Very complicated aircraft. Managing the electrical system alone seemed like a full-time role.

I don't know why I love this plane? is it the position of the cannons? is it the canopy? I just don't know.

1/3 = 33%

Thanks!

Great video! Thanks!

In operational service the He 219 never achieved the performanve figures often quoted, and according to Eric Brown the famous allied test pilot who flew one post-war it was very under powered.

Most of the used footage and pictures have nothing to do with the topic. Many of the pictures where taken from artwork crated for boxes of model kits.

This aircraft always gave the mental image of Popeye. Wonder why….

Germany was winning the war in the first half of 1941. Then they invaded Russia in June and declared war on the US in December. After that they were doomed. Nothing they could do could save them. They could have done better or worse but they could never have saved themselves. .

The tail of this plane bothers me somewhat

You’re good. The research is there. Don’t try so hard to be “funny”, otherwise you’ll get stuck on 16.1k subs…….but interesting video - Thank You

As many times as I hear it, I'm still stunned how people responsible for the fate of their nations can let their egos and petty grievances get in the way while their fighting men and civilians are out there dying by the minute.

Greetings from Germany 😃 its Uhu, cause of the sound of the bird 🤷‍♂️ german is easy 😂🖖

The SB2U, in some ways, reminds me of the TBD Devastator. Both are naval aircraft mostly obsolete by the start of world war 2. They both fought bravely in similar roles and were replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Winkle Brown was not impressed. "Underpowered" and "Poor Brakes" were his notes on the UHU.

Intro music?

Never heard of them. Must had a short service life

drop the obnoxious asshole voice shtick, you're not funny

Beaufighter.... Beautiful fighter, absoulutely !

What an armament:430mmkal.kannon in a bventral traythat packs a punch😊

The he 219 is absolutely a beautiful aircraft and it was in a virtually brand new state when captured I'm fortunate enough to live fairly close to the Udvar Hazy center of the NASM if you Love planes it is a must visit

Milch was an incompetent idiot!!

Thanks for the video I never realised there was 3 aircraft that had the uhu monika (always smile when i hear that as theres a brand of adhesive in the UK called u-hu), clears up why I'd see reference to uhu's but see totally different aircraft.

Das ist sehr interessant.

Typical Third Reich b.s. A mixture of rivalry, politics, petty jealousy and graft.

Great video just one thing late war German kill claims were very suspicious On one night HE219s claimed 6 mosquitoes shot down RAF records show no losses

His dauntlessness.

👍👍👍

Wow, seems like it was a piece of junk.

There is plenty of pictures of the Vindicator that you could have used?. And drawings as well!.

There is this myth that the Germans were somehow really efficient and effective. In truth Germany was an inefficient mess, where nepotism, corruption and incompetence, as well as political infighting, were running riot. It's quite remarkable that the german war economy managed to achieve as much as they did

The issue with internal squabbling and point scoring within the Nazi party heirarchy was common throughout WW2 and not just with the 219. Maybe it was just as well for the Allies, otherwise German industrial might could have caused a lot more issues.

Howdy! I’ve been listening to your podcast for quite awhile now, and I had a suggestion for a bird I hold very close. The Do 335! It’s been a big favorite of mine for a long time and I’d love to hear you cover it!

I saw the "Dive Bomber" (1941) movie and was impressed at the time. (1960's) I've since read that the Vindicators' glide bombing tactic was much less successful than SBD's dive bombing at the Battle of Midway. But I see that reality is very different.

It's nice to see the vindicator get the spotlight for once, I'm sure this is another great episode!

Good video, very informative.

Hey this is really good

There is only ONE 'Royal Air Force' and that IS the British one. Shrage Musik was not generally aimed at the belly because that's where 7 tonnes or so of bombs were located. They learned early doors to aim for the wing roots where fuel tanks were located. Homebound bombers however . . . Otherwise fascinating post, thank you for taking the trouble.

THis thing has four 20mms and two 30mm it was a monster! I play this thing in war thunder and I love it!

The Junkers 288A was also destined to be kicked to the curb, Built around a pair of the Jumo 222, their water cooled 24 cylinder Inline/radial, the pistons and cylinders and head were all based on Junkers' high RPM Jumo 211~212 series of bomber V-12 engines that also gained notoriety for their use in the FW 190D and 152. The Jumo engine plant was seriously destroyed in late 1944 and with it the tooling for their 222. It was the near equivalent of the Bristol Centaurus.

Gee! With the deafening sound of those four unmuffled radial engines running at speed, and yet the USAAF considered the cockpit _'too noisy(?)_ That's puzzling!

As I recall "Winkle" Brown wasn't that impressed with it?

The concept of divide et impera, to have competing offices to get the best results turned into the opposite due to prestigious thinking and rivalties. It was used to control each of the offices and to diminish their influence, which it did, with compromising success overall.

In German there is a saying: "If you have friends like that, you don't need any more enemies." But that was exactly the result of National Socialism. Influential industrialists, but also Nazi politicians, were constantly feuding. This is one of the differences between dictatorship and democracy. One man (Hitler) either approved or denied weapons systems himself. But even though I'm interested in technology, including weapons technology, I can't imagine how many years longer the war would have lasted, and how many millions more people directly in the war or through further mass murders and genocides, victims among the civilian population, even your own, death would have overtaken you. As a German, I can only say that luckily it didn't come to that.

This is what Axies (Japan Germany and Italy) of 2ww was all about ---> bad decisions in crucial times. ❤

Some drawing come from comic "Le Grand Duc" by Romain Hugault, great.

The Schrage musik was mainly used to aim for engines rather than belly. Imagine blowing up an aircraft with its bomb load on board.. not a good thing to be under. Great video nonetheless

Hey yank, it's pronounced "Mozzie" in Real English ! But just the same, fantastic video !

Awesome ! More please.....

Thank you for the introduction, and education, of the Polish Air Force, and the P-11!!! As much as you were unaware, of the Polish contributions in WWII, with their Air Force, and this aircraft, so was I (and I follow WWII, and it's weaponry. And I'm Polish). So Poland was the first Allie sorte, to shoot down, an Axis plane😲⁉️ And it was the P-11🤔!? And Poland produced, the first Ace to emit, outta WWII?? Would that be, on BOTH SIDES???
