Fucking legend
Wow.
Never expected Stalin to be here.
very clever comrade stalin
Fun fact: George Lucas is a fan of these stories and movies about the Allied air campaign in WWII. He was inspired by The Dam Busters to create the Death Star trench run in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Came to comment about this. Beat me to it.
Yes and he actually lifted a lot of scene verbatim from the Dambusters movie into A New Hope
Beat me to it
Thanks for the fun fact
Thank you for this
Quick note: Those dams cost a lot to repair and took a lot of men to rebuild em also lots of factories below the dams were damaged, the germans had to take a lot of time resources they just didn't have much of. And the fact that they did repair it showed how important does dams were. Also, a few months of a lot less power is kind of a big deal.
Yeah A blackout for me is already bad
(especially at night) since there's no heat or AC
And Imagine that for months?
yeah you can understand why they targeted it
de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6hnekatastrophe
I am not sure if that was worth it
@@Feroce no, I mean bombing military targets or military production would have not been such a waste of resources
@@seantaggart7382 1. I feel bad for you, blackouts suck,
2. Thanks for the reminder, the german citizens really started to distrust and doubt the government, these were people just more brainwashed and this event broke it a bit.
@@Feroce Agreed war created more dead and sad then heroes, it really is bad.
Imagine what the flak gunners were thinking
“Lancasters!”
“Why are they dropping metal barrels instead of bombs”
lolololololololololololololololol
The Lancasters send their regards
Lol
@@AA-yi5rk Mr.Hitler,Mr.Churchill sends his regards.

"Are you okay" "I think so" No further contact with the aircraft was made again. That gave me chills
“I think so... Stand by.”

@@templed2021 actually i didnt write a joke. They DIED! They had kids... family... You just dont know that war is HELL...
@@goki6548 You’re being over dramatic. Sure their efforts are appreciated but this is the Internet. Both sides had family and not every person in the German military was a Nazi. They were just fighting for their homeland.
@@ulyssespulido9556 yes. I didnt say germans have no feelings or etc. I just told him to respect people who died for their kids, and homeland. If you make bad jokes out of those brave men, you are just stupid or dont know what is war.
War isnt like the ones in videogames.. Its just hell... but worse then hell..
Oh this is what my math teacher meant when she said you would use this one day. Having to figure out how to skip a barrel on water, The amount of backspin will need, The height of which it will drop, the distance it will travel, The angle of the spotlights to calculate the distance above the water, The amount of explosives needed to take out the dam, The amount of courage men need to do this sort of thing!
Maths, unless you have a lisp.
Some dude on a pond: skips rocks
The goddamn RAF:
*oh sheisse*
RAF be like: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!
Y'all ever *SKIP BOMBS*
@Jace James nice
RAF: lemme show you how its done
Props to the engineers who made the dam
It did not fall in a single hit
You had to get it EXACTLY right... in the film, Barnes Wallace explains that any water between bomb and dam will cushion the detonation. IF the bomb is against the wall, however, the water works the other way and magnifies the destructive effect. Hence the need for the bomb to skip over the torpedo net, hit the dam, sink AGAINST THE WALL, and detonate at 30ft below surface..... Oh gosh; I've watched the film too often, haven't I?
@@mikethecabbie8476 ha, I have a joke about the film, but if i said it I would be murdered,let's just say it involves a certain dog....
For who doesn’t know these bombs were made by a civilian when he realized his barrels were able to keep bouncing on water if its spinning at high speeds he shared his dam busting idea with the military.
That won't happen in today's climate!
So un civilised
Wow cool
Isn't that how most British war inventions were made?
@@jamesshaw3500 "That won't happen in to day's climate!"
Yeah, you'd bloody hope we don't have to go through another WWII this century! Wait... are you saying it's bad that people don't build bombs in their sheds for the empire?
As an Aussie I have to admit I didn't know there were Australian pilots involved in this famous moment. Thanks so much for providing such entertaining videos.
That's a shame but I wouldn't blame myself. The good news is that things are changing. We are becoming more aware of the vital role our servicemen and women have played in all the major wars since 1900.
Watch the film, mate! Help from Aussies, Kiwis, and Candians in particular was critical to RAF. We also had escaped Polish, Czech forces helping us in Battle of Britain - and that's another film you need to watch!
Read the book and find out.
It was never a secret... But the commonwealth rarely celebrates it's achievements... for there is nothing truly to celebrate about war.
The old films and books told the tales but it was down to individuals to chose to read or watch them.
Let's be honest you were more or less still Brits back then.
"who you gonna call?"
DAM BUSTERS!!!
We forgot our Lancaster
There is something strange,in the german hood
*God "Dam" Those "Busters" Were Badass For Busting Those Dams.*
You beat me by 3 seconds
“Damnit”, your puns are so bad.
You are really "RUSSIAN" those puns out XD
WHO YOU GONNA CALL
Im "hungary" tho.
Wait theres norway theres food in the fridge.
well-
Yarnhub and oversimplified are the best history channel
When I was in second grade I lived in Germany and we went on a several day field trip to the area. We saw the Möhne dam and they explained this to us and showed us a video of how it worked in the museum there (I think). Totally over my head at the time, of course, but I always remembered snippets of the concept so this was really cool to see pop up in my feed!
"Umm... Hans"
"Ja, Fritz"
"Vhy are zhose english lancaster's dropping barrels at our dam?."
"I dunno. Maybe zhose brits are just messing arou-
Oh... Scheiße."
Scheibe mean?
@@danialzidaneamarty8493 don’t take my word for it (I don’t speak German) but I think it’s a cuss
@@danialzidaneamarty8493 *scheiße means "shit"
I love you
oh lol I didn’t know you liked these videos your videos are hella funny lol
This is such a good overview of the raid and really well animated. I’ve been reading a lot of books on the raid and 617 Squadron and this visualisation has been really helpful
Luke: Lining up the targeting computer then turns it off
Dam busters: going back to basics, lights and distance measure
Just goes to show how far away from thinking for ourselves. These blokes just went, " need a targeting device ...... fark it two sticks and a button hole works fine".
Brave, brave men.
And this telling of their heroism is wonderful.
Can we have a moment of silence for those who were lost in war. Allie or Axis let’s honor them.
@@crystxlzx6442 That goes without saying.
Legos and Weather Videos Thank you! Many only say that the allies should be honored or so. The reason why it feels better to read this for me is that my great grandpa was an gunner on Stab 1/NJG4(Ju 88G or Bf 110G). He died on the 13th September while he got in a dogfight with a british nightfighter. All four on the aircraft died. My great grandpa died from impact on ground...
Finland was a semi-axi country. Im from Finland :l
@@Entity282 Would you like to play war thunder Germany ground forces 4.3 with me? Kind of bored right now.
@@Entity282 that's because a lot of people think that all Germans were Nazi party members, while we know that is not the case.
**boy skips stone on a river**

