When I was in college and training to be an Army officer, General Galland was invited by the military training staff to speak. I attended the presentation and, after he spoke briefly, one of our training officers asked if there were any questions. My father was an American Army officer and I was born in Austria and later lived in Germany for several years. Because of my background, I had an interest in Germany in general and was somewhat well read in the details of the war in Europe. So I naturally had some questions. I raised my hand, stood and addressed the speaker by calling him "General". The Army military training staff members present looked at each other and appeared to be embarassed by my use of that title. General Galland stood and thanked me for my question and remained standing while answering. After the presentation, I stayed for a few more minutes and was able to shake his hand, thanking him for his visit and talking to us. He impressed me as a gentleman, a professional military man and a patriot that believed in his country.

Adolf Galland......, not only a fighter ace and one of ww2's finest fighter pilots bit moreover a true gentleman and man of values. He was a star of his profession and a well liked and respected officer within the Luftwaffe. What struck me most was his approach to any allied fighter but especially those of an equal level of courage and gallantry such as Douglas Bader his equivalent British opposite who had been shot down. These two became best friends and kept very close contact through their postwar lives. I as a passionate modelmaker have made a replica of Adolfs ME109 E which he flew against Britain. Of course I had to add the gun-sight which he actually really had mounted through he Messerschmids windscreen, and not to forget the added ashtray he also had specially mounted. He was a true Knight and will always remain respected.

Today we see similar situations in Russia, Iran, among the Palestinians and other evil regimes. They are not all bad but don't be fooled by false smiles, crocodiles and sharks 'smile', when they are bad they are very very bad.

Those men remind me of wild west gun slingers, nerves of steel. Nothing but respect from my point of view. A different generation. My dad was on the other side of the equation fighting his way up through Italy, but I'm pretty sure that dad and Galland could have enjoyed a beer together had the occasion arose.

Hitler was like: We have invented a bow and arrow, let's use it like a spear.

Fascinating point at 34mins regarding 'had they delayed the allies western front advance [in context of 262's] , then the Russians wouldve made even more significant advances into Europe from the East.' It speaks to Gallands character, this matter of fact candor and I would say even to how you say, wisdom. From time to time I watch this old stuff and some of these men are intruiging and at times inspiring in their own ways. The bravery is unimaginable.

Another interesting And informative presentation. With more excellent photography footage. Galland was natural pilot. Gifted with being able to hone his skills and experience in 1936 spain.

Great historical documentary. Thank you. I watched a previous documentary years ago when I was doing flight training to be a lowly PPL. He was flying a light aircraft and as he did so he scanned the instruments and the sky around the machine. I remember thinking if that's how a pilot with his particular and peculiar experience does it then I could do worse than to at least try to emulate. This kept my head out of the cockpit more than my instructor impressed upon me and contributed to at least the avoidance of one airprox incident.

Absolutely brilliant documentary! Thank you

Do not fall for the story about Hitler's 1943'th Schnell-Bomber decision delaying combat deployment of ME262! The main problem with ME262 was engine development in an era when Germany faced severe and daily escalating shortages of quality alloys. The turbine of a jet engine is subjected to very high temperatures, easily exceeding 1200C for the entire flight duration. "Normal" stainless steel melting point is around 1400-1500C, while at 1200C its strength is severely compromised, as this temperature is close to the metal's melting point. One way around this is making the blades hollow inside, pumping cooling air from the compressor thru them to keep them cool. I think that is what they actually did on Jumo004 and BMW003. This arrangement severely complicates the construction of the engine. Nothing of those kinds of problems was faced by British jet design teams, who could pick ANY alloy available to the Allies. ME262 problem was Germany's acute lack of precious metals. Not Hitler's decision.

@aeropunk4127

The British Jet designs also went for a centrifugal compressor instead of the theoretrically superior axial compressor. This was because the centrifugal compressor was tried and tested technology from piston engine designs with a consequently lower development & production risk.

