So incredible in that the Luftwaffe could never settle on a long range bomber, capable of reaching Soviet war factories far beyond the Ural mountains. Yet they had all these aircraft in their inventory which were desperately needed before the Barbarossa invasion of the Soviet Union. leading to the inevitable conclusion, Hitler's militarily incompetence remains unmatched in modern war history.
I am also a great friend of historic aircraft, in 2015 I had the opportunity to fly with a Ju52, it was the former "Ironie Annie", now the "Tempelhof"of the German Lufthansa. Now this aircraft is unfortunately out of service. My father was rescued by a Ju52 out of the Stalingrad pocket under heavy flak fire together with other wounded soldiers end of 1942. Thats part of our history, great video. Greetings from Austria.
@@fload46d oh, wonderful to meet you on this platform. Ich freue mich über deine Worte. We have the same roots, all the best to you and your family! Greetings 🇦🇹🇦🇹
-The most effective aircraft the German had at Stalingrad was the He 111 used as a transport. The Ju 52 engines wouldn't start in the cold while the fuel injected Jumos started straight away and the navigation gear and speed mean more trips over greater range. -While the Ju 52 3m carried the same 2 tons of cargo as the DC-3/C-47 the C-47 was 60% faster and flew 100% further for only 33% more fuel. The short range of the Ju 52 meant the Germans had to stage their cargo loading airfields much closer (during the Stalingrad encirclement these were over run by Soviet Tanks) , the lack of speed meant less trips per day, the lack of fuel economy meant they needed much more fuel. The lack of speed also meant they were easier to intercept. The Ju 52 also had less volume. -Supplying Stalingrad and Rommel's North Africa force was too much for this otherwise good aircraft. It cost efficiency just wasn't there.
In 1964 I built, from my own plans, a BV-238 & Me-323, both powered by six Cox .020 glow plug engines. Span was 6 feet for the Me-323 and 6 feet, 6 inches for the Bv-238. My largest project was an 9 foot length flying (floating?) model of the R-101, the UK airship that crashed in France on October 5, 1930. Those models were somewhat large for their day.
Currently, the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, in Winnipeg, houses the only extant example of a single-engine Junkers Ju-52 (Registration CF-ARM). The first six "Iron Annies" were built with a single BMW engine. In 1931, after acquiring one of these early single-engine Ju-52s, Canadian Airways Ltd. swapped this out with an 850-hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard. This aircraft came to be known in Canada as "The Flying Boxcar". The aircraft at the RAMWC is a replica, built in 1985, though Transport Canada certified it as airworthy, and it did make one flight.
He certainly lead a charmed life, surviving the sinking of his Aircraft Carrier and then becoming a Test Pilot when the attrition rate was 25% per year.
@@markfryer9880 I love listening to him talk about one of my favorite aircraft, the English Electric Lightning. Plus his knowledge of WW2 & post WW2 aircraft is amazing. Pretty sure I've seen him in at least 10 different aircraft or air combat documentarys.
Knowledgable, skilled and above all brave. When he says something is "a very dicey operation, indeed" (about the 323 take off), he actually means suicidal.
@@Boric78 Brown was one of the first guys I heard say "Bravery is being scared out of your wits and still being able to do your job and do it well." That always stuck with me.