Petition for Yarnhub to make a video on the "Battle of Osoweic Fortress" or better known as the ;
"ATTACK OF THE DEAD MEN"
Osowiec then and again
@Wesley Maxfield attack of the dead hundred men
@PBJMan hundred men, charge again , die again
Oh you mean ATTACK OF THE DEAD RUSSIANS.
I'll pay respect to you
Lmao we need another Sabaton collab
Fun fact.....the 1953 movie of the raid the weapon was still classified as top secret so the weapon was portrayed as spherical in shape
I have a question
Why are you guys sooo underated??🤔
RAF was one of the bravest air forces not discussed to that much extent,though they have hundreds of brave tales to tell. Good job Yarnhub! Salute to the British War effort against Nazis. Love from India mates! By India, I also wanna say Wing Commander Gibson was born in Shimla which is India during the time of British rule
Quite a few men named Singh have won the Victoria Cross. It is a name famous for bravery.
@@colindale5001 oh yes, a lot of soldiers from the British Indian Army's Sikh, Gurkha and Rajput Battalions have shown exceptional bravery in combat pre independence of India. The post independence army is as brave and skilled as well
The uncle of my grandfather was one of the Flakguys on the Möhne dam. He died
I clicked so quickly as Guderian went trough Ardennes.
Not as fast as The French surrendering
You had 18 days you know, Chasseur Ardennais, Resistand bite
Germany: NOOO, YOU CAN'T DESTROY OUR DAMS

