Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| The Red Baron / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: Von Richthofen himself in the film. While the film portrayed him as a proto-pacifist who instructed his men not to kill enemy pilots, the real Von Richthofen showed no such tendencies, and actually encouraged his men to aim for the pilots of enemy planes, since it was the easiest way of shooting them down. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| The Red Baron / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Von Richthofen refuses to kill pilots if he can settle for crippling the plane. This has mixed consequences: while it earns the same mercy for him and the others, it results in complications later, when he sees a Canadian pilot he refused to kill repeatedly reappear—a skilled fighter who was probably responsible for many German deaths. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| The Red Baron / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: The younger Lothar von Richthofen points out to the Baron that war is about killing the enemy; he is scolded by Manfred when he literally annihilates a British fighter plane that was already trying to escape. This is echoed later by the Canadian pilot the Baron twice shot down. | |

Lanoe Hawker and Roy Brown may count as well. The rest of their enemies are generally all cannon fodder. Well, since it's given that they're some of the most elite pilots in the war, kicking aircraft ass so easily is justified by their skill. | |

Ace Pilot: Practically every pilot in Richthofen's squad. Truth in Television, since the real Red Baron did lead a squadron of aces. Lanoe Hawker and Roy Brown may count as well. The rest of their enemies are generally all cannon fodder.

Manly Tears: Richthofen himself mourns the death of his own pilots. He really did cry seeing the corpse of his fictional Jewish squadmate Sternberg on his wrecked aircraft. Lothar rebukes him by ranting, "A leader cannot afford to mourn!". | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: This version of the Red Baron tells his subordinates that their goal is to shoot down planes, not men. The real Baron was a butcher who instructed his men to kill the rear gunners of 2-seater planes before shooting them down. | |

Blue Blood | |
| The Red Baron / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Blue Blood: The Baron is an aristocrat, and the film makes a point of reminding the viewers that the royal families of the warring European countries are all close relatives. At the beginning, Richtofen buzzes the funeral of an RFC pilot and drops a memorial wreath. The dead man is Winston Clyde Walker, nephew of the Duke of Westchester, and Richtofen's cousin. | |

Officer and a Gentleman | |
| The Red Baron / int_ca895242 | comment |
Officer and a 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. | |

Just Plane Wrong | |
| The Red Baron / int_ce1c73e2 | comment |
Just Plane Wrong: Zigzagged: beautifully rendered CGI images of authentic WWI aircraft that perform in realistic ways — but most of them are from the wrong period of the war. This is especially noticeable with the French and British planes, which are almost all models introduced in the last few months of the war. | |
