What's your point? That Germany during that time wasn't so advanced among others? That a balloon is much more advanced than the technological achievements of the Germans back then?
@@maximilianj.gatsby5330 On December 4, 1894, meteorologist Arthur Berson rose 9,150 meters in an open balloon. Five and a half years later, he and a colleague even reached 10,500 meters - which is still a world record today. The existence of the stratosphere was proven with the daring balloon flights.
Even near the end of the war, the V2 launch sites were very busy launching more and more rockets. They were not aimed at the advancing troops, but rather at London. The V2 really was a vengeance weapon, and the idea was to destroy morale of allied troops. They would be advancing deeper into Germany while London was being blown to shambles. The Germans wanted to make it so the troops had nothing to come home to. Almost sounds like something out of a dramatic movie. V2 really earned its name.
@@charlesburgoyne-probyn6044 V1 and V2 bombs did have guidance systems. The V1 was set on a timer, so all of the math would have to be done before hand and the V1 launched. Timer goes out and the engine shuts off. The V2 was more sophisticated and could be programmed to hit targets. A completely indiscriminate weapon would be regular mortars, etc. I call the V1 and V2 guided weapons because a skilled operator could have them hitting specific targets, while bombs and grenades aren't nearly as precise.
@@MLGPRO-dx8fg okay could they be set to target a specific building or structure in Britain? No! There wasn't the means at the time! They could be set to land somewhere in the London area what they hit was chance hence a terror weapon
@@film57r7 How is fatman the atomic bomb no different to the Vengeance rockets? Tell me why a single atomic bomb that killed thousands is good than a hundred V1 and V2 rockets combined not enough to reach the same devastating effect may these rockets be titled "evil"? Just because it was made by your enemy doesn't necessarily mean it's evil if you aswell have the potential to harm your enemy with the same effect or even more. Consider putting yourself in your opponents position and you might call yourself evil for the things you also did or could do somewhere else.
Because it's one of the Wunderwaffe project for the propaganda purpose establish by NSDAP ministry of propaganda without the NSDAP these weapons wouldn't exist
Fun Fact: Von Braun when trying to promote the idea of building rockets to the moon actually went on TV curtesy of Walt Disney to promote the very idea.

“Evil weapon” Please disregard all the various destroyed Syrian, Middle Eastern and Asian villages and all the various other uses the rocket technology and its creators were used for afterwards
Yeah outcome would be different, Germany could’ve lose faster, Germany could’ve lose slower, The Soviets manage to occupy the entirety of Germany, The Western Allies got the entirety of Germany, the one thing that’s constant is once Germany began WW2 it will always lose.
@Anschlusser Well... If neither USA nor UDSSR got involveld and the axis actually wouldve Worked together... Britain would Most Likely have crumbled. But the required Ifs Just were too much
@@Statesmensch No, that's not true 3 factors were decisive for the defeat.

Some war historians think the V-2 was an advancement upon the V-1 rocket bombs, both of which were made by the German Porsche firm and factories; which after the war obviously turned to high end very fast luxury cars. Von Braun, who incidentally had he not been such a successful war scientist would have qualified as a top-tier war criminal having used many enslaved, meth-stimulated workers, primarily worked with we Americans and with NASA on follow-ups to the V-2 line of design. For today's American military purposes, which I am working on, the V-1 rocket bomb gives us an historical model to build on. I mean the general rocketry and detonation technology of course; but more specifically I mean the wings. Our current missiles, and those of our adversaries, do not have wings. But short missile wings with high end rocketry and a highly sophisticated AI guidance and heat-seeking systems onboard can move toward a destruction targeted group of life-forms or even easier a military or architectural structure, occasionally zigging and zagging in genuine but wing-controlled chaos long enough to lose missile defense trackers and projectiles or fall out of the sky as if 'dead' before regaining steady flight and self and target latitude and longitude. This is a very specific military science product for American use that would apply not so much to current wars or the current defense situation but rather to the next era of world war tech; and the unlikely but possible scenario of a great power war with sophisticated AI-assisted missile and missile defense systems in play.
If the V1 and V2 were available in 1939 or 1940 would they have been within range to cause damage to RAF airfields and with enough launched to then enable Luftwaffe raids without the RAF to attack???
in Harlow Essex , north of London we have 2 sites of V2 "landings" , one is now a pond in a nature reserve , the other is a slight depression in a playing field , they werent very accurate. I am led to believe there is a 3rd but its not obvious
How were the rockets evil? I'd love to watch a video answering that question. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were they evil? They were vastly more powerful. Or the literal fire Bombs Britain dropped on Dusseldorf? A city with NO military importance, a city named many times the most beautiful in Europe.
These are the rockets you think of when you hear German rockets in World War II. But there are 2 other, rather unknown rockets. Wasserfall was the name of a German liquid rocket that was developed as an anti-aircraft missile from 1943. Around 40 test flights took place from 1944. The rocket was intended to support anti-aircraft batteries against high-flying bombers up to a distance of 48 km. After the war, it was one of the foundations for the development of the first American and Soviet anti-aircraft missiles. The Enzian was a German anti-aircraft missile under development during the Second World War. The missile was intended for both ground-to-air and air-to-air use. It was developed in Oberammergau by the Oberbayerische Forschungsanstalt, a branch of Messerschmitt-Werke, and tested at the Peenemünde-West air force test site, among others.
Tbh while I appreciate the crazy engineering behind the V2, I always thought the V1 was both cooler in terms of concept and objectively superior to the V2 considering how easy the production was and how much focus was put into lowering the cost.
I believe the cost vs traditional bombings, also accuracy And once Germany started loosing they started deploying there last valuable remaining resources to other war departments and the eastern and western fronts
They most likely didn’t know where the strategic sites were. They were firing it on England as punishment and revenge. As long as the trajectory was capable to reach london dense areas, mission accomplished!
I think there is an Error in the Dokumentation, as far as in know from an educational film for the personal which armed the v1 in wartime, the Puls-Engine get started with „Pressluft“ (transl.

I agree but the way they made people work in concentration camps and then murdered them is horrible you have to agree, and they targeted cities. But surely as a Jewish guy I'm saying that the v1 and v2 where innovations at the time gotta agree
Evil German weapons? How British characterise their own? Virtous? certainly their weapons helped people in colonies to liberate themselves from boredome providing cheap labour to their masters.
Dumb title. These weapons are no more "evil" than any of the weapons the Allies developed and used. They are just tools. Why does everyone try to be so dramatic? You just end up looking stupid in the process.
The V1 is NOT A ROCKET. It is a jet propelled cruise missile. How much credibility do you think your video has with this uneducated title? Oh and nice job on the "dramatic voice", i wonder how much practice that takes.

Would bei nice If you could include metrical stats. Maybe vocaly or visually

Ingenious weapons, but they took money and resources from where they were better used, like aircraft and weapons

The V1 was not a strictly a rocket - it was an unmanned jet aircraft.

the v2 was not the first man amde object to leave the earths atmosphere, the paris gun projectiles did the same during ww1
Didn't they only enter the stratosphere?
And where is V3?
V1 was not a rocket. It was powered by a pulse jet.
Let’s ignore that Von Braun worked at *nasa*
2:20 That is false. The engine could operate even at standstill but it needed speed to get the rocket to fly.
