A badass and a gentleman!

Note to self, don’t go to war against the three biggest most powerful nations in the world

This is absolutely incredible footage and interview. What a man and a gentleman.

😎👍

I wish there could be a movie on him. A legend.

Amazing mistake, out of 1400 ME 262 produced only a few of them were used by germans as a fighter plane. Hitler had a modern fighter jet flown before his eyes but he saw a bomber. How not losing a war being so stupid

Read his book, The Blonde Knight of Germany. Fantastic read and shows how his one true love (Ushi) motivated him through 10 years in wrongful Soviet captivity.

What impressed me is the fact, that he fought in the East, West, and the South. One might say, it was easier in the East against the Russians, but he had equal success against the Western forces. He was just an incredible fighter pilot.

Being a fellow anglo saxon Did help as opposed to the Air war in the far east which Didn't have the same chivalry!

Thanx for this Documentary! Adolf Galland humble gentleman, ww2 Hero.

TRaducirlo al español

Some more thing about chivalry: Flying with 1000 bombers at night with the designated goal to set an entire city ablaze to terrorize the population into submission is truly the most chivalrous thing you can expect from the Anglo's

Der Spatz

It's too bad you don't have any videos of the German ace Max Hellmuth ostermann.

How many working class boys with talent were pushed into the trenches and not the cockpit? 🤔

Danke Schoen 🤌🤌👍👍 thnx

Bedienung Bodenplatte.

Hugh haliday just shut up please ....

If the stupid Adolf Hitler had listened to Galland and sent the finished Me262 planes into battle, we would be living in a completely different world now. The stupid Hitler insisted on jet bombers instead of the M262 and came up with the project in late 1944 when all resources were gone. You can't trust a corporal for big wars, especially if he's stupid.

He killed people Awful human

Bravatto !!!

They don't make men like him anymore

Couldn't quite make it out but it seemed he thought that killing prisoners in camps didn't make much sense from a utility standpoint as they're better used for work. He looked unaware that it actually went on did he not?

Adolfas. Galand

Sad this interviewer is a closet nazi and do such a bad interview. but still thanks for this, but i have downloaded this and gonna reupload it without the nazifanboying and denying of terrible things lol!

What dump questions

9:20 when the six sense from an aircraft sound passing nearby kicks back in

Thank you so much for providing translated subtitles in German I couldn't have understanded him otherwise

Dünyanın en iyisi bu adam

Great li'l series, though I would've appreciated had Part Three just stuck with the [later] exploits of Galland, showcasing a more in-depth conclusive timeline into not only amongst _his_ comrades during his brief tenure with JV 44, but as well, how his fame after the war gathered momentum thereafter, towards becoming one of the most acclaimed living legends in the recent world of aviation.

A man with lots of spine and character - during his time in the Luftwaffe, as Soviet prisoner of war as well as officer with the reconstituted German Air Force. He was never one going with the stream, he stood up for his principles and was ready to take the the consequences. Respect "Bubi"! Thanks for the video!

А говорят , что курить вредно !😁

Was ne Pfeife dieser Fragensteller

He was a Nazi there to enslave us like all of them. What he would have done had they won the war one shudders to think. I do not subscribe to this we are all friends now and treating it as if it was a great sporting event. He did treat Bader well ensuring that his tin legs were parachuted in, but being Jewish, I can never feel an affinity with these people. They all got off far too lightly for what happened.

How absolutely fascinating, to actually hear Herr Galland, tell his true observations and blunt perspective of how things truly were 👍

Jaeger 🦅 Meister

The first and perhaps only combat pilot to have a cigar lighter and a holder installed in a combat aircraft ( his ME 109). I always wondered if he moved them over to his ME 262....

My hun

. When Galland saw how badly burned Steinhoff was he requested his friend be allowed to die. He pulled through, his facial reconstruction was finalised in England, where the like of Archie McEndoe and the Guinea Pig Club had pioneered facial reconstruction. He finally got his eyelids back some years after the war.

Ich habe sein Buch "Die Ersten und die Letzten" 1972 geschenkt bekommen. Er war wie Marseille Hugenotte. Fliegen lernte er auf der Wasserkuppe in Hessen. 👍👍👍

As Gunther (Rall) always said, we (the germans) weren't better pilots than the allies, we just had more targets. So no need for inferiority complexes here.

Imagine Your Flight Instructor is Major Erich Hartmann q

I bet this guy pulled more ass than a toilet seat back in his day

Imagine rocking up to a flying school in West Berlin in the 70s and being introduced to your flight instructor, Erich Hartmann. Today's lesson is the boom and zoom.

Great pilot and gentleman why the interview had to gravitate to the concentration camps makes little sense these young German pilots were fighting for their country no different than any 18 year old and had no clue on that issue.

Cool guy - amazing !

Very interesting

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.

The way Bader’s last flight ended up is intriguing. If a German aircraft had collided with him and torn off the tail unit, that aircraft’s propeller would have been badly bent and damaged the engine or caused it to be turned off. The pilot would have either baled out or would have glided down to a crash landing ( as Galland had had to do once) That aircraft would have shown up in German losses that day. Since there was no report of this, this must have been “friendly fire” both by process of elimination or as evidence shows in the interview. Galland behaved with typical generosity to Bader as he did a bit later to Bob Stanford Tuck. These bombing raids on France were of questionable value as any pilots who bailed out, ended up in POW camps. In the Battle of Britain , they had the chance to fight another day.
