Who passed away first, Manfred von Richthofen or Cedric Popkin ?
Cedric Popkin Cedric Bassett Popkin (Born 20 June 1890, died 26 January 1968) is considered the person most likely to have killed German ace Manfred von Richthofen — also known as the "Red Baron" — on 21 April 1918. Popkin was an anti-aircraft (AA) machine gunner with the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF), during World War I.
Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen (10 October 1895 – 12 July 1945) was a German field marshal of the "Luftwaffe" (German Air Force) during the World War II.
