Yea, it's a year later compared to when you originally saw and commented, but I just saw it now, and went back a couple of times to double check...holy crap...crazy...wow...Stuff like that makes ya think, ya know? Like being in a crappy mood because someone cut you off in traffic, or getting irritated because ya gotta "go outside and shovel the driveway...Ill miss the first 10 minutes of the game...this sucks!" Yea, that guy bailed out of a plane due to enemy aircraft fire. Hell, his chute may not have even opened, he may not even had a chute to begin with! Or if he did, he may have been killed by the same plane that shot his plane down! Sorry...I got rambling...
Thanks for the video! I'm familiar with many of the aircraft you have presented. What is so interesting is how the engineers of that era and circumstance where willing to think "outside the box". Really stepping stones to other aviation innovations later on.
I really hope you guys like this, it took just over 1 month to put this together. I recone most of you guys will only know 1 plane on this list out of the 5 main planes on the list. I really enjoy it when the all the hard work comes together and you guys like my videos :D Thank you for continuing to support me. Also if your board here my other top 5 videos Link: ruclips.net/p/PL3dMS27Tsqmolt4BSGZSLBbK4MC4FK2pU
GREAT VIDEO.!!! keep producing them. KUDOS to you, Sir. Thanks for posting, and keep up the good work.!!! Allways learning.!!! ( I already know about all those planes, but there is always something new to learn)!!!
As someone who's been interested in odd and unusual aircraft for a long time, thanks for another awesome video! Excellent work and fascinating history!
Kudos to you, I repute myself to have some good knowledge of German WW2 planes but I learned something new on rare types from your video, this is also one rare case of “top xx lists” that doesn’t attempt to do ranking based on idiotic criteria and doesn’t rely entirely on non existent sensationalism but provide interesting well detailed historical and technical informations.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
Heard you earlier on LBC and, like James, really warmed to you. I found this video fascinating. Great work, keep it up. I’ve made films for TV and your way of speaking comes across very well.
+Andy Lee thank you, i was very happy talking to james. I've heard him for years so it was a treat to speak to him. I'm also not confident with the way i talk so it was very nice to hear that you like the way i talked :D
Steam cooling wasn't new. Brits had it. It worked better on biplanes because of the elevation of the upper wing. Gravity had something to do with it. They tried it on the early spitfire prototype but it didn't work well on a monowing
+Derptank my title is bit meh but i try to make it appeal to the masses. I like to think the list goes into depths that watchmojo could only dream off. They probably bang out a script in a couple of hours with little research. This video took me over a month to make.
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs Well yes the title is a bit “the usual”. It’s a lot simpler than what I’d title it. Probably, “Some of the most bizarre German Aircraft that existed during World War 2”
just because I poke a little fun at the title, doesn't mean I don't enjoy the content. the video is good, but I read the title and couldn't help but make a connection to the watchmojo memes as a little joke
The glue for the He 162 was perfected, & Eric Brown flew the He 162 often. Here is the impression of the He 162 flown by Captain Eric Brown from "Wings of the Luftwaffe" ...the aircraft had excellent directional snaking characteristics making it a good gun platform. From this aspect it was the best jet fighter of it's time, and I was certainly in a position to judge, having flown every jet aircraft then in existence. A check on the rate of roll at 400 mph revealed the highest that I had ever experienced outside of the realm of hydraulically-powered ailerons, and the stick force demanded to produce these exhilarating gyrations was delightfully light. Leveling off at 12,000 feet I settled down to another spell of the pleasures of the phenomenal roll rate of this delightful little aeroplane ... I had never met better flying controls ... Even if somewhat underpowered it had a good performance - it could certainly have run rings around the contemporary Meteor. I was to fly the little aeroplane quite frequently.
4:35 I realy want fly that in war thunder, Hope someone make custom mission with this clumsy beast. Wait no, I want the SBD version (10:12) i remember playing il-2 sturmovik 1946 and these things were very weird.