@@chriswhite6546 We must remember a very simple thing: hooking up a couple of bombs under the chassis of a fighter is not so difficult. Let's recall what happened in 1940, during BoB: Messerschmitt developed an arrangement for an external fuel drop tank for its new series of Bf109E. I think that was an emergency measure to boost over-the-target endurance time during this battle. It was a really quick fix. Goering decided, that as fighters failed in defending the bombers... let them carry the bombs to England by themselves. Bomb racks were quickly put in place, as they are not so much different mechanically from racks for external fuel tanks. No problem here. And the new creation was called Bf109E4/B. Now, our issue at hand: Engine fuel consumption is strongly dependent on its compression ratio. As Jumo004 was limited to speeds below 6000rpm, mostly, I guess caused by, again, poor quality of both lubricants AND metal alloys available to the 3rd Reich, the actual compression ratio for the 004 probably never exceeded 3-4:1. That means, this engine was a fuel guzzler, and there were 2 of those on each ME262. So, racks for external drop tanks were made available for that aircraft. And again, replacing a couple of fuel tanks under the nose of Me262 with a couple SC250 bombs was quite easy. Do not fall for the bomber adaptation ruining the deployment of that crate in ANY role. Anyway, around 1200 Me262 were, reportedly produced within a year. It's easy to assemble a team of, say, 1-2 engineers and 3-5 technicians, make a couple of 262 chassis available to them, and task them with the adaptation of SC250 racks under the Me262 nose. You will have a solution within 2-5 weeks. Another, and very serious issue here is the Bombsight. How do you bomb a target flying at speeds over 700kmh? Fly slower than that - the Allied piston fighters will eat you alive... that's wat the Schnellbomber idea was all about: avoiding any inconvenient entanglements with enemy fighters and Air Defences. Me262 has no bombardier crew member, its nose is solid and not windowed, like in bombers... the nose is quite long, pilot cannot see the targets he is supposed to bomb. How does he know WHEN to push the bomb release button? I know, that it became a custom among German ex-3rd Reich military to blame it all on Hitler. He did this mistake, he decided that wrong, he was wrong there, he underestimated whatever... They made him the scapegoat for EVERYTHING that happened! Oh, common! We are grown-up people here! He did not make all those mistakes all in his lonesome! German leadership must learn to take responsibility too!

At 37:11 is ME262- “White 3”. On 27APR45, White 3 was at Munich Airport, which was being used by Gallands Unit JV44. That day, a young Austrian pilot named Pirchan was allowed to take White 3 up just to make a few laps around the airfield & then was supposed to just land & be done with it. However not long after he took off & was airborne, both engines of the 262 flamed out & Pirchan ended up crashing around some houses in the area. Upon crashing, his forehead hit the gunsight & cracked his skull open exposing his brain. He was removed from the aircraft by some people that witnessed the crash & they were trying to help him feel comfortable until medical help arrive. Franz Stigler arrived & gave Pirchan some Morphine but unfortunately Pirchan died while Franz was holding on to him. Franz Stigler was really upset as he was the one who initially told Pirchan he could take White 3 up for a few passes around the airfield. Prior to that day, Adolf Galland was piloting White 3, then immediately after landing at Munich field, a bunch of P-47’s showed up & straffed the airfield up a lot and fortunately Galland & White 3 were not hit in the attack.

She owned a aviation art shop that sold all WW II pictures of aircraft. As she was selling these prints, she had Galland there to help sell them. She would not allow him to sign anything but the aircraft prints. After briefly talking with him he looked around and said Ill sign it. She swooped over and took the book from him and handed it back to him saying. if you want his autograph buy a print!. The Bitch!. He whispered to me .

A very interesting documentary from Galland. Many people have said Hitler didn't understand tactics or any form of Defense or Tactical defense.

Good thing Hitler wasn't smart enough to make the ME 262 a fighter. Even if he split the role of the ME 262 as fighters and bombers would have extended the war on the Western Front. Just in a limited roll as fighters, the shot down more bombers and fighters (542) than loses of ME 262 (under 100). 5 to 1. Really, for decimated air force flying with just a handful of experienced pilots and aces, the score tally was phenomenal. Regardless, I'm glad that fighter pilots like Adolf Galland and Gunther Rall survived to tell the stories.

Galland’s account of him hanging his decorations round a clock in his office and having a couple of lights trained on it is both very funny and a telling comment on Goering insulting him and his fellow pilots. A true professional and not a yes man.

I like General Galland great story teller.
