Erich Hartmann the World's Greatest Flying Ace
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2021
- Despite his cavalier attitude and lack of discipline, Hartmann’s training officers realized that he was an immensely talented pilot, and tolerated his behaviour.
He flew more than 1,400 missions enabling him to score an astonishing 352 victories.
Hartmann’s reputation had grown so immense that when many Soviet pilots saw the notorious Mes-serschmitt Bf 109 approaching they would turn tail and head home.
This flying menace had to be stopped, but no one ever did. Erich Hartmann's record will never be broken.

@@zera5895 is there something you want to talk to me about my anime-loving friend?
Earlier this year I met a retired USN pilot and he met Erich heartman but the thing is he did not know who he was. Erich never went around telling people his accomplishments and he never told story's of his exploits. It was only after the fact when he realized who he was. I was told Erich was more of a "no you talk" it seems to me he was very humble and a great person regardless who he served for.
Humility is greatness in God's eyes
In war you fight for your home country. Even if you dont agree with your leader.
Indeed, he wasn't a loudmouth. Like I mentioned in another comment, Hungarian fighter pilots who served next to his unit also remembered him fondly, as a very friendly guy who never boasted. However, once a Hungarian Bf-109 pilot asked him about his secret of success. Hartmann suggested they should go on a combat sortie together. The Hungarian should find an Il-2 and attack it. "Never mind anything, don't even look around, just stay on target, and I'll cover you", he said. They went up, and the Hungarian successfully shot down a Shturmovik. Only when they landed he learned that "Bubi" shot down not one, but three Soviet fighters from behind him! He never even saw them.

This guy is so good that the most dangerous thing that happened to him was friendly fire
Actually, not. He was grounded (crash landing) I think 7 or 8 times and he had a hell of a luck...luck is very important issue in soldier's life and there are many examples of it, some of the most famous were major Winters, Joachim Marseille (officials claimed maybe the biggest talent...whom luck abandoned), Hans Urlich Rudel (for me, the best of all the pilots of all the times), etc...its, as always in a life a matter of a luck and the cards you've been given on the start of the game (your born)
his tactic of not squeezing the trigger until the enemy plane entirely filled his gunsights was what got him so many kill but it was also why he crashed so often.... the enemy planes basically exploded and their debris hit his aircraft so he crash landed a lot. But new planes were cheap
@@mikepette4422 i agree, and as I read about his life and career, he was not engaging dogfight but jumping on the enemy from the high...his attitude was that the dogfight is for idiots who wont survive. And each time he somehow was forced to stay in a longer fight than was his tactics, he was jumped by the enemy and hit...but all these fighter aces are in my honest opinion, kindergarten comparing one hans ulrich rudel if you count all aspects of war (damage done to the enemy in manpower and techique, direct and brutal contact in a combat, etc)
Luck follows the brave.
@@cinegraphics agree, but that doesn't change the facts. There were many more brave than him but did not survive

This man success has 2 main reason.
1st he was a very Intelegent and Talented man.
2nd he was a very disciplined man that obeyed by his own rules of engagement. Were 2 very simple rules if followed with precision the result was in 99 % of the cases a good day for "you",and not a "pleasent " one your opponent.
1st rule : Always,but Always attack with the sun behind you.
2nd rule : don't engage in Dogfights because its a waste of time,fuel, Ammunition and ultimately can be your demise. Go always for your target,and after the job done full throttle on your way home.
That's why this guy was so Efficient in his line of work.

Margrit Waltz, a legendary ferry pilot with 900 transatlantic ferry flights, had Hartmann as her flight instructor when she was a 17-year-old student pilot on Cessna 150. She said that with Hartmann as her instructor, circuit patterns in the Cessna 150 were made with very tight turns and often pulling up to 4G’s… One heck of an experience for a PPL student pilot!