This was an excellent survey of Luftwaffe transport types - thank you! Regarding losses, I don't think there was a transport of substantial size in any air force which could defend itself from fighter attack. The October 1943 Schweinfurt-Regensburg raids proved that even the legendary B-17 'Flying Fortress' bristling with guns was subject to unsustainable losses from defending fighters without a long range fighter escort. One can only imagine how vulnerable Me-232 or BV-222 transports would have been without fighter protection. As always this shows how ingenious the German aeronautical engineers were. The Ju-52 which first flew in 1930 was a direct descendant from the Junkers J-3 of 1915 - which I believe was the first metal aircraft to see service. 'Tante-Ju' was the end of the line of the corrugated duralumin skin construction paradigm Hugo Junkers had pioneered in his invention of the metal aeroplane. It was very strong and needed less (or no) longerons than the later, smooth monocoque construction seen in the Douglas DC-3/C-47, but it was clearly very 'dirty' aerodynamically. Consequently the Ju-52, while slow and vulnerable, was also pretty tough and reliable. Remember too that the Ju-90 was developed from the Ju-89 that Gen. Walter Wever had called for in the mid 1930s as a long range strategic bomber that could deliver a significant bomb load over the Urals. It and the Do-19 were both cancelled under Goering's direction in order to produce more twin engine bombers, leaving Germany without a strategic bomber, which didn't seem terribly important to the top leadership as they saw the Luftwaffe more in tactical terms anyway (which also led to the He-177 fiasco). When the Battle of the Atlantic broke out, the Focke-Wulf 200 airliner hurriedly adapted into a long range convoy raider, a task for which it had not been designed and after some initial success had to be withdrawn. One can only wonder how the Ju-90 and Focke-Wulf 200 would have fared in long range passenger service had the war not happened. A great video, thanks. The one respectful suggestion I would make is to try and maintain the original film aspect ration when dealing with historic footage - some of these shots look laterally stretched from 1:1.37 to 1:1.78. This is a common problem with archival footage on YT.
The Ju 52 3m was the Luftwaffe's main transport aircraft unfortunately it was so inadequate it ensured Germany would loose the war. There were other factors of course but Germany could not win with this aircraft. -While the Ju 52 3m carried the same 2 tons of cargo as the DC-3/C-47 the C-47 was 60% faster and flew 100% further for only 33% more fuel. The short range of the Ju 52 meant the Germans had to stage their cargo loading airfields much closer (during the Stalingrad encirclement these were over run by Soviet Tanks) , the lack of speed meant less trips per day, the lack of fuel economy meant they needed much more fuel. The lack of speed also meant they were easier to intercept. The Ju 52 also had less volume. It had no advantages in takeoff length. -It's not that the Germans couldn't design and build a better aircraft, the Ju 252, Ar 234 for instance but they couldn't mass produce it or chose not too. -There is no way the Ju 52 could supply Stalingrad or Rommel's force in North Africa at the same time (In both cases Armies of 130,000 men were lost). -Ju 252 could have done the job, Fw 200 if they hadn't been used as Maritime Reconnaissance Bomber might have been better.
Problem for Germany with ju52 was it was 16 seater, dc-3 was 28 seats roughly so while we had more of them they also carried more which was why I think the Germans were looking at bigger aircraft.
Both The C-47(DC-3) and Ju 52 aircraft could lift about the same 2-2.5 tons but the C-47 had much more internal volume. The DC-3 was about 60% faster, could fly 60% further on the same fuel and had about twice the range. The range of the Ju 52 was so short some cargo loading airfields were even over run by the Soviets and attack by their fighter aircraft. -The Ju 252 on the other hand could have carry about 4-5 tons of cargo over 2400 miles (4000km) all the way from Berlin, direct to Stalingrad, of load its cargo and return with wounded and evacuees all without refueling. it could even carry a small cargo almost 4000 miles. I suspect the 6th Army at Stalingrad could have been saved and Rommel Africa core held out much longer with the Ju 252 replacing the Ju 52. -The Ju 52 was in abundance because Erhard Milch had ordered it into mass production as a bomber to flesh our the Luftwaffe's Bomber squadrons pending the introduction of He 111/Ju 88 and Do 17. This meant the Ju 52 was in plentiful supply.
this documentary was well made and well executed… There is a lot of things here that a lot of us have never seen before and they were really interesting. Good work
I never heard of half of these aircraft. I used to build models as a kid (long time ago), they never offered any but the more known German aircraft. Nothing was seen in the history books of that time either. Those transport four engine planes look a lot like American passenger planes after WWII. The rear loading hatch looks familiar in American military transports today. The spoils of the victor. They also have the luxury of writing the 'history' of WWII as well...
