The print depicts General Adolf Galland’s most memorable
day of combat. On June 21, 1941, flying
with JG-26 in Northern France, Galland participated in attacking a formation of
Blenheim and about 50 escort fighters.
During the attack, Galland shot down two bombers and was severely hit by
defending Spitfires. He was able to
switch off his engine and glide in for a belly landing. Later that afternoon, Galland participated in
a second interception, shooting down a Spitfire at close range. He received hits from a second Spitfire and
was forced to bail out. He survived that
day with minor injuries and a direct order from Hitler forbidding him to fly
anymore missions for the time being.