My father served as a radar engineer on F86s under Erich „Bubi“ Hartmann at Bundeswehr Luftwaffe JG71-Richthofen in the late 60s. Dad often told stories about Erich Hartmann and I literally inhaled all kinds of books about him throughout my entire childhood.
I had the tremendous honor of meeting him as a young boy in 1988, when we were on vacation in the area around Erich Hartmann’s last known address. We didn’t call ahead, just rang the bell, the door opened up, and after just two or three seconds of recognition time he asked my dad „Rolli, bist Du das?“ ... that was the first time I have seen my dad cry. ...

Sabaton's 'No Bullets Fly' is about that, too.
My favorite quote by Hartmann: „All of my achievements aside, what i am the most proud of, is that ive not even once, lost a wingman“
Pure bs!!! Hartmann lost Günther Capito, who was his wingman. Hartmann's legends are full of fiction and fairy tales. He did not shoot down a Yak-9 over Brno on May 8, 1945 since the Soviets lost no fighters in the entire area that day and so on. Reading the comments here makes it obvious that most people here are not military researchers/historians, only 'fans' of Hartmann who just repeat the old propaganda about him.
Any sources to prove what you're saying? Because you can't find anything for capito on the internet except for him still serving in the air force in the 60s so it looks like you're the one writing bs.

” I never cared much for dogfight. I would never dogfight with the Russians Get the highest altitude and if possible come out of the sun…. Ninety percent of my attacks were surprise attacks." ~Erich Hartmann
All the top aces of WWII avoided dog fights where possible, and developed ambush tactics. They thought dog fighting was a dangerous and low-yielding thing to do.
though you'd be interested to know that the man sitting at 2nd place, Gerd Barkhorn, was a master dogfighter and came close to overtaking Hartmann's score at one point were it not for his injuries in mid-1944.
amazing how the comment after yours was that Hartmann was the greatest fighter pilot ever
@@MarvinT0606 ...it if were not for his getting shot while dogfighting....
this is a stupid thread...he just followed Boelckes' rules
@@MarvinT0606 Well, I'm not saying Hartmann wasn't a great dogfighter. He was. Just that he avoided dogfights. So did Barkhorn. Barksorn was once shot down by a a Soviet fighter he didn't see. He saw a formation of Soviet bombers and didn't see the escorting fighters. He went after the bombers and one of the fighters he didn't see got him. He didn't loose a dogfight, he lost Situational Awareness.
The reason why they didn't dogfight is one
They were outnumbered
Two when dogfighting your slow so it's easy for the other fighter to get you
A fine tribute to one of our best. As usual, your animation is beautiful. Thanks also for using "victory" instead of "kill". This not only mirrors the German term "Luftsieg", but also expresses a difference of attitude.

@@user-tj3cy8kd7l There is one case I can think of, although that is a matter of debate. Franz Stigler, who had 27 victories to his name on 20th december 1943, scored no more after the famous incident on that day where he spared ye Olde Pub, a badly damaged B17. Given his skill and experience, this is odd.
It is not clear whether he conceded his own victories to other pilots or limited himself to supporting them so they could in fact shoot down enemies themselves. It is however clear that he still did his duty, flying in the end with Galland's jet fighter unit, but was no longer interested in raising his own tally.

5:11 you can’t blame that infantryman for shooting at hartmann, according to his biography he says that german base has been raided by soviets six days before hartmann was there, and they spoke perfect german and lied about how they escaped from the soviet pow. They then pulled out smg’s, and killed six men
Something worth to mention here is when Hartmann was to be given the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds from Hitler himself. The guard outside told Hartmann to leave his side arm outside before meeting HItler. Hartmann threatened to decline to Knight's Cross by replying to the guard,"If the Fuehrer doesn't trust his soldiers, then maybe he should stick the Knight's Cross up his ass!"
Hartmann was pretty drunk that day and even wore Hitler's hat. Hartmann impression of Hitler is he thinks Hitler is a disturbed man.'''
Edit : @Yarnhub, it would be nice if you guys also make a video about Hans Joachim Marseille, The star of Africa. The german pilot who achieved 17 kills in a single day, triple ace. Hartmann himself admitted Marseille is a better pilot.
A security measure caused by the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt on 20 July 1944. Hartmann refused and threatened to decline the Diamonds if he were not trusted to carry his pistol. After consulting Oberst Nicolaus von Below, Hitler's Luftwaffe adjutant, Hartmann was allowed to keep his side arm and accepted the Diamonds.
Very true story!
I know very well this story but I don't remember he was mentioning Marseille as a better pilot but I do know that he highly regarded Gerhard "Gerd" Barkhorn, Günther Rall and other great pilots that knew each other well...
Bro, also, a video on Erich Rudorffer, who killed 18 in one day, the highest ever
Is that the pilot who was killed bailing out when his new model 109 malfunctioned ? If so he was a brilliant pilot.
Man what a kick in the teeth, The guy was an honorable pilot. Only to be charged with war crimes by the vengefull soviets. Very glad he lead a peacefull life afterward.

