I saw this movie years before I ever saw Star Wars. One of my all time favorite soundtracks. I think I was 9 when I first saw this. Humming this theme all over the place. Loved it.
Repeat please.
"give me a sqaudron of spitfires"
Favourite line out of the film
Saying that to those 109 fans is hilarious. You might say “triggered”
"Don't you yell at me Mr Warwick!!"
Michael Bates had a couple other roles playing characters yelling at people. One was as the Chief Guard in "A Clockwork Orange" ("Are you able to see the white line painted on the floor directly behind you, Six-Double-Five-Three-Two-One?" "Yes, sir." "Then your toes belong ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT!!!") and as General Ludendorff in "Fall of Eagles"
Bates was great!
Susannah York. Wow. Sure looks good in stockings and suspenders.
"Put that cigarette out, can't you smell gas"?
The music of Ron Goodwin is second to none! What a great composer he was. Sadly missed.
I have marched around the living room to this with my six year old daughter and two year old son. They will grow up in full knowledge of the pilots who fought and died to defend us against tyranny.
God bless the Bravest of the Brave.
This march is supposed to represent the Luftwaffe though...
@@lyl9255 so what is your point ? It was composed by Ron Goodwin (no German) in the style of Prusian marches of the 19th century , which where misjuiced in the 20th century by fascists and there propaganda, so in the end it's still some nice 19th century music.
The silence is defending. I thought it was called the Luftwaffe March until and quite rightly so some old Brits complained. What are you teaching your kids?🇦🇺
I've got this on a single record that was released at the same time as the film - and on it it's called the 'Luftwaffe March' Presumably somebody later decided to re-name it 'Aces High' for some obscure reason!
@@aloysiusjones3985 My guess would be that he is talking about showing the movie in general to his kids, then they, being the young and innocent children that they were, thought this a funny tune to march to, which goes to demonstrate that educating your offspring is not difficult if you manage to hit the right snare.
In other words, no nazi ideas were spread during the watching of this movie. I would do the same, maybe at a slightly later age, except I don't have children... yet
This was my grandpa's favorite movie, he served in the USAAF In ww2 and Korea as a pilot. One of my favorites just because of the music.
Ron Goodwin would have made a great march composer of the Old School; he clearly loved German march music which is distinctly different from British, American or French styles; he clearly had fun with his oom-pah Prussian theme in "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines" and here, at the start of "Battle of Britain", as the Reichsmarschal inspects his mighty Luftwaffe, he gives us a splendid grand march ! If the Germans today sometimes play this music I hope they recall it was composed by a Brit !
+william wright this is one of the greatest marches ever, did really Ron Goodwin composed it? simple great
+william wright are there any lyrics? somewhere?
+Nils Voelkel I agree, this march really cries out for lyrics. :) And William wright thanks for reminding me that Mr. Goodwin wrote the Flying Machines music, that theme still pops in and out of my head. :)
william wright
Stephan Biernath we have a good beer over here in England it's called Spitfire downed all over Kent just like the Luftwaffe
How very Prussian and yet how also British. I loved this theme as a kid and I enjoyed all of Goodwin's work for the film which I had to queue to see as a kid.
Just a beauty of a march. I've loved it since hearing it in the film in 1969. It's got everything a march needs, it's rousing and sparkling and uplifting. Bravo Mr. Goodwin!
erhard milch smiling albert kesselring inspecting luftwaffe my favorite opening scene
Easily one of my favourite "military" marches even though it's fictional. Overall this movie has a fantastic score.
Better fictional than a nazi
I wouldn't say it's fictional. It was composed for the movie, but it's a real march, and has since been adopted by some units. Might be more accurate to say that it's not a historical or period march.
Well.... This was one of couples movies/fictional march that was adopted into armies. The others I knew was Soviet "V put" .
This piece plays once in the film (during the opening credits) showing a Luftwaffe inspection. It's composer is English (Ron Goodwin) but it is composed in 6/8 time with heavy emphasis on the oom-pah German marching style.
The last little corporal attempted to cross and became a cropper...!
If I may offer a minor correction, it's "came a cropper." It's a British saying, "to come a cropper", to fail completely.
I was a small boy and went to see this when it first came out in 1969-I have still got the booklet you could buy when you went to see the film. The music by Ron Goodwin is as everyone agrees . fantastic. It was originally Sir William Walton who was commissioned to write the films score, but then when they heard what Ron had composed, Walton was ditched and it caused a big fuss. A compromise was reached when "Battle In The Air" which is the silent part during the dogfights towards the end of the film was kept, and rightly so.
