I haven’t seen anything about Richtofen that indicates he would have filled Goering’s role in the Nazi government if he had lived. ............. Iffy history. We could say the same about Udet and Goering had they died in WW I. If a Richthoffen lead the Condor Legion, who knows what Manfred would have done. Iffy History.

You may be right, but I think you have to admit that leading the Condor Legion is a far cry from being one of Hitler's close inner circle. Declaring that Richtofen would have been on e of the most infamous war criminals in history if he had lived is pretty iffy history, too.

Some people are combat pilots and that's what they are...Hartmann is a good example, a guy who served Hitler and NATO. Goering was not just a pilot.
