Ace General

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.พ. 2023
- Adolf Galland, was a famous and influential German Luftwaffe general and flying ace who served throughout the Second World War in Europe. He flew 705 combat missions in the Defence of the Reich. Known for his skill and bravery in the air and his gentlemanly behavior on the ground he was well liked and respected by both friend and foe. He had many disagreements with Göring, over the strategy and tactics of the Luftwaffe fighter force. But despite that he became the youngest general of the German armed forces and the General of the Fighters in 1941. He was dismissed from his post in 1945 after he advocated for Goring's replacement which was a dangerous time for Galland. As a way out of his predicament he was given command of a force of Me 262 fighter jets. Galland became one of the pioneers of tactics in the jet age as he and his men flew fighters against the Allied bombing raids. Galland was also known to have recruited to the jet squadron a young pilot called Franz Stigler. The two men become lifelong friends.

You guys are awesome
Hi
Thank you for so much details
You guys are so amazing I’ve probs watched all your vids
Could we have a video of Alison digby?
Honestly the part about Galland feeling no sense of pride or joy towards killing two pilots was a fascinating look into the human psyche that we don't often hear about. I think the lack of heroic music helped give a raw and sterile feeling that meant I could really understand his emotions. Amazing work as always Yarnhub.
Galland is a fighter, their purpose is to find worthy fights, not killing incapable and untrained people. Any warrior/samurai would feel the same way he felt. Just imagine the Tai Lung meme
fake
Imagine the chivalry between enemy pilots could never ever be replicated with ground forces.
He didn't kill the pilots, he downed their warbirds.
@beefkilla That's not to say ground forces didn't have their own "honor" so to speak, but in the skies it's closer to what you would imagine a "duel" to be since it's just a small number of men and their planes, and whoever is superior in skill or sometimes luck is the one who makes it out of the fight alive. Galland, Franz, and those like them truly were knights of the sky. Only sucked that those who claimed to be "above" them did so in title only, not in honor nor as leaders or even as humans. (Goering and Hitler)
My jaw dropped when you said that Stigler and Galland crossed paths. Thank you for the amazing video!
ikr
Read "A Higher Call."
Same
Not only crossed path but flew together
fake
I got a slight shiver when I heard the name Franz Stigler because I know that Franz is also the one pilot who saved a B-17, thats really cool to know that Stigler was in this story, especially as a Me-262 Pilot!
That dialogue between Göring and Galland was remarkable, the attention to detail of everything there was just bar none some of the best work you guys have ever done. It's always a pleasure to watch your content, I hope everybody at Yarnhub is proud of their astonishing work and knows how much it means to their audience. Some of the stories you guys give life really leave a lasting impression.
Thank you. We're committed to bringing you the best we can on youtube.

@@ambruhzevic you
@@ambruhzevic tf?
Took the words out of my mouth!
Galland was a technical advisor for the 1969 film Battle of Britain and a character in the film was based on him. He became friend with British ace Robert Standford Tuck, who was also serving as technical advisor. Tuck would later become a godfather for one of Galland's sons and two remained friends until Tuck's death in 1987, which greatly affect Galland.
I read than one day someone recognize 3 pilots at a Cafe Galland, Closterman and a third one (British one I think). Question : how can you talk to each other? Answer of one of them : we already have been asked to shoot to each other, you do not want us to hate too!
Recommend checking out “A Higher Call” by Adam Makos. It’s the story of how Luftwaffe pilot Franz Stigler and American pilot Charlie Brown crossed paths and much more. It has a lot of information about the time Franz crossed path with Adolf Galland too, including their time flying Me-262s in the squadron of aces near the end of the war.
Edit: thx for the likes!
It's a wonderful well written book. I could not put it down myself read it in one sitting, then I read it again
Didnt he already do it?
I’m personally a huge fan of the book “A Higher Call.” Another good book, an autobiography that’s an epic story of Midway, is “Never Call Me a Hero” by “Dusty” Kleiss. He was a SBD Dauntless dive-bomber pilot with an extremely interesting story.
Spearhead is another one.
Yep already heard of it thousands of times and it is a incredible story
I don’t know why but hearing Franz Stigler again in a different story feels so weird yet exciting as both Stigler and Galand never boasted about victories and are both respectable men. Just as respectable as the crew behind each YarnHub video because you guys really hit the ball on this one, it is astounding and impressive, please never quit.
We’re committed to bringing the best content we can to youtube
Both are respectable, but we should be mistaken, franz was a major pilot, not sure bout kills
But yeah
fake
@@ambruhzevic how would u know it fake
@@ambruhzevic how exactly do you know?