Lovely hearing from “Winkle” Brown 👍 what an incredible log book he must have had ,! Grea to see so many aircraft I had never seen before. Splendid video 🙏👍

Thank you. Such a great video.....And this brings back a great childhood memory... when my father brought me the Me 323 in 1/72 (Italeri). He had to get off the train early because he didn't have enough money for the train ticket after buying it. Oh man... I still have a bunch of (still unbuilt) large German aircraft (WWII) stored in the basement because they fascinated me so much and still fascinate me. I hope I will build them at some point. And have space for them ;-)... My personal "bible" for all the planes (and many projects like the America Bomber etc.) on this is "Die deutsche Luftrüstung 1933-1944" by Heinz J. Nowarra. Everything is in there...
Wow, thank you Brent! Much appreciated ❤ I think Eric Winkle Brown is a nice addition. If you have not seen the documentary about him, here it is: ruclips.net/video/PSRAdZzRycc/видео.html to think that he flew almost 500 different aircraft (not including variations) is mind boggling
Fantastic video. Just a FYI, it mentions the Ju-52 use in Italy at 1min 27 seconds. The image shown is actually a SM.79. A fully original Italian design. Similarities being a Tri-Motor set up.
If you reviewed 2WW , this type even flew to Russia for enforce German fighting in Russia even besieged , front covered with cloth , transporting that sequence with tank and oil
Built the BV222 1/72 from revell last year - was fun and excellent kit - looks amazing done (next to my cold war bombers) - and have a Ju290 1/72 to make... great to see videos of these amazing aircraft.
Good video that reviews aircraft that don't get much coverage elsewhere. i'm tired of YT videos about how great the me109, etc. were. Tri motor heavy bombers, 6 engine gliders, good stuff!
Glad you liked it and that it added to your knowledge of aircraft Andre. Some of these videos are reconstructed with 3D models because little or no video and photos can be found
arado doesnt get enough love, even though basically all their designs were very successful ! arado ar-234 was the best of all the german jet aircraft afaik, yet maybe the least known of them.
The German intro translation is wrong, Me 232 was not an "sechsstrahliges" Transportflugzeug, but one with 6 motors. The translation " ... strahlig" is only used in connection with jet planes.
Schön , das das man sich auch einmal einer eher vernachlässigten Waffengattung , der Transportflieger widmet. Respekt vor Mr. Brown und dessen Wissen über die historische Fliegerei. Leider sind die Deutschen Untertitel im Video sehr schlecht. Ansonsten Daumen hoch.
During the German invasion of the Netherlands, May 10 -14, they lost about 350 airplanes. 275ea of those 350ea were Junkers JU-52 transport planes which carried the paratroopers and other militairy personell and supplies. During the years 1940 up to 1945 the Germans tried to recover/rebuild a number of those JU-52's in the Fokker factory in Amsterdam, but never managed to rebuild/build those lost valuable JU-52's in the remaining war years.
Whilst the land gains were far greater than in 1914 -18 their daily death rate was much higher although with the benefit of a pacified continent and marginal losses in occupation but still had to account for their own losses of men and equipment
It ponders the question?. Maybe just Maybe someone who like me needs to realize that a lot of the aviation designs in Germany during the second world war are still viable in the 21's century?
"time Marshall Ford" ! at 1:34 is the name given to the Tri-motor Ford (Ford Tri-motor) in the english texting ! So much for current AI-texting. I flew one of those over Grand Canyon over four decades ago. Very noisy but great views. Wonder how long they were used there? Was the first commercial passenger aircraft I believe, from the 20s, had also corrugated iron on the body as I remember.
What could Germany have achieved if it didn't start attacking its neighbours and engaging in genocide 🤔 ? Its also scary to think what Germany may have achieved if it delayed its attacks on its neighbours and wasn't ruled by the great dictator and his sycophants 🤔? Anyway, they still lost and suffered badly in the process.
What could have German aircraft engineers achieved if they would not have been taken out of their profession from 1945 till 1957 - just some capable competitors less on the world market...
One should study the pre-history of WWI and WWII, the roles of London, Paris,Washington, StPetersburg and later plus Poland, Moskau and Berlin. Not the official story of the victors. Christopher Clark started with "The Sleepwalker".
Unbelievable aircraft when we think of all the other inventions the Germans made. The fighter aircraft and the rockets. Given time and materiel, their inventiveness would have won the war.