I became a pilot because of this film, still flying to this day.
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few!!"
Winston Churchill was so right - and this is a great film. Britain was truly AMAZING - standing alone in 1940. Talk about a Nation's Finest Hour!!!!
Best piece of music for a brass band. Ever.
My favourite film of all time i loved it as a kid and this music always got me stomping round the living room
I don't quite know how Ron Goodwin made this sound so quintessentially Teutonic, but it's a measure of his skill and talent that he did so and did it so brilliantly.
And so loved is this tune by the Germans, it's now an official March of the Luftwaffe and played often at events and passing out parades!
@@Trek001 Perfectly captures the swaggering bravado of the Luftwaffe prior to the battle.
Ha silver band play this in Crewkerne pub for my German girlfriend Sabina .
Whatever the tune was used for in the film, you can't take away that it's a cracking piece of music. I used to play this in a brass band and loved it :D
This and the theme to 633 Squadron gives me goose bumps! 👍🎶
You know, you could just sit back and, well I don't know, enjoy the music. That's what I'm doing. This is great music from a classic movie, that is all.
as an old air force member, I wish they would use this at Lackland AFB, where AF Basic is. It has the tempo for marching.
Now I have to stay up all night and watch the entire movie! Great music. Great movie.
Walton didn't write a bad note in all his life. A true genius.
Given it is called "Aces High", it is probably meant to be for All combat fliers. Used to represent the Luftwaffe respectfully. Remember, the film has Hugh Dowding saying "our young men have to shoot down their young men at 3 to 1"
Awesome! EXACTLY the piece I was looking for tonight. THANK YOU for having the good taste of posting this.
Beautiful march, sounds very German even though a British band played it XD
Matter of fact, it was specifically designed as a 'luftwaffe march' for the movie.
Much like Where Eagles Dare, give Ron Goodwin a German 3-engine plane and he'll give you something to power you up.
@@KomradeSeals ... 'das ist richtig, Herr Leutnant' ... "That is right , Lieutenant sir" !!!
@@patrickvanliere8690 ..What drivel!...Goodwin wrote it for the movie!
Its also know as the luffwarer march .
The perfect marching tune!!!
Still a great way to start my morning, with this march!
WELL DONE EVERYBODY, HOME FOR TEA,
Home and tea, not home for tea.
As a Drummer I love playing this march.
Excellent music, I've been searching for this for a while!
Brilliant 👏
T E R R I F I C march, going hand in hand with the early, memorable images of the BoB film. Many thanks!
Captures the bombast and arrogance of the Luftwaffe so well. They seemed invincible at that time but the RAF sure showed differently.
"Repit, pliz!"
Ab little correction to some of you:
This is a piece of (wonderful) soundtrack music, made especially for the movie.
The official march of the german airforce is "Fliegermarsch".
Good stuff. Ron Goodwin at his finast.
Just had to add this to my Playlist and to Facebook collection - really galvanises the spirits! Choosing any of my eight for a Desert Island will be even more of a challenge
Great music, and played in as good an introduction to a film as you’re likely to see. Top draw.
Ron Goodwin = Musical Legend
I always thought this would be great during commencement exercises from an institute of higher learning! Love it!
Such a magnificent piece of music.
The main theme of this march seems to be taken from / inspired by a part of the Badenweiler march, which was Hitler's favourite march. Check the the last third of that Badenweiler march, and you will hear the beginning of the main theme here.
Aces high is a very nice march anyway, with volume and tension. I have it as MP3 on my alarm clock.
This was played as the luftwaffe march for the movie
One of the best march songs ever - still a favorite ever since i first heard it
Thanks for the information. I had a friend who served in the "Herman Goering Division" in WWII, and he said the had never heard this march.
This really sounds like a German band playing (heavy tuba emphasis) I'd love to play this in my concert band class!
-congrats Germany for winning the world cup!
Everett m it doesn't matter about the World Cup.
I never said it did... Just enjoy the music. -__-
... My band is playing this and I'm the only brass instrument...
Please correct me if this is wrong, but as it was such a cracking piece of music, the German Luffwaffe have actually adopted as their Marche. And who says the Germans don't have a sense of Humour!
+Michael O'Brien And it was a German who composed the Scottish Pipe Band tune now paid as almost a 'national anthem' -' Highland Cathedral'.
