- By popular demand (believe it or not) here is the sequence of the film where Berlin is bombed, Hitler changes course in the war, and Goerring takes over command of the campaign.
One of my subscribers has informed me that they filmed the Berlin sequence in Spain, and that one of his old houses can actually be seen in the background.
From the movie "The Battle of Britain"

This what happens when the Herr Reichsmarschall is allowed to design his own uniforms.
He preferred a relaxed fit.

@@nirmallyochakraborty1983 So would it be appropriate to call him Herr Schlong Meier.

The city scene was indeed shot in Spain, the 1st time the crowd were smiling too much and it had to be re-shot with the threat that the extras wouldn't get paid if they didn't look scared. It worked. Most of the German aircraft in the film were actually old Spanish Airforce planes.
Avenida libertados, San Sebastián Spain
Really quite interesting
I too was a background performer (extra) on a number of films. A lot of these dummies really thought they would see themselves in the movie. They just didn't get it. You're there to fill the scene, not star in it...
@@kiloechocharlie1342 Those German planes were used during the Spanish civil war. I helped strip the paint off those planes and paint them in preparation for the film. The job was conducted at the Southend, Essex, Airport museum.
To strip the paint, the were no safety measures back then. We used a chemical called, ardrox. One drop on the skin and it burned a hole. No face protection provided, had to make sure we did not get any in our eyes.
I was going to say it looks quite mountainous for Northern France...
I love the Meier quote, but in WWII Georring said that about Ruhr, not Berlin. He took the quote in stride though once in Berlin, as Berlin was getting bombed at the end of the war he was rushed into a shelter, where he met many associates and new people........and he introduced himself as Meier to them.
And German air raid sirens were nicknamed "Meyer Trumpets."
The actual quote said "Reich territory".
Mosquitos bombed a Berlin radio station on the evening he was to give a radio address
I remember this story about a German Air Traffic controller who was trying to direct a British Airways pilot who was coming into Frankfurt for the first time. The controller kept berating the pilot for going to the wrong runway or some such. The pilot replied that it was easy to get lost because the last time he was here he was dropping bombs.
I would love to see the look on that air controllers faced when the pilot said the last time he was there he was dropping bombs. Brilliant absolutely brilliant.
Stupid thing to say, what was his point.
😂
@Jekeiifnrhehej maybe!....maybe not!.....not as tasteless as what the Nazis did tho!....you agree?
Classic comeback
This Hitler actor is outstanding. It took me years to discover that it`s not the original voice.
It does sound like Hitler. Also the silhouette and distant shots. A well-done film (much shot in and around RAF Duxford airfield and museum -- near Cambridge. Well worth a visit.
@@davidahlstrom7533 “He” not “It”.
Wrong translation from 2:09
Hitler says :
"Zwei, oder drei, oder vier tausend... " which means "Two, or three, or four thousand", and not "200, 300..." (two hundred, three hundred...) as described in the subtitles...
and even more, he says "Ein hundert fünfzig, ein hundert achtzig, zwo hundert dreißig, drei hundert fünfzehn und dann vier hundert tausend..." which means "150.000, 180.000, 230.000, 315.000 and then 400.000..." and not "2.000, 3.000, 4.000" as described in the subtitles.
Then, later, "Er kommt" means "He is coming", and not "We are coming"...
I always thought it odd that this particular scene was translated so badly. Even with my rather basic German I could tell.
genau,und ich spreche Deutsch.
and he is talking about kilograms, not individual bombs. The English have a funny thing with their movies and other languages. In the movie Love actually they have someone saying a few words in italian and then say that it is spanish
We don't give a fuck. And you can vote. No need to thank me.
I can't understood abou the word "Meier". What means in german? Please. Thanks for answer.
I love the fact that for it's time (1969) they managed to find and restore all those wonderful aeroplanes. I know the spanish airforce were operating the Heinkels and merlin messerschmitts but to restore all those spits and hurricanes just for a film. I think the historic aviation movement today owes a lot to that film. Also, the music that is played associated with the germans (aces high, etc) deserves to be played very loud - fantastic!
And blow up the hangar at Duxford
@@frostyfrost4094 I've been Duxford and I'm pretty sure the hangar they boew up is now a picnic table area
The film came out a year before I was born. I have watched it many times during my life!
Buchon first flown in 1954 and these planes retired in 1965. They are seriously not that old.
It almost sounds like a clip of an actual Hitler speech, instead of it being done for the movie.
Excellent quality film from the people who went on to make the James Bond movies..
did not know that, but you recognize the handywork hehe.
well, he did better himself, laud bugger hitler was lol
who was the actor who played Hitler in this movie? I read somewhere he had the voice but really didn't look enough like him, thus he was in shadow?
@@orgami100 Actually those responsible for this film were well and truly established in the Bond series by the time BoB was released in September 1969 (four months before the release of On Her Majesty's Secret Service): being producer Harry Saltzman who also made the Harry Palmer trilogy: director Guy Hamilton, title designer Maurice Binder, cinematographer Freddie Young who had worked on You Only Live Twice, and others. I always thought the actor who played Goering reminded me of Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) and the sets of Hitler's headquarters and that of the Luftwaffe had a strong Ken Adam look of them, although he did not work on BoB.
That German sergeant yelling sounded exactly like my grandpa when he was mad lol. I suppose he was one so that could be why.

