    ========= No Bullets Fly LYRICS ==========
    From down below an enemy spotted
    So hurry up, rearm and refuel
    But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
    See wounded men, scared to their bone
    Look to the right and then look again
    And see the enemy in the eye
    No bullets fly, spared by his mercy
    Escorted out, out of harms way
    Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
    Brothers, heroes, foes
    Killing machine
    Honour in the skies
    B17
    Flying home
    Killing machine
    Said goodbye to the cross he deserved
    He risked his life two times that day
    To save an unknown enemy
    Escort to safety, out of the killzone
    A short salute, then departed
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    Following a successful air raid on the German city of Bremen, Charlie Brown's American B-17 bomber, ‘Ye Old Pub’, suffered severe damage. When German fighter ace, Franz Stigler, was ordered to shoot it down, he risked his life to escort the bomber to safety instead of attacking.

    The story of the song.;- During ww2, American bombers were bombing Bremen, and a bomber was severely damaged by German fighters. Fighter pilot Franz Stigler, recently rearmed and refueled, caught up with the retreating bomber in his BF109, and could see through the damages the injured crew. Instead of finishing it off, he stayed close to the bomber so that german Anti-Air would not target them. He tried to mouth and gesture for them to fly to Sweden to get aid, but pilot Charlie brown and crew didn't understand. Franz then maintained the escort until they were over open water.
    Franz did this because he considered finishing a damaged plane with the injured crew the same as shooting parachuting pilots, which was (and is) a war crime.
    Charlie Brown 50 years later managed to find Franz and they became friends until Franz's death.

      @@Kanefan701 Even in the interview they did together, Charlie said that seeing the other pilot for the first time was like seeing a long lost brother or family member you haven't seen in years. Because of the German pilot, all members of the B17 plane, the 'Ye Olde Pub', survived the war except one.
      Even without the escort, the crew wouldn't abandon their plane as they flew to the wall of guns waiting for them. They'd have had to leave one of the crew behind on the plane while the other 8 jumped. So there was already honor going on between the Ye Olde Pub's crew not wanting to abandon their crewmate.
      I don't think anyone could top the moment those 10 men had between those two planes.
      It reminds me of how some submariners used to pause for a moment after downing another submarine, because they often realized that could have been them. It shock many to the core how close they came to death.
      The sad reality is that as the war draw to an end, honour was often lost. A lot of Germans abandoned their chivalry to down as many airmen as possible on the other side as they were loosing. Worst bit is most men weren't there out of choice, only 10% of them were nazis and the % of those that didn't want to go to war was almost the same as the number who weren't.

    I will never stress enough how Heroes is my all time favourite album of Sabaton because it brings to light such rare events and acts of heroism that are conveniently overlooked by History books and teachers alike , leading to people having a very basic and simplistic views on conflicts such as WW1 and WW2 , preferring to believe that heroism and cruelty were exclusive to only one or the other side of the Wars .
    Heroism , courage and honour have no nationality , no religion , no gender nor colour , nor ideals .
    Thank you Sabaton for honouring the memories of those forgotten and overlooked Heroes :)

The short stories are mostly there for better understanding of the situations. Also, this story in particular is almost useless to teach in history classes, yes it can be taught as moral understanding of different perspectives but remember, exceptions don't count, only the masses. Instead, these stories are left to media to cover like a film, book, game, or even in this case, a song.

The dramatic pause creates a distinction between Franz Stingler and other members of the German high command who previously stated that Germany would not follow the code of the air.

    Had never heard of Sabaton until reading about Brown & Stigler and the song was mentioned.
    The story is, by the way, typical of airmen and by no means unique, and to an unreconstructed 60s/70s rocker this track is just perfect.
    FYI even in war/battle a plane shooting a parachuting airman is an absolute no-no to a flyer, and Stigler treated this crippled B17 as little better than a parachute case.
    All credit to Stigler and his (much later) friend Brown. Immortals.

    He was a man, who decided that the live of the men in the wounded B-17 were worth to be saved. Despite morning the death of his beloved brother. In the reach of the Iron Cross. Even in the eye of danger, risking his life in fear of being discoverd and sentence to death. Never able to speak about it and always haunted by the thought what could have happend to the B-17 after they departed.
    But for all this he gained something he could never have imagine... a friend... a brother...
