From Jane's WWII Fighters
Günther Rall was born on March 10, 1918, in Gaggenau, a small village in the Black Forest. In 1939 he finished training as a fighter pilot on a base east of Berlin and was transferred to Jagdgeschwader 52 (JG 52). He had his first contact with the enemy in May 1940 over France.
Rall flew Messerschmitt Bf 109s during the Battle of Britain, during which he was made a squadron commander at the age of 22. His squadron was then moved to defend the Romanian oil fields and then on to the battle for Crete. With his score in the mid-thirties, he was shot down by Russian fighters, during which his back was broken in three places. His flying career was considered over as a result of the accident; however, sheer determination saw him back with his old unit after a nine month rehabilitation process in August 1942. A month later he was awarded the Knights Cross with his victory total at 65. He shot down his 100th victim in October 1942. His 200th victory came in August 1943, with his 250th following just three months later. In May 1944 he was shot down by a Thunderbolt and lost a thumb. He ended the war flying Me 262 jets in defense of the Reich.
He finished World War II as the third-highest-scoring fighter ace of all time with 275 aerial victories and held the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. His capture by the Americans was the beginning of a second career for him as a pilot. After retiring from the new German Air Force, General Rall began working in an advisory capacity for several well-known companies.

Dieses Video stellt den Beginn einer kleinen Serie dar, welche Günther Rall´s Luftsiege, so wie sie in seinem Buch "Mein Flugbuch" beschrieben sind, darstellt.
Die Geschichte:
Am 18. Mai 1940 hob Günther Rall zusammen mit Lothar Ehrlich und zwei weiteren Piloten in seiner Bf109 E-3 bei Trier ab, um einem heimkehrenden He111-Aufklärer Geleitschutz zu geben. Dabei kommt es nahe Nancy zu einem Zusammentreffen mit französischen Jägern, Typ Curtiss P-36. Rall gelingt es dabei, die Maschine des tschechischen Piloten O. Hanzlicek abzuschiessen, welcher sich jedoch glücklicherweise mit dem Fallschirm aus seiner brennenden Maschine retten konnte. Noch während des Beschusses der P-36 wurde Rall selbst getroffen, stürzte davon, verlor den Kontakt zu seinen Kameraden und flog alleine über Mannheim bis nach Ippesheim, wo er dann landete.
Gesprochener Text im Video:
Nicht lange, und Ich entdecke die Heinkel einige Kilometer vor uns in gleicher Höhe, genau auf Gegenkurs. Ein Rendezvous, wie es perfekter nicht ablaufen könnte. "Ich hab ihn!" melde ich den anderen, "Position 12 Uhr, 5km gleiche Höhe. Dort, wo die Eisenbahnbrücke über die Mosel führt!"
"Indianer!", alamiere ich die Staffel, "Indianer, 12 Uhr! Hanni 6500, zehn oder mehr!" Die winzigen schwarzen Punkte hinter der Heinkel zu entdecken und die Warnung auszurufen ist eins. Sie scheinen sich gar nicht zu bewegen, aber sie hängen dort im Abendrot in Dreiergruppen und ich weiss, dass wir in wenigen Augenblicken unser erstes Treffen mit feindlichen Jägern auszufechten haben werden, die geradewegs auf uns zusteuern.
Ich sehe die bulligen, grau-grünen Rümpfe mit den Kokarden und weiss, dass es französische Curtiss sind, die unserem Aufklärer hier ans Blech wollen. Ich sehe Lothar Ehrlich auf den Führer der Franzosen hinabstoßen, drücke meine Messerschmitt selber in einer Steilkurve auf die gegnerische Formation hinunter und sitze im Nu hinter einem der beiden Flügelmänner des Führers.
Jetzt! Ein Feuerstoss, ich lasse den Knüppel wieder nach, sehe den Gegner brennen. In diesem Augenblick hageln Treffern in meine eigene Maschine.
Noch rast mein Herz wie wild und der Schweiß strömt mir über das Gesicht. Ist das Flugzeug überhaupt Flugfähig? Ein rascher Blick über die Instrumente, die Tragflächen und den Rumpf, soweit man ihn sehen kann. Die Messerschmitt verliert offenbar weder Kühlmittel, noch Öl oder Treibstoff.
Nach weit über anderthalb Stunden Flugzeit lande ich um viertel nach Sieben in Mannheim, lasse auftanken und kehre mit dem letzten Abendlicht um 20:27 Uhr nach Ippesheim zurück.
This video is the beginning of a small collection about victories gained by Günther Rall as described in his book "Mein Flugbuch".
The story:
On May 18th 1940, Günther Rall, Lothar Ehrlich and two others Pilots left with their Bf109 E-3 from Trier to protect a returning He111 scout. Near Nancy, Rall had his first encounter with french fighters, model Curtiss P-36. He was able to shoot down the plane of czech pilot O. Hanzlicek, who luckily bailed out and survived. While shooting the P-36, Rall himself was hit, dived away, lost contact to his comrades, then returned to Mannheim and finally landed at Ippesheim.
Translation of spoken text:
After a few moments, I recognize the Heinkel at the same altitude a few miles away, heading towards us. A rendezvous which couldn´t be better. "I got him!" I inform the others, "at 12 o´clock, same altitude, three miles ahead. There, where railroad bridge leads above the river Mosel."
"Enemies!" I alert my squadron, "Enemies at 12 o´clock! Altitude 19500 ft, ten or more!". Recognizing and reporting the small black dots behind the Heinkel happens at the same time. They doesn´t seem to move, but they are hanging there in groups of three and I know that we will have our first encounter in a few moments with those enemy fighters heading towards us.
I can see the brawny, gray-green fuselages with cockades and I know that these are french Curtiss hunting our scout. I can see Lothar Ehrlich diving at the leader of the french, push my own Messerschmitt down and after seconds I find myself behind one of the wingmen.
Now! A burst, i release the stick and see the burning enemy. That moment, bullets hit my plane.
Still my heart is beating, sweat covers my face. Is my plane still airworthy? A fast look at the instruments, the wings and fuselage as far as I could see it. The Messerschmitt seems to lose neither cooling liquid, nor oil or fuel.
After one and a half hours of flight time, I land at quarter past seven in Mannheim, refuel and return to Ippesheim with the last beams of daylight at 8:27pm.

