    My grandfather's brother, my great-uncle, was a test pilot at Messerschmitt. He was one of the first men who flew the ME262 as a test pilot. He was an instructor for the pilots who switched from the 109 to the ME262. During the last months of the war he was shot down in his ME262 when he ran out of fuel. He survived. Later he was a driving instructor for men who came disabled from the war. He also worked as a flight instructor. A routine check-up revealed that his diaphragm was torn. That came from being shot down in the war. He then died during the operation.

    The 262 always looked like a shark of the skies to me...

    In my town there still lives a guy who flew that thing from mid 44 to May 1945 in Kampfgeschwader 54! He turned 99 on 23rd of January.

    Dear Chris Bismark, I really enjoy your videos, I'm from México.

    It really is amazing that there's actual footage of the plane defecting. This definitely should be on a monitor next to the exhibit.

    The ME 262 Schwalbe remains one of the prettiest and most elegant aircraft to this day.

    I was lucky to work on an original Me 262 restoration and some of the newly manufactured Me 262's in Washington state. I got to sit in the cockpits and found the layouts very functional for control usage and readable for instrument/indicator groupings. The only awkward feature for me was the length of the control stick. The hand grip sat about mid-chest - a good deal taller than American designs that I'm familiar with.

    Amazing plane, amazing engineering! Very interesting and well-produced documentary. I appreciate that german historians and documentarians are willing to discuss the "inconvenient truths" and "warts" of the German war production( Something the Japanese refuse to do to this day).

    " As if an angel is pushing " Adolf Galand said this when first flying the 262 ,I presume when experiencing the superb acceleration without the usual vibration and noise of a piston engine.

    I saw a 262 at Pensacola Fl. and it was stunning to see up close, the most beautiful war bird of all time.

    I believe the ME262 did indeed manage to down more than one Mosquito. The incident where a Mosquito escaped a attack by a ME262 happened on 15 August 1944. The Allied pilot flying the Mosquito that day was my grandfather, Captain Solomon “Pi” Pienaar, AFC, DFC. His navigator was Lieutenant Archie Lockhart-Ross DFC. This is his personal account.

    My grandmother told me once that my great-grandfather was a test pilot in one of these planes. He died in a crash

    Great video, I've always thought the 262 is a beautiful looking aircraft.

    You can image how pissed i was to realize that this part of the museum was closed when i went to Munich in 2016. I was so hooked to see these things in person and then came to the part of museum which said... this area is under reconstruction...

    I've seen this video multiple times in the last 2 years and it is always a delight. This is an outstanding piece of information and historical contextualisation a fantastic work of research that I doubt could be overcome by traditional TV documentaries over BBC or History Channel. At least I've never seen one alike. Congratulations Christoph, you rock! Greetings from the south-westernmost tip. Um abraço.

    Thank you for all of the added information about the function and placement of the instruments and components. It is so much better than most shows where presenters may know basic history, but not how the aircraft (or other machines) actually function. It makes such a huge difference in how interesting the subject is.

    You did an outstanding job of this presentation! I found the amount of detail very refreshing and informative. I look forward to more programs of this high quality.