Your animation is getting better and better! Keep up the amazing work guys. You all should be immensely proud of yourselves for providing videos for one of if not the best history channels, not to mention the animation.
Yeah dude agreed
That "flashback" to the older video at 10:04 really shows the enormous improvements they made to their animations... And funnily enough, that animation in itself amazed me when it came out!
I still remember their first video, what a massive improvement.
A friend's father was a hunter and often went met galland on hunting trips, and i had the honor of meeting him in person. My father also flew BF109 and FW 190.
What a honor!
Galland started out in Spain with the Condor League. That’s where he got his recognizable nose, he hit it on his HUD upon crash landing. I met Gen. Galland twice and enjoyed his stories and I appreciated his long time friendship with Robert Stanford Tuck, whom I also met at the same occasions as my time with Galland.
That’s amazing. I hope you liked the film.
When Galland was promoted to general, he was still only 30 years old which is pretty insane. He was the youngest general in European history since Napoleon.
I think bärenfanger was younger.
I instantly lost it when I heard he was a close friend to Stigler too!
Even after the wars, and battles, there is still much to learn about these legends who wrote their endings in the story. Keep at it Yarnhub, I can't wait to see what else you have lying for us next
Thank you guys for your devotion you put into your work. This was an excellent video.
I know you get this alot but you're animations are remarkable! I haven't seen something like this in TH-cam until now. Thanks for you're effort!
Thank you for featuring one of the best, and surely my favourite of all German WW2 pilots.
Galland was born in my area, the Ruhr. His wider family still owns a pub/restaurant not far from my place, in the historic farmhouse they have held for seven generations. Accidently, Werner Mölders, Galland's rival as a fighter pilot during the Battle Of Britain and his predecessor as General of the Fighters, also was born around here.
Adolf Galland was a dashing figure and often invited to British television programs after the war, amiably chatting with his former RAF adversaries to the delight of the audience. My favourite quote from him, after beeing asked if an earlier introduction of jet fighters would have changed the outcome of the war: "No, it would only have prolonged it, thus costing even more lives." An old warrior grown wise.
His brothers had 17 and around 50 victories to their names when they were killed. The force was strong in that family.
It is a bit misleading to call Franz Stigler a young pilot when talking about the last months of the war. Not only did he have at least two years experience as a fighter pilot and around 27 confirmed air victories under his belt at the time the two met in the newly formed jet fighter squadron. He was also one of the pilots who had still learned flying as a civilian pilot at the Lufthansa before the war. His main responsibility then was delivering fright and passengers safely to their destination; only later did he learn to destroy other aircraft. I can't help thinking that this contributed to the incident you hinted at towards the end of the video and that Franz Stigler is mainly known for today.
Again, thank you all for the hard work and dedication you put into making these beautiful animations. Now and then, I still go back to "No Bullets Fly". Greetings from Germany!
My understanding is that Galland was never a member of the German Workers Party and that he was simply one hell of a good pilot who fought for his country and was as abrasive as all hell when it came to superiors. I don't want to mention those names but I remember reading post war about his invitation to compare the Spitfire and Hurricane fighters against the 109. His evaluation was correct in every way (according to historical data) although I don't know what marks of the aircraft were tested by Galland.
Hello from Ontario, Canada but unfortunately folks still use the "N" word through sheer ignorance and lack of education.
I always wondered about that quote: "Give me an airwing of Spitfires", but you guys gave me the context what I needed for before.
It makes sense, the Spitfire would be more suited for the task Goering wanted.
Literally got chills when you brought back old animation. Really shows how you can be proud of your improved work without putting down, or belittling your previous work.
I have a feeling most creators would feel that "that old style would clash too much and wouldn't be up to our modern quality standards".
It also amazes me how even in the most horrible regime, there's still so many examples of old Germanic chivalry even in WW2. Not just when facing an enemy like with Ziegler, but also when it comes to standing up to your own values and standards against more powerful people, even if you're on the "same side". Not too surprised how someone named Gallant would show the values of being gallant.
I didn't even realize it was their old style. To me, their "old style" is "2d yarn cartoon figures"
They really evolved, I'm only now realizing these faces are super detailed
Ironically enough they could've potentially had exactly the bird they needed for the job. The Avia B. 135 had very similar flight characteristics to the spitfire but when Germany occupied Czechoslovakia they had it's elliptical wings switched out for a pair borrowed off a 109 and concluded that it wasn't good enough to be put into mass production so they had Avia produce 109's instead
`the most horrible regime` ...? you have not ideea what are you talking about! Forget about hollywood fiction, try to talk to people in Germany and learn some real history!
spitfires flying alongside the bombers in formation would obviously have been just as ineffective. The fighter aircraft were equally matched. The quote is British propaganda anyway, decorated by Hollywood.