If I remember correctly Hartmann was actually charged with destroying expensive Soviet aircraft as well as strafing a bread factory, although the bread factory charge was made up if I'm correct.
the funny thing about those charges is the Soviets claimed that whenever he missed a plane, the bullets would fall to the ground and hit someone or something, that's why they charged him for strafing ground targets
He didn't start combat until 1942. Making his 352 kills even more incredible.
He did fly over 1,000 combat missions.
He is not facing P51, so can become Ace.
@@user-bj1id4tp3i The me 109 had the highest power to weight ratio of any fighter . It wasn't that the p-51 was a better fighter plane, it was the fact that they had a long range and there were so many of them .

@@user-bj1id4tp3i wrong, ok. 🤣
The me109 didn't have the range to fly back and forth across the English channel and engage for more than a few minutes(weaknesses was no drop tanks, which p 51 mustangs had, BTW.). Spitfires were great for shooting down stukas and twin engine German bombers.
By the time the p51 entered the air war , the luftwaffe was spread so thin that they couldn't match the numbers on any front.
The me 109 was first in service in 1935, the p51 first service was 1942, so of course more me109s were produced.
Fact remains, the greatest (kills) fighter pilots flew the me109. A plane that had the best power to weight ratio of any aircraft produced in ww 2, and Eric Hartmann will always be the highest scoring ace in military history.
Now that you did the Red Baron (Manfred von Richthofen) and the Black Devil (Erich Hartmann), you must now do the Night Ghost, Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, the highest scoring night fighter pilot.
Rudel flew 2,530 combat missions claiming a total of 2,000 targets destroyed; including 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, a destroyer, two cruisers, one Soviet battleship, 70 landing craft, 4 armoured trains, several bridges and nine aircraft which he shot down.
Rudel never served as a fighter pilot... He flew a ground attack aircraft such as the ju87 and the up armored ground attack version of the bf109. Btw rudel was very much indoctrinated... Blueprint of a nazi at that time
Рудель тоже дутый пузырь😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful, history will give a place in tite to this youtuber! Thank you.
Fun fact: eric used to paint a black tulip on the propeller, this made Soviets recognize his plane and avoid combat with him,later he took a normal plane and gave his plane to a another pilot
Soviet nickname for him was( black devil )
Bs, you can't see the exactly paintings of planes in air combat, especially for his flight style its untypical to even see him. Moreover it was a bounty on his head so no one avoided him, they would be even happy to murder him + giving the plane to a newbie meanwhile u have a bounty on your head is pretty gruesome. It's just some bullshit myth story from a pseudo book written by a hartmann fanboy who spoke a bit with him(nope it was not a close friend).
The typical propaganda crap is similiar to Pokryshkins story when they radioed into all frequency that "the 100" is hunting again so the germans were too scared to take off.
Therefore don't believe idol making stuff, especially fighter pilots have that struggle that ppl make them into untouchable killing machines who do super cobra maneuvers in their animations and outmaneuver everyone with broken physic there, the truth is that he mostly shot them from low 6 at close range down and then zoomed way without being able to tell if he really shot them down(even if its quite possible with that range)
@@ariannescharfi9366 the bounty was 10000 rubbles ,his plane was given to a newbie but not for a long time,then he later had symbol erased because Soviets get reluctant to engage when they see the black tulip design in his squadron, and about the bounty a soviet flying ace called major valdmir semenishin tried to cash in but got added to hartmen kill collection and yes most Soviets refrained attacking him eventhough he had a bounty on his head ,this mostly happend in between 1943 or 1944 when he made a name for himself and he was called the black devil by soviets (cherniy chort) .i do apologize, the only mistake I made earlier is stating the design was in the propeller but as I looked it up it said engine cowling (to be honest I don't know what that means)also I got the info from the wiki 👍

