- Of course you do understand that this was a MOVIE, not real life?
- actually the movie is based on a true story. it is true what those two pilots done as there was no other luftwaffe in the Normandy area. those two pilots did get in the air and make some contribution to German effort.
One of the pilots who managed to get airborne was 'Pips' Priller.
I advise you to read the Cornelius Ryan's book, "The Longest Day". Many times, Hollywood will create a character from 2 or 3 real life people. The book is based on actual interviews with those who fought or commanded the battle.

Is the nimrod r1 the biggest fighter plane in the world?
The Nimrod is an maritime patrol plane that is more of a bomber plane with heat seeking Sidewinder air-to-air missiles for self defense instead of a actual fighter plane. B-52's with 50 caliber machine guns shot down North Vietnamese MIG fighters in 1972, that doesn't make the B-52 bomber (with machine guns) a fighter plane. The world's biggest fighter plane is probably the F-14 Tomcat flown only by Iran (put in to storage in Arizona by the USA) or the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet flown by the US Navy and possibly other countries.