"the most horrible regime"
*Citation required
I got to meet him at a fighter pilot's symposium in 1990. Along with Johnnie Johnson, Cocky Dundas, Don Kingaby, Hub Zemke, Guenther Rall, and Walter Krupinski, among others. They were ALL remarkable, but Galland walks in, 80-something years old, with a wife half his age on his arm, and a charisma that dominated the room. In a room full of many of the world's greatest aces, He was a damn rock star, and all the other aces knew it, too.
Not only have I noticed a huge improvement with animation quality, but the physics of the planes have gotten SO much better! The way the plans turn and roll are so much more realistic than older videos, I was really shocked when I saw some of the parts in this video with some of the brilliantly put together plane maneuvers, amazing work lads.
One of the best German pilots and a gentleman. A rare breed of man that war seems to bring out.
Wow!
This is (in my opinion) your best video yet! The animation and the production, just astonishing!
I never knew Franz Stigler and him crossed paths and were friends, really cool fact.
Just a little suggestion for a video:
Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the most decorated Stuka pilot of the war.
You have been killing it lately, keep it up!
Cheers
I agree. For Close Air Support (CAS) pilots, he is the exemplar of their craft. His experiences and insight helped Republic Fairchild engineers in their design of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, the famous Warthog.
Related: Hans-Joachim Marseille
Perhaps one of the most underrated, and possibly _the_ best fighter ace in history. Could have easily outscored other fighter Aces if not for his shenanigans early war, and his death.
Two legends crossing each other's paths.
The quality on this is outstanding. The Animations, the Textures. I am so glad that I found this channels a few years ago. Keep it up guys!
My father belonged to Galland's staff as a radio operator. He was 20 years old, and very fast in Morse.
In my 35-year fascination with World War II, Adolf Galland came up multiple times and I really respect that man. He was A Soldier's officer, he was not a Nazi. You did a pretty darn good job in the short video that you put up here, you could fill up an entire hour on that man.
I am from Argentina... and did not know he ended up here. My like as always, I was subscribed already.
Finally the story about Galland, I can recommend his book. "The first and the last" or something like that. That´s just the german name translated. Great pilot, maybe the best an even better than Hartmann
Edit: His response to Göring is one of my favorites of all time. Man had some balls to say something like that
And btw with his Fighter ME262 group there was a running joke, that the requirement to enter this was to have the knights cross because he drafted so many aces to fly in this group
If i remember correctly wasn't the lowest one actually Franz Stigler with like 47 kills ? and the highest ones like Hartmann and Barkhorn with 300 and 352 lmao
German Aces speak is excellent too.
@@nicolas44991 Stigler stole an ME-262 to fly in that group lmao
@@vandansonkar7819Chad stigler wanted to feel jet engine.
I've red it during my childhood, in french. The Book was named "Jusqu'au bout sur nos Messerschmitts".
This is one of the top 5 videos you have made... Shadows, facial expressions, slow motion, clouds, the head movement of the pilots when fighting, the music, the moments of silence... It was amazing. seriously... Thank you for all th effort.
i like how the stories all link up
from the honorable franz stigler to the interactions of another fighter ace erich hartmann
Marcus Snow "Swordsman":"He's the one no doubt! The Ace of Aces!" Adolf Galland is one of my personal favourite German Aces.
There is a book in German that my father gave to me as a child: "Die Ersten und die Letzten" (The first ones and the last ones), which narrates the story of Adolf Gallant. It was an interesting reading that allowed me not only to improve the knowledge of the German language, but also to give a valuable insight in WW2 history.
It's Galland's autobiography. I have the book too, together with the autobiography about Walter Nowotny. Galland was one of the Eyewitnesses of Nowotny's Death in November 1944
Greetings from Bramsche, Germany
In french Gallant’s book title is ”Jusqu'au bout avec nos Messerchmitts" (until the end with ours Messerchmitts). It’s à very interesting perspective about air combat during WW II. And Gallant was a true flying knight.
@@bigbar4be the most german fighter Aces were the Knights of their time. the ace of all aces in the world, Erich ''Bubi'' Hartman with 352 kills got from the western allies the nickname ''Blonde Knight of Germany'' the Soviets called him the ''Black Devil'' because his planes ever hat the black tulip on its noses
That brief scene at 10:06 is just stunning to me, switching between your current style and the one of the early days of the channel...it truly shows how much this channel and everybody involved has grown and evolved. It baffles me that you don't have a million subscribers yet.
