These are the eight points that Boelcke and von Richthofen used in the skies (source: Werner, Johannes von, 1932): 1. Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible, keep the sun behind you. 2. Always carry through an attack when you have started it. 3. Fire only at close range, and only when your opponent is properly in your sights. 4. Always keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be deceived by ruses. 5. In any form of attack it is essential to assail your enemy from behind. 6. If your opponent dives on you, do not try to evade his onslaught, but fly to meet it. 7. When over the enemy's lines never forget your own line of retreat. 8. For the Staffel (squadron): Attack on principle in groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for the same opponent.

Keep most of the pizza plain tomato Draw a large iron cross with mozzarella, and fill the inside of the iron cross with grilled ham. Should be close enough
I was flying a mission, we had a fucker on the right, a fucker on the left, and one coming up behind. You mean Fokker right? No, these fuckers were in Messerschmitts.
@pifnbnd fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill four in a day shot down with engines burning! Death from above, your under fire! Stained red as blood, he’s roaming higher! In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice! And the legend never dies... and he’s flying, and he’s flying, AND HES FLYIN! HIGHER, THE KING OF THE SKY, HES FLYING TOO FAST AGAIN HES FLYING TOO HIGH, HIGHER, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE *DUN DUUN* *DUN DUN DUN!*
While I'm all ready past the WW 1 segement of my History Class, please know that I will be using them next year as teaching tools. My students may not be heavy metal fans, HOWEVER the song lyrics help them remember important facts. Thank you, all of you (Sabaton, Indy, the film crew, the person who brings the coffee, and everyone else) from the bottom of my academic heart for helping History come alive and commemorating these deeds in song.
Well, as the person who brings the coffee (just kidding), you are very welcome! Thank YOU for educating the minds of the future ;) I'm glad we're able to help a little!
This channel is one of the most unexpected and amazing things to happen on the last many years! I can't believe we are getting so much early info about Sabaton songs!!
luckymouse1988 Sabaton songs seem to just feel like the topic they’re on, Red Baron is fast and heart racing like a dogfight and Bismarck is slow, powerful, and intimidating more like a warship
I was at the very spot he crashed 100 years to the hour after he died. It was surreal and one of the best parts of my trip to Europe. The community of people who had traveled all over the world to be there was amazing. Wish you guys could have been there. it was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life.
Witnesses say he did not crashed, he landed being hurt by the shot of a land trooper. But allies wanted to be thought it was their air fighters who got the red baron. His plane was dismanteled in part for that and because many people wanted a piece.
If you really wanted to know something about Manfred Von Richthofen, you could have read a book about his person or look him up on Wikipedia. But yeah, reading is hard, so much harder than getting his story told on RU-vid.
I love how you expanded the story of the Red Baron. I remember my grade 9 history teacher would try to debunk wrong theories throughout WWI, especially about the Baron. History textbooks only go so far and a percentage of the information is normally one-sided or inaccurate.
Thanks! We do what we can. Still, also we are limited by our sources and we don't always have time to go back to the primary sources.. But luckily many very professional historians do.
And it’s fabulous that you can do this. Some people don’t realize that researching such subjects can be very time and monetarily consuming. But what is offered (hopefully) will ignite that spark to encourage others to keep learning.
Absolutely. It's not at all cheap to hire the team that is needed to research, write, shoot, edit, publish and manage this. Quality content, especially content requiring a lot of research, takes a lot of hours to make, and only 16 minutes to watch.
The Australian unit that actually acted as h the Honor Guard during the Red Baron's funeral actually have a patch now that features a red bird falling from the sky.
My son and I can't wait to see our updated Sabaton History each week! If you are able please support the channel via Patreon, it's definitely worth it!!
When my son is ready to learn about history I am using Sabaton's songs and Sabaton history to help teach him. He is only 6 right now and has Autism, but when he's ready for it he's going to know more about history than perhaps even his teachers.
Lol i know people with autisim There realy nice and great! So smart! Im 13 and have a type of autisim of a sort..... Lol Good on you for spending time with your sun and enjoying sabaton! 🤘🤘🤘 Btw sabaton your my favourite band ever😉
Awesome, thanks. My take on the legend of von Richthofen as the Red Baron: The idea of flying has fascinated people forever. Da Vinci (and even earlier genius inventors) tried to create machines to capture the skies. Then, when the first real airplanes came out, it seems logical to me that the heroes who dominated this new fighting fields were rockstars, so it is fitting that a pilot would be the "positive" symbol of WW1. Now, while there were many highly successful fighters from that time, I can't think of one that has such a fascinating story. From looking invincible to his opponents in times to taking something to the head, being blinded and still managing to land the plane safely, to come back and continue to be one of the best fighters in the air, to dying under unclear circumstances, to be so respected by his foes that they even give him a full honored burial, ... all of this is the stuff of legends, and even if details go missing for many people, legends usually never die (especially if they are also combined with such a ringing name like "Red Baron")
Red painted machine of Richthofen: Funny, the well-known strict and formal prussians and other germans of this time, had the gaudiest painted aeroplanes. They had all kinds of colors and designs, often against all military regulations. Yes, there where regulations of camouflage, issued by IDFLIEG (Inspekteur der Fliegertruppen = controller of the air force), but many pilots broke these rules. One of them, a jew, had overall painted the solomon´s star, another one, also a jew, had his siemens-schuckert painted with a huge swastika, Goering had a snow white fokker D7, Ernst Udet had written in huge letters on his upper wing the words "du doch nicht!" (meaning, no opponent could get him). Alllied flyers painted there aircraft not in this excessive ways, they stucked more to the regulations with the exception of some insignias of their squadron (like the lufberry squadron with theyr "hat in the ring" and so on.)
