Stigler had been trained to never fire on an airman in a parachute. He regarded the plane as being so badly damaged that it was analogous to a parachute for the crew, so it would have been dishonorable to fire on it. He then escorted the bomber past the German anti-aircraft artillery guns, which would not fire close to his plane. It is a fantastic true story of humanity prevailing even in war.

This. Also to mention that Stigler was one air fight victory away from getting the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross which was the highest honor a German soldier could get during the Nazi regime. But like you wrote Stigler remembered the words of Gustav Rödel who was Stiglers commanding officer in North Africa "If I ever see you shooting a man in a parachute, I will shoot you myself". Yes my ancestors committed quite some crimes during that time but there were also some honorable persons during those harsh war times.

Rödel was also the trainer of german fighter ace Adolf Galland. and Galland told every man on his wing the same. "I see you shooting at a man in a chute, i'll get into my plane and shoot you down myself." strangely enough, that kind of chivalry was not only between pilots, but also tank and ship crews. you don't kill the man, you take out the machine

@@asvagar8163 I cant say i have ever heard that revolving tanks as even a single infantry man can be a threat to a tank if they have grenades on them to destroy the treads if they manage to get close ofc. But for the navy and air force absolutly. If a pilot manage to survive the destruction of there plane they are no longer a threat to u so firing at a chute was considered lack of honor and many trainers in WW2 was veterans from WW1 and back then it was even worse if u did that. Same goes for the navy, if a sailor manage to survive the sinking of there ship they do not deserve to die freezing in the middle of the ocean so if there is no longer a threat to your ship u start pulling sailors out of the water. Subs were the only exception as they were already cramped and hade no real way to keep any pow onboard.

You really should check out "Christmas Truce" and their cover of Motohead's "1916".They are both live action videos and I think you would like them both. With Sabaton's songs make sure you stay until the very end of the video!

Sabaton is a Swedish metal band, most of their songs are about Military History. A sabaton is the foot piece in a medieval suit of armor. Formed in 1999, lead singer Joakim Broden and bassist Par Sundstrom are the primary songwriters , and the only original members left. They tell the story without taking sides. The current lineup seen here includes guitarist Chris Rorland (joined 2012), guitarist Tommy Johansson (j. 2016), and drummer Hannes van Dahl (j. 2014). Franz Stiglers commander had told them that if they ever shot a man in a parachute, he would shoot them himself. Franz felt shooting a plane so badly damaged, and unable to fight back, was akin to that. Charlie took Franz to a reunion, Franz felt uncomfortable and not sure if he should be there. Charlie told him that everyone there was family to the men he spared. What the video didn't show is that the band took the time to personally meet with the Stigler family at the concert. The Mom, Jovita Theren-Stigler, is active on KZitem, and will sometimes leave a comment on reactions to this song. "Christmas Truce" is a Sabaton song that we recommend , and is perfect for the season.

Hello, ladies! If you liked this video, I have three others 1) Night Witches, Animated Story Video 2) Christmas Truce 3) Bismarck But Sabaton is the metal band history teacher you didn't know you needed! And just to clarify, Franz Stigler, the BF-109 pilot, did what he did because his Flight Training Officer had once told him, "If you ever shoot down a man in a parachute, I'll kill you myself." Franz Stigler saw the Pub, the B-17, as helpless as a man in a parachute. But that isn't all there is to the story. After Franz and Charlie became friends, he had been invited to a reunion of his wartime air unit, the 378th Bombing Group. Charlie then invited Franz to go with him, and after finding out what Franz had done for the Pub, was made an honorary member of the 378th. When Franz said he had done nothing special, one of the wives of the surviving aircrew of the Pub turned to him and said, "Look around you, Mr. Stigler. The children and grandchildren of the men you saved that day would not be here now, if not for the actions you took that December day. You did more than you know." Which is, in my opinion, the moral of the story: We never truly know how we affect others, or what consequences our actions may have with regards to other people. Merry Christmas, ladies, and have a very merry holiday season!

If you want an awesome live song with Sabaton you should react to en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) live Scandinavium Gothenburg. The album Carolus Rex they released during that time is about a part of Swedish history called the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) from a time when Sweden was a much bigger nation with ambitions of expanding. The album was released with both a Swedish and English version, the difference being that the Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldier's view while the English is more from an outsider observer's view. It is the Swedish version they played during that show so be sure you have the subtitles on. I was at that show and all I can say is that you will not regret it.

