He served with Germany’s Condor Legion in the Spanish Civil War in 1937-38, flying several hundred missions. Galland held a staff post when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, but he went on to serve in a fighter group during the campaign against France in 1940 and led a fighter squadron during the Battle of Britain, by the end of which he had destroyed about 100 enemy planes. In November 1941 he was promoted to the post of commander of the Luftwaffe’s Fighter Arm, and a year later he was promoted to major general, becoming at age 30 the youngest general in the German armed forces. Forgotten History hosted by Colin Heaton.
Really well done presentation. Professional throughout. Enjoyed it immensely...Press On!
Thank you. We appreciate you watching!
We appreciate your comment, thanks.
Roger, always great watching your videos! Superb throughout!
@@rox6385 We appreciate it
A legend and true gentleman. Lest we forget the brave and chivalrous on both sides.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Agreed, he was a good man
It was a highlight of my life meeting General Galland at a cocktail party and discussing fighter tactics and favorite airplanes. A true gentleman. He signed 2 of my books and they are treasures in my library now. A great man. Rest in peace my friend. Horrido!
Thank you for an excellent presentation on Galland. He had an amazing kill score during the Battle of Britain against the best pilots flying Hurricanes and Spitfires. Had he not been grounded, this kill rate, over the course of the War, would have far exceeded that of Eric Hartmann.
Thanks for watching.
Galland was half blind after his first crash (multiple skull fractures and nose ). To pass the eye test in order to fly , he learnt by heart the letter table onwards and back wards !!!
He loved telling that story, he could see, but blurred vision due to the powdered glass.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL I have read his book. I am very skeptical about some Galland's claims. These soldiers are not very faithfull to the truth.
@@antoinemozart243 Actually Galland underclaimed victories, he reported a lot of damaged. he also never got into a dispute over a kill. If he and another pilot fired on an enemy aircraft, he always gave the victory to the other man. His wingman Gerd Schoepfel had a few of his kills shared with Galland, and Galland gave him the kills. Germans did not share half or partial victories.
@@colinheaton4902 Interesting factoid
@@antoinemozart243 Are you judging others by yourself?
My father moved Dolittle here in Monterey California as military contractor, after my father helped himmovingvthe his things Dolittle asked my father to meet him down stairs, so my dad mwet him down stairs,he give my father his second squadron jaket of the 509th black Jacks flying tiger jacket to him now he passed it to me i still have it this day 2022.
Wow, that's awesome!
That is absolutely amazing Ryan! Keep that jacket safe and well preserved. You own a bona-fide piece of history for sure!
Definitely, a treasured keepsake
Let me know if you decide to throw it on Ebay
Dolittle is a great patriot and hero to all of us !
His name should be Doalot and not Dolittle !
Was it the “Boy named Sue” trigger ?
gen. Galland was one of the best fighter pilot ever, beside he was the youngest general of fighters, great man and so honorable !!
Galland also had a great sense of humor, and I liked him.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL thats right!! :D i saw many interviews with him and he was really outstanding person!! :D
He was very gracious if you were with him, at his home he was just a great guy
@@colinheaton4902 i just thought so:)) :D i can only jeleous people who know him personaly ;) i read ur book about him neither :D it was just fascinating story !! Great work mr Colin, it was just real pleasure to reading !!
@@karolinak3258 Glad you liked it.
This was an excellent video. Adolph Galland wrote an autobiography called The First and the Last. It is a fascinating read, and in it he outlines the planning behind the Channel Dash. In this book you get a real glimpse into his brilliant mind, as well as a ton of anecdotes such as the one about his shooting down two British fighters on his way to a lobster dinner in Normandy. --Old Guy
I read the red covered book "the German aces speak" as well as black covered "the German aces speak II". Very interesting and highly recommendable. Thanks Mr. Heaton for this infomative video.
We thank you very much.
Appreciated.
Very professional, I like how respectful you are with Germans soldiers.
