Love the footage, he was a great fighter pilot and one of the great characters of the Luftwaffe. I am lucky enough to have a few war time photos of Galland and part of a BF 109 that he crashed in Pas de calais. One of only two crashes that he had.
he was not only general or the airforce durring world war 2 but also after world war 2 he was never accused of war crimes he was just a soldier who fought for hes country..
It's not an F-2, it's a very unique F-6/U, not to be mixed up with the F-6 version which was a reconnaisance version.
Basically identical to the F-4 with a DB601E engine of 1350PS at takeoff and 2xMG17s in the cowling, 1xMG151/20 firing through the propeller hub and what made this plane unique: the pair of MGFF/M cannons in the wing
Only one piece of this odd version was ever made and its sole user was Galland
0:09 Dressler was killed, what an irony

Adolf Galland reminds me of a Hollywood actor of the early 1900's.
