A discussion in our family about Snoopy RedBaron song elicited a check with Wikipedia. ?.. A famous depiction of Manfred von Richthofen appeared in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles Schulz and was taken up in subsequent television specials as a running gag. Charlie Browns beagle Snoopy frequently daydreams of being a World War I flying ace, piloted his dog house like a Sopwith Camel, and carried a personal grudge against the Red Baron. In spite of his best effort, however, the Baron always shot down Snoopy with little difficulty. References to this story arc inspired songs by The Royal Guardsmen and even a comic strip in Mad Magazine which depicted their confrontations from the Barons point of view.
