Stuka Pilot, Heinz-Georg Wilhelm Migeod, Interviewed.

I found these fascinating interviews while surfing the web. 60 some odd interview films in all, on various subjects related to Dr. Migeod's career as a Stuka pilot in WW2. I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if someone would splice them all together in order so you could sit back without all that clicking and enjoy." So I did.
Here is the original interviewers description. All the work was his:
"I performed this interview at Dr Migeod's house on 31 May 2010 in Somerset West South Africa. Dr Migeod is 92 years old and was a Luftwaffe stuka pilot who saw service in France, BOB, Balkans, Crete and Africa."

It's great hearing the German perspective where he's not walking on eggshells regarding what he recounts and is honest about his feelings. I'd like to see more of these. Even with the Japanese.

[@clicheguevara5282]

I was lucky to have a grandmother and great uncle like this. They were Berliners. They hated the Nazis and were by no means apologists for what happened. However, they also refused to walk on eggshells or act as if they themselves had done anything wrong by simply being German. I learned SO MUCH from talking to them and hearing the other side of the story inspired me to become a lifelong WW2 historian. My dad's father was bombing my mom's mother in Berlin, so as a kid I was VERY interested in how that situation happened in the first place. It fascinated me. ..and I had direct access to all sides of the story. My grandparents were German, British, American, and Italian. As an adult, I worked for 10 years at a Japanese company and live in Hawaii, so I've been able to learn a lot on those fronts too. Primary source history is so fascinating and exciting. It makes me sad that this generation is all but gone.

Great to hear from a German veteran, about his feelings and perceptions of the war and its aftermath. Cant blame him for feeling bitter about the allies handing over his homeland to the Russians, and then expecting him to join the Bundeswehr, to keep the Russians at bay.

i must admit that this story was one of the golden nuggets i found on youtube. when i listen to Heinz-Georg Wilhelm Migeod, his story becomes a kind of real. its like sitting next to him and as he tells his story, it becomes more and more like watching a movie somehow. the story he told was so impressive, he made me realy think a lot. from early on, my favourite thing on was to listen to people like Migeod, but people who are able and willing to tell the german side of the story are rare. someone who wants to know what really happend, should listen very carefully to people like him. Migeod does not behave like these soldiers they showed on german TV over an over again. Migeod seems to be proud, like any other successful soldier. he did what soldiers had to do - to fight and kill. people like him should be treated with respect. it makes me sick to know that german soldiers where treated like criminals, only because they served their country.

The Stuka was one of the best most beautiful plane ever built. I wish there was not a order to search and destroy it. Growing up around 4 to 5 years old my father built 3 war plane models and hung from my bedroom ceiling, one a Zero, one a Spitfire, and one a Stuka in Desert Paint. At that age I did not know anything about planes or what they were, I just loved the look of the Stuka. Later in my teens, growing up in Chicago, one of the 3 Stukas that survived is on display at the Museum of Science and Industry. I went every day for 5 years back in the late 80's to just look at this plane. I would give anything to get a chance to fly in one. Just a beautiful plane that was a battle axe.

Stuka flight training. The instructor starts going over all the bells and whistles. Says the plane is slow, says there is a button to blow the bolts off the landing gear, says there is a lever to engage the “auto pull out” of a dive, in case you black out, there is also siren. So we are looking for short, fat, and old people who really can’t contribute to the war, to fly this. Then the instructor asks if anyone has any questions. My hand goes up. You mean to tell me, this plane is 120 miles per hour slower than all other planes? You mean to tell me, there is a button to remove parts from my plane, while I am flying it? You mean to tell me, I have to pull on a lever before I dive, in case I black out in a plane I am flying? So after all this, your going to sit there and tell me, your looking for short, fat old people because we have no other option to help fight this war, but your going to announce my arrival into battle with a siren in a slow plane that has buttons and levers that allow the plane to take it self apart in flight? Is that correct? My question is, Sir...Where is the button I press that turns me around back to base.

[@redblack8414]

Jeff Wilson, you're right; the brief clips are fascinating, but this is even better. Your explanatory inserts add a lot. Fine job! I could go on and on about aspects of this video (Stuka pilots finding Hurricanes more dangerous than Spitfires, Hans Joachim Marseille coming close to "fragging" his commanding officer, and so forth), but I'll say a word only about the negative comments. I can understand some people's finding it annoying that Migeod isn't apologetic about fighting for Nazi Germany. On the other hand, I don't know. He's an elderly man talking about youthful experiences that must strike even him as almost beyond belief. Perhaps I'm merely saying that I can't help but admire someone who dove at high speed into anti-aircraft fire in skies filled with enemy fighters. I'm thinking of the dedication at the end of the movie, THE MEMPHIS BELLE (1990). The filmmakers dedicated it to (I'm trying to quote, but I'm probably only paraphrasing) "all the young men, whatever their nationality, who flew and fought in history's greatest aerial conflagration."

[@rentaghostokish5628]

Unbelievable, that they let this Gentleman tell his life story without interrupting him, this Interview is an exquisite example of true History, much different than the mainstream Hollywood Propaganda Version 💁‍♀️

the Scottish Sargent who was guarding them as POWs on the train said it best about how to end the war. Probably put the men at ease knowing he is thinking 'we are all in this hell together as pawns of the elite?"

[@stephengardiner9867]

I found this series rather interesting, particularly from his recollections as a POW. One hears very little from them as compared to the tales from returning Allied POW's. After all of these years he still retained a measure of the "master race" arrogance that ended up costing his mother country so much. I did not expect him to be "repentant" insofar as he truly did no more than my own father did. They "answered the call", joined up, fought, killed people and , luckily, survived the war to go on and try to put it behind them. In my younger years, I knew two German veterans of WWII (one from the Wehrmacht and the other from the Luftwaffe). They were not apologetic but they were also not arrogant. They were now Canadians.

[@genericfakename8197]

Regarding the controversy of stukas firing on British sailors, I don't think either the sailors or pilots need to be lying in order for conflicting stories to crop up. A panicked drowning man watching his close friends dying around him isn't in a frame of mind to exactly determine what an airplane is shooting at or what the exact origin of various wounds were.

EthanBeiswanger you are obviously a very ignorant sad little man... maybe you should look into some history before you call every singular German who lived in Germany in the 30’s-40’s a nazi

[@mpk6664]

My grandpa survived the bombing and invasion of Thessalonika( 46:09 ). That was his home, and his entire family was killed. He joined the guerilla fighters and fought until Greece was liberated. After the war, he moved to America, which is where I am now.

[@Jerry-sw8cz]

My Great uncle was executed by NAZIES. I personally find it despicable that s Nazi is allowed to speak on KZbin bragging about the killing.

[@mpk6664]

@@Jerry-sw8cz Get over it. They have stories that future generations need to hear. Everyone involved needs their story told in order for the future to understand what happened. Just because you're offended doesn't make it right to remove something.

[@Jerry-sw8cz]

@@mpk6664 no, to have a Nazi on your program equals being Nazi supporter... Their stories may seem interesting but ... See we had ww2 because he and others like him believed that Mr. Hitler will give them the Germania. The new country and the new world order... And instead of jailing him or even executing him they listened... This Nazi pilot and millions of others... So this Nazi s#ine here had a story to tell because he went on with it. This particular one was captured so he didn't do as much damage as the others... And one more thing... These "poor good soldiers just following orders" with good stories to tell. One of them executed by firing squad my great uncle... So it is in fact you who needs to start using brain... Have great what ever ...

Small mistake French airforce used P-36 and not P-40 in 1940. Also the geballte ladung was an explosive charge and not a molotov cocktail.