Thank you. We respect all honorable warriors, no matter who they fought for.
Watching a POV of Galland many years after the war flying his own Beechcraft V Tail along the coast of Normandy pointing out various points of interest to his passengers his left hand on the joystick his right hand pointing at the landmark all while grasping his trademark cigar is absolutely priceless ! Well worth watching !
Thanks for watching
One of my Heroes!! I could hardly wait for this 1!! Thanks Sir!!
Thanks for watching, Ricardo!
Galland was one of the greats. See his full interview in The German Aces Speak.
I studied War History and particularly WW2 history for half a century. I also taught it in a military academy, and quiet frankly this is by far, the best american war channel I ve ever seen !! Many congrats !!
Thank you kindly
Colin, just another brilliant, well researched presentation of such an amazing human being that happened to be a fighter pilot for Germany in the greatest battle that man has ever seen, WW2. Judging by the comments, your channel ( and deservedly so ) will go from strength to strength.
We thank you, we hope people find these informative.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
This is a great video, Thank You! It was neat seeing the pictures of Galland along with the video clips. Seeing him without a cover was definitely different, the pictures of him in the book “ Higher Call” about Franz Stigler & Charlie Brown, he always had one on, although sometimes not always the same one. The book briefly mentioned that Galland had traveled to Canada to visit Stigler, and even went on a hunting trip & bagged a moose. It was stated in the book that Galland & Stigler talked on the phone once a week until Galland passed away in 1996.
That is correct. Galland stayed in constant contact with his former fighter pilots all the time, for the most part.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL By the way, has the reason Galland put the Mickey Mouse on his Aircraft ever been know by anyone, and the particular way it was imposed on there, with each of its hands holding what looks like a pistol or something similar? Thank you in advance for your response, I appreciate it!
He looked like Errol Flynn, He had Hollywood looks and the charisma to match.
@@Jgasporrap In his later years he also resembled Broderick Crawford, from the old series “Highway Patrol”, which was about the California Highway Patrol in the later 1950’s. Except Crawford talked so fast & mumbled sometimes it wasn’t always possible to understand what he was saying. And Crawford liked cigars as well!
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL At the 3:06 mark, it shows Galland in a 109, there’s the number 100 with a word over top of it. Is this an indicator for the ground crew to use at least 100 Octane fuel in the aircraft? And Gallands trademark Mickey Mouse he always had on his Aircraft is missing, so maybe this was a temporary replacement 109 or even a newer one that he hasn’t got around to putting it on there yet. Also the line & arrow line on the side is an indication of the pilots rank as well? Thank You I greatly appreciate your knowledge on the Pilots & Aircraft of the WW II German Air Force!
That was really good to hear about a ww2 German ace being treated with respect from the United States and United Kingdom very interesting to know
Almost all of them were welcomed. The former pilots of all the nations set aside the war when it was over.
Enjoyed this video and its indepth look at one of Germanies top fighter Ace. Showing how he was respected by both his countrymen and those who fought against him. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
Thank you, Thomas!
Agreed.
Colin, I have read a number of your books and enjoy them very much. I'm a geezer now at age 66, and after losing everything, books, a record collection that went back to the 1960's, I need to read to keep from losing my marbles. Thanks again!
Thank you for your patronage Brian. I really appreciate it
great review. He is also who helped rebuilt the Luftwaffe after world war II but also put an ending to the carreer of the f104 startfighter in the Luftwaffe.
Galland did not have a lot to do with the post war Luftwaffe, as he was hired to build the Argentine Air Force under Juan Peron, and he never rejoined the German military after the war, for many reasons. he and his long time wingman in JG-26 Gerhard Schoepfel started a flying business near Bonn. Galland had a twin Beech Bonanza that he used to fly for years. See Colin's interview with him in "The German Aces Speak Vol. 1". Thanks for watching.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL thanks for the precision
Thanks. I really enjoyed how you gave me some extra insights into Adolf Galland's struggle to be human within the crazy decisions made by people above him. I also liked your different approach, because I could see your emotion & honesty in your presentation of him, a man who shouldn't have been caught up in war (like millions of others). Thanks GAZ (Melbourne/Australia)
Enjoyed the presentation………fantastic as always!