Well no more dams today folks , contact our regiment to recive a free barrel pieces and a water fountain plus waterfall
I smile when you say ''The team is going to be famous to the name The dam busters'' this is my favorite part
I just smiled like a child and went
‘Yaaa, yaaaaa!’
This channel I think epitomises everything that we love to learn about history. The detail, the use of past photographs and audio files. The narration is gentle and acts like a smooth finish to an already perfection of a recipe. It's a joy to watch these videos. History channel and discovery can learn alot.
Wow, thank you!
I live in the near of the Möhne Dam and my Parents said to me that the Dam Busters crashed the Dam and they destructed it and then a whole Village was destroyed. Its pretty cool you made that because that is an side that not much say. Thanks for the Good Video Keep it up!
Cool ich lebe auch nur so 20min entfernt xD
Ich auch! Die Möhnesee ist aber auch super schön. Auch die Fähre darauf.
Man sieht auch in Fröndenberg, in der Nähe, das das Dach einer damals großen Papierfabrik einfach weg ist. Das Wasser hatte das Dach mitgerissen... Heute ist das ein Kettenschmiedenmuseum.
woah did you see the tallboys the ones who drop the barrels
My dad's university professor was a student of Barnes Wallis, the designer of the this bomb. What a great story!
The Brits have pulled off so many insane military movements, it’s actually incredible. Cracking enigma code, dday deceptions, this, it goes all the way back to the romans , Nelson on the hms victory you could go on all day
The Dam Busters, The Doolittle Raid and the Memphis Belle are the probably the most famous Flying missions of the entire Second World War. Could you all cover the Doolittle Raid?

The Lancasters send their regards
The brave men who flew that day also inspired the trench run in Star Wars in 1977
Last time someone called me by that name I had a baby 9 months later.
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
Thank you for acknowledging the Aussies in this

Great video as always.
Fun fact: I live in the town where guy Gibson crashed his mosquito at Steenbergen.
I’ve seen his grave and everything..
Cool
As a German I want to thank all of these brave soldiers who gave their lifes to bring peace to Europe and the World!
Brave brave men, what else can you say? I'm so proud of my country for doing the right thing during those dark times.
This is such an underrated, but beautifully captivating history channel. I greatly appreciate all of the work you have put into making all of these videos. The animation and storytelling are beautiful. Thank you for making these videos!
Speaking of the Dambusters, there is a really good book going into detail about the Dambusters called The Lancaster and the Tirpitz, authored by Tony Iveson, a Squadron leader in the Dambusters Really recommend it, A great book
Edit: Tony was the Squadron leader of the 617 squadron , Guy Gibson was a Wing Commander, sadly he died flying a mosquito later in war. Tony did survive and became a last witness(a person that had experienced fighting in a Lancaster before) and paired up with Brain Milton, a writer on the 70th anniversary to write this amazing book. It also has a special section where they talked about sinking the German army’s biggest battleships at that time, the sister ship of Bismark the Tirpitz
The handheld sights were never used as the plane would shake violently because of the spinning drum. instead, there was a cord attached to the sides of the bombardier's position, with a handle in the centre and a few knots to the side. the bombardier would hold the handle and look down it, and when the knots lined up with the dam (there were several, as the target dams had different widths) the bomb would be released. this method was far easier to keep steady than the handheld bomb sights.
It is thought that Gibson died because he did not have proper training for the mosquito he was flying, so he failed to find and activate fuel pumps, so crashed soon after. both him and his navigator were killed.

