    My dad took me to see this in the theater when I was 6 years old..stupid little kid I was, I had no idea what World War 2 was about, or the politics involved, I just thought the planes were cool as hell. Today, I enjoy the film for entirely different reasons. About this great march: in the context of the film it's the Luftwaffe's theme, but Ron Goodwin said that he wrote it to honor the combatants on both sides.

    A musical composition of absolute genius and talent. As an ex-music teacher, I used this theme to teach both the origins sought from histrocial German marching tunes from WW2 plus the layering of musical composition. At the time, my students hadn't even watched the film, let alone heard this theme. Ron Goodwin was a compositional titan of his time.

    This is the version from the original soundtrack, by Ron Goodwin. I downloaded it from Amazon a couple of years ago. I've checked for you mate, but for some reason it isn't the any more :s
    However Amazon has the CD on sale, so search for Battle of Britain: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] [Enhanced, Original Recording Reissued] (wanted to put the link up but UA-cam won't let me). The tracks on the CD are the one's I downloaded from Amazon.
    Happy listening mate!

    My grandfather was born in Spain and while they were killing each other here 1936 - 1939 the rest of the other countries watched when it was their turn to go to war they forgot about Spain... and left it 50 years ago now they come to have fun... and I thought that we are all waiters and cooks

    great music......soundtracks nowadays are abysmal compare to the great war film scores of the past :) (Where Eagles Dare; The Eagle has Landed; A Bridge Too far etc...)