Thank you, Wayne!
I appreciate your comment, glad you liked it.
those small infos and trivias are very much appreciated, it paints the whole picture of various situations at that time. tnx
Thanks for watching
Just subscribed. I' m very impressed with the content and great photos. I ' m an ex Navy pilot and model builder and your posts are great info sources.
Thanks for watching. We have a few on pilots.
Great video!
Thanks!
Very interesting! I was gifted a book, it’s Galland’s story and…he autographed it. How cool is that!
Awesome. Thanks for watching
What a wonderful presentation. Every interview I ever saw with Galland left me feeling uplifted, would love to have met him. There is a marvellous quote which I think is attributed to Galland; when asked why he and Bob Stanford-Tuck didn't hate each other, the reply was, "We have already been asked to shoot at each other, do you want us to hate each other too?"....or similar wording to that effect.
Thanks for watching.
Excellent video full of information and delivered succinctly
Much appreciated!
Currently reading the book a Higher Call, wonderful book. Galland and his men, especially JG44 Squadron were men of honour. We salute you!
Thank you Colin for your channel content ✌🏻🇺🇸
Guys like you, Dr. Felton, History Guy, and maybe another couple UA-camrs I know of make some great no-nonsense history videos while avoiding showmanship and anti-intellectual drivel. Thank you! I just subscribed.
Wow, thanks!
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL This channel is much more objective than the Felton one
I know the Adolf Galland's story for his book "The first and the last"
Great book
I read The First and the Last also. It seems this video includes information that wasn't in the book. I learned a few more things - thanks. Seems like most commenters and people who knew him have a favorable impression of Galland.
@@JeffsAirplaneCabinet He was highly respected by his former enemies. He and Gen. James H. Doolittle, whom I also interviewed were great friends.
Brilliant video! I have to quibble a little; Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were not pocket battleships (or Deutschland-class panzerschiffs); they were a class of their own. Some call them battlecruisers but they were really somewhat under-gunned battleships.
Hitler classified them that way, but then again, he was a landsman
In January 1944 it was the P51B/C models ranging deep into German air space that destroyed Luftwaffe fighter effectiveness so decisively that the Luftwaffe made no real appearance during the D-Day landings in June 1944. The bubble canopy P51D/K did not arrive in numbers until well after D-Day.
The first units received the new and modified D in April, but the B and C models were the predominant variants until that time. The RAF used them also but adopted the Malcomb Hood bubble canopy later improved upon with the D model as well as changing from Allison to Rolls-Merlin power plants. Thanks for watching.
A nice story, thanks for telling it.
Our pleasure!
Very interesting facts about Galland. Toward the end of the war, he commanded the Squadron of Experts, which all flew the Me-262 jets. This is well documented in "A Higher Call", a fascinating account, written by Adam Makos, of Charley Brown and Luftwaffe Ace Franz Steigel. Galland , apparently, was not a hard core Nazi, and was distrustful of "political officers" who were assigned to his command, to spy on and report any "suspicious anti-Nazi activities", but he was a loyal German, much like Rommel. He was truly a skilled pilot, a real gentleman, and earned the respect of his enemies, again, much like Rommel. Great video.
Colon is friends with Adam Makos, proof read the manuscript, gave him all the material on Johannes Steinhoff who was also a friend. Colin knew all the great German aces. See his two books, "The German Aces Speak in two volumes, as well as his "The Star of Africa" and "The Me-262 Stormbird" all have interviews.Thanks for watching.
It’s very revealing of Galland to call Doolittle his friend, that his tactic of “free chase” for fighters cost him a lot of pilots and that Doolittle did right as a General . This sounds typical of Galland’s honesty which shows through this documentary.
nicely done.
