During the
Battle of Britain, Generalfeldmarschall
Hermann Göring organized a meeting with fighter units commanders. Annoyed by the fact the Luftwaffe still hadn't defeated the Royal Air Force and secured air superiority over Great Britain, Goring had violent discussion with Germany's most famous aces and commanders, including
Werner Molders and
Adolf Galland. The supreme commander of the Luftwaffe asked his his pilots what they needed to win the battle. Molders requested more powerful engines for the
Bf-109. Gallanda replied: "I should like an outfit of Spitfires".
This famous episode is depicted in the film
Battle of Britain. German actors Hein Riess and Manfred Reddemann play respectively Goring and
Galland.
