Line 19:
* [[Manly Tears]]
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Von Richthofen's reputation was carefully fostered by government propaganda.
* [[Officer and Aa Gentleman]]: the German fighter pilots considered themselves sportsmen, not killers. Von Richthofen leads an unauthorized sortie into British territory in order to drop a wreath on the grave of an enemy pilot. Said pilot is apparently a distant relative, and a schoolmate of one of the other members of the squadron.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: A nurse chastises Von Richthofen for his naive view of the consequences of war.
* [[Putting Onon the Reich]]: The German military really outdoes itself once ''those'' guys come into power, but even in WWI their uniforms were pretty pimp. Of course, the Baron inspired the iconic style of the fighter ace, which foreign aviators eagerly imitated, and eventually came to be universally associated with aviation in general--to include leather gloves, boots, helmets and jackets, jodhpurs, white scarves and [[Steampunk|steam-punky]] goggles.
* [[Token Minority]]: The Jewish German pilot, whose most important role seems to be reassuring everyone that it is okay to like Von Richthofen, because he's not one of ''[[Those Wacky Nazis|those Germans]]''.
* [[Too Cool to Live]]
