========= No Bullets Fly LYRICS =========
From down below an enemy spotted
So hurry up, rearm and refuel
But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
See wounded men, scared to their bone
Look to the right and then look again
And see the enemy in the eye
No bullets fly, spared by his mercy
Escorted out, out of harms way
Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
Killing machine
Honour in the skies
B17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved
He risked his life two times that day
To save an unknown enemy
Escort to safety, out of the killzone
A short salute, then departed
========= Historic Fact ==========
Following a successful air raid on the German city of Bremen, Charlie Brown's American B-17 bomber, ‘Ye Old Pub’, suffered severe damage. When German fighter ace, Franz Stigler, was ordered to shoot it down, he risked his life to escort the bomber to safety instead of attacking.

The only problem is, he thought, would this act really be a chivalrous deed. He remembered the first lesson he had learned from his first commander, another Luftwaffe ace Gustav Rödel. "If I ever find out that you've shot down an enemy parachuting pilot," Rödel told him, "I will shoot you personally. Although we are at war, we cannot lose our humanity. We have a code of honor in the air. If you renounce it, you will not be able to look in the mirror ".

At 3:38 they show Stigler pointing over his shoulder to the right, followed by Brown shaking his head "No!" That actually happened. I read the book "A Higher Call". Stigler didn't think the B-17 could make it back to England due to how heavily damaged it was and was pointing them to neutral Sweden where they would be safely interned. Brown thought Stigler wanted him to land at a German airfield, which was why he refused. BTW, Stigler flew close formation with the B-17 over the coast because he knew German AA gunners would recognize a 109 and not fire. He not only refused to fire himself, but also protected the B-17 from other German fire. If any man deserves an honored place in Valhalla, it is Franz Stigler.

@@hunterbear2421 True. During Operation Market Garden when British paratroopers were cut off and surrounded at Arnhem, they set up a field hospital in the basement of a hotel. During the battle, the upper floors were hit by shell fire and set ablaze. The British commander knew the wounded in the basement had to be evacuated before the building collapsed, but the incoming fire was to heavy. He sent word, under a flag of truce, to the German commander explaining the situation and requesting a temporary ceasefire so the wounded could be saved. Not only did the German commander agree, but many German soldiers laid down their weapons and crossed unarmed into the British perimeter to assist in the rescue operation. For more details, reference "A Bridge Too Far" by Cornelius Ryan.

@@carsismyaddiction6919 it's also a sign of a good commander. The entire purpose of a military is to accomplish the political goals of the state through force/violence. Using excessive force (such as killing injured troops) actually makes your acts less effective. As it may make the enemy fight on even past the point of being combat effective. In fact such acts of compassion can motivate an enemy who is no longer combat effective to give up and surrender. Thus saving you time, supplies and personnel. This is a lesson that goes as far back in history back as Cyrus II of Persia (500B.C.).

Once the members of the Bombing Group met Franz Stigler, they made him an honorary member of the 378th for his heroism in saving the Pub that day. Never shall we forget. Happy Memorial Day 2022.

@goldosprey 3 жыл бұрын
Its a story not many know, and with good reason...for if the story ever broke during wartime, Franz would probably have executed. But the story goes, that he spotted Ye Old Pub, wounded, on fire, bloodied. He could have fired. He could have downed the men. He could have been awarded for his...barbarism. But his own master, his old commander once told him, that to shoot such pilots would be tantamount to treason and would put a bullet between Mr. Steigler's eyes. So despite his repeated gestures to order the plane down, at great risk to all involved, he escorted Ye olde Pub home. Ye Old Pub's commander told them to censor the story to save the man's life. Years later, the pilot one Charlie Brown sought out the pilot and they met. It was a glorious meeting. And they remained friends until they flew on their final mission together into the annals of history. Perhaps the lesson here is that at the end of the day, honor trumps any award. Yes I did that and I hope everyone appreciates it. RIP Charlie Brown and Franz Stieger

I don't know why, but this actually made me cry. The fact that the German fighter pilot showed such humanity in the midst of war reminds us that while governments may have evil designs, the people are still just people, and while it's one thing to shoot at someone who is trying to kill you, it's a different thing to attack someone who is defenseless.

You could say their music is anti war, because they tell it like it happened. My other favorite is "Sky Pilot" by Eric Burdon and the Animals. I understand "sky pilot" was military slang for military chaplain. You might also like to look up the story of George Zabelka, who was "sky pilot" to the 509th Bomber Squadron, which dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I'm Australian, and I knew his story from a folk song by Australian Catholic folk singer Peter Kearney.

While in training Stigler was told by his commanding officer “If I ever see or hear of you shooting at a man in a parachute, I will shoot you down myself. You follow the rules of war for you - not for your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity.” Stigler later commented “To me, it was just like they were in a parachute. I saw them and I couldn’t shoot them down. “

Just a small correction to your post. I read the book "A Higher Call" which details this story. It was well after Franz Stigler was a fully trained and experienced pilot that he was assigned to North Africa. It was there that, when he first reported in, his squadron commander told him, "Shooting a man in a parachute is not an act of war, it is an act of murder. If I ever find you have done that, I will draw my pistol and shoot you myself." Just a small detail.

fun fact: Franz Stigler had enough victories to get the Knight's Cross, he just gave them to younger/beginner pilots who he flew with. He also fought in Galland Circus along with the greatest fighter pilots who ever lived. He remained human in the most terrible time of humanity, an absolute legend. (If you want to learn about him more, I recommend you to read the Higher Call book)

@Anson Leung my sources mostly from Higher Call, which is mostly Stigler’s own storytelling... he flew in the Galland circus where he became friends with Galland, but you were right, only one bomber victory needed for his cross

Franz Stigler was a man of true honor. He chose to spare Charlie Brown and his crew instead of getting the easy kill. Charlie and Stigler will be forever immortalized due to the Brotherhood they created that fateful day.
@someguy9293 2 жыл бұрын
I think in the end, Franz Stigler understood that killing a defenseless Bomber was no way to earn a Knight's Cross. Franz Stigler is like Edward Von Richtofen. Who would also spared his enemy if there machine guns jammed up, or if there plane was too badly damaged for a dogfight. I hope Franz Stigler, and Charlie Brown are in Heaven now, on a fishing trip, and sharing stories.

Also single most important gunner position. Waist gunners were always debatable (the idea was to prevent fighters from matching speed and hanging out in blindspots) and most were untrained support personnel from the base (cooks, supply, admin support). Ball and Tail gunners were specially trained and critical to the survival of the bomber...even in the jet age the original B-52s had tail cannons and tail cannon only for firepower.
