It took us a ton of effort to make this one. If you enjoyed it please consider hitting subscribe and like. Thank You !

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.

My jaw dropped when you said that Stigler and Galland crossed paths. Thank you for the amazing video!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

My father belonged to Galland's staff as a radio operator. He was 20 years old, and very fast in Morse.

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 KZfaq until now. Thanks for you're effort!

One of the best German pilots and a gentleman. A rare breed of man that war seems to bring out.

i like how the stories all link up from the honorable franz stigler to the interactions of another fighter ace erich hartmann

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.

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.

Two legends crossing each other's paths.

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.

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

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.

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

Marcus Snow "Swordsman":"He's the one no doubt! The Ace of Aces!" Adolf Galland is one of my personal favourite German Aces.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

THE CALLBACK TO THE EARLIER STYLE YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING

I absolutely loved that little callback to the older animation about stigler. It’s amazing to see how far the yarnhub team has come

The animation here is unmatched. I have no clue how you guys continue to improve with each iteration

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.

Nothing better than getting a birthday present from Yarnhub himself🖤

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

Damn, the quality is going up faster than a 262! 📈 📈 📈

That first scene with Goering and Galland had movie level quality and suspense! I hope Yarnhub can make an animated war movie some day!

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

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

This one for sure is a classic. As always, magnificent work Yarnhub!

This new format of different chapters is so good. Please keep up the great work, it isnt unnoticed!

the animation gets better everytime

Didn´t expect to see stigler in the video, This video was great and the story the same.

These animations have gotten really crazy good

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

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

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!!

goerings scenes look very cinematic, even for your standards! very impressive

weekly dose of quality content here we go!

I couldn't imagine how much effort this would take. I'm suprised you can make these in a week. Good job!

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!

Another episode with real Dogfights vibes. Awesome job here, Yarnhub team!

Didn't expect Stigler to make an apperance

The quality of animation has improved astronomically!! It's just heartwarming to see this channel grow and perform well..❤

love the attention to detail on the 109s

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how amazing the graphics look

This has to be one of the best channels on KZfaq. Meticulously researched to bring personal accounts of the bloodiest conflict the world has ever seen to life.

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.

The effort on this one is noticeable! Bravo, bravo!

Stigler, Galland, Hartman, Wilcke, Barkhorn, Rall, Marseille So great that even their enemy respect them so much

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

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 animation the writing everything and i mean everything is just perfect

if yarnhub made a ww2 air combat game i would play it

I love how the quality of the image has increased over time

I am from Argentina... and did not know he ended up here. My like as always, I was subscribed already.

I love the fact that the related story is one of the recommended videos.

Thank you for the amazing content! And congrats for the amazing research, storytelling and animations!

The animation has just gotten so smooth and clean overtime. Great Job!!

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 callback to the original animation of the spared B-17 was absolutely beautiful...

Bruh the closed up shot of Goering and galland is amazing

My gf was blown away with the animation in this one. Congrats yarnhub keep it up

Fascinating story and so expertly animated

This has been the best yarn hub video yet

It’s interesting to see such a skilled ace be so humble

Please make a video about Franz Stauddegger when he took on 50 T-34 tanks with his single Tiger tank and won.

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!

Galland- a real gentleman, a real pilot ace and a real man.

My father a WW2 RAF fighter pilot met Galland at Reunion in the late 80’s. He had a very enjoyable night.

i swear these german aces are sure badasses

As the English would say, good show! Happy a video was made on Galland, a true knight of the sky

What a legend..... the reason I like your channel is because you show the stories from both the sides, I used to watch History Channel Dogfights which only used to show the bravery of US and allied aviators, I am sure both sides had one or other such stories

That animation quality jump when Goering stepped off the train and confronted Galland, holy crap guys

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.

The animation is just getting better and better. And the story telling is incredible. Love your channel.

The animation looks amazing, the moment that Göring stepped out of the train had me shook!

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.

Your hard work and dedication has led to the best possible video that both teaches me more about history, and entertains me at the same time! Keep it going man

:0 these graphical improvements are getting better and better! The animation is so smooth and a cinematic masterpiece! You're amazing man, you've improved massively. Well done mate

The animations just keep getting better and better.

This one was so moving, the animations have significantly improved over the last year, By now- every single Yarnhub release makes me jump of excitement of more eye-candy, great story telling and moving stories.

The shine on the boots was absolutely breathtaking. Been watching since it was still 2D (but never subscribed, sorry) and I'm happy.
