interesting story about one of your american chappies

[JackT]

While I believe Manfred von Richthofen was taken down by an Australian ground gunner, Snoopy courageously herded the dreaded Red Baron into the gunner's range.

Which is kind of bullshit considering the nice Christmas encounter they had shared.

They knew it had to end with one of their deaths.

A followup to their earlier "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron," the song is about how Snoopy had to go out and fight the Red Baron on Christmas Eve and the two enemies set aside their differences for that night (the Baron has Snoopy at his mercy after a long dogfight but doesn't fire possibly due to his respect for Snoopy's prowess at flying). At the end, they share a holiday toast and then Snoopy and the Red Baron fly their separate ways, "each knowing they'd meet on some other day".

Moral of the story: he should have killed Snoopy when he had the chance.

I've been studying German for about 10 minutes on Google Translate so I am a bit of an expert. It would be Echo und der Hasemänner.

Echo und der Hasemänner. It's sounds funny in German! (let alone in English!)


I like the spitefire plane!