as Goerring announced NO RAF will fly over Germany a Mosquito was doing just that

the original quotation was given by Resichsmarschall Hermann Göring in a speech to his Luftwaffe in September 1939. Mosquitos entered squadron service on15 November 1941.
@Robo Redneck and the v-1s
It also helped tremendously when Fritz changed his bombing tactics, switching from targeting airfields to bombing cities exclusively -- gave the RAF a chance to catch their breath.
The RAF were playing an attrition strategy. They could easily have moved the planes north but they needed the Luftwaffe to keep attacking so they could be shot down. Britain could make good it's losses in aircraft and most shot down pilots bailed out and were recovered unharmed - to the RAF that meant they'd make roll call the following morning. To the Luftwaffe they became POWs and we're thus lost.
That myth was debunked decades ago.
Yep ,a tragedy for many .First bomb raid over alondon Sept 1940 .My Dad lost 3 sisters and his Mum.

I always thought that those two Luftwaffe pilots looked pretty cheerful for two guys who were about to get their heads handed to them on a plate. Against specific orders, they had bombed London. Certainly, it was by accident and they were off course, but Hitler's orders had been clear.
The British should have given them a medal each, because they changed the course of the Battle Of Britain.

I can't remember who it was, but theres a quote from a high ranking RAF official at the start of the war who after being proposed with plans to firebomb the black forest replied - "Are you aware that is private property? You'll be asking me to bomb Essen next."
It was said by Sir Howard Kingsley Wood who was British secretary of state for air (head of the air ministry) he was of that opinion at the start of the war, and the remark was made about German factories. For the first 11 months of WW2 RAF bomber command efforts were almost completely directed at dropping leaflets on cities asking the German popultion to rise up and overthrow the nazis to avoid any further "unpleasantness".... following on from 8 years of pre-war British and French appeasement while nazi Germany was running at 150% to rearm ready for the coming "rumble". So much for the ridiculous meme of "British war mongers".

@Manfred58 Your right the Hurricane was the work horse of the Battle of Britain. Statistically speaking there were more Hurricanes than Spitefires during the war. Its interesting that in the popular history of WW2, or the mythology as I call it, that the Spitefire instead has been accorded with winning the Battle of Britain than the Hurricane. Without the Hurricane the Spitefire on its own would of been greatly outnumbered by the Lufftwaffa.
Quite correct; the Spitfire was generally better than the Hurricane, but the RAF had more Hurricanes than Spitfires- a 4 to 1 ratio... Spitfires were all metal; only the nose & wings of the Hurricane was metal, while the tail section from cockpit to rudder was wood & fabric. As a result the RAF could build more of them than the Spitfires.
Throughout the Battle of Britain yes there was more Hurricanes than Spitfires, but not during the whole war, after the Battle of Britain, the Hurricane was slowly phased out and used more as an early war fighter-bomber, and The Spitfire became THE British fighter of the Second World War.
That speech though.
It’s described by the American correspondent William Shirer. Shirer’s book on the Third Reich is pretty awful, but his witness testimony to Hitler’s speeches are actually very good.
To an English person Hitler sounds as if he’s ranting. He’s certainly no phrase maker like Churchill. But there is an energy in his speeches that this clip portrays very well.
I remember my brother taking me to see it in 1970 in Wales not long after it was made.
I was born that year (1970). The film came out the previous year, so I didn't see the film until a few years later!
Don't forget the Canadians and other commenwealth pilots as well as the American eagle squadrons

