My father was the co-pilot on a B 24 nicknamed Flak Magnet, that Hans Baur shot down. It was his 200th kill. My father survived but became a POW. As my dads’ chute opened, Hans Baur turned around and headed straight for him. He passed underneath my father and wagged his wings as a salute and then flew off. I hate that he shot his bomber down, but grateful he didn ‘t shoot him in his chute.

This is something that I hadn't heard before. I knew who he was but hadn't heard his story before. He comes across as being an honest man with no reason to lie. Thanks for the making this available to those of us interested in history.

Always scanning for an emergency place to land. That is still good advice.

This channel has the best World War II content I’ve ever seen! I wish deeply that you would translate some of the videos from your German channel into English! That would be fantastic! Thank you so much for all of your content!

One of the best personal histories of the final days in the bunker. The Frederick the Great painting given to Bauer by Hitler survived - and can be seen at San Souci in Potsdam. There is no historical information presented with the painting!

On Sunday, June 19th, 1983, I was fortunate enough, (due to lucky family ties), to have been one of a large grouping of patriots, that was allowed to attend Hans Baurs 86th birthday celebration, in Munich. I received, along with others, a signed copy of Baurs autobiographical work: “Zwischen Himmel und Erde mit Mächtigen„. No book ever published, exposes the real truth of the events of those 12 astounding years. The work is available in English. "I was Hitlers Personal Pilot". It is a unique, and valuable testament to the real facts and events, in considerable detail, of the history in Germany from 1933, to 1945. If you are a serious student history, this book is a must!

Good video. It repeated itself several times. But other than repeating itself several times it was a good video 👍 😅

Wow, responsible for a wing of 40 aircraft and support crew, plus constant flying when all planning for destinations across much of Europe, weather and navigation was done manually, for 6 years. That's a lot of pressure to always deliver and never fail.
