To understand those times guys, back then Yamamoto was the Osama bin Laden of our time. In the U.S., like bin Laden, Yamamoto was hated in every sense of the word. Parishioners would in churches across the Nation, led by the pastors, would in unison pray for the U.S. military to cause Yamamoto a violent painful death. Moreover, as when the Obama administration successfully killed bin Laden and announced "we got him" (which was followed by celebration nationwide), the announcement of Yamamoto's killing was met with jubilation and praise for the men who carried out the mission. On another front, I don't know what you guys are smoking, but all during WW II, and actually in all warfare past, top military commanders have always been a prized target. And the rules of warfare have always allowed for the killing of top military leaders.

Some sources state that more planes were destroyed. The climatized hangars, that allowed the technicians to work comfortably in winter, were destroyed. Thousands of spare parts, instruments, lots of aviation fuel, were also destroyed. Those "few days" when the airlift was stopped, meant death for thousands of almost starved germans. A week later, with his soldiers starving, Paulus capitulated.

Si j'avais été pilote de P40, j'aurais fais mon devoir, mais jamais je n'aurais marqué ces victoires sur mon zinc..Détruire des JU52 ou des ME 323, presque un meurtre. "A vaincre sans péril on triomphe sans gloire". (Corneille)

Excellent!

“Oh” is a letter; “zero” is the number. Zero nine thirty hours……

Too young to die :// he was real legend <3 increadible person, haha crazy one for sure but with pure heart and beauty, honorable soul) R.I.P handsome ! U were one and only !

Very well done! No glorifying war here. Really conveys the idiocy and futility of war.

Any war is not gonna never go well

The Fact that ONLY 2 German planes attacked the beaches that morning clearly was an indicator the War was OVER. The "Atlantic Wall" should have had aircraft ready to defend it ALL along it....the deception about Calais must have been total and absolute.

Why did'nt he not bail out before?

This popped up in my feed just a few weeks after my sister (who lived in the road named for him in Hornchurch) passed away.

Richthofen’s cousin, bring a novice pilot was told to keep away from any developing action. As shown, Richthofen went after May following the attack on his cousin. Richthofen broke his own rules of air combat, that of target fixation. Richthofen was known to be significantly battle fatigued and depressed by April 1818, through loss of so many comrades.

Bravo for quality details of the aircraft involved. Nice to see Dr 425/17 in realistic colouring and markings. Often incorrectly depicted as bright red or scarlet. Some arguments persist regarding the shade of red but I think you have it as close as possible, based on existing souvenir pieces. Many thanks 👍🏼

Hey, that's me.

Another awesome video! Thanks a lot for sharing

Amazing video, well made and explained.

It’s scary to think how they could have changed the air war if they could just been produced in larger numbers. Allied bombing destroyed the petroleum and manufacturing capabilities of the Nazi’s.

Nice that video games like IL2, Rise of Flight and Rome Total War can animate history so we can visualize what really happened. War is hell.

You are an incredible historian mate. Thanks so much 👌

Exactly who broke the Japanese code .

I'm one very proud great niece.

Great😊😊

Honorable Pat Pattle came to my attention back in 2019 when randomly researching South African WWII involvement: his story disturbed me that he wasn't properly recognized or mentioned anywhere. Really glad to see more content online about this! RIP Hero

Brrilliant.

Shit happened

A lot of dumb comments on this one.

These graphics make me want to play il2 sturmovik again

Wenn wir noch mehr von diesen Dingern bauen, vielleicht können wir ja den Krieg doch noch gewinnen?!