Actually, a long-range recon-bomber seaplane of the French Navy was the first allied aircraft in WW2 to raid Berlin on 7 june 1940
Talk about too little too late.
Hitler's speeches were very mesmerizing (hypnotizing), especially for the willing & the faint-hearted!
Mesmerism requires, above all, a willing audience. People were impressed by Hitler because they wanted to be.
@@Etherdave Same for that awful American politician: the one who made it to the Oval Office in 2016 and who is now facing an eye-watering number of criminal charges.
😵💫
actually during the critical period 1940 British production surpassed German. A foresight error on behalf of German planners.
Great clip btw! Ha Ha "If we lose we deserve to get our asses kicked!"- More like "If we lose you should hang me and replace me with someone competent!"
The Germans could never win no matter what.
A later scene shows a lone HE 111 limping back over the French coast shot to pieces with both engines ablaze, the Germans in the harbour looking visibly shaken after the show of strength flying over to Britain
Imagine if the RAF had Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs at the start of the war. Hitler would have been Katzchen scheissen (shitting kittens)
There were a few mistakes in the translation of the speech. When Hitler said "Er kommt, ER KOMMT!", the translation said "we are coming", which is wrong. It should have said "He is coming".
the "Er" refers to "Germany" the nation in response to the english question "Why aren't the Germans coming" :)
Since the "French" locations were in Spain, maybe the prop 'anti-aircraft battery' on Göring's train was something borrowed from the Spanish armed forces, whose home-made (post-war) "Messerschmitts" and "Heinkels" [ not fully retired until the early '70s] were so vital to the production.
er = it [as well as 'he' , it being 'the future' as in English
One of the great scenes from a great film. Shame about the quality.
50 years ago, this was a very high quality, pre-computers film. I, for once, was ashamed that when they listed the credits, they did not bother to mention Adolf Galland, Douglas Bader and other surviving Battle of Britain aces that provided the technical help on the film. Just blows me away that they received no mention at all. Today (2020's), Galland, Molders, Bader, Malan and so many other pilots are the ones who are remembered, not a producer or a director...

"Meier" from Meierei is German for dairy is a common German surname and was used by Hermann Göring as a term of derision.
From Wikipedia:
"Meir is a Jewish masculine given name and an occasional surname. It means "one who shines" It is often Germanized or Anglicized as Mayer, Meyer, or Myer."
it's a Jewish surname and, obviously, that's why it was used. Who could fail to miss that fact?

@@Ana_crusis Nobody. Everyone gets that this is an antisemitic reference. Even hillbillies in the Ozarks recognise this is an antisemitic reference.

Don't think hard (God forbid!). But think on it.
My father was amused that Goring designed his uniforms in jolly colours and had a train, Brits of his background found that very strange. He always respected German engineering. We should really have been good friends in 1940 but it was not to be.
WW2 was a dark period. But at the same time, it must've been an exciting one for some curious village kid to gaze at a lot of flying planes. we hardly see plane armadas today. the kids of those days were so fortunate.

I like that little detail showing that most of the audience consists of women. This is historically accurate.
Regarding Goering, though, he didn't just say he'd change his name; he also said he'd eat his hat. This led to people snarking at him, "Good day, Heir Meier! How's your hat?"

Germany only ran at half production till suprisingly late into the war. Night shifts were nonexistent in German aircraft factories for example in 1940. The German's should have anticipated the massive tempo of operations. More aircraft and more pilots would have greatly helped their cause.

I helped paint those planes.
It was one of my first jobs after I left school.
To strip the original paint, we used a paint stripper called ardrox. It was deadly stuff and many of us received some nasty burns. One guy was almost blinded.
The job was done at the Southend On Sea aircraft museum.
These planes were used during the Spanish civil war and never saw active service in Germany.
The Spanish planes were all built in Spain after WW2: by an odd coincidence, the plans for the "He111" bomber were handed-over to the Spanish on June 5th,1944 ("D-Day" was next day). Even then ), the "He111" was considered slow and obsolete by the Germans, who wouldn't give Spain the plans for the fast, versatile "Junkers 88", the aircraft that Franco's people were really after.
next, all you experts will be saying "Meier" as in "My store, Meiers"...🤣