The glider version of the Me 323 had the largest single aircraft crash mortality count until the Boing 747s in the Canary Islands decades later. As part of a planned invasion of the British Isles, it was fully loaded with over 300 German soldiers when the one of the He 111 towing aircraft collided with the other, and it crashed killing all aboard... your tax-dollar at work.
I was Introduced to the German and Russian Aircraft through The Flight Sim Il-2 Sturmovik and the Japanese ! { Already Pretty much knew all of the American Planes.} Preety Amazing Aircraft. Thanks for the added History !! 🤗😁😎
Hallo DroneScapes. I live in the near of Fritzlar Airport ( North Hessen) where the Ju 352 where build. I had only see a picture and spoke with a man involved with the building of the planes. Where did you get a video of this plane from? Thanks, and good work.
Hello Klaus, we got the license for the video from a production company that does not exist anymore, through a common friend in the USA. The producer was British, but he mainly worked in Canada. Back in the days he had access to many aircraft companies, where he collected a lot of exclusive and rare footage.
I assume you are referring to "that guy" as Eric Winkle Brown, a true legend of aviation. He flew close to 500 different aircraft in his distinguished career. You can watch a documentary on him here: ruclips.net/video/PSRAdZzRycc/видео.html What he accomplished is hardly ever going to be surpassed by anybody in the future
The big planes created in 44' was more a psychological tool! The Airsuperiority was no more, it could be used for transports near to the hot spots, but flying into the enemy territory and trying to land something near the Front would be a suicide mission! It was more for the Domestic consumption that's why the numbers are so low (I fact mostly 1,2 or a few more)!
1:50 in the book! The First Jet Pilot” when Hitler saw the world’s first jet plane, by Henkel in 1939 before the war, Hitler asked how soon it can be ready and the pilot told in 18 months And Hitler said, it is not necessary because the war will les than one year so he cut funding for the development, And that was before he invaded Poland . But if Hitler wanted to take over the world is is claimed by the victors! He would have known that to take over the world in less than one year is just not possible.
Fred Flintstone planes , but at this time only the americans was better but not really..JU52 had 3 BMW engine , this engine was " Kolbenfresser" called.Was a really adventure to fly it. Hitler feeling this by flying from Berlin to Munich, was lucky. I don't understand why the americans don't live the german to employ airplanes after the WW2 ; fir shure with the german experience and employment today the airplane industry had could be much better and forwarded.
...it was just sufficient to "steal" all German patents by declaring them as "war booty" - for rockets, jet engines, jet planes and millions of other developments...

@@johngunther6333 No problem John. It is a very common problem, much more than you could imagine, but it is a trait of our times. We are so much bombarded by information, that we tend to rush thought things or conclusions.
Die "Focke-Wulf 200 Condor", wurde nicht als Bomber hergestellt, sondern nur als Fernaufklärer und der Seeüberwachung, was zB die alliierten Geleitzüge anging. Für einen Bomber war die Struktur der "Condor zu schwach, denn diese Maschine wurde ja als Langstreckenreise-Flugzeug hergestellt. Spätere Versionen wurden zwar struturell verstärkt, aber nicht so, das daraus ein vollwertiger Bomber werden konnte. Dazu war die Ju 90 wesentlich besser geeignet, war aber bei weiten nicht in der nötigen Anzahl vorhanden.
Germany didn't plan o an extended world war - it was Britain's declaration that made it such. So Germany made no 4-engine bombers like Britain, and of course, insufficient transport planes..

I like the low speed flying from this planes. Looks more smooth than today.
Any documentary with Captain Eric Brown will be awesome. What a guy👍
Did you watch his biography that we have on the channel? ruclips.net/video/PSRAdZzRycc/видео.html
Absolutely brilliant video....totally captivating. Thank you DroneScapes.
Many thanks Martin! Glad you liked it
Немцы гении авиапромышленности! Молодцы все их разработки опережали своё время !!!!
Fascinating video. I had never heard of the BV 238. Great stuff!
Many thanks Enzio! Glad you liked it
Good video that reviews aircraft that don't get much coverage elsewhere. i'm tired of YT videos about how great the me109, etc. were.
Tri motor heavy bombers, 6 engine gliders, good stuff!
Much appreciated!