Günther Rall
Lieutenant-General Günther Rall (10 March 1918 – 4 October 2009) was the third most successful fighter ace in history. He achieved a total of 275 victories during World War II: 272 on the Eastern Front, of which 241 were against Soviet fighters. He flew a total of 621 combat missions, was shot down eight times and was wounded three times. He fought 1940 in the Battle of France, the Battle of Britain, 1941 in the Balkan Campaign and over Crete. He began the conflict as a young Second Lieutenant, and was a Major and Geschwaderkommodore of JG 300 at the surrender. He claimed all of his victories in the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
Early life
He was born in Gaggenau, a small town in the Schwarzwald (Blackforest) region in Germany, as a son of a businessman. He joined the Wehrmacht and became a Fähnrich (officer candidate) on 4 December 1936. He entered the War College in Dresden, where he was influenced by one of his best friends to join the Luftwaffe. He qualified as a pilot on 1 July 1938 and was posted to Jagdgeschwader 52 (JG 52—52nd Fighter Wing), with the rank of Leutnant (second lieutenant).

Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and exceeded the air corps' expectations. Although Boeing lost the contract because the prototype crashed, the air corps was so impressed with Boeing's design that it ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation. From its introduction in 1938, the B-17 Flying Fortress evolved through numerous design advances.
The B-17 was primarily employed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. The United States Eighth Air Force, based at many airfields in southern England, and the Fifteenth Air Force, based in Italy, complemented the RAF Bomber Command's nighttime area bombing in the Combined Bomber Offensive to help secure air superiority over the cities, factories and battlefields of Western Europe in preparation for the invasion of France in 1944. The B-17 also participated to a lesser extent in the War in the Pacific, early in World War II, where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields.

Il-2 Sturmovik: Günther Rall Pt.1
For english description and translation, see below! Dieses Video stellt den Beginn einer kleinen Serie dar, welche Günther Rall´s Luftsiege, so wie sie in seinem Buch "Mein Flugbuch" beschrieben sind, darstellt. Die Geschichte: Am 18. Mai 1940 hob Günther Rall zusammen mit Lothar Ehrlich und zwei weiteren Piloten in seiner Bf109 E-3 bei Trier ab, um einem heimkehrenden He111-Aufklärer Geleitschutz zu geben. Dabei kommt es nahe Nancy zu einem Zusammentreffen mit französischen Jägern, Typ Curtiss P-36. Rall gelingt es dabei, die Maschine des tschechischen Piloten O. Hanzlicek abzuschiessen, welcher sich jedoch glücklicherweise mit dem Fallschirm aus seiner brennenden Maschine retten konnte. Noch während des Beschusses der P-36 wurde Rall selbst getroffen, stürzte davon, verlor den Kon...

From Jane's WWII Fighters
Günther Rall was born on March 10, 1918, in Gaggenau, a small village in the Black Forest. In 1939 he finished training as a fighter pilot on a base east of Berlin and was transferred to Jagdgeschwader 52 (JG 52). He had his first contact with the enemy in May 1940 over France.
Rall flew Messerschmitt Bf 109s during the Battle of Britain, during which he was made a squadron commander at the age of 22. His squadron was then moved to defend the Romanian oil fields and then on to the battle for Crete. With his score in the mid-thirties, he was shot down by Russian fighters, during which his back was broken in three places. His flying career was considered over as a result of the accident; however, sheer determination saw him back with his old unit after a nine month rehabilitation process in August 1942. A month later he was awarded the Knights Cross with his victory total at 65. He shot down his 100th victim in October 1942. His 200th victory came in August 1943, with his 250th following just three months later. In May 1944 he was shot down by a Thunderbolt and lost a thumb. He ended the war flying Me 262 jets in defense of the Reich.
He finished World War II as the third-highest-scoring fighter ace of all time with 275 aerial victories and held the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. His capture by the Americans was the beginning of a second career for him as a pilot. After retiring from the new German Air Force, General Rall began working in an advisory capacity for several well-known companies.