Patrylec Kuldan It’d be a really fun April fools event, where they filled the game with wunderwaffen of every nation: the Amerika Bombers, the Us Flying Pancake, the Baka Bombs, and so on.
@@spindash64 The bakka bombs should be a call in for the japanese in a ground realistic tank battle. Maybe a V-1 for the germans; I can't think of anything for the Russians or the Americans off the top of my head. Maybe it could be two game modes? Name it the "Wacky Wonders" event
You can see a pair of those glide bomb/mothership/mistel planes at RAF Cosford, just outside of Birmingham UK. Entry's free. You can see the mountings on the Fw 190 and Ju 88. The museum also holds a range of late-war German guided missiles, all 3 'V' Bombers and a number of experimental aircraft such as TSR2 and EAP.
JammyTurtle The TSR2 was NOT an experimental aircraft. It was going to be a replacement and vast improvement over for the Hawker Hunter FGA9 (I seem to recall) but the new Labour government cancelled it, along with the HS681 and the P1154 in 1964. After the Defence White Paper of 1957 and this cancellation the aircraft industry never properly recovered and most if not all aircraft produced for front-line service were collaborations with other countries. One of the aircraft cancelled in 1957 was another supersonic Hunter replacement. It was in the same class as the Phantom. and would have sold to the countries who bought the Hunter. Around 5,000 Phantoms were built and quite a few exported!
The Jumo 004 was a revolutionary engine, but without access to exotic metals, Junkers was forced to build high temp and high rotational velocity components, particularly turbine blades, from stainless steel, and TBO was a mere 20 hrs. The 162 was built primarily from wood, and high speeds incumbent with jet power did result in a lot of structural failures. If it and the 262 could have been built in quantity earlier in the war, the outcome may have been different, or at least the war may have been dragged out longer. Thank God that was not the case. I enjoyed this video, to as an 40 year aircraft mechanic and WW II air war buff, I was familiar with all of them. Thank you for not using a computer voice for narration.
The He-219 at 15.27 is in RAF markings, as are most of the other planes on that airfield. Presumably this was captured at the end of the war and being evaluated. By Eric "Winkle" Brown no doubt -he seemed to have flown most of the Luftwaffe stuff - even a Salamander I believe.
Really hoping to see some history on the BV-237. Although it had a really odd looking, disproportionate airframe, it supposedly flew great and was very stable.
Well Sir, I've been interested in 'WunderWaffe' for half a century and thought I'd seen the majority of the Weird & Wacky stuff but I have been educated this evening! What a Treat!
I have an Idea for a video: The top X German Alternative planes As in planes that were (serious) competitors to the plane designs that actually went into mass production. For example: He280 for the Me262 He112 for the Bf109 Etc. (Poor Heinkel)
@@michaelmckinnon427 This is not so strange, after 1945 the Soviets dismantled the Heinkel aircraft plant and they had all plans. They also brought many German technicians to the Soviet Union to develop aircraft for the Red Army.
Heinkel didn't provide Hitler with any financial support during his rise to power so was mostly ignored by the Air Ministry when shown their new novel designs. Heinkel designed, made and flew Germany's first jet aircraft in 1940 with the Air Ministry showing no interest since Willy was working on one.
While you're at it throw in the two Italian aircraft carriers under construction but were never finished: the Sparviero and the Aquila. If not already done please have this project completed NLT 5:00 PM Monday, January 7, 2019. The video's length should be approximately 45 minutes. Thanks.
How did the Dornier 335 not make this list? Really cool plane, had a prop in the front and a pusher prop in the tail. It was called the Pfeil codename Arrow.
