de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
Manfred
Albrecth Freiherr von Richtofen, better known as “The Red Baron” was a
German pilot and soldier during World War I. He is amongst the greatest
was pilots in History! He is considered the top ace of World War I since
he won 80 air combat victories!
The Red Baron was shot down and killed near Amiens, France on 1918. And
even though there are many theories about his death and last combat one
thing is surely known: His enemies held a great funeral ceremony for
him! He was buried at a cemetery at a village near Amiens, and six
officers served as pallbearers, and a guard of honor from the squadron’s
other ranks fired a salute.
In one of his memorial wreaths someone even wrote “To our Gallant, and Worthy Foe”!