Thank you! Cheers!
We appreciate it
Wow. Great video!! He was a Legend!
He had honor which is in short supply.
Agreed, see his participation in our video "Saviors of Buchenwald". Thanks for watching.
I do love Galland. Such great stories, and I laugh so hard every time referred to Goering in his stories as the Fat One...lol like I've said before, I do admire these pilots, especially Galland. Dogfighting with a basket of lobsters was it?, behind the cockpit is classic Galland.
Yes, Galland was on his way to Theo Osterkamp's birthday party when he was engaged.
Thank you, do you know the story of him stealing a ride in a Bichon 109 during the filming of Battle of Britain? You know everything that's why I love your channel ❤️
We appreciate it, thanks
Legend
Hero
R.I.P.
Agreed. Thanks for the comment.
He was still a Nazi and swore the oath to Hitler.
Those who fond of WWII aviation here in Hungary also speaks with most respectfully about this great man. One of my friends father was an airliner pilot and he once met Adolf Galland. Rarely happens in life to meet a real legend.
True. Colin knew Galland and dozens of the Luftwaffe aces. See Galland's interview (and others) in some of his books, "The German Aces Speak" volumes 1 and 2. Thanks for watching.
Legend!
Yes. Thanks for watching.
Whoa! Another Excellent video! Adolph Galland is mentioned quite a bit in the book, A Higher Call. He seemed a real decent human being. Thinking of the Spanish Civil War, I always wish both sides could have lost! 🤣
Nobility is always respected by noble men regardless of the combative nations..
Indeed. Thanks for watching
Galland was galliant !
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
I liked him a lot
Well said!
Agreed
Molders died I believe different than is what is said in this video. He crashed into a smoke stack in the Battle of Britain.
Moelders died in a He-111 crash in November 1941 when it crashed bringing him from Russia to attend Ernst Udet's funeral. Most of the passengers survived, but Moelders died becasue he was ejected through the fuselage, had was not strapped in.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Correct.
The youngest general in Europe since Napoleon.
You maybe right. I'd have to do some research.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL yes at the age of 30 he spoke German, French English ,Spanish and married to a countess.
Dietrich Pelz was younger, but a major general.
Actually Dietrich Pelz was slightly younger than Galland.
he was so charismatic and so good, im sure he deserved !!
I was born in Argentina (though I now live in Australia) and as a teenager I tried to join the Argentinian airforce. I was interested to learn about Galland and his involvement with Juan Perón! I need to learn more!
Thanks for watching
Colin wrote a few books, with interviews he conducted with many German pilots, including Galland. Get "The German Aces Speak" (volume 1), where Galland explained his time in Argentia. Galland's autobiography "The First and the Last" also cover that period.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL on the contrary, thank you for your excellent video and the amount of information was truely impressive!
Thanks very much.
Met him long time ago when my dad introduced him to me. Old Boys from Legion Condor in an Officers Mess.
Would like to post a pic but I dont know how
Thanks for such a comprehensive video. I'm Russian and I really like an aviation, especially examples of the Second World War with their Aces, since I was flying for more than 4.000 hours in one video game and now I prefer to read memoirs and watch videos like that.
Once I'll get a job offer and move to Germany my aim will be to visit different aviation museums there, since they have 20+ of them.
I've just subscribed and will be glad to watch more videos when I'll have free time.
Have a great day and don't forget to check your six :)
Best wishes, Anton.
an excelent video, just a little corretion: Scharnhors and Gneisenau , battlecruisers not pocket battleships
That P51 Mustang was a pretty plane.
THANK-YOU SIR, FOR TEACHING US ABOUT PRECIOUS, IMPORTANT, HISTORY !!!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Germany had the most successful aces of WW2. Galland, Erich Hartmann, and Hans Ulrich-Rudel
107 Germans score 100 or more victories, true.
and Hans - Joachim Marseille he was inceadible, he shot 17 airplanes in one day, gen Galland called him virtuoso and told he was the best
@@karolinak3258 Get Colin's book, The Star of Africa on Amazon.com. We wrote the script for the film, hoping to close the deal.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL i have this book !! :D really GREAT ONE !! :D
It is a good one, the interviews with Marseille's friends and comrades really help tell his story.