G'day, Yay Team ! My favourite AeroNaziNautical Weirdo which actually flew was the Heinkel 111-Z, but as you said ; you've already covered it in a previous Video. A local Yokel from only 20 miles away from where I'm sitting (Charlie Scherf, RAAF, Emmaville NSW, Oz...) was flying a Gun-Nosed DH Mosquito in 1943 when he found a Zwilling in his Gunsights, and he got a Medal for shooting it down.... There was a panel about him in the Museum in my home town ("Land Of The Beardies History House & Museum", Glen Innes, 2370 NSW, Oz) when I was growing up, in the 1970s. Have a good one ;-p Ciao !
a very interesting video. 2 of the aircraft i had never heard of before, and i have over 1000 ww2 books about German weaponry, and 2 of these planes aren't mentioned. i will have to do some research to see if they are indeed contained somewhere in my library. thanx!
The HE-162's official name was Spatz (Sparrow) and was also known as Salamander. Volksjagger was the concept behind the aircraft. it was only good for up to 10 flights and the Hitler Youth was supposed to be tapped for flying them after only about a dozen hours of glider time.
A mid-engine design is also used in the Stemme S10 motor glider, which has an unusual folding propeller in the nose. (The nose done extends forwards and the propeller unfolds from inside.)
The pronounciation of "Messerschmitt" seemingly is an art not to be mastered by English speaking people. But apart from that, this is a first class video. Well researched, well built, very informative. Thank you for your effort!
Max W. Agree with you Sir.!!! 1)- If it was unarmed, it's NOT a bomber.! 2)- If it is a bomber, it is NOT a recce plane.! 3)- If it was a recce, (reconnaissance), plane, it was NOT a bomber.! 4)- If it was a recce plane, it was normal NOT to be armed.! 5)- If it was a bomber, it would HAVE armament.! So, what gives.???
Gergő Agócs well there are things that go too far and are unethical like poison gas and false flag operations or shooting pow's it's just to make war better for all those involved
Suicidal Cunt The M10s are Not a warcrime. They we're intended to sneak sabotage-troops behind enemy lines, which is completely legal in war. It would have only been illegal if they engaged Us-Troops without Making it clear that they are germans before, and they never did that
Bill Nastali Nope! They tried to design a variant but the war ended before it would be finished. Most of the first American jets would see action in Korea and Nam and were based off of the ME-262 (especially the F-86 sabre)
the he162's engine was mounted on the top of the aircraft to stop random debris flying in. as the war tore on and german fighters had to operate increasingly from unpaved airstrips, foreign object damage to the fragile jet engines needed to be avoided.
The Mispel payloads were not expensive. Both JU-88 airframes and engines were repaired older models, with engines with a lot of hours on them, both just not worn enough to scrap them
The Mosquito is NOT build of wood because shortage in aluminium. This is a popular misconception. The Mosquito was a ground attack aircraft and was developed to attack those nasty V1 launch ramps which were spread all over the belgium and especially the dutch coastal areas. It was designed to have a very fast low altitude speed. It was made of wood because the metal which was left in the plane was to little to be seen by the radars of the day. Wood did not return the radar signal so well. When it did, the aircraft was already in ttack range. So actually, the Havilland Mosquito was worlds first stealth aircraft.
Hey Iron Armenian, love your work! Just a note to say the pic of the FW190 in the "London Science Museum" is actually the FW190 in the London Imperial War Museum. Not sure if there is an FW190 in the Science Museum? Also, the IWM has been renovated over the last few years and I'm not sure all the planes are still there.
In the hanger with the Me 262 engine on a chain hoist I pretty sure that big red star doesn't mean it's at a Texico garage. The Russians used the BMW turbojet as a starting point that lead to MIGs having turbojet engines.
Not only the high speeds on He 162 were a problem landing ...also the narrow landing gear in Bf109. The quantity of aircraft's they lost landing or taking off whit the Bf109 is awesome.
History nerd alert! It's not the Me109, it's the Bf109, the aircraft was initially designed and built when the company was still called the Bavarich Fleuzueg Werke, or BFW hence the BF designation. Only aircraft designed by Messerschmidt after 1938 had Me designations.
0:56 looks bloody dangerous.. You wonder how close the guy in the hat in the foreground was to the prop arc. The people climbing around the nose aren't too far away either.