Thank you! There are quite a few aircraft in this video that I've never heard of before.
Glad you liked it and that it added to your knowledge of aircraft Andre. Some of these videos are reconstructed with 3D models because little or no video and photos can be found
Great footage, the automated subtitles leave more than something to be desired though.
Thank you. We are not Netflix yet, so we have to rely on A.I. generated subtitles. I understand they are not ideal, but they often help
Second front was in 1943 in Italy. 1944 Normwndy was front 3
Excellent footage..
Thank you Jon!
Excellent doc, very well done. And with E. Brown on top of that ! Thanks a lot.
PS: never heard of the Ar 232 before, you got me interested
Thank you Loic
4:13 "Guys, I'll be outside having a smoke !" 😁
arado doesnt get enough love, even though basically all their designs were very successful ! arado ar-234 was the best of all the german jet aircraft afaik, yet maybe the least known of them.
The German intro translation is wrong, Me 232 was not an "sechsstrahliges" Transportflugzeug, but one with 6 motors. The translation " ... strahlig" is only used in connection with jet planes.
Great footage 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching Mastathrash 🙏
Schön , das das man sich auch einmal einer eher vernachlässigten Waffengattung , der Transportflieger widmet. Respekt vor Mr. Brown und dessen Wissen über die historische Fliegerei. Leider sind die Deutschen Untertitel im Video sehr schlecht. Ansonsten Daumen hoch.
MARAVILHA DE VÍDEO. THANK YOU.
❤👍👍🙏
What an excellent video, thank you, 👍👊✌️🌍.
Very welcome ❤🙏
During the German invasion of the Netherlands, May 10 -14, they lost about 350 airplanes. 275ea of those 350ea were Junkers JU-52 transport planes which carried the paratroopers and other militairy personell and supplies. During the years 1940 up to 1945 the Germans tried to recover/rebuild a number of those JU-52's in the Fokker factory in Amsterdam, but never managed to rebuild/build those lost valuable JU-52's in the remaining war years.
Whilst the land gains were far greater than in 1914 -18 their daily death rate was much higher although with the benefit of a pacified continent and marginal losses in occupation but still had to account for their own losses of men and equipment
Great footage. Also the fabricated. Very honest and realistic
Thank you very much Rune!
Thx for this very interesting info about German transport aeroplanes!
Really good video, much better than what we get on the so-called Discovery Channel.
Good work ... Eric Brown giving his opinion is always a bonus. Subscribed .
Much appreciated!
It ponders the question?. Maybe just Maybe someone who like me needs to realize that a lot of the aviation designs in Germany during the second world war are still viable in the 21's century?
And other inventions from other nations are also still in use such as the radar
"time Marshall Ford" ! at 1:34 is the name given to the Tri-motor Ford (Ford Tri-motor) in the english texting ! So much for current AI-texting.
I flew one of those over Grand Canyon over four decades ago. Very noisy but great views. Wonder how long they were used there? Was the first commercial passenger aircraft I believe, from the 20s, had also corrugated iron on the body as I remember.
great short video
Might be useful if you had complete control of the air battlespace. If not it becomes another Ju-52/Ju-87 etc., i.e. a flying target.
You said when Germany was attacked on both fronts in 1944 isn’t that a contradiction wasn’t Germany, the attackers
You are right Kevin, that was a mistake. Thanks and sorry for the error.
@Dronescapes you could have said 'Germany was invaded on 2 fronts as the final blitz from the Allied troops ending Germany's war. '
I understand that the Lufthansa flew the JU52 right up till 2018-2019?!?
Yes, saw it flying around Frankfurt a few times. To bad the accident in Switzerland happened and it went out of service
I enjoyed this, subbed
Welcome aboard and thank you Steve!
What could Germany have achieved if it didn't start attacking its neighbours and engaging in genocide 🤔 ?
Its also scary to think what Germany may have achieved if it delayed its attacks on its neighbours and wasn't ruled by the great dictator and his sycophants 🤔?
Anyway, they still lost and suffered badly in the process.
Or if they'd actually done the job properly and won. Oh well we'll never know now. They deserved their fate, they weren't good enough.
If there was no war, many inventions would not have made, because there would not have been a need for.
