Between 1916 and 1918 he shot down 44 enemy planes most of them over the Belgian front. Berthold had the reputation as a ruthless, fearless and above all a very patriotic fighter. His perseverance and bravery made him one of the most famous German pilots ever. Berthold started his career as a soldier with the 3rd Brandenberg Infantry regiment in 1910. He learned to fly at his own expense in 1913. Thus he transferred to the German Air Service when war broke out in August 1914, and over the next two years flew as an Observer on Halberstadt and DFW two seaters with FFA 23, winning the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class. After switching to Fokker Eindeckers later in 1916 with Kek Vaux, Berthold was injured in the first of several crashes in his wartime career in April 1916, by which time he already had 5 victories.