The He-119 shares a similar cooling system with the Kawasaki Ki-64 "Rob". That aircraft also flew and may have used the German evaporation cooling system as an inspiration, if not a direct copy.
A British "Meteor" pilot (The "Meteor" was the first UK jet plane) who flew the Heinkel He162, said after flying the He162: "This plane could fly circles around the Meteor"; I.e. the He162 was a better jet plane than the British "Meteor". Luckily for the Allies (and the World) the Heinkel He 162 was too little, too late!
the alliees never need to use they jet aircrafts because the fastest propeller fighter ,specialy the P47 who was particulary fast in dive, was able to catch a me 262 or a He 162 in dive...if the nazis have more jet fighter, this change nothing: only a handfull good german pilots was awailable , and this first generation jet fighters was poor performer (very slow accelerations, very unreliable engines, extremly high consumption (= short range), this last point is one of the cause the Meteor was not use in combat (was use as V1 killer close Greath Britain)
@@leneanderthalien A P47 only could a ME262 to catch when she is approaching its air base. When it was in the air, no fighter with a piston engine had a chance to catch it. The weak point with the first jets was that they had to make a long slow landing approach. The Germans always had to send a few F190 when the ME262 returned from operations to secure their landing. At the end of the war, however, they hardly had any petrol for the F190, so they had to do without them more and more often.
Biggest problem with evaporative cooling in a military application is its total inability to withstand ANY battle damage. The reclaim rate often didn't stand up to the demands in operation with air locks that resulted in fatal overheating and fires. Messerschmitt made good compromises in aircraft like the Bf110 that had cooling inlets for oil coolers and air intakes faired into the wing leading edge .
One little advice, a thing I have noticed in all your videos: You say Meschersmidt instead of Messerschmidt, just to put it out there in case you haven't noticed. Otherwise, great video!
+Derptank oh tons of sea planes. So many intresting ones. Masive ones with 10 engines, mine detonators and rocket lauched fighter planes. So much choice
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs Of (going with the usual aircraft included in your videos) course it would be including rather unknown aircraft, possibly including one or two like the PBY “Cat”, or the H6K4... Also thank you for noticing me father Iron
You come for the wheraboo clickbait, you stay for the half hour of well researched and interesting information. Yet to disappoint.
9:24 anyone saw the poor pilot trying to bail out by parkouring through the payload's fuselage?

That must have been interesting being a fighter pilot from the other side of the world and seeing a very rare plane in combat.
a very interesting video. 2 of the aircraft i had never heard of before, and i have over 1000 ww2 books about German weaponry, and 2 of these planes aren't mentioned. i will have to do some research to see if they are indeed contained somewhere in my library. thanx!
Woah thats a lot of books! I have like 2 on that subject.
The HE-162's official name was Spatz (Sparrow) and was also known as
Salamander. Volksjagger was the concept behind the aircraft. it was only good for up to 10 flights and the Hitler Youth was supposed to be tapped for flying them after only about a dozen hours of glider time.
Hey bro you can hear the passion in your voice about these planes really enjoy these videos cool stuff fascinating gives me something to do😁👍🇺🇸🎗⚓
24:26 this is a very interesting picture because in the background there is a very old pre-war aircraft which could be a Dornier Do 11, 13 or 23
Love your vids keep up the good work
Messerschmitt ✔️
Mescherssmitt ❌
measure shmit
Yeah, his pronunciations drove me to turn it off after a couple minutes.
@@willtipton100 No - it's a sharp s in "Messer", not a "sh" or "g" like in "measure"
@@castor4357 i know lol, i was just making a small joke :P
@@willtipton100 haha ok, sorry!
A mid-engine design is also used in the Stemme S10 motor glider, which has an unusual folding propeller in the nose. (The nose done extends forwards and the propeller unfolds from inside.)
You got me! The 328 was new to me.