That was a great movie
Great animation. But there's a couple of factual errors. There was no anti-aircraft batteries at the Eder. Its difficult geography left the Germans to conclude that was protection enough, and they didn't install any flak. And the Sorpe was an earth bank dam, and had to be attacked parallel to the dam wall (not perpendicular) so there was no bounce at that dam, but otherwise, top class work guys.
I await the Sabaton song and subsequent video! 😉🤘
Once the dam broke the flood of water swept houses and every thing down in the valley away.
We had elderly woman at school who told us that she and her family went upstairs to flee the water entering the house and she was the only from her family escaping the loft through a window.
I would at least have mentioned the civilian casualties,let's not hope such a thing won't repeat in Europe ever again
many more were killed in the blitz and holocaust!
The last Survivor of the raid “Johnny” Johnson aged 101, has unfortunately passed on today
The Dam Busters who Destory dams day and night for operation they Destory dam Buster's with more effort wonderful Animation & Tribute to the Dam Busters 👍👍👍👍👍
_"If there's something strange, in your river banks, who you gonna call? Dam Busters!"_
I'm liking the vibrant colors. Thanks for this!
You Deserve more than 1 Million Subs. These Animations are Beautiful, and Narration? Bravo Yarn Hub!
This story partly inspired the Trench Run in Star Wars A New Hope.
Sad truth: many of the crew who survived this mission went on to die a couple months later, and even more before the end of the war. Maltby and his crew, the ones who breached the mohne, died 4 months later after a mysterious collision over the North Sea. His body was the only one found afterwards. Likewise, Gibson died before the end of the war also in mysterious circumstances. Most of them were in their mid to early twenties... scary to think.
What was the mysterious circumstance???
Why is this channel under-rated...
this is the best visual history channel in my opinion..
The dambusters should get a 'GOD DAM' Sabaton song
Every time, the animation gets better
*fun fact: the bouncing dam bomb was made at the NPL, National Physics Laboratory* 🧪 🧫 🔬
The quality of the videos keeps getting better, good job
Let’s remember these people who risked their lives for us.
These air crews had nerves of steel and accomplished their mission, good educational video
Amazing animation. This channel is getting better and better in every video.
Yeah
Thank you Bomber Crew to teach me about Operation Chastise
This channel is sooooo quick at improving
Great respect for animating this in Unreal!
Ingenuity in War is often mind-blowing this idea is incredible
You guys deserve as much recognition as kurzgesagt
The force is strong with Lt. Maltby
only one inconsistency: the eder was undefended. even so, it was a damn good animation.
What a good Quality Educational History Video!
Keep it up Yarnhub!
The dam buster is one of my favourite movies and stories 🍻🍻
I don’t know why you aren’t more popular. Superb animation and storytelling. 👍
These animations are just amazing.
I love Yarnhub ITS SOOoOOOOo much history in one video and tja animations keep getting better and better
one of these lancasters can still be found where it crashed. its in very poor condition
This is my favorite WW2 air strike because I have a favorite air strike, as one does. To think I can’t keep Cessna above the tree line without crashing inf flight sims, and those guys _barreled_ 60 feet over the water with a bomb in those rumbling Lancasters!
Ah but the dams may have been fixed in a few months but, thousands of German troops building the Atlantic Wall had to be pushed back to help the rebuilt and thus meaning that the Atlantic Wall was never at its highest strength at D-DAY. Also, the floods caused chaos and mass destruction in the heavily industrial Ruhr Valley, wrecking construction lines, railways and factories and shortening the German's industrial output in the crucial latter years of the war.
I studied about this operation and I wished someone could create that scene in a movie or something. Looks like my wish is fulfilled.
i always watched this film with my dad
i barely remember it or anything OF it but the phrase "dam busters" holds a place in memory
When your so early there are no views but 1 like
Guy Gibson was possibly shot down by a German nightfighter, he had been taken off flying duties after the dam buster raid but he asked for a transfer to the pathfinders,an elite mosquito squadron that marked targets for the main bomber stream.
I could watch this All day
My grandfather worked in Durr Hungary building Messerschmidt engines. One day, he was told that they were out of bearings and wouldn't get any for several weeks, so he was not able to build any more engines. No new engines meant no new planes, and that meant reduced air power for the Luftwaffe.
Yes, the raid was worth it.
You can do this in a video game, it’s called Bomber Crew. You get to fly a Lancaster from a 3rd person point of view.
I had the honour to see one of these beauts in person at Duxford a year or two ago! It was amazing and quite strange to be told that we could only touch it with the back of our fingers due to the oils on out palms breaking through the canvas eventually!
Bruh The Animation Evolves so much during episodes, Who else is gonna expect these guys to make full fledged movies, with voice acting. Love your channel Yarnhub, :D Keep it up! 👍👍👍.
Each and every video feels like I'm in a movie, good work!
Dang, the animation is CRISP!
Always the same German arrogance: Nobody can destroy the dam, so we don't need a defense of the Luftwaffe either🤨
This is the best I
These are the best I've seen. I'm a Vietnam vet and you made me feel proud again to be an America .l lost all pride in the US.after how we were treated after the war! Thank you !
Wow yarn hub all ways motivates me 😀
The quality of this video in animation and research is astounding! This channel will blow up!
Snifff... snifff....
Yep I was right, simple history did just shit their pants after seeing these animations
Perhaps as you say the operation did only leave a dent in the German war effort, but by this point Germany couldn't even afford a dent
In Nordhorn wurde so ein Bomber im September 1943 angeschossen und das Flugzeug ist in den Bauernhof Hood, wo jetzt der Vechtesee ist abgestürzt. Beim Vechtesee gibt es eine Gedenktafel !