Die Geschichte:
Am 18. Mai 1940 hob Günther Rall zusammen mit Lothar Ehrlich und zwei weiteren Piloten in seiner Bf109 E-3 bei Trier ab, um einem heimkehrenden He111-Aufklärer Geleitschutz zu geben. Dabei kommt es nahe Nancy zu einem Zusammentreffen mit französischen Jägern, Typ Curtiss P-36. Rall gelingt es dabei, die Maschine des tschechischen Piloten O. Hanzlicek abzuschiessen, welcher sich jedoch glücklicherweise mit dem Fallschirm aus seiner brennenden Maschine retten konnte. Noch während des Beschusses der P-36 wurde Rall selbst getroffen, stürzte davon, verlor den Kontakt zu seinen Kameraden und flog alleine über Mannheim bis nach Ippesheim, wo er dann landete.
Gesprochener Text im Video:
Nicht lange, und Ich entdecke die Heinkel einige Kilometer vor uns in gleicher Höhe, genau auf Gegenkurs. Ein Rendezvous, wie es perfekter nicht ablaufen könnte. "Ich hab ihn!" melde ich den anderen, "Position 12 Uhr, 5km gleiche Höhe. Dort, wo die Eisenbahnbrücke über die Mosel führt!"
"Indianer!", alamiere ich die Staffel, "Indianer, 12 Uhr! Hanni 6500, zehn oder mehr!" Die winzigen schwarzen Punkte hinter der Heinkel zu entdecken und die Warnung auszurufen ist eins. Sie scheinen sich gar nicht zu bewegen, aber sie hängen dort im Abendrot in Dreiergruppen und ich weiss, dass wir in wenigen Augenblicken unser erstes Treffen mit feindlichen Jägern auszufechten haben werden, die geradewegs auf uns zusteuern.
Ich sehe die bulligen, grau-grünen Rümpfe mit den Kokarden und weiss, dass es französische Curtiss sind, die unserem Aufklärer hier ans Blech wollen. Ich sehe Lothar Ehrlich auf den Führer der Franzosen hinabstoßen, drücke meine Messerschmitt selber in einer Steilkurve auf die gegnerische Formation hinunter und sitze im Nu hinter einem der beiden Flügelmänner des Führers.
Jetzt! Ein Feuerstoss, ich lasse den Knüppel wieder nach, sehe den Gegner brennen. In diesem Augenblick hageln Treffern in meine eigene Maschine.
Noch rast mein Herz wie wild und der Schweiß strömt mir über das Gesicht. Ist das Flugzeug überhaupt Flugfähig? Ein rascher Blick über die Instrumente, die Tragflächen und den Rumpf, soweit man ihn sehen kann. Die Messerschmitt verliert offenbar weder Kühlmittel, noch Öl oder Treibstoff.
Nach weit über anderthalb Stunden Flugzeit lande ich um viertel nach Sieben in Mannheim, lasse auftanken und kehre mit dem letzten Abendlicht um 20:27 Uhr nach Ippesheim zurück.
This video is the beginning of a small collection about victories gained by Günther Rall as described in his book "Mein Flugbuch".
The story:
On May 18th 1940, Günther Rall, Lothar Ehrlich and two others Pilots left with their Bf109 E-3 from Trier to protect a returning He111 scout. Near Nancy, Rall had his first encounter with french fighters, model Curtiss P-36. He was able to shoot down the plane of czech pilot O. Hanzlicek, who luckily bailed out and survived. While shooting the P-36, Rall himself was hit, dived away, lost contact to his comrades, then returned to Mannheim and finally landed at Ippesheim.
Translation of spoken text:
After a few moments, I recognize the Heinkel at the same altitude a few miles away, heading towards us. A rendezvous which couldn´t be better. "I got him!" I inform the others, "at 12 o´clock, same altitude, three miles ahead. There, where railroad bridge leads above the river Mosel."
"Enemies!" I alert my squadron, "Enemies at 12 o´clock! Altitude 19500 ft, ten or more!". Recognizing and reporting the small black dots behind the Heinkel happens at the same time. They doesn´t seem to move, but they are hanging there in groups of three and I know that we will have our first encounter in a few moments with those enemy fighters heading towards us.
I can see the brawny, gray-green fuselages with cockades and I know that these are french Curtiss hunting our scout. I can see Lothar Ehrlich diving at the leader of the french, push my own Messerschmitt down and after seconds I find myself behind one of the wingmen.
Now! A burst, i release the stick and see the burning enemy. That moment, bullets hit my plane.
Still my heart is beating, sweat covers my face. Is my plane still airworthy? A fast look at the instruments, the wings and fuselage as far as I could see it. The Messerschmitt seems to lose neither cooling liquid, nor oil or fuel.
After one and a half hours of flight time, I land at quarter past seven in Mannheim, refuel and return to Ippesheim with the last beams of daylight at 8:27pm.
