    @InnaSoloMusic: Sabaton didn't tell the whole story.
    The whole reason that Franz saved the bomber, the B-17, that December day, was something Franz's Flight Training Officer had once told him: "If you ever shoot down a man in a parachute, I'll kill you myself." It was considered in the Luftwaffe to be cruel and inhumane to kill an enemy in a parachute, who was not a threat, and that day, Franz saw the damaged bomber as also not being a threat. Additionally, he escorted the bomber ahead and to the left, as the Luftwaffe had the protocol that any German pilot who captured an enemy plane was to escort them to a German airfield. Thus, by doing so, Franz essentially signaled to AA guns on the ground he had captured the B-17. That's why the AA guns on the ground didn't fire.
    After the two men met each other and became friends, Charlie Brown had the opportunity to attend a reunion of the 378th Bombing Group, his air unit from the war. He invited Franz to go, but Franz hesitated, thinking he had done nothing special. However, the admiration and recognition he got was humbling even to Franz. He was made an honorary member of the 378th, and when Franz again tried saying he had done nothing special, one of the wives of the surviving aircrew turned to him and said, "Look around you, Mr. Stigler. These men you saved have wives. Have children. Have grandchildren. All of those people wouldn't exist today, because of what you did that day."
    Inna, the thing is, these stories need to be immortalized. Because we are fast losing the men to the inevitability of death, and thus are losing the eyewitnesses who were there. Already, we have less than a thousand men left who fought at D-Day in 1944. In 2017, the last Night Witch of the Soviet Air Forces' 588th Night Bombing Regiment passed away. I have seen in my lifetime the last survivor of the Bismarck pass away, as well as the last survivor of the USS Arizona who was to be buried at the memorial in Hawaii.
    And as cliché as it may sound, we need to remember history so we don't make the mistakes of the past.
    Thank you for your wonderful reaction, Inna. As a military veteran and history student, it makes me very happy that there are people willing to remember history, even if it is in the form of a music reaction.

      And that's not the whole story of the two men either.
      Adam Markos and his co-author Larry Alexander wrote it all in their book "A higher call."
      It describes the lives of the two pilots, the events on December 20, 1943, their path to the end of the war and what happened afterwards.
      I cannot recommend this work highly.

      I'm German. My father, that passt away 2 years ago, was pushed into the war by the Nazi regime as a 16 year old boy soldier. They went to the eastern front with guns without ammo as kids. For heavens sake the war was over before they could reach the Frontline, so they decided to try to reach home, knowing well, if they don't stand and figth they can be hung as deserters. My father saved his mates life as he was unable to move any further. In Germany they were held as prisoners of war by the US. But as they were recognized as misled not really guilty kids, they were sent home after a few weeks or months of prison. Don't remember exactly the time my father told me.
      I met many eye witnesses in my own family. My father always said, the Nazis fooled and betrayed us, keep in mind he was a kid.
      Why do I tell this here?
      We have a worldwide uprising of rigth winged parties, spreading hate and agression, telling the people only their own country and race are important and good.
      We need to stop this and stand against right winged agression where ever they come up in the world.
      We all know history and especially a few of us that know eye witnesses.
      It's important that we speak up. Against hate, for the right to defend democracy.
      I'm sry for my imperfect English, but I think who wants to understand, will understand.
      Have a nice day

    Something I haven't seen anyone comment on is the line "... Said goodbye to the cross he deserved." This line is referencing the Knight's Cross, the highest award German military personnel could achieve. At the time of the incident, Franz was 3 points away from achieving that. Points were earned for every aerial victory (see enemy shot down), fighter planes were worth 1 point, bombers were worth 3. By choosing to spare Ye Olde Pub, Franz also gave up his chance at the Knight's Cross, something that he stated that he NEVER regretted.
    What Franz did also took a lot of balls. If anyone had reported him, it would have meant trial for treason and a summary execution by firing squad.
    So he did, in reality, risk his life 2 times that day. Once was getting in his plane to fight and the other was putting himself in danger to spare men he didn't know, that had just bombed his country.

    My favourite thing about this story is the fan who heard the song just happened to be the grandson of one of the men in the story… that’s a one-in-a-million chance. It’s a damn good song too, as are most all of Sabaton’s songs.
    Those B-17s were made of something else, they were pretty much flying half a plane on 1 functional engine!