Good Vid
Thank you
Excellent production and presentation
The pronounciation of "Messerschmitt" seemingly is an art not to be mastered by English speaking people. But apart from that, this is a first class video. Well researched, well built, very informative. Thank you for your effort!
dogboy1953 Bruh he has an accent not a speech impediment.😒
Great research. Thank you.
A brilliant and well made video 👍
Awesome video!
Mesh 'er, Smith!
Great vid tho :)
0:47 "unarmed reconnaissance bomber"
Max W. Well it does- nvm
Max W.
Agree with you Sir.!!!
1)- If it was unarmed, it's NOT a bomber.!
2)- If it is a bomber, it is NOT a recce plane.!
3)- If it was a recce, (reconnaissance), plane, it was NOT a bomber.!
4)- If it was a recce plane, it was normal NOT to be armed.!
5)- If it was a bomber, it would HAVE armament.!
So, what gives.???
Wtf I caught that also
Yet had two cannons in the rear one facing up the other down
Panther/M10 History Video Soon?
Maybe, there lot of interesting info on war crimes out there
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs K
I dont get the word "warcrime" in general ....ok mask a panther to an m10 but this is war...there are no moral limits.. Correct me pls thx
Gergő Agócs well there are things that go too far and are unethical like poison gas and false flag operations or shooting pow's it's just to make war better for all those involved
Suicidal Cunt The M10s are Not a warcrime. They we're intended to sneak sabotage-troops behind enemy lines, which is completely legal in war. It would have only been illegal if they engaged Us-Troops without Making it clear that they are germans before, and they never did that
Your best video yet! Did the US have jets during WW2?
Bill Nastali Nope! They tried to design a variant but the war ended before it would be finished. Most of the first American jets would see action in Korea and Nam and were based off of the ME-262 (especially the F-86 sabre)
A couple of Lockheed P-80 Shooting Stars were used a a reconnaissance role in Italy before the end of the war, but not in combat roles.
very interesting mate keep it up!
the he162's engine was mounted on the top of the aircraft to stop random debris flying in. as the war tore on and german fighters had to operate increasingly from unpaved airstrips, foreign object damage to the fragile jet engines needed to be avoided.
The Mispel payloads were not expensive. Both JU-88 airframes and engines were repaired older models, with engines with a lot of hours on them, both just not worn enough to scrap them
I never thought I would hear the words resonance and bomber classifying the same aircraft
The Mosquito is NOT build of wood because shortage in aluminium. This is a popular misconception. The Mosquito was a ground attack aircraft and was developed to attack those nasty V1 launch ramps which were spread all over the belgium and especially the dutch coastal areas. It was designed to have a very fast low altitude speed. It was made of wood because the metal which was left in the plane was to little to be seen by the radars of the day. Wood did not return the radar signal so well. When it did, the aircraft was already in ttack range. So actually, the Havilland Mosquito was worlds first stealth aircraft.
Hey Iron Armenian, love your work! Just a note to say the pic of the FW190 in the "London Science Museum" is actually the FW190 in the London Imperial War Museum. Not sure if there is an FW190 in the Science Museum? Also, the IWM has been renovated over the last few years and I'm not sure all the planes are still there.
If you stand under a missile tow, you get a kiss. It's a Christmas thing I heard.
If you play your cards right you get a fat one up the middle...so I hear...lol
Fascinating, I heard you on LBC with James O'brien. Best wishes..
Thank you :D I hope you enjoy my videos
Finally another video
They take a long time to make, but i love making them :D
Great Video ! One correction though, volksjaeger translates as "peoples hunter" not peoples jet
Percy Barbarossa That could infer it hunts the people....
Ya, I noticed that too. Guess it's okay to be wrong if you say shit with authority....lol
In the hanger with the Me 262 engine on a chain hoist I pretty sure that big red star doesn't mean it's at a Texico garage. The Russians used the BMW turbojet as a starting point that lead to MIGs having turbojet engines.
SENPAI UPLOADED! OwO
The Mistletoe concept is a weapon of desperation, almost as desperate as the self-defeating as the Japanese Kamikaze and Kaiten programmes.