@@lnteIIigence luckily for Europe germany was to excellent in technology / klaus born 1943
What could have German aircraft engineers achieved if they would not have been taken out of their profession from 1945 till 1957 - just some capable competitors less on the world market...
One should study the pre-history of WWI and WWII, the roles of London, Paris,Washington, StPetersburg and later plus Poland, Moskau and Berlin.
Not the official story of the victors. Christopher Clark started with "The Sleepwalker".
Great documentary. Though the subtitles are hilarious.
The 3d visuals are awesome!
🙏👍
And awesome as a description is not sufficient. The cgi is so subdued, so well crafted, that it fits in to the story seemlessly.
No video of the smoker on the ramp? Shame. That would be epic.
Um sobrevivente dá guerra mundial, um ótimo documentário 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
🙏👍
Is film available on the aircraft exhibition of enemy aircraft in 1945? Please find it if you can.
Unbelievable aircraft when we think of all the other inventions the Germans made. The fighter aircraft and the rockets. Given time and materiel, their inventiveness would have won the war.
Eric Brown... what a legend!
👍👍♥️🙏
I could understand him perfectly, but following the translation script, it was hard to remember all the different "fucker" models they had.
The glider version of the Me 323 had the largest single aircraft crash mortality count until the Boing 747s in the Canary Islands decades later. As part of a planned invasion of the British Isles, it was fully loaded with over 300 German soldiers when the one of the He 111 towing aircraft collided with the other, and it crashed killing all aboard... your tax-dollar at work.
Presumably a practice mission
Anyone remember “COD Big Red One” when a B-24 ball turret gunner *massacred* several ME-323s?
Vaguely 🙂 Did you know that they found a sunken Me 323 in the Island of Sardinia (Italy).
More on Watson Swizlers please.
the Ju-52 still flies today tho. Lufthansa still has one.
to be impressed ..he is impressed by the translation
Mein Opa flog Me 321 Gigant Lasten Segler 👍👍👍👍🇩🇪🇩🇪
Okay I just got here, but how the Hell did they lose things that were so damn *big?*
I was Introduced to the German and Russian Aircraft through The Flight Sim Il-2 Sturmovik and the Japanese ! { Already Pretty much knew all of the American Planes.} Preety Amazing Aircraft. Thanks for the added History !! 🤗😁😎
Thanks for sharing Robert!
At minute 1:27 these are SM-79 and not Ju-52
You are correct, thank you. it should have been this photo: ruclips.net/user/postUgkxB41QHDgQbeYdZxHB5b43hsb2uFB5Zm_d
Iluschins Fahrwerk wahr damals einfach das beste , wurde auch in divers Junker schleast transporter eingebaut ,.
Hallo DroneScapes. I live in the near of Fritzlar Airport ( North Hessen) where the Ju 352 where build. I had only see a picture and spoke with a man involved with the building of the planes. Where did you get a video of this plane from? Thanks, and good work.
Hello Klaus, we got the license for the video from a production company that does not exist anymore, through a common friend in the USA. The producer was British, but he mainly worked in Canada. Back in the days he had access to many aircraft companies, where he collected a lot of exclusive and rare footage.
That guy. Is right off the fast show "and i was very...very.. drunk"
I assume you are referring to "that guy" as Eric Winkle Brown, a true legend of aviation. He flew close to 500 different aircraft in his distinguished career. You can watch a documentary on him here: ruclips.net/video/PSRAdZzRycc/видео.html What he accomplished is hardly ever going to be surpassed by anybody in the future
He's speaking in a very clear and concise manner. It's doubtful that you will be as lucid at that age.
@@stargazer5784 i think he was just trying to be unnecessarily rude and disrespectful.
There's an original video of this, I think from which this is being dubbed. Anyone knows the link?
Die Me323 ist nicht sechsstrahlig sondern sechsmotorig!
1:27 wrong plane photo, it is not Junkers.
1:27 aren 't these savoia marchetti sm.79, not Ju.52?
Yes, you are actually right
This video has no sound.
You must have issues with your device, perhaps it is muted?
soooooooooo what, 2 minutes all together on the plane? title was very misleading.....
