A musical composition of absolute genius and talent. As an ex-music teacher, I used this theme to teach both the origins sought from histrocial German marching tunes from WW2 plus the layering of musical composition. At the time, my students hadn't even watched the film, let alone heard this theme. Ron Goodwin was a compositional titan of his time.
This piece of music by Goodwin totally captures Germanys pride and they're mind set of total invincibility at the eve of the battle of Britain . Pure genius and ironic to think that a Brit composed it . .
My dad took me to see this in the theater when I was 6 years old..stupid little kid I was, I had no idea what World War 2 was about, or the politics involved, I just thought the planes were cool as hell. Today, I enjoy the film for entirely different reasons. About this great march: in the context of the film it's the Luftwaffe's theme, but Ron Goodwin said that he wrote it to honor the combatants on both sides.
1963mathetes you were not stupid,you were just a kid. I saw it when it opened and I was eight. My dad was in the RAF in WW2...never told me what he thought of it.
@@jorjibob Same here, I was aged 9. My dad was a radio op. in 101 Squadron flying B24s against the Japanese. He taught me a great deal about WW2 but never really spoke about his own experiences.
The best ww2 film made the music is so fitting you can visualise the spitfires and hurricanes bursting through the clouds homing in on the Luftwaffe.A fine tribute too all those who sacrificed everything for our freedom we will never forget you.👏👏🙏🙏🙏
We certainly did. The Polish men in the RAF were some of the toughest, bravest and most aggressive pilots. True warriors and heroes of your nation. I just wish things had turned better for them and their country after the war. A terrible time.
We get hatred from some Poles not because we 'allowed' them to be invaded, but because Churchill and Roosevelt sold them out to Stalin after the War which meant they were under the Soviet jackboot heel until the USSR broke up in 1989 @@kyleJohn1997
Corporal where you taking those vultures ! Officer to the mess, NCO’s to the guard room sir. Like hell you are ! Their responsible for that mess, Get them to clear it up ! But sir, Give em a bloody shovel ! Skipper hates jerries. For the fans out there who grew up with this film.
From 2:28 until the very end, love it! Also, throughout the whole tune, you can march to the beat of the music. If I hadn’t known Ron Goodwin created this, I would of though it was an actual military tune.
Yeah, it's very much a 'Germanic March' in a style that goes back to at least Beethoven. Great thing about this being an original composition is that we get to enjoy a centuries old genre without the particular piece having been polluted by the Nazis...
The Third Marine Air Wing Band actually played this at a wing change of command ceremony in 1985 while we were passing in review. We all had a hankering for beer & bratwurst...
I can't recall how many times I was made to march past various AOC-in-Cs to this tune when I served in the RAF. I might as well have been in the Bundesluftwaffe.
This is going to be the song Hitler Rants Parodies plays when Goering stops eating, when Krebs stops pointing at maps/fish, when Jodl stops objecting, when Burgdorf stops drinking and when Fegelein finally dies.

This is the version from the original soundtrack, by Ron Goodwin. I downloaded it from Amazon a couple of years ago. I've checked for you mate, but for some reason it isn't the any more :s However Amazon has the CD on sale, so search for Battle of Britain: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] [Enhanced, Original Recording Reissued] (wanted to put the link up but RUclips won't let me). The tracks on the CD are the one's I downloaded from Amazon. Happy listening mate!
great music......soundtracks nowadays are abysmal compare to the great war film scores of the past :) (Where Eagles Dare; The Eagle has Landed; A Bridge Too far etc...)
My grandfather was born in Spain and while they were killing each other here 1936 - 1939 the rest of the other countries watched when it was their turn to go to war they forgot about Spain... and left it 50 years ago now they come to have fun... and I thought that we are all waiters and cooks
For us British the war ended 31st December 2006. On that day the massive financial dept owned to the US for all that food and raw material, was finally paid off with interest.
Kesselring was not a tall man, and the actor in the movie playing him had no resemblance whatsoever. Kesselring was called "Smiling Albert" and this actor never ever smiled.
My Grandfather was in the RAF in 1945, this played at his funeral in January, a wonderful man who I miss very much.
My grandad served in the army in Singapore in 1950 and my nan served in the WAAF in 1944 as a radar operator...
We salute him...
My Dad was in the RAF during WWII. A gunner in a Boulton-Paul Defiant (shot down twice) then went on to be a rear gunner in Lancasters.

Yes, he's real human. Thanks for your comments!
That was alot😊
One of the best movies I've ever seen, portraying a major chapter of WWII, with a soundtrack recording absolutly remarcable!!! 👍 👍 👍
Ebert trashed it so it must be a great movie .

Fantastic piece of music. It captures perfectly the German military might and pomp they had during the early years of the war.
We gave them brutal lesson back these days, eh English friends? :)
Greetings from Poland, the nation unconquered, with love to United Kingdom! :D
Love Poland
And we get hate from some Poles because we "allowed" Poland to be invaded
We certainly did. The Polish men in the RAF were some of the toughest, bravest and most aggressive pilots. True warriors and heroes of your nation. I just wish things had turned better for them and their country after the war. A terrible time.
And we certainly appreciated your help

Why would they dislike it? This tune plays during Luftwaffe scenes.
xD

It sounds like something the LW would perform. I wonder how the modern LW would fare in an air fight these days...

