Die Me 262, der erste serienmäßig gebaute Düsenjet, der beim Überflug auf der Hahnweide (bei Kirchheim unter Teck) sprachloses Erstaunen auslöste! Ein tolles Flugzeug! Als Bomber allerdings ungeeignet!
If they could of stuck to a few quality designs they could have got furthur imo, they were so scattered and using resources in every direction, Concentrate on atomic research and one tank design and a few other things only.
Very rare footage. I was whitness to the two V weapons at the Imperial War Museum London in '72 very insidious as I was 14 at the time. My father was also a young lad in Kent when he described his sighting of the buzz bomb on a chalk board at the local garage, and described the sound as unforgettable.
David Irving, controversial historian wrote the best book by far about German program making this weapons. We are very lucky Von Braun ruined other important weapons by flowing way too much money into V2 in hope of flying to space. If this didn't happen Germany would invest into jet fighters, America jet bomber, Flying Wing and other extremely advanced designs for the time and even decades later.
This was a superb aircraft despite a few teading problems in the beginning, Germany simply couldn't produce the numbers needed to stop the bomb streams, the Allies could put one thousand bombers in the air at once...
Great video, amazing technology they had back then, but a couple of questions come to mind. Watching the V2 film, wouldn't it have been better to have launched from the rail carts they used for transporting it, everything needed would have been in there on the train?. Why didn't they design it with solid rocket fuel, or hydrogen peroxide, cheaper & less technical to build?, the only thing I can think of is, Von Braun's real objective was to develop a space rocket, so wanted to keep it liquid-fueled. If the Germans would have concentrated on the ME262 & AR234 would have been buggered.
Thanks for not serving up Discovery Channel slop. There's nothing new to discover on that wavelength and the History Channel is now the His-Story Channel, a 24/7 Jebus biography. This has good rarely seen footage. Hooray!
V2 rocket starting from Peenemünde reached about 10.000 meters altitude in about 1942. This was never done before. Range big enough to reach London. If the technique would have been better they could have turned the whole war. But this was just the beginning. Kim could not have his little rocket babies without A 4 / V 2 history.
Nope. The V2 simply didn't have the capacity to "turn the whole war". A typical allied heavy bomber could deliver 3-4 times the payload of a V2, with better accuracy, at a greater range, on every mission, for however many missions it survived. Once all the numbers get crunched; it would have taken many millions of V2's to deliver the same load as hundreds of bombers and they still would not have had the accuracy of said heavy bombers. We are talking about, at least, three orders of magnitude. Even if the allies, with their vastly superior industrial capability, had devoted their entire arsenal to producing millions and millions of ballistic rockets like the V2? They would not have equaled the effect of the heavy bombers. A V2 cost about as much to produce as a heavy bomber and it was only good for one shot. The V2 was an awesome technical achievement but it was also one of the least practical weapons in human history. The only thing that could have made it truly effective would have been nuclear warheads.

Great documentary very well researched. Thank you 👍

Very informative and honest. TY!
Arado234what a stunning aircraft.
That Mosquito at the start was first aircraft ATTACKED by a jet, it escaped. A PR Spitfire was the first victim.

The Nazis are like the Empire in Star Wars. Evil megalomaniacs but with all the cool weapons and vehicles!
Actually the Empire is like The Nazis. Lucas got a lot of ideas for the Empire from the Nazis, like the uniforms, ideals, weapons, and structure.
@@sam8404 Exactly.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
To be an early jet pilot. Jeeesus. Trust my arse. Here we goooooo,.....
Amazing!
Germany's main problem was the Allied bombing, so this aircraft should of only be a fighter...
34:40 ALWAYS makes me laugh my ass off when I see the failed launch!
who made this Documentary, i need it for a school report.
How did the report go?
The nazis made it , and the Allie’s published it !
Aluminium has a much lower melting point than steel. Combustion chambers do not use Aluminium.

The railway lines were under constant bombardment by the allies and sabotage by the oppressed. It would have been counter productive.
omg they killed kenny

Anybody know the song at @33:40 ? Thanks In advance !
Brilliant but bloody ads every 5 mins.. Deadly stuff!.. Holy shit don't you just love war.. FML.
Self evidently very low altitude and very short range...

No V-2 = No NASA
and the rockets were fired at innocent civilians
It's amazing that they could take a subject this cool and make it this boring. I couldn't finish this.
How? How was this boring? If you are interested in the subject, then how?