People point to Operation Chastise, the RAF raid to destroy the Ruhr dams in 1943 by 617 Squadron ('The Dambusters') as a successful low-level attack by heavy bombers, but when you take a closer look at the raid the awful cost is apparent. 19 Lancasters set out to strike six German dams: the Sorpe, Mohne and Eder (primary targets, the Sorpe most of all), plus the Ennepe, Lister and Diemel dams (secondary targets). That's a big ask for only 19 planes and 8 of them never came home, having either been shot down by flak on the way to, over, or on the way back from the targets, or else due to collisions with power lines. So that's almost a 50% loss rate right there. Additionally two Lancasters (piloted by Geoff Rice and Les Munro) aborted and returned early due to damage, Rice from a very close call when his Lancaster struck the sea and his bomb was torn off, and Munro when his Lancaster was hit by flak and the intercom (vital for a low-level precision attack) was destroyed. So for this success over half of the attacking force was lost. The Mohne and Eder dams were breached but both were repaired fairly quickly and neither was ever attacked again. For 617 there was a brutal postscript in the form of Operation Garlic, another low-level attack that was intended to destroy the Dortmund-Ems shipping canal. Nine Lancasters made two attempts (14th and 16th September 1943) to destroy the canal and a total of six were destroyed, again due to a combination of flak and terrain. Both Dambuster pilots, (David Maltby and Les Knight) who had breached the Mohne and Eder dams, died during Operation Garlic, as did both of the reserve crews who had been stood down on the night of the Dams raid, and the crew of Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC who had led the attack on the dams. Gibson himself wasn't with 617 for Garlic and his crew was fliying with Squadron Leader George Holden, his replacement. Unused to low flying, Holden flew too high on the first Garlic raid and was shot down. It was his first and only operation with 617, which gained a reputation as a suicide squadron. As a result of this carnage the RAF never again attempted a low-level raid.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Erm 🤓 actually it was 90 victories.

Thank you for the video. Wing Commander Peter Dutton was my grandfather. The CGI is awkward, but I loved hearing the story.

This was the Mediterranean equivalent of the battle of the Bismarck Sea in the Pacific, in the same year. ‘dolf’ for his fetishism of his darling feldmarschall Rommel’s generalship, got handed down to himself another doubled-down Stalingrad. After Alamein & Torch, Rommel decided there’s nothing else to do but cut & run out of Afrika But his dear fuehrer ordered him to stay & fight, vanquish or die. So he sent more troops & arms to Tunisia to in the end provide : - the 🇺🇸 with much needed training - the 🇬🇧 with the apotheosis of their African Trilogy - the 🇮🇹 with the iron will to get out of the war - nazi Germany with another giant defeat - & himself, ‘dolf, with a Colonel Stauffenberg & his bomb 💣

12:26 Yes, thanks to Lanphier who drove away the Zeros 7:11 -> 7:36

The death of an air ace, not so easy to digest!

A shame he chose to ditch rather than bailing out

If you need any help (DetCord) let me know. More that willing to take some weight off your shoulders with regards to livery creation.

Poor courageous boy :( I am sorry you had to fight and die in a war caused by stupid men, wars are stupid, let there be an end to them.

Whatever happened to his Tri-plane

09:31 Richthofen pov: this isn’t the German line-

Also keep in mind that the Soviet 85th Tank Corp embedded with the 51st Army was completely destroyed along with the bulk of Shapkin's 4th Cavalry Corp (81st and 61st Cavalry Divisions) during the attempted relief effort coming from the direction of Kotelnikovo.

Good research and brilliantly put together.

As a little girl Uncle ‘ strycek Karel’ taught me to dog fight “ If you spot the enemy during the day head into the sun . It will blind them. …. zig zag constantly to confuse them”. I’ve written his story with his brother ( my father ) Jan. TANGMERE MUSEUM have copies and asked permission to show your film in the CzSlvk section ? Please rsvp … mimi

Allowed had to do was allow the FW 190s yo give cover

Another excellent video! Thank you VERY MUCH! I subscribed a long time ago and I pass your videos to my friends who are WW2 buffs. Their English is not very good but it doesn´t matter, your visuals are stunning! Greetings from Argentina! 🤩👌🤩

Now I know Richthofen's final appearance. I realized that Werner Voss went down first.

Australian? Really? In Europe, where the Red Baron wrecked havoc in the skies? Didn't You mean Austrian? Definitely closer to Europe in those terms...

Do you not think ? It's strange that there's No actual gun camera footage from the P 38 's?