    • @jamescurfman3284
      @jamescurfman3284 9 месяцев назад +4

      The engineers might have been scratching their heads as to HOW this thing remained air-worthy after all that damage. I bet they dis-assembled her, looker her over, re-assembled her, put her through a wind tunnel-like test to figure out the aerodynamics involved...got first-hand reports from the crew, of course...
      Just think, if the Right Aileron had been blown off instead of the Left Aileron, that plane might have crashed because ALL of the real propeller force was coming from the engine on the far left side (engine number 1). Or if any of the bullets that took out the air canisters had sparked, the plane would have exploded.
      With everything that happened to this poor machine, it really was a complete wonder that all of it happened in such a way as to allow it and most of the crew to survive. Damage upon damage upon damage, the chances, the percentile of survival got SO SMALL, and yet the plane landed well enough that the remaining crew members were able to get to safety.

      ​​@@jamescurfman3284: On American bombers, everything had redundancy. This was part of American plane design, even up to the design of the A-10 Lightning II, known as the Warthog. Put it this way: In 2003, US Air Force pilot Captain "KC" Campbell was patrolling over eastern Baghdad to assist two Marine platoons taking fire from across a river. Upon making two runs, she decided to make a third run -- only to have a Russian-made RPG-7 take out her right engine. Flying for 90 minutes on no hydraulics, she was able to get the A-10 back to base, using the mechanical redundancies to not only survive, but she was the only one to ever successfully land an A-10 without functioning air brakes. Later, after she debriefed, she saw the damage: More than 1200 rounds of small-arms and machine-gun fire had hit her plane, plus the damage to her right engine from the RPG-7. Fact is, the titanium "tub" that surrounded the cockpit saved her life, and the fuselage containing self-sealing fuel tanks kept the aircraft from exploding. How's _that_ for a damaged aircraft that still was able to fly?
      Part of why the planes were so tough was because of the mechanical backups employed in design and engineering. If you want to understand how a plane like the B-17 could be that damaged and still be flying, watch the movie "Memphis Belle," itself based on a true story. It shows and explains a lot about how bomber crews really did work together and accomplish their air missions, despite the risk of damage and destruction they faced.

    Sabaton's music hits harder because of the stories they tell, these are no fairytales or made up stories, these are historically factual stories they tell the world.
    And well... stories that actually happened, just hit differently, deeper and with more emotion.
    While the war was terrible... there still were moments of chivalry and honor, and this one certainly fits that bill.
    Franz did get something better that day, he indeed gained a brother, but he also saved his own soul by doing this that day.

    There so many more things to say about this incident.
    1/ I believe there was a standing order to not spare any plane or even pilot in a parachute. If anyone had reported the incident Stigler would most likely have been court martialed and shot
    2/ Stigler stayed with the B-17 to keep the AA gunners from shooting it down, not leaving it until they got to the coast. He first wanted them to land but they refused, he then wanted them to fly to Sweden as if was closer than Britain, but they didnt understand what he meant and continued to fly towards Britain
    3/ When fighting in Africa, Stigler was told by his commander, Gustav Rödel, that if you follow this order to shoot down helpless enemies I will shoot you myself. You will not follow this order to save the enemy but to save your soul because you will never forgive yourself. Stigler has said that he remembered this when he was thinking about shooting down the bomber
    4/ Brown told his commander when he was debriefed and to an intelligence officer. However he was ordered not to tell anyone and the whole thing was kept secret. There was two reasons for this, one was that they didnt want other bomber crews to think that the next german fighter would spare them, and the other reason was they they didnt want the enemy to be portrayed in a humane way.
    5/ Everyone in the B-17, except the initially killed gunner survived the war, with the last member dying in 2016
    6/ The reason Stigler didnt fire in the first place was that he saw that the tail gunner machineguns were pointing upwards, showing no one was using them. When he came closer he saw the dead tailgunner and when he got closer he saw that the mid section gunners were either injured or trying to save other wounded crew members.
    To me Stigler was a true hero and human who was in a war, but was still able to feel mercy

      The same way they survived the departure of three of the five band members in 2012. The heart of Sabaton is Joakim, who writes the majority of the music, and Par, who handles the business side and co-writes the lyrics with Joakim. Like the 2012 departure of the musicians who wanted to go a different direction and formed the band Civil War, this is an amiable parting, they will remain friends, possibly collaborate in future projects. Tommy, for all his talent a guitarist, is not a key band member and can be replaced.