Probably because it was the only type availabe during filming of the movie. None of the 109s in this movie are accurate either. They had to use spanish ones.
No punitive tariffs on American gun turrets yet.
You can love Hitler or hate Hitler but you have to say that he could actually speak like no other spoke before. A single German night bomber accidentally dropped their bombs on London strictly forbidden by Hitler. Call me Meier means you can call me mud. Goering was actually a big kid playing with his toys for hours at Karin Hall. He was a fighter pilot during First World War with the Red Baron.
Great orators have moved large groups of people throughout history. Hitler was no different from a Demosthenes, a Caesar, a Napoleon, or a Trump.

@Professor6871 my understanding is that the movie was correct, the Germans dumped bombs by accident in residential areas and Churchill retaliated once. Hitler
held back until the British retaliated once again then all hell broke loose. In retrospect one wonders if Churchill was trying to provoke the Germans into attacking civilian areas to take the heat off of military targets. I suspect that all participants did that.

@DrownedBeliefs A lot of people have offered explanations in the comment section. The most common responses are that it's a common Jewish name, and it's a German phrase that just shows the surety of your statement. Kind of like how English speakers say, "Either this guy's crazy, or my name's Bob." So Goering was basically saying, "You have my word of honor, Berlin will never be bombed."
The band playing when Goering arrives is actually the Luftwaffe marching tune used in the film!!

Goering said that he will be called Meier which means his name is mud. Just because a single German bomber at night accidentally dropped their bombs on London. Absolutely against Hitler's strict rules not to bomb London. Germans thought they were unmercifully bombed by the murderous regime of England. Those 2 guys were punished and eventually sent to the Eastern front later on against the Russian army in 1942 as soldiers.
Tommy Boy didn't like mud.
It was a popular Jewish name. Goerring was making a joke. Sort of like how in English some people say, "This guy's hungry, or my name's Bob."

What is so damn impressive about this film is that non of it is CGI. These are actual planes. Of course, they had to scrounge all over the world to find a lot of them. I think most of the ME109's and Heinkels are actually spanish produced varients, but i'm not sure about that :D

What if Germany had a competent Air Force commander like Dowding?
It's the Aces High march. They play it throughout the movie for the Luftwaffe.

5:17 , "Aufmerksamkeit fett Fick!"
A story I read was that, when making the movie, they wanted the actor playing Goring to "ham it up a bit" to make it more interesting. The director was told in no uncertain terms that if he attempted to turn Goring into a character of fun that every German actor and advisor on the set would quit.
Goring was viewed different from other Nazi officials: a man who could have chosen a better route than Hitler, but sold out his ideals. In many ways, more tragic and contemptable.
But the Göring in this picture is something of a cartoon caricature, whereas the real man was assessed as being quite intelligent, not at all the boastful windbag with uniformitis.
Some of the S.A. people actually thought that Hitler's coming to power would curb the power of the German financiers and vested interests, but they soon realised that it was going to be "more of the same", with those interests calling the shots and with the S.A. kicked into touch as a paramilitary force.
Goering was calculating and ambitious and a real Nazi to the end when he stood trial at Nuremberg. While he was quite corpulent and the very image of a clown he was rather effective as an air commander until the BoB and later American entry into the air war.
@@johnhardman3 ironically the Nazis had the backing of a lot of financiers and old Prussian nobility which feared the communists would take everything from them. So it's really a double sharpened pencil

Question: The two pilots who were being recalled to Berlin; who were they and what happened to them, after Hitler's speech?
They were the pilot and navigator of the Heinkel bomber that had become lost over SE England on their way to bomb the oil tanks at the Thames "shellhaven" oil refinery and instead jettisoned their bombs over south London, which was contrary to Hitler's orders. (Though saying that the Luftwaffe had been bombing RAF fighter stations inside the Greater London boundary and causing hundreds of "collateral deaths" since early August 1940).
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 Yes, I know. I was wondering if 1) That part of the story is true and 2) Whatever happened to them?
In RAF Fighter Command 20% of the pilots flying for Lord Dowding in September 1940 were Poles - without them the Battle of Britain would have been lost.Britain's eternal debt to the Poles.
Complete and utter lie it was not 20% at all, 19% were none British, not Polish, out of 3000 pilots the vast majority were British pilots in The Battle of Britain.
