Generalfeldmarschall Dr.Ing. Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen (left, Chef Luftflotte 4 und Oberbefehlshaber Südost) with King Boris III of Bulgaria (moustached). The picture was taken in August 1943 during the visit of King Boris to Führerhauptquartier "Werwolf" in Vinnitsa, Ukraine. The first meeting between Richthofen and Boris took place in early 1941 when Richthofen moved his units into Bulgaria via Romania. He found the country primitive, and resolved to improve the infrastructure, particularly communications, for the invasion of Yugoslavia. He intended to operate 120 aircraft from Bulgarian airfields and moved them into place on 1 March 1941. While preparations were taking place he indulged in hunting and horse riding expeditions as a guest of the Bulgarian Royal Family. With Boris III of Bulgaria, he discussed dive-bombing techniques and the Corps' new aircraft, such as the Junkers Ju 88.Source :