I thought the closest eric hartman came to death was when he was forced to fly the f-104 starfighter
The F-104 was not a bad airplane, just the wrong choice for the West Germans. They used the thing as a ground attack aircraft and that was where the problems were. He was very vocal about it and well he was invited to retire. The F-104 was designed to climb fast, fly fast, and intercept in commoning Soviet Bombers, it could do that well, anything else it was a dog. The F-16's would come along soon after. This was all done at the time when Robert Mcnamara was the Sec. of Defense. Most incompetent guy ever to hold the position. But that was not enough, LBJ sent him over to the World Bank to screw things up there too.
@@GeorgeSemel Well, it also did have a controls locking up issue and did have terrible maintenance rates
lol
Funfact: Hartmann himself opted for the Mirage III, was very outspoken about buying the F-104 being a mistake for its intended purpose and, ultimately, was forced out of the air force for being too much of a nonconformist. He could have (or should have) made General easily. Yet it wasn't his way.

Even Yellow 13's Su-37 livery pays tribute to Hartmann's plan with its grey and yellow camo. Their personalities are also similar: extremely talented pilots who nevertheless are humble about their achievements and pride themselves over their ability to keep their wingmen safe.

@@Leadblast Yes, he is also another real life ace who inspired Yellow 13, hence I used the word 'one of the aces'. Both Hans Joachim-Marseille and Erich Hartmann are inspirations for Yellow 13.
In Marseille's case, the inspiraions are the callsign Yellow, his love for music, and experiencing the loss of a close friend in combat (though this could easily applies to most of WW2 pilots, really).
In Hartmann's case, there's the 'yellow and grey' livery, the claim of never losing a wingman, and being the top ace of the war. Also, there is a special ace named 'Erich Klinsmann' who appears in Ace Combat Zero and flies an Su-37 with Yellow 13's livery.
There's a rather popular theory that suggests that Erich Klinsmann is actually Yellow 13, who after being shot down during the Belkan War, fled to Erusea and assumed a new identity. He also only appeared on the Knight route of 'Mayhem', the same mission that features cameos of Grabacr, Ofnir, Huckebein the Raven, and Heartbreak 1 in other routes. Since Yellow 13 is noted to be a pretty noble pilot, him appearing on the Knight route fits this nicely.
This comes back to the name itself: if Erich Klinsmann is indeed Yellow 13, then his real name is really similar to Erich Hartmann as well, with the only difference being one word in his surname.
@@guts-141 An Ace Combat game set during the golden era of aviation would be awesome, yeah :). I would buy it in a heartbeat. And though there is technically The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, personally I would prefer it more if there's an actual Ace Combat game that took place in the past and we get to fly classic planes.
My grandfather flew a few raids against Ploesti when he was based in Foggia, Italy with 37Squadron flying Wellington MkX. I have his logs on these missions which are incredible. He was awarded a DFM on a mission and survived the war. Brave man, who rarely spoke about it afterwards.
Children killers?
Excellent work Sir
When will this Ace get his own Sabaton song?
He would be the villain of the song, because Sabaton does not honor the Nazis.