I marched down The Mall to Buck House for the 50th Anniversary of The Battle of Britain to this piece of amazing music. I’m half German and was serving as an instructor at RAF Halton at the time. My Dad was a chief Tech Machinist in the RAF and helped with the film. The hairs on the back of my neck prickle when I hear this. It’s so Germanic
@@edlangley4660 sadly its as ersatz as higland cathedral and I'm Scots! glad you had a good day
superb. used to play the video just to hear this again. a real stomper.
barmybeth - I was 11 when this film came out. Loved the march ever since and thanks to youtube have "favourited it"!! Remember going with my pals to see this film umpteen times at the cinema. The aerial dogfight scenes were brilliant in it.
THANK YOU RON GOODWIN FOR A FANTASTIC GERMAN LUFTWAFFE MARCH!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful
Love this march. Im in a band and its excellent
Probably the best version I've heard.
I love this piece; it just gives a feeling of power and grandiosity. I tell you, you could play it over a video of a steam locomotive pottering around a shunting yard, and it would sound right at home, and immensely awesome.
I heard this exact same score at the Epsom Playhouse a little over a month ago where they had a birthday concert for Alec Walton's 80th birthday
Absolutely perfectly composed for the opening scenes...The Mighty Luftwaffe....and mighty they were.....however.....the rest is History.
They didn't have Spitfires, so basically they weren't that mighty, where they?....
Mighty???Explain please??
RAF Together with super marine spitefires and hurricanes coupled with Rolls Royce Merlin engines THIS WAS MIGHTY
They were BRAVE young men fighting for Germany! Remember the old adage...MY COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG.
Great stuff!
Probably the best marching music ever written!
Wow. Seventy-seven years ago yesterday. God bless them!
The engines overheating and so am I we either take of or stand down
this is WICKED im sticking it on my favs!
Amazing
A fantastic bit of music that you simply cannot stop yourself from "air conducting" to.
3:05 to 3:15 is a superb bit in a fantastic song.
funny how the Luftwaffe have their own March in this film
@LJBCRT Very Well put!! My complimetns!!
my band is playing this next week and I'm one of 2 clarinets in our band.....
ayy my band is playing this and I'm one of one tubas in our band....
Such brilliant music.
You do appreciate, Dowding, that Churchill will have to see this?
That's why I wrote it.
my band performed this song! ^^ and we sung it on the bus XD
Alas, I know practically nothing about music. I will check out the examples you have mentioned --- thanks for the info!
EXCELLENT SOUNDTRACK!
Indeed.
It's composed with "Johney Bells", a sort of vertical glockenspiel.... British military marching bands don't use them, But German ones do!
the luftwaffe march!!! my fav and the best march imo
Fabulous March. I didn't realise this was composed by the great Ron Goodwin as it screams German March to me. I love it ❤
lovely stuff! A bit like the story about the flagship of the spanish armada,which was said to have been sunk by a 'yorker'.
I play tuba to this all year round and its sooo funn❤
now thats what i call a song lol thanks for posting
Loved it timeless.
Fantastic bass part.
very nice!
Daga, daga, daga - don't fly straight and level in the combat zone
Pompous and seductive. I just listened to it ten times in a row and I still love it.
It's an insult to have to watch an ad for Chairman Wolf before any song.
thumbs up!
Aaah thanks for lighting that up, i really though it was authentic german march.
@HeartGoldMVP No, this was composed for the movie "Battle of Britain", however, the "Fliegermarsch" which was the march of the German Air Force since 1911 IIRC, is still played to this day.
interesting piece
The film is utterly fantastic. I don't try to be patriotic but it really does stir a sense of pride and patriotic fervour, it would teach the younger generation a thing or two about their rich heritage. However, what I was actually going to say is that it shows the fantastic contributions made by the commonwealth ( The battle would have been lost without them ) and equally our comrades in arms the Poles, Czechs, Slovakians, Belgians, French and Irish who gave their all to defend this Island.
This makes me want to goosestep.
I'm familiar with Walton, Wagner and Shostakovich at their most militaristic, but this is always going to be the best thing I ever heard
This is the perfect marching tune.
This should be the march of the Royal Air Force without doubt
Great music & great movie. 5*
"Dont just yell, ring like ell!!"
Estoy calentando el motor de mi 109 !!!
Sehr schöner Marsch
Bandits 20+ Angels 15,! Roger control. Tally ho chaps!!!!!
"Wir begrüßen Sie, im Namen der zweiten Luftflotte!"