Sabaton has a loooong list of history based music. A bit of advice, Sabaton videos often have dedications (in memory of...) and/or messages (war know knows no...) at the end, so watching to the very end is recommended. Actually, Sabaton have won awards for being educators of the public (not much money, but prestige), they have a history channel on KZitem where they talk about the history behind the songs (over 100 at present), and why/how they made the song/video. Animated STORY videos, short history lessons with music videos in them, followed by concluding history), you will likely have enough explained in these to get you interested to find out more. No bullets fly you just saw. Night witches abou female bombers during ww2 and their success despite the bad equipment and discrimination... Lady of the dark female ww1 warhero and leader of soldiers. Red baron, famous fighter pilot in ww1 Epic ones (official not the lyric videos) Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Defence of Moscow, self explained Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising during 1944. To hell and back: they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of Verdun: the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile: about the battle of Passchendaele in WW1 Screaming Eagles: about the battle of the Bulge Royal guards and Livgardet in that order, they are partially intertwined and tell a story (Sabaton do that), both about the history behind Swedish Royal guards, written to celebrate the 500 year anniversary of Livgardet (Royal guards in Swedish). Unkillable soldier: About Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart. the acting deliberately simulates "plot armour" and acting in videogames/movies where hero never has bad outcomes to injury. he actually went through MORE in reality, survived plane crashes, escaped POW camp… served Boer war, WW1, WW2 and few minor in-between. Live performances: 40:1 from poland Uprising from Poland Uprising, live from Poland. En livstid i krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles), very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Swedish pagans, live from Wacken 2019 (with Tina Guo). These are just some, there are plenty more.

If I remember right from reading the book about those two pilots Franz Stigler was an ace pilot with somewhere around 27 kills at that point. However he considered shooting down that bomber as cowardly an act as shooting a defenceless man in a parachute.

I believe he had four and that any pilot that got five kills (ace status) would automatically get the Knight's Cross, Germany's highest base award for valor (additional pieces like oak leaves could be added for later acts of bravery to increase the "level" of the award). That's where the line "Said goodbye to the cross he deserved" came from because Stigler never got another kill during the war and so never got the Knight's Cross.

Hi ladies, subscriber from Oregon. Didnt check the comments but assume someone may have mentioned that Floor Jansen from Nightwish is married to the drummer for Sabaton. In their "Christmas Truce" video, he is the light haired fellow hurt by a hand grenade at the beginning and comes up out of the trenches to begin the brief "truce". She also is the singer at the end during the credits of that video. My father was a B17 bomber mechanic who had to patch up or part out the planes too damaged when they came back from bombing runs. Many never came back and so he lost many friends. He was stationed at Horham Air Base England for 3 years during WWII. By the way, they do a video in honor of women in military of a group of Russian female pilots you might check called "Night Witches" .

When Franz Stigler said "IT WASN'T EASY", I thought because of the uneasy rivalry of WW2. When Charlie Brown invited Franz Stigler to the WW2 Airborne reunion, many WW2 Airborne veterans gave Franz an uneasy welcome and one yelled "Nazi" to Franz. But Charlie was able to make Franz feel welcome and they became good friends. In 2008, Franz passed away and a few months later in 2008, Charlie Brown passed away.

There’s a story during WW2 in the pacific where if I remember right Japanese pilots flew over an American airbase and dropped a note saying the following day they would come back and perform and air show for them. The next day a few Japanese planes came back and did just that. They did rolls and loops over the runway for a few minutes all the while the US guns didn’t fire on them and people on the ground enjoyed the show. After a while the Japanese planes returned back to their base undamaged and the following day the war continued. Truth is way stranger than fiction.

Sabaton is an incredible band. All the songs are about war heros, moments, and battles that'll always give you chills. I definitely recommend The Last Battle by Sabaton.

Yes Christmas Truce and 1916 official videos are both a must. You should also take a look at the new album by Tarja (former Nightwish singer) called Dark Christmas. You'll recognise the songs but will never have heard them like this before. Official videos to be watched of course.

To add something. Sabaton is always making videos/songs about true war stories. But only those who have been confirmed by historians to be happened that way. Thats why the band also said they wont do any songs on "recent" conflicts as there are still too fresh to have historians and similar scholars saying "Yes that is what exactly happened". But they also have some songs that are not telling stories so those are "just" songs

I know this bands history KZitem channel has already been mentioned in the comments, that said, you should check out the video they did for this song. If this brought a tear to your eye after finding out it was a true story of courage and humanity, then get a few tissue boxes ready when you watch them talk about the subject matter of the song and how it came to be the song your just reacted to.

Franz Stigler could have shot down charlie Brown and the Ye olde Pub. But seeing how the Ye Olde Pub couldn't fight back Franz couldn't bring himself to finish the job. Franz gave up ever getting the knights cross. But he gained a brother when they met years later

Sabaton has another channel where they team up with a historian named Indy (no, I don't think he's ever melted any Nazis with any ancient Hebrew artifacts). He explains the history behind their songs, and interviews band members (usually Par or Joakim). If you want to learn more about the history of Sabaton's music, look it up: SABATON HISTORY.

Sabaton should be shown in history classes. Try their "Night Witches"? Their "Bismarck" official video is awesome too. Hannes, Sabaton's drummer, is married to Floor Jansen! They have 2 girls - Freya and Lucy.

I would recommend listening to White Death by Sabaton, and then watching the Sabaton History Channel video about it. It's about Simo Hayha, a Finnish Sniper who fought in the winter war against the Russians during WWII. He's the deadliest sniper in modern history. Soldier of Heaven is also fantastic, it's about the "Winter War" in the Alps during WWI. And 82nd All the Way, which is about Sgt. Alvin York. As many people have said, Night Witches and Lady of the Dark are phenomenal. Really, you can't go wrong with any of their stuff.

I would like to suggest a song.. Nightwish-Shoemaker, either the official version or Hellfest. Another Sabaton could be Bismark or Ein Livstid i Krieg live in Gothenburg.