Keep up your amazing work. You are truly amazing.
My gf was blown away with the animation in this one. Congrats yarnhub keep it up
man I still love the quality of the videos, makes everything looks real, plus the battles also look insane makes it feel very chaotic which I love
Herr Galand was a pilot first and foremost. The fact that he cared most for his fellow fighter jockeys over fame or position made him a fine man himself.
Rest peacefully, Worthy Adversary.
The animation here is unmatched. I have no clue how you guys continue to improve with each iteration
For anyone not already familiar with it, i'd highly recommend finding the World At War TV series (1973) in which Adolf Galland was interviewed about his time in the Luftwaffe. You can really tell how mixed his feelings are about his participation in the war.
Fantastic video again Yarnhub, these just get better and better!!
I love how the quality of the image has increased over time
I do not want to miss a single episode
Fun Fact: Galland also became close friends with British Pilot whose name was Douglass. The latter of whom had lost his legs in an accident but flew with a pair of artificial legs. Galland and Douglass would also be life-long friends. With Galland even attending his friends funeral.
Both would become technical advisers for the 1969 British war film, The Battle of Britain, having actually fought over the skies of the actual battle. Galland actually had a character in the film based on him as well, Lt Falke, represented with his classic cigars, dashing manners and the "squadron of spitfires" comment.
Douglas Bader was a legless pilot that collided with an Me-109 over France and ditched his legs in his burning Spitfire. Flying with artificial legs is a feat unto itself.
This one for sure is a classic. As always, magnificent work Yarnhub!
If you ever get the chance, read "The First and the Last" by Adolf Galand, from his early days in the ME 109 to the ME 262 jet and the end of the war
This new format of different chapters is so good. Please keep up the great work, it isnt unnoticed!
I absolutely loved that little callback to the older animation about stigler. It’s amazing to see how far the yarnhub team has come
It was striking how good the production got when Goehring's boots were shown as he got off the train...just from the HEFT I knew it had to be Goehring. Fantastic script and visuals.
I couldn't imagine how much effort this would take.
I'm suprised you can make these in a week.
Good job!
We have a team but even so it’s an absolute ton of work. But we’re committed to bringing you the best we can.
THE CALLBACK TO THE EARLIER STYLE YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING
love the attention to detail on the 109s
Damn, the quality is going up faster than a 262!
📈

Went to an air museum today and got a me262 1:72 scale in his camo wanted to learn more about him and you have uploaded a video on him epic
Didn't expect Stigler to make an apperance
Honestly I am completely shocked on how amazing your animations have changed through the years you can really see the amazing expressions now on their faces
Didn´t expect to see stigler in the video, This video was great and the story the same.
I met Galland and Tuck at Santa Monica airport in 1976; both were affable and very friendly, easy for a 17 yr old like me to enjoy their company; I still have pics of me sitting in between both men, as I asked them question after question, both were very patient and understanding with me, I'll never forget their kindness!
These animations have gotten really crazy good
Another episode with real Dogfights vibes. Awesome job here, Yarnhub team!
a very good video and galland one of my fav ww2 aces, brilliantly done!!
Damn this got to be your masterpiece! I haven't watched yet, but I liked already!
The animation the writing everything and i mean everything is just perfect
the animation gets better everytime
That first scene with Goering and Galland had movie level quality and suspense! I hope Yarnhub can make an animated war movie some day!
They are. A collaboration movie with Sabaton titled ''the war to end all wars'' its based on WWI
When I was a boy 50 years ago I used to read books about fighter races from Japan England America and Germany and this was one of the best ones because he was fair and honest
goerings scenes look very cinematic, even for your standards! very impressive
I am so impressed you guys modeled the 109F and E variants so well. Excellent work every time you upload! Hope you do more german stories, we always love them.
weekly dose of quality content here we go!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how amazing the graphics look
Thank you for the amazing content! And congrats for the amazing research, storytelling and animations!
The quality of animation has improved astronomically!!
It's just heartwarming to see this channel grow and perform well..❤
Great vid like ussualy!!! Well done!
Your animations just feel so real, it looks like it was recorded and uploaded real life footage. You deserve way more recognition for your animations.
5:46 this scene is just so great. You guys improved a lot since I started following you, the animations are getting better every single video
Marvelous work, and a great little snippet of Galland's remarkable life. If you ever chose to expand this episode, it would be great to see how he began his career on open-cockpit, ground-attack biplanes, but got a friendly doctor to give him a fake diagnosis of a condition which required he switch to closed-cockpit 109's! Also, his connection to Douglas Bader, and postwar friendship with Johnnie Johnson, would be worth mentioning. Anyway, great stuff!