Manfred Von Richtoffen would be Proud, And He Still Flew after the war Ended, IN A FECKING JET, Props To Hartmann, May he Fly Amongst The Legends Like The Exiled Polish And Czechoslovakian Divisions, The Red Baron, Voss, and Charlie Brown with Franz Stiegler, May you go down in History Respected!
Hartmann flew in the Red Baron JG 71 Richthoven" squadron
snoopy is objectively a better fighter pilot than charlie brown
No matter what, legends in military air forces will always earn my respect, any side.

I remember reading that his approach with the IL-2 was to get in close and below so that he could shoot up the oil cooler - one of the few vulnerable spots on that flying tank.
What I love about Yarnhub is that he looks at the bravery and skill of every soilder rather then just one side. Everyones know the majority of the heros of the Allies but almost nobody knows anything about the heros of the Axis. After all, we are all people and I really appreciate that he's telling their stories as well.
I second the wanting to hear more about history from the other guys point of view.
Especially when it comes to aces… aces with most victories are all Germans… like we are speaking top 100 aces with most kills all being German luftwaffe pilots.
tf u mean, german ace tank commander, general, field marshall, ace pilot, commander are all famous
I’ve found yarnhub amazing at being able to captivate their audience while teaching history, even some of the war stories I’ve heard before are shown in different points of view and elaborating more on them. Ive binged watched every video on RUclips and look forward to every new upload!
Hartmann didn't waste ammo. Illushin Il-2 Sturmoviks were well armored - except for the rear of the engine oil radiator. A few hits there would start an oil leak. No huge explosions or roaring fire, the engine would simply run for a few more minutes, then seize-up and the plane would go down.
So by losing thrust from the engine the plane also immediately loses all lift. You clearly know what you’re talking about.
350+ . 😮😮😮😮 Now that a record and never gonna be broken
Спасибо Yarnhub за отличные видео и истории, которые вы в этих видео рассказываете!
And out of all his victories against soviet aircraft, You show a P51 getting show down in the trailer XD
Woah funny seeing you here Smigol :DDD
Not all of them
@@kirankhan7789 I know not all, but about 346 kills were done against the soviets so xd
OMG Smigol time it,s you huge fan !
Hello Sir, Have a nice day!
It’s crazy that everytime they upload the content gets better and better. Over the two years I’ve been subscribed to them it always gets me excited to see a new notification pop up
Regardless of friend or foe, soldiers like him deserve a salute of respect!
1:08 THIS SCENE IS SO EPIC!
Edit: The animators are so talented keep the good work YarnHub!
Just by looking at the title I can tell this is going to be a good one
Thank you Joseph, please don't kill me
please don’t send me to gulag
Good to know you respect good rivals, comrade stalin, you are the big boss after all.
and i am a jet from ur country stalin
Real talk why'd you leave him in prison for 10 years?
I hope his great grandson doest end up grinding in War Thunder
He probably is sadly lol
Wor Tondere momente
this guy gives DEATH FROM ABOVE a whole new meaning
I'm impressed that the tulip is Hartmann's cowling in this animation.
Yarnhub, you are really getting on point with these aerial animations! As a humble student pilot I can say that everything seems more and more real and immersive. I was amazed at the shots and angles of the aerial scenes. You definitely managed to picture what it is to fly an airplane. The bailing-out scene with the parachute silk movements when opening was amazing! Also the crash landing scene with the way the plane floats in an unstable way before touching the ground was just so realistic! All these small details (like the prop ramming the ground in this sunflower field) are what make your videos so enjoyable to me! And you keep producing these at such a rate! This channel is a kid’s dream, thank you for the stunning work.
I love yarnhub the content your team puts out is amazing I just wish that other people had the view.
Ein absoluter Profi in seinem gebiet. Er gehört nun mal zu den besten:)
What an amazing pilot. And from what I have read and heard a courageous and a good man. Not a Nazi. Nice work.
Ah yes. The beauty of G E R M A N S T E E L.