They use this at HMS Collingwood on divisions. I have marched to this many, many times.
Home and tea..for once you deserve it .well done everyone ...class film 🎥 ..by grace of God I'm grateful to be english 🙏
RIP Christopher Plummer .
I can't recall how many times I was made to march past various AOC-in-Cs to this tune when I served in the RAF. I might as well have been in the Bundesluftwaffe.
4th Reich bundesluftwaffe!
An exceptional film about one of he most important battles in WWII.

+Brecconable ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Fabulous Tune ! Especially so when matched with the swagger of the Luftwaffe at the beginning of the film .
"Achtung!" "Geschwader...stillgestanden!"
Every time I listen to this it gives me goosebumps
They make this song so damn good that i actually think this is an actual march that luftwaffe used during ww2

gotta be an all time favorite intro...rousing!
What a tune roaring.
Actualy the Luftwaffe March when the film was released. 'Aces High' from the PC World we now live in.
2:30 BEST MOMENT EVER!!
this is a great film
Both great pieces of music
"if i see one more bomber (we won't have a budget).."
*One More bomber ^^ and now ? xD
So funny.
Funny, but didn't Milch tell Kesselring "I wont recommend you for a promotion?
Best.Comment. Ever. :-D
It would be funny to see Angela Merkel's expression if they played this to her on a state visit. I think she would like it.
No she's a former East German politico no sense of humour
It would also be fine to see your face swimming away from Dunkirk...
@@literatoquevedo completely uncalled for but ok
@@neilcunningham795 Then I have to say that you don't know that our former Chancellor has a lot of humor.
I think she would too. It's very Germanic. I'm not sure but i have a vague recollection of it being for a Luftwaffe bit of the film. 🤔
It combines german jaggedness with british elegance.
They played this at a change of command ceremony at MCAS Beaufort.
Those of us who marched in the parade had a severe hankering for beer and brats after three rehearsals and the actual parade...
I believe this is also the official song of the Luftwaffe.
on My 1st LP cover, bought shortly after the movie showed at the Hoyts in Hurstville late 1960s, it was known as the "Luftwaffe March"...😎👍👍
I remember all that tonguing (2.30), loved playing this on my clarinet in Dryad Volunteer Band
You’re Grandfather served us well. What a Great Man!!!
This was meant to be a theme attributed to the Germans in this movie. It somehow became a British RAF March
Listening to this while flying my gotha bomber around in rise of flight.
If you can, get "Wings Over Flanders Fields" it is bloody hard but good/frustrating fun.
people would be amazed by just how many think this is an actual Luftwaffe march...
Lol i used to though the same too
It actually is now, they liked it so much the modern Luftwaffe adopted it.
Fun fact: In the german version of that movie, that part was replaced by the "Badenweiler"-March......dont ask me why...
Hitler's favourite march was apparently the "Badenweiler". Looks like the leopard didn't really change his spots all that much...
Brilliant
love this song
So brilliant love it.
I have it on DVD, I also have objective Burma, where eagles dare, battle ground, Kelly's heroes, merrils marchers, action in the north Atlantic, up periscope
Beto Fernandez what do you want, a medal?
what's your problem?
look, I'm a nice person, you don't want to see me angry trust me
I'm like David Banner the incredible hulk 1970 tv series, when he tells Mr Mcgee not to make him angry
Stephen hathaway HahAHahaha
Put this on my funeral
Uplifting.
"give em a bloody shovel "!
"Stillgestanden!!"
he was a film editor, he taught me how to tell if a movie was great or average
erhard milch smiling albert kesselring inspecting luftwaffe my favorite scene lead mercedes
Every time I hear this, I can't help but think of that banking Fokker triplane.
Always think about all the airfields and the knights in persons on both sides in all the planes

Music for me to wash up the dinner things!!!! Bandits 2 o'clock!!!!
This was the first piece of music used in the film
The 4 ridiculous, why they put not like?
Danke, mein lieber Kesselring!

113 paces per minute - a nice pace.
Perfect German military march, this.
+Simon Coles Written by Englishman Ron Goodwin for a film score.
+1faustus I know, but it's a very well done piece of music in the style of a Prussian military march.
Yeah, they are good at marshall music....Maurice H
"Osterkamp,Everything all right"
Does this remind anybody of the Midway March by John Williams?
great music......soundtracks nowadays are abysmal compare to the great war film scores of the past :) (Where Eagles Dare; The Eagle has Landed; A Bridge Too far etc...)

Stillestand!

Is this recording on Spotify?
If you search Ron Goodwin it should come up. I believe it's on the RAF 100th Anniversary Album
Und mein Opa hat in der Luftwaffe gekämft,und vielen englische flugzeuge abgeschossen
i will respect you if you can tell me without looking when the what year the second world war started
goodwin315vids 1939
depends on your point of view of the "world" If you were Chinese, there would be a good argument for 1937 with the Japanese Invasion
