Where are Manfred von Richthofen's victory cups?

Answer 1

The exact fate of the cups is a mystery. The Russians raided the von Richthofen home after the war and supposedly took all valuable memorabilia, including the famous victory cups. There is currently an ongoing struggle between the von Richthofen family and the Russian government to have all of his belongings returned, but these negotiations have reached a impasse. Another theory is that the cups were either looted by the Russians after the war or were stolen after the fall of the Soviet Union from the Moscow warehouse they were kept. However, interest in the Red Baron and his life is worldwide, so if this theory is true, at least one of the cups should have surfaced in the West, where all of the money is. To this day, the only cups that have surfaced have been immediately disregarded by most historians as forgeries.