If you make an official video of this song, you need to beg Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden to fly his Fokker Triplane in it(yes, he owns and flies a Fokker Triplane... you can't get much more rock star than that)!
Sometimes, a man's story is forgotten, his legend enduring as the only semblance, but the Baron, both his legend and story endure far beyond the limits of his life
Not true I knew about the Red Baron long before that. Those cartoons didnt come out until I started college. Interest in airplanes automatically brought knowledge of the Red Baron.
Iced Earth had a song about him before Sabaton, called "Red Baron/Blue Max" on their Glorious Burden record. The subject of the Red Baron could be, or maybe, be like the Aces High of WW1.
The last words of the Red Baron were/included “alles kaputt” which means “everything broken” I also saw another source that said it was just “Kaputt” which means “broken” but, he’s still a legend and a king of the skies.
I keep coming back to listen to the Snippets every day! But please just gives the whole song! This is like you just delivered a five star foreplay just to roll over and sleep when things was about to get serious! I am pretty sure that this song will be a top 5 for me and that's after only listen to those 20 seconds for hundreds of times!
As a kid, watching things like the Peanuts, I saw the Red Baron as Snoopy's nemesis. I never knew or heard of his story beyond that he was a fighter pilot when I was young. When I was in high school and college I learned a little more but what really brought him into my mind was a novel by Jeff Shaara, part of which was told from Richthofen's pov. I loved the song from the moment I heard it... and when I hear so do my kids, people in the gym at work when I'm there, and coworkers stuck in the work truck with me whilst navigating the snow and mud on very, very bad forest roads....
I never knew about the Red Baron. After just seeing Sabaton live I just had to know what the story was. They had an organ piece looking like a red plane and a guy in a pilot's suit and all!
@@SabatonHistory You're welcome ;) Can't wait to see Sabaton in Seattle this October. You guys are inspiring to my hunt for History and hopeful future RU-vid Channel. You change so many lives and you all better know it. 💓
As my favorite band I'm so glad these guys are getting real big. I've been to every nyc show they did and each time they get better. I also thank them for giving me a guitar pick for my collection. It's next to my Motorhead and overkill picks.
Just got a notification a few minutes ago. Someone liked my comment. I don't think this is going to work. This site used to be good, Google run it into the ground.
Useful addition to what i learned at the War Memorial last year with the WW1 Australian Aviation display that had a small section about him and some of his flying gear.
Another great episode (why do I sound so surprised? 😂)!!! Thanks guys great job yet again! Song sounds great.... these teases of the album are enjoyably torturous 😉😍 just over 2 months to go ughhhh!!!
I am new to Sabaton ... and I regret all those years I didn't know about their music. Do they have a song about the JU 87? I love that plane .. so iconic.
The highest-scoring pilot ace of WWI. 80 kills. Would be interesting if you guys did a song about Erich Hartmann and Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the highest-scoring pilot ace and the most highly decorated soldier of WWII.
This feeling, that you know about Verdun, Soma, Pashendale, Brusilov strike about Joffre, about Kaiser, Nicolas 2, Gavrilo Princip, Josef 2 (sorry for mistakes - I'm write how it sound in our language), but nothing about Red Baron.
Sabaton is my favorite band for many reasons but the mix of my favorite history with my favorite type of music is just amazing rock on Sabaton or should I say metal on
What you guys said about the Red Baron is really true, we don't really go into his story anymore-I didn't even know the full story until now and a couple of digs into history. So thanks! Also I do agree, bright red plane coming out of the sky on your tail would have been utterly terrifying to see in WWI.
I'm so happy to have a good version of this legends story to show my friends we all actually flew the colors of the flying circus in battlefield 1 my friend was our red Barron and damn did he do the colors proud (at least as much as he can in a game) I dont think he ever went down and hes got well over 2500 battle stars with the fighter.
Обожаю вас ребята! Вы лучшие! Больше хеви-металла и истории! Благодаря вам, подвиги людей будут жить и распространяться в массах! Именно так и должно быть! Надеюсь попасть на ваш концерт 2020 Санкт-Петербург. Удачи вам и Спасибо!
I had no freaky opinion about WW1, and, of course, Red Baron, before Sabaton. Thanks to them of my modern knowledge. Make your stand for more and more!
@@SabatonHistory buuuuut... If you release Red Baron early, it can be my favorite song until July 19th... And Manfred Von Richthofen's birthday is in May, so what better way to celebrate him than releasing a new single?