I love these vids
And now I know why the glue doesn't always hold
I got to see a163 and 162 (or at least an awesome replica of them) at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino in Southern California.
12:10 - Correction: Turbocharger (or turbo-supercharger). That's why the exhaust was being piped into the rear of the plane.
Do a list of all the bf-109 varieties.
ALL OF THEM!!
Finally another installment of # of (vehicle) that (actions)
Not only the high speeds on He 162 were a problem landing ...also the narrow landing gear in Bf109. The quantity of aircraft's they lost landing or taking off whit the Bf109 is awesome.
History nerd alert! It's not the Me109, it's the Bf109, the aircraft was initially designed and built when the company was still called the Bavarich Fleuzueg Werke, or BFW hence the BF designation. Only aircraft designed by Messerschmidt after 1938 had Me designations.
An easy aircraft to add to this list is the Focke-Wulf 187 heavy fighter, a plane built to replace the BF-110, and could've easily done so.
0:56 looks bloody dangerous.. You wonder how close the guy in the hat in the foreground was to the prop arc. The people climbing around the nose aren't too far away either.
The He-119 shares a similar cooling system with the Kawasaki Ki-64 "Rob". That aircraft also flew and may have used the German evaporation cooling system as an inspiration, if not a direct copy.
Thats a whole mess of Messerschmits! Very good video.
A British "Meteor" pilot (The "Meteor" was the first UK jet plane) who flew the Heinkel He162, said after flying the He162: "This plane could fly circles around the Meteor"; I.e. the He162 was a better jet plane than the British "Meteor". Luckily for the Allies (and the World) the Heinkel He 162 was too little, too late!
the alliees never need to use they jet aircrafts because the fastest propeller fighter ,specialy the P47 who was particulary fast in dive, was able to catch a me 262 or a He 162 in dive...if the nazis have more jet fighter, this change nothing: only a handfull good german pilots was awailable , and this first generation jet fighters was poor performer (very slow accelerations, very unreliable engines, extremly high consumption (= short range), this last point is one of the cause the Meteor was not use in combat (was use as V1 killer close Greath Britain)
...and it had 30 minutes of fuel...and was made of wood. As one RAF pilot discovered performing a roll at high speed would rip apart the tail.
@@leneanderthalien A P47 only could a ME262 to catch when she is approaching its air base. When it was in the air, no fighter with a piston engine had a chance to catch it. The weak point with the first jets was that they had to make a long slow landing approach. The Germans always had to send a few F190 when the ME262 returned from operations to secure their landing. At the end of the war, however, they hardly had any petrol for the F190, so they had to do without them more and more often.
Biggest problem with evaporative cooling in a military application is its total inability to withstand ANY battle damage. The reclaim rate often didn't stand up to the demands in operation with air locks that resulted in fatal overheating and fires. Messerschmitt made good compromises in aircraft like the Bf110 that had cooling inlets for oil coolers and air intakes faired into the wing leading edge .
One little advice, a thing I have noticed in all your videos: You say Meschersmidt instead of Messerschmidt, just to put it out there in case you haven't noticed. Otherwise, great video!
amazing video!
+Drakonn A thank you :D
Can you do a top X amphibious aircraft list?
There were quite a lot that served somewhat major roles in ww2.
+Derptank oh tons of sea planes. So many intresting ones. Masive ones with 10 engines, mine detonators and rocket lauched fighter planes.
So much choice
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs
Of (going with the usual aircraft included in your videos) course it would be including rather unknown aircraft, possibly including one or two like the PBY “Cat”, or the H6K4...
Also thank you for noticing me father Iron
+Derptank oh those two planes are neat but i know much more weird and rare flying boats :D
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs
COUGH COUGH

Boy look at the time I need to sleep
Nazi Germany: We don´t have enough jet engines!
Also Nazi Germany: Let´s use jet engines for glide bombs!
