In my opinion the downfall of the luftwaffe began with the Battle of Britain. just not needed, as Britain was not strong enough to be an offenive threat, just enough to be a credible defence, it wasted its increasing power, wasted resources, money on fantastic and advanced designs too far ahead of their time, their 'wunderwaffe' was fantasy at the time, when basically, only a proven, standardized design produced in high numbers were what was needed. They came so close to capturing Moscow, what difference an un-depleted luftwaffe could have made in Barbarossa?
I feel like you aren't accepting the fact they made 30k plus bf109. Fw190s in droves. The downfall was material and doctrine. Blitzkrieg was awesome for small or unprepared and close targets. Strategic bombing proved sadly decisive. Doctrine of crack pilots staying on the front and not becoming trainers. Material resource shortages decreasing training times. The only air force better than the luftwaffe was the US, because they took experienced pilots half way across the world and used em to train other pilots and material advantages to win. End of story.
Same with the attack on France Russia and Poland. Hitler should have stayed home in 1938 his government was a success and he went and ruined everything.
Why was never Knighted? Listen to him on Desert Island Disca on BBC Sounds App, especially his Looping the Loop under the Forth Rail Bridge , very, very funny
There is no real debate as to why the Germans were defeated. They were overwhelmed with sheer numbers. They simply didn't have the industrial capacity to keep up with the allies, irregardless of any advanced aircraft that they may have been able to build.
Few things…lack of quality fuels, materials and they kept their aces in the field instead of sending them home to Germany to train new recruits…all axis powers suffered from this
59:40…..the German designer of the F-82 Twin Mustang, who was also the designer of the P-51 Mustang, was Edgar Schmued, of North American Aviation. This was seemingly kept hush-hush during and after the war…for obvious reasons.
They had limited access to all types of fuel towards the end. They could make syn oil, but NOT syn fuel. Also, deep Russian Mud, and the harsh winters teamed up with Russians, to kick their arses
Can it carry bombs?, for the 262,the heinkel 280 could have been the other jet, both could have been ready for the bomber offensive, glad things worked out the way they did, but the misuse of the jet tech was critical
Uh, the Germans conquered all of Europe without a heavy bomber. The heavy bomber worked for allies only because of massive numbers (and casualties) which Germany could never match. How would heavy bombers have won Stalingrad? Heavy bombers could have leveled England, but so what? The factories were in America. England was a landing strip.
@@Cameron-d2n Constant flying day in day out (fatigue PTSD etc) that when the stats worked out (chances of dying during any one engagement multiplied by the number of engagements = 100% so always resulted in their death... they flew until they died or if injured... when healed they flew again......

DroneScapes Channel is one that does not get enough credit. Thanks for your effort!
This video was so well-made! Every detail was perfect.

In the year 2024, the caption generator auto-censors "Focke". Come on TH-cam, your platform seems more broken every week that passes.
Why was Eric "Winkle "Brown never promoted to Major or Colonel?
Why was never Knighted? Listen to him on Desert Island Disca on BBC Sounds App, especially his Looping the Loop under the Forth Rail Bridge , very, very funny
Because he was in the Royal Navy. He retired as a Captain. The next grade up was Admiral.
@@ThomasCrouse-x6z not Commodore?
He would have been on hell of an astronaut.

But this is still good shit though

when was this documentary made?
Do you mean when Captain Brown was interviewed?
Presumably before he died in 2016.
This documentary itself?
Presumably 2024.....

Effects followed by causes
They needed a 4 engine bomber and started to use the me262 by 43

Sounds like what Russian is using as a play book
Man they had some wierd old ideas, towing mini fighters with prone pilots behind 109's ?...parachutists in pods on a planes wings?!😂
Simple, the loss of experienced pilots
Duh, but what led to the loss of so many experienced pilots