The big planes created in 44' was more a psychological tool!
The Airsuperiority was no more, it could be used for transports near to the hot spots, but flying into the enemy territory and trying to land something near the Front would be a suicide mission!
It was more for the Domestic consumption that's why the numbers are so low (I fact mostly 1,2 or a few more)!
1:50 in the book! The First Jet Pilot” when Hitler saw the world’s first jet plane, by Henkel in 1939 before the war, Hitler asked how soon it can be ready and the pilot told in 18 months
And Hitler said, it is not necessary because the war will les than one year so he cut funding for the development, And that was before he invaded Poland . But if Hitler wanted to take over the world is is claimed by the victors! He would have known that to take over the world in less than one year is just not possible.
teşekkür efsane hala mız için Türkiye
18.15 Nit picking numpty here. Germany was not attacked on 2 fronts in 1944. Germany was defending 2 (of its own) fronts.
You are right, that was a mistake
Perfect ❤❤
My great grandpa Fly one of this Giants in WW2
Fred Flintstone planes , but at this time only the americans was better but not really..JU52 had 3 BMW engine , this engine was " Kolbenfresser" called.Was a really adventure to fly it. Hitler feeling this by flying from Berlin to Munich, was lucky. I don't understand why the americans don't live the german to employ airplanes after the WW2 ; fir shure with the german experience and employment today the airplane industry had could be much better and forwarded.
...it was just sufficient to "steal" all German patents by declaring them as "war booty" - for rockets, jet engines, jet planes and millions of other developments...
@@uwewaibel9163 it' s not German Patent.
It' s Henry Coanda Patent. The name it' "Coanda effect" Was the first and the only one fisicist who' re refuse from the beginn the Nobel price.If you have a genial Ideea and you want to implement practically you must give to the Germans.
@@tonit9978 What´s the relationship to my reply about all stolen German patents? And by the way there is no correlation between the "Coanda effect" and a jet engine... Get your facts correct!
@@uwewaibel9163 of course it is .He built the first jet 1905.
that plane reminds me on World of Tanks Blitz
Shame about the aspect ratio.
Déjà à l'époque se dessinait les futurs Noratlas, Caribou ect ect, les silhouettes que j'ai aperçu dans cette vidéo ne me feront pas mentir 😉
Salute!
My Grandfather test flew the first messerschmitt fighter plane. I have the pictures. I wonder if this elderly gentleman new or new of my Grandfather Frederick Barthel
Brown knew most of the Germsn test pilots including Hannah Reitsch who he remained friends with until her death in '79.
13:28
Looking at you Argentina.
Notice the American flag behind Eric?
Where is the aircraft in the "thumbnail"...surely not click-bait?
That is the Me 323 Gigant. There is plenty of it in the video!
@@Dronescapes Oh oh...found it in the middle...that will teach me to skim and comment recklessly...🙄
@@johngunther6333 No problem John. It is a very common problem, much more than you could imagine, but it is a trait of our times. We are so much bombarded by information, that we tend to rush thought things or conclusions.
Wenn es sich hier Tatsächlich um Deutsche Flugzeuge Handelt, dann möchte ich auf eine Deutsche Beschreibung !!!
Turn on the German subtitles.
Die "Focke-Wulf 200 Condor", wurde nicht als Bomber hergestellt, sondern nur als Fernaufklärer und der Seeüberwachung, was zB die alliierten Geleitzüge anging. Für einen Bomber war die Struktur der "Condor zu schwach, denn diese Maschine wurde ja als Langstreckenreise-Flugzeug hergestellt. Spätere Versionen wurden zwar struturell verstärkt, aber nicht so, das daraus ein vollwertiger Bomber werden konnte. Dazu war die Ju 90 wesentlich besser geeignet, war aber bei weiten nicht in der nötigen Anzahl vorhanden.
Germany didn't plan o an extended world war - it was Britain's declaration that made it such. So Germany made no 4-engine bombers like Britain, and of course, insufficient transport planes..
Dear voiceover person, you are obviously not from the USA, and therefore have no use for aluminum as that is a comedy material.
Schlechte Übersetzung, sonst sehr Lehrreich ,Danke!
