Red Baron after his military funeral behind enemy lines. Some critics argue enemies should not be afforded such honors while others note his gallantry and the tradition of burying worthy foes. Richthofen was buried with honors chosen by his foes and the debate recalls past incidents of Germans being accorded wreaths and respect.