The effort on this one is noticeable! Bravo, bravo!
As far as I know, these Luftwaffe pilots scored more than 100 kills over western allies: Hans-Joachim Marseille (158 west), Heinz "Pritzl" Bar (124 west, 228 total), Kurt Buhligen (112 west), Adolf "Dolfo" Galland (104 west), Egon "Connie" Mayer (102 west), Werner Schroer (102west, 114 total), and Josef "Pips" Priller (101 west). An astonishing feat indeed considering western allied air force pilots are generally well-trained and highly skilled, in sharp contrast to their soviet counterparts.
man these videos keep getting more and more realistic pretty soon your gonna make movies at this point. ♥️
Fascinating story and so expertly animated
The animation has just gotten so smooth and clean overtime. Great Job!!
Animations been getting really good, wow
Nothing better than getting a birthday present from Yarnhub himself🖤
Happy birthday!
@@Yarnhub Thank you!
Man. That’s amazing! I have read “A Higher Call” but completely missed or forgot the part about Franz’s talks with Galland. A suggestion for a future video (or you might already have one and I missed it) could be the battle for Iwo Jima. I have relatives that fought there and it would be amazing to be able to hear your interpretation and research on it. Keep up the great work!
Yet another amazing and incredible animated video from you guys at Yarnhub.
I didn't realise that Stigler had told Galland about letting the Ye Olde Pub go before the story broke with Charlie Brown. Galland also kept a close friendship with Sir Douglas Bader, and was one of the advisors during the filming of the movie 'The Battle Of Britain'
A few suggestions for a vid would be the Battle Of Taranto Harbour, where the Italian Supermarina was attacked at night by Royal Navy Swordfish torpedo bombers.
The Battle Of Cape Matapan, where a young Prince Philip was mentioned in dispatches.
Operation Pedestal, the 1942 convoy that saved Malta GC
Photo recon pilot Adrian Warburton
Legendary fighter ace George Beurling
Guys, keep up the amazing work and I look forward to the next one from you
The animations just keep getting better and better.
Galland- a real gentleman, a real pilot ace and a real man.
Your videos are absolutely fantastic and as a fighter pilot enthusiast, I think you very much for telling these fantastic tales. Of all sides. Regardless of who they faught for.
The shine on the boots was absolutely breathtaking. Been watching since it was still 2D (but never subscribed, sorry) and I'm happy.
I love the fact that the related story is one of the recommended videos.
I think this is the best video you’ve ever done
The animation is just getting better and better. And the story telling is incredible. Love your channel.
Ooo awesome! I loved reading "A Higher Call" with some of his adventures with Franz Stigler. iirc he visited Stigler once again when he was in Canada (I also just got to the part where you mention this! I'm glad you got all these details about him!). Truly amazing man. We are losing our WW2 vets so fast now 😢
It's also amazing how blind Goering was to the role of fighters when he himself was a fighter pilot during WW1. Pushing for bomber variants of the 262 was one of the biggest mistakes of his career.
Of his visit to Canada, he just went there for the hunting, he bagged a moose there. And asked for Franz Stigler to send the moose's head home.
I met General Galland at the Gathering of Eagles Convention in Las Vegas back in 1985.
Man, i Love this channel. It’s so entertaining!
Please make a video about Franz Stauddegger when he took on 50 T-34 tanks with his single Tiger tank and won.
Seeing his daring attack at the beginning: "Woah, he had balls this guy!"
Seeing he faced Goering, and went up against him: "...This men had STEEL balls!" O.O
Guderian had a series of blazing arguments with Hitler towards the end of the war and was replaced. That took guts as well, not to be a 'yes' man in that regime.
if yarnhub made a ww2 air combat game i would play it
Bruh the closed up shot of Goering and galland is amazing
When you said stigler I was like stigler? Sligler? Didn't he spare a b17 ye olde pub? Yes that's him Franz stigler
I don’t know how you guys do it week after week but thank you all for sharing these stories. And wow has the animation improved over the years. I swear you are out doing major Hollywood films in quality at this point on a much smaller budget. I would love to see your take on a feature length film but no matter what I’ll keep watching anything you guys produce.
Got to admit, the quality is incredible. This animation is so close to the cinematic scenes in War Thunder and Call Of Duty: Vanguard. If you guys have gotten this high quality, I can't wait to see what is next.
This has been the best yarn hub video yet
Bro!!! The animation is AMAZING!!! Do more videos like these!
