Prince Eitel, during the Summer of 1915, was traveling across the warfront in Russia with the advancing German military. It was out in a field that the Prince had a chance encounter with Manfred von Richthofen (The Red Baron) who had just crashed with his superior officer, Count Holck. The two men were hiding in a nearby tree line from what they thought was the advancing Russian army and who turned out to be the genadiers, guardsmen, and officers of Prince Eitel.
