General Galland was one of Germany's most well known fighter aces. He was credited with over 100 kills, flying a variety of planes, though he preferred the Bf109. As General of the Fighters from December 1941 to December, 1944, he was disallowed from flying combat missions. In the spring of 1945, he commanded the world's first jet fighter wing, which was equipped with the Messerschmitt Me-262.
From June 1940 on, Galland flew as a Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 26, fighting in the Battle of Britain with Messerschmitt Bf 109 "Emils" from bases in the Pas de Calais. In July, Galland was promoted to major. By mid-August, Luftwaffe commander Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring's dissatisfaction with the performance of the fighter arm led him to replace several of his pre-war Jagdgeschwader commanders with the current wave of younger high-achievers.
During the Battle of Britain, in a legendary front line General Officer briefing on Luftwaffe tactics, the Reichsmarshall asked what his pilots needed to win the battle. Werner Mölders replied that he would like the Bf 109 to be fitted with more powerful engines. Galland replied: "I should like an outfit of Spitfires for my squadron." Göring was speechless with rage.
During the Battle of Britain the question of killing enemy pilots while in their parachutes was raised. In another confrontation with Göring, Galland recalled:
Göring wanted to know if we had ever thought about this. "Jawohl, Herr Reichsmarshall!" He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "What would you think of an order to shoot down pilots who were bailing out?”, “I should regard it as murder, Herr Reichsmarschall", I told him, "I should do do everything in my power to disobey such an order". "That is just the reply I had expected from you, Galland".