Little flaw here
The 109 canopy opens to the side, not the back
True however by the G6 varient I'm pretty sure they had a quick release canopy that came off altogether for when the pilot needed to bail out.
@@ThermicLight it also jettisons
Didn’t he fly a late bf 109 g6/ g10 in 1944 with the updated canopy. The one depicted looks like a early one.
I’m pretty sure that JG52 flu K4s in late 1945
@@ThermicLight I think every 109 has
The SVT rifles at 5:55 are a nice touch.
One legend to I a other!
Without watching the video, can tell it is gon be an interesting 1.
The warrior who lived 10yrs in the gulag
I like how Erics bf 109 g6 looks. Good paint job. And the P-51 is my favorite plane of ww2 and my second favorite plane from ww1 is the fokker dr1. And R.I.P P-51😔😔.
Hey Yarnhub, not to be nitpicking or anything, but at 1:58, when it shows Hartmann bailing out, that’s not how a Bf109’s canopy opens. It shows it being slid back, but the canopy would actually open to one side.
Cool, you have managed to animate the hoses on the pilots face mask. Not sure when this upgrade was implemented, but this was the first time I have noticed. Good job.

@@blustu290 sos bruh
Those loops he drum rolls are superlative 🎉🎉🎉
Now he was a true champion of the air 👍👍👍great story
Hartmann was like the Second World War version of myself. Both took first place, German, skilled in air combat, and had started our careers on the eastern front. Only thing is that I died, and he survived the war.
So, if there was a Australian machine gunner Hartman would’ve gotten clapped? 🤣🤌🏻
@@kinocorner976 Hartmann was lucky he ain't over Tobruk, else he would've been 6 feet down under.
Cringe. Don't say "myself", it's disrespectful.
The worst part is you lost to a beagle flying on top of his doghouse
Oh nice meeting u
some years ago, when I was still in early high school, I got around to reading about Hartmann and was fascinated about his stories. The book I read didn't have his picture, though, and I didn't look him up in Google, so I never really knew about his physical appearance.
A roommate in my dorm later brought a manga series called "Kaiser Z" (or "Tenchuu no Hasha Z" in its original Japanese title if you wanna look it up), and in that manga, was my first ever impression of Erich Hartmann. Basically Steve Jobs, with thicker beard and shades, and a scar on his left eye. I remember it being a fun read, and I'm on my way to get the entire series bought.
Congratulations on your 100th birthday, Mr. Hugo Broch! 06.01.22 . He is the best fighter Pilot alive with 81 victorys. All the best and health! Or as we aviators say „Hals und Beinbruch " ! As far as I know, you are the last living fighter pilot with a knight's cross.
Hartman never committed any wars crimes ….. he was a warrior , respect 🙏
The Soviets: ( locks Hartmann in prison)
Years later
Also the soviets: unbans him
Discord in a nutshell
I mean I can slightly understand their feelings. The Soviets were wrecked by the war with so much infrastructure and their families and friends lost so many people wanted revenge. Its understandable. If he was free he would probably be killed by red army troops in vegence
@@danishkfd you watch and comment on F1 videos bro ?
No, the Soviets, the communists had a grudge against him. But not the Russian federation that replaced it.
Hartmann took a ban for being false-flagged and harassed by angry mods
The animation just keeps on getting better and better, can't wait to see the next video!
Ein großer Mann, und Ausnahme Pilot ❤ der seine Frau Uschi immer in einem Herz auf seine Flugzeuge gemailt haben wollte. Leider sind beide bei einem Verkehrsunfall ums Leben gekommen, RIP, Ruhe in Frieden .
Sie haben bei Experten die falsche Wahl getroffen.......Sie starben nicht bei einem Unfall, Erich an einem Gehirntumor und Usch drei Jahre später......Gerhard Barkhorn und seine Frau kamen bei einem Unfall ums Leben
I never believed that a machine like the Bf-109 would be so beautiful
Your dogfighting animations are simply exquisite. Makes you feel the awesome grace and tension at the same time
"Don't let the group [government] speak for the people. Let the people speak for the people."
Hartmann might've been a fighter ace for the Nazis, but his accomplishments are still admirable.
yea
Considering Europe today
Would the nazis still be considered bad
