The World War II Ace Found Still in His Cockpit After 24 Years

No matter how good you are,there's always someone better. That goes for a lot of things in life. Much respect for all who fought in WW 2....on all sides.

p51 mustangs were no match to the spitfire so you are wrong for example the mustang climb rate was slower than the spitfire and the spitfire was faster than the p51 in speed 448mph while the p51 was 437 mph .
the major floor of the mustang it had limited high altitude performance , so operations was restricted below 15,000 feet so get of your high horse.
It was a matter of luck that you got the guy.
he was not shot down by the p51 mustang as you believe it was a P-47 Thunderbolt fighters of the USAAF 56th Fighter Group
here is the true story of the man the detailed who took him down P-47 Thunderbolt fighters of the USAAF 56th Fighter Group
So you need to do some better research.

Heinrich not Hans

I believe a similar thing happened with an RAF pilot, found in his aircraft in the 60's not far from Biggin Hill
In a forest. Maybe someone has more details ?

The 24th of 1944…. Er aren’t you missing a month out here. Just saying.

after 24 years. need to go back to school bud

The name of the pilot referred to in the video is not HANS Bartels, but HEINRICH Bartels. His plane was found 23 years after the end of WWII, on January 26, 1968, 23 years later, Bartel's fighter and wreckage were found near Bad Godesberg, Germany.

I don't know how reliable your videos are when, repeatedly in the same video, you make mistakes like this.

war thunder is a shit flight experience just saying

He was a good Nazi. I know this because the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. And don't give me this BS about he wasn't a Nazi. He was just fighting for his country. If you fought for or with Germany in WWII, you were fighting for the Nazis and therefore I see you as Nazi scum.

Ruhe im Frieden 🙏🏻🙏🏻

if he's German fighter let him rot where he belongs

If you guys use il2 I recommend u use mods for maps and planes 👍

Like Mozart was a composer for years ! Now a decomposer !!!!

Thought he was Austrian.

I meant PARTNER not “party” I have fat thumbs ! LoL

I was an Auxiliary PO In Nassau Cty Long Island in 2004-2006. My partner in the radio patrol car was a Luftwaffe veteran well in his 80’s who was shot down in his fighter planes 3 times - last time he was captured and spent two years in a U.S. POW Camp In Texas. He went back to Germany after the war and then came to Long Island to live.
One night, our patrol duty was to guard a synagogue on the Anniversary of KRISTALLNACHT. He was not a Nazi, just an airman doing his duty. I am Jewish, as were others in out Aux unit, and we became friends. He asked me if I saw the irony that a Luftwaffe veteran who flew a Messerschmitt in the Battle of Britain was now guarding a synagogue with a Jewish party Aux Police Officer. It certainly WAS ironic - one for the books!!!
btw, he lost a nephew who was a US MARINE in Iraq!

Almost nothing but cheap and easy gaming footage? Gonna be a downvote and ignore channel from me.

The top 100 fighter pilots of all time are all German WW2 pilots.

Erich Hartmann scored 352 kills. And those Russian planes were tough to down. Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmoviks were known as flying tanks.

It would of been an Awesome video without the advert switched off when it started

It's sad that so many brave young servicemen on all sides never made it to wars end. What a waste of talent! War is hell on earth!!!

The German's Were A Kind Of Quality Over Quantity ...

My grandpa flew the Me 262 and shot down Britains and Americans

for someone who has spread death and ruin, this is too mild a death 💩

He’s Still flying after all these years ☠️

!942 was a happy time against the Amis. They were getting slaughtered by JG26. There in the west almost alone.

The models of US planes do not match the narrative

You think British and American pilots were the BEST one could face in the 1940s?!? That's at the very least DEBATBLE, but mostly a straight up LIE. Practically a lie almost every aspect. British were humbled by Polish and Americans were less than them. A bit more than amateurs until about 44.

WOW

Man he had 99 kills and died before he could reach 100 that’s just annoying

"On the 24th of 1944 " ??

Ruhe in Frieden. To all who fought bravely and with respect whichever nation 🇬🇧🫡

Fäulnis in der Hölle Bartels

On the 24th of WHAT month?? You left out that part..

What was despicable is that Germans would also shoot the soliders in parachutes after shooting the planes. Just disgusting there was one airman that said to his pilots if he seen anyone do this, he would personally shoot down the guilt pilot himself.

Games lang pala, akala ko true story

I wish people would stop trying to change history. it's called history for a reason. Just because a cymbal hurts your little feelings doesn't give anyone the right to change it. these are to remind us all to never let it happen again right? I despise the swastika just everyone else does and i would imagine, but, however, it was a part of the second world war and all those who stood for it then. i seen what the creator of this video did to the tail stabilizer where the it belongs . do not change history please! some made not like my comment here but that's not what my comment is about. it's about keeping history pure and to tell the real truth and not some politically correct tame down version instead.

Where else was he gonna be lol...

Keep up the great work you are doing

bet he after 24 years sitting there he had to go pee really bad.

Heinrich Bartels.

its bav-air-ia

Boring game advert

Thankfully this barbarian was too caught up in hitting 100 kills. Instead of paying close attention to what had caused him to survive to this point. Many good allied pilots and airmen probably have their life because this man was shot down.

The point is HE WAS SHOT DOWN AND WENT TO HIS DEATH .

Why do you speak with such certainty about the Nazi’s kills? But when you discuss the American ace who shot him down, you say: he claimed to have shot down five that day. Way to get me to not subscribe.

The 24th of 1944?

poor man was so close to dropping a nuke in a proleague match

Wow. As an American I can always respect a great airman. Natter the cost he inflicted to my side. That’s called respect…