Wish I could have e met him
Honorable man.
I would like to suggest you do a program on Robert Stanford Tuck and George Beurling
Colin knew Tuck, and both men would be great shows. Thanks for watching.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Subscribed and very much enjoy your content. You have and excellent channel all the best cheers. I read Luck Tuck's book back in the 80's you know he and Adolf Galland became good friends after the war
5:27, Neither Schornhorst nor Gneisenau was a pocket battleship.
That was how they were classified by the British at that time, an error agreed. Technically Scharnhorst was a German capital ship, alternatively described as a battleship or battlecruiser. Gneisenau was her sistership.
Do a video on Barkhorn, the eyes of death!
Great idea. Thanks for the comment.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL My great Unc was a WW1 Ace for Germany, Emil Meinecke. I love all the WW2 pilots! Many are unsung, Barkhorn had 300 confirmed kills. He was 2nd to Eric Hartmann who never even lost a wing-man. But Barkhorn in my amateur opinion had balls of steel and took risks which Hartman did not do. Both survived but Hartman was captured by the Russians so he had a hard time. Heck man both deserve a video, or make one about the top five German aces. I'm not telling you what to do bro or how to run your channel just telling you what I would like to see lol : ). My fascination with these men and this era has been life long. Thank you for your work! I appreciate it a lot!
You know who the greatest pilot who ever lived was right? Ernst Udet. He could pick up a handkerchief on the ground with the tip of the wing of his plane while airborne!!! I've known this fact for many decades and it still amazes me. He also advised hitler to WAIT for the me262. if hitler had done so, the entire world would be speaking German today. Thank God hitler didn't heed Udet.
@@A_Chicago_Man Thanks for the suggestion, we have a long one on Hans-Joachim Marseille, and US pilot Eugene Bullard
Many Germans were very chivalrious which was the opposite of what hollywood has portrayed.
Agree
I very much admire Galland he was no 'yes man' to Goering. He, Marseille and Hartman are my all time favourite Luftwaffe aces.
Who? “Hartman?”......any chance you are referring to Erich HartmanN”. ?
@@6686L No I meant Kim Hartman from 'Allo Allo'.
@@sorvad99 no problem. After all. This is the Internet........where literacy and precision of speech are not required.
Did you ever cover Erich Hartmann? I’m not positive but he might be a relative of mine. My family came from the same region of Germany as him.
Yes, but his time in the Gulag. Not his exploits as a pilot.
This is the commonality of humanity.
Thanks for watching.
I have a good recommendation for anyone with a genuine interest in the history of Adolf Galland and the German fighter pilots. And this is a book about the history of German fighter pilots and the biography of Adolf Galland which he wrote himself. This book is entitled: The First and the Last. Glory and downfall of the German fighter pilots.” Written by Adolf Galland. Unfortunately, this book is only available in German. Mfg. Magnus
Thanks for watching, but you can also get "Fighter General" by Ray Toliver and Trevor Constable, and also see Galland's interview with others in The German Aces Speak, there are two volumes.
If anyone hasn't read Adolf Galland's autobiography I'd highly recommend it.
Agreed. See his full interview in "The German Aces Speak". Thanks for watching.
Bader is pronounced "Barder", not "Bayder". He was very insistent about it.

please fix the terrible spelling mistakes
Misinformation; although Stalin sent Polikarpov fighter planes to Spain they were for the democratically elected Republican Government. The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were battlecruisers equal in tonnage to some battleships not 10,000 ton pocket battleships designed to overcome the restrictions of the 1919 Versailles Treaty that imposed the 10,000 ton limits.
