Aces and their pets
Most people know of Moritz, Manfred von Richthofens beloved Great Dane (he was most likely a mutt but MvR swore up and down he was a purebred). After MvRs death Moritz got taken care of by Manfreds old friend Alfred Gerstenberg.

But there are several other pets (primarily dogs) that deserve a mention as well as many of them accompanied their owners to the front.
One of them is Max Immelmanns Great Dane Tyras. Immelmann found him in an animal shelter and his name is technically a pun, as Max named him after the place he got him from (Tierasyl = Tieras = Tyras, which was also the name of Otto von Bismarcks dog). Tyras was very loved, he was regularly sketched by Immelmann and was allowed to sleep on the bed. Tyras most likely stayed with Immelmanns family after his death.

The great Oswald Boelcke also had dogs. Besides horses they were his favourite animals. Shortly before the war broke out he got Ibi, an Airedale Terrier. He left Ibi at home during the war. Missing his loyal companion he got himself a German Shepherd named Wolf.

Rudolf Berthold got gifted a small white terrier by comrades, name unfortunately unknown. But important enough to be included in the Sanke card.

Ernst von Althaus' beloved dog Mousse was with him during the whole war. He seems to be a type of hunting breed. With him in the picture is Otto Bernert with a Jack Russel.

Josef Jacobs also brought his dog Rolf to the front with him.
Tumblr media
Heinrich Gontermanns dog also had the honour of being included in the Sanke card.

Richthofens former flight companion Graf Erich von Holck also had a small dog, who he took with them in the airplane during their patrols over Russia. That tough doggy survived the incident where they flew over a burning town and had to do an emergency landing but then got lost on the way back. Holck apparently was also a cat lover. There are several pictures of pilots (from all countries) with lion cubs, so there seemed to be a trend.
Tumblr media
Speaking of rather curious choices of animal companions, Ernst Udet and his comrades entertained a monkey named Betty. Unfortunately, I can't find the picture right now (does anyone have it?).
Ernst Udet tells the story of his comrade Wilhelm Klinkermann whose dog always waited right at the flight strip until his owner returned. On the day of his death the dog was very nervous and when Klinkermann didn't return, they had to force the dog into the car to take him to his family. He did not want to leave without his owner.

And here some more (I'm not sure if these dogs belong to whom they are pictured with):

Interview-Projekt mit der Soziologin Gabi Althaus
„Der Tod ist die größte Anti-Utopie“, so zitiert Gabi Althaus immer wieder Ernst Bloch. Nun ist die emeritierte Professorin der Freien Universität mit 80 Jahren im August 2018 gestorben. 
Eng verbunden mit dem Philosophenpaar Margherita von Brentano und Jacob Taubes und dem Soziologen Urs Jaeggi war die Marx-, Adorno-, Anders-Kennerin eine engagierte Vermittlerin kritischer Theorie.
In einem über mehrere Tage im Laufe des Jahres 2011 geführten Interview sind an die 10 Stunden Gesprächsmaterial entstanden. Gabi Althaus äußert sich ausführlich zur Biographie, zu den Ereignissen und der Bedeutung von 1968, dem Soziologischen Institut an der FU und zum Technikphilosophen Günther Anders.
Zur Trauerfeier wurde ein Interview-Ausschnitt aufgeführt, der jetzt hier zu sehen ist. An der Fertigstellung und Veröffentlichung des gesamten Interviews wird derzeit gearbeitet.

Ernst von Althaus. An interesting man who (as rumour has it) was very interested in gambling, drinking and womanizing, causing him to be unpopular with some other pilots and command. Started to lose his sight during the war and ended up complely blind.