The Germans classified them as such as to avoid scrutiny, but the British were not fooled. The Polikarpovs were still engaging with German built aircraft regardless, and Franco was fighting the republicans, with German allies.

Charismatic and a great pilot, and I almost bought it, but the elephant in the room is the knowledge that they were fighting for a flat evil government. Galland knew as did all top officers and soldier celebs. Hell, anyone the fought for the Nazis after listening to the 1936-1939 rhetoric regarding Jews is guilty of collusion. I want to love the pilots of the Luftwaffe for their Prussian conduct and youthful exuberance, but they knew enough. They knew Jews were being relocated, they saw the events of Krystalnacht and they (pilots) knew they could have stood for something and they did not. The medals should have come off for good, and no amount of indoctrination can explain their failure to speak out. Can you imagine if Germany's top 4 or 5 experte pilots and Galland flew to England and spoke out? My God they could have saved millions of lives and the reputations of millions of dedicated professional fighting men of the Wehrmacht. If a pilot is brave enough to go up and risk it all at 25k feet, then they could have risked their own loved ones to save the Fatherland. Marsailles never would have lasted until 1945. You could see him coming apart. He would have quit and spoken out if he hadn't died, I 100% know this by learning about his personality. The wonderful talented brave and chivalrous men of the Luftwaffe must also own the dishonor they brought to Germany by allowing this unjust war to continue. I hate writing what I just wrote, but that was from the heart and after much soul searching.
Well, I disagree, because when these men did learn what was going on, many joined the resistance groups and conspiracies against Hitler. In fact, when Trautloft and Galland discovered Buchenwald, they moved heaven an earth to get the Allied airmen out. There was only so much the average German could do in defying that government. Their families were also at risk for retribution, and the vast majority never knew what was going on in the camps. Those operations were classified "most Secret" by Himmler for a very good reason. Even Hitler never acknowledged what he had unleashed keeping it as secretive as possible.
I truly want to believe that, I've always been a huge fan of many of these pilots. I choose to believe you 😀 but that's still the worst Mickey Mouse I've ever seen.
The facts are what they are.
About what these pilots knew or how bad Galland's Mickey Mouse was? :)
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL The action continued over the English Channel after the Battle of Britain, often with multiple daily combats. On June 21, 1941, Galland was shot down twice. First attacking Bristol Blenheim bombers, he was caught from behind and forced to crash-land in occupied France. Several hours later, flying his spare Messerschmitt, he scrambled again and outfought a Supermarine Spitfire. But while watching it splash, he was jumped again and shot down. He barely escaped the flaming 109 in time to pull his ripcord. Returning to his French base from the hospital, he learned that his 70th victory had earned him the Oak Leaves to the Knight’s Cross-the third ever awarded.
Occasionally JG.26 clashed with the RAF’s Tangmere Wing, commanded by the legendary Douglas Bader. On August 21 the legless British ace was downed over France in a confusing combat that may have involved friendly fire. Galland hosted his opposite number before Bader entered prison camp, beginning an enduring relationship.
I’m going to give this channel a lookin, even though I frequently dislike the format on other channels….I prefer not to see the narrator. Gall and has a huge black mark next to his name for helping to create the Air Force in Argentina at the time the government was providing ironclad protection to former Nazis of all stripes, including Eichmann and Mengele. This I cannot respect, because it was a highly suspect move on the part of a man whose main efforts post war were focused on distancing himself from top Nazis.
Galland needed a job and he was offered one, pretty simple. Thanks for watching.
Yes , but he taught for the evil empire . Hitler and
Franco and then Perron .
He fought for his country, he was not a signatory to the politics.
Achtung!! We salute our brave nationalist comrades!!
Thanks for watching.
Один из когорты германских ,мюнхаузенов,( фантазеров)....😉😂
Met him twice. Quite a character and balls the size of medicine balls. Needed them to stand up against Goering and Hitler. A gentleman.
The best of the best.
Galland was not superior fighters on Germany Hans-Joachim Marseill was
