- In the dark days of World War II, as the storm clouds of conflict gathered over Europe, one military force rose to prominence with unprecedented speed and power: The Third Reich's military juggernaut. Led by Adolf Hitler and propelled by their advanced technology and modern weapons of warfare, the Wehrmacht seemed unstoppable, carving a path of devastation and conquest across the continent. But what was the secret behind their terrifying strength, and how did they manage to change the face of warfare forever?
From the menacing panzer tanks that dominated the battlefield to the devastating V-2 rockets that rained destruction from the skies, the Third Reich's technological prowess played a crucial role in shaping the course of the conflict. These cutting-edge weapons and tactics enabled the Nazi war machine to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. As the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once declared, "Give us the tools, and we will finish the job."
Join us as we delve into the inner workings of the Nazi war machine, uncovering the secrets behind their formidable power and the technological innovations that propelled them to the forefront of global conflict. Welcome to the diary of Julius Caesar.
Revolutionizing Warfare. The Technological Edge of the German Army in World War II.
During World War II, the German military demonstrated an exceptional capacity for innovation and technological development. As they sought to gain an advantage over their adversaries, the German military designed and implemented some of the most advanced weaponry and technology of the time. This period of rapid innovation laid the foundation for many of the modern technologies we see in warfare today.
The Messerschmitt Me 262, often referred to as the "Swallow," was a marvel of aeronautical engineering for its time. As the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft, it was developed under the watchful eye of Dr. Willy Messerschmitt, a renowned German aircraft designer. The Me 262 made its first successful test flight on July 18, 1942, piloted by Fritz Wendel. The aircraft's innovative design, combined with its revolutionary jet engines, allowed it to reach speeds of over 540 mph, making it significantly faster than any Allied aircraft of the era.
Despite its potential to change the course of the war, the Me 262 faced numerous challenges, including political interference and delays in production. It wasn't until August 1944 that the first Me 262 was delivered to the Luftwaffe. By then, Allied bombing campaigns had already taken a toll on German infrastructure and production capabilities. Nevertheless, the Me 262 showcased the German military's aptitude for technological advancement, and it became a symbol of their relentless pursuit of innovation.
Another groundbreaking technology developed by the Germans during the war was the V-2 rocket, officially named the Aggregat 4. This long-range, liquid-fueled missile was the world's first operational ballistic missile, capable of reaching targets more than 200 miles away. Designed by Wernher von Braun and his team at the Peenemünde Army Research Center, the V-2 rocket was a direct response to Hitler's desire for a "vengeance weapon" to retaliate against Allied bombing campaigns.

Okay like where is the weird futuristic looking nazi vehicle photograph imaged on the main (lure) page cuz its definitely not in the video?
pretty much the only reason why I clicked on this video. I know about all this other cool stuff.
Yea what's up, I also looked at this for what's on the the cover
When i see that, i add the channel to the do not recommend list
Look above you :)
@@PhilJonesIII no explanation, i wana know what it is, what it was.
Kudos to your editor! What an outstanding job of adding motion to these still photographs. Well done my friend and thank you for the terrific video.
Nearly 45 minutes and you really scratched the surface of their technologies. I would've liked to hear more about the other projects they had going on, die glocke, nuclear, and more about their amazing firearms. RIP to these men who lost their lives on both sides and may we learn to live in peace and harmony
die glocke didn't exist and their nuclear program was dead in the water from the start
Judging by your interest of those technologies. i'd say peace is a dead horse.
Die Glocke was a myth, Norwegian commandos trashed their heavy water plant crippling their nuclear program and as for 'amazing firearms' they made curved barrels that didnt really work, giant railway based artillery that didnt really work, a submachinegun that was immediately surpassed by the inferior soviet ppsh, same with the sturmgewehrer whose longest lasting legacy is being stolen by the soviets and turned into the much more successful AK 47, V1's got tipped out the sky by allied fighters, V2's were about as accurate as a horroscope, and despite having the first operational jet fighter they lacked the fuel to keep them in the air, just what part of the German war machine do you think ACTUALLY WORKED as intended?
@@GrumpyMunkyGameDesigndon’t forget the “ Tornado Cannon”😂
Never worked but was intended to produce tornadoes 🌪️ 😅
Nothing ever worked as intended…to many lies, too many trying to invent rather than grab a gun and get slaughtered..
I’d try the same 😊
@@GrumpyMunkyGameDesignthey came extremely close to taking over a large portion of the world , surely their “war machine” was better than you’re claiming . America’s space program and its successes were almost entirely due to nazi scientists as well. I think you’re being rather disingenuous here.
Interesting video and info; thank you for sharing and great editing.
The more obscure tech pics and video was extraordinary; not often talked about.
Imagine the level of technology that we would have if we all worked together instead of against each other
It wouldn't be nearly as advanced
Competition is the root for rapid innovation.
@@Killhendrixx We don't know anything else but money and depression.
We should be leagues ahead of where we are now. Not only is our technological advancement lagging but our physical and mental evolution is bound to a figment of our imagination. An economy designed to keep the entire population enslaved and stagnant.
Due to mandated inflation we wouldn't even be able to afford to use the technology to save ourselves from an asteroid. An excalibur round costs $110-150.t to have and to hold a regular about $2000. Both are nowhere coming even close to being worth a third of that.
People have been denied the right to freely stake a patch of land, purely so that they will be forced to participate in the idiocy. Fertile land denied so that they can be forced to harvest coltan for 18 hours everyday for the right to breathe.
This thing will fail. And when it does we will no longer possess the restraint to merely destroy each other with green paper or numbers in a bank account anymore. Our descendants will be sucking the marrow from the bones of their dead relatives.
And this is all innovative because you have the privilege of having a few moments to fit a choke on your collar to be more presentable while you suck cheesy mens sticks for 80% of your waking life?

Stuff the technology... imagine the peace on earth if that was a thing!
Nice graphics! Good job editing team!
The designation of the jet aircraft was the "Me 262" with the letters "M" and "E" pronounced separately. Not the word "me".
Thanks for saying that its driving me crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. It's M,E,2,6,2 !
Think that's bad, he calls the Junkers JU 87 the "Jew 87".
lol
I especially liked the part about the UFO in the thumb nail
As a Canadian, thank you for aknowledging we existed and fought at Normandy. Americans tend to forget we exist and act like Normandy was just 100% only won thanks to them, F all other nations, the british tend to take all the credit and just say ''British forces''.
My great-uncle fought at Normandy on the ground. The stories that passed on are... horrific. He survived and made it home, but... only physically. Committed suicide a few years later. The Americans taking all the credit, well, that's just expected, they just don't mention us, but Britain taking the credit actually hurts, feels like spitting on his grave. Sadly, the bigger countries tend to control history's narrative, so plenty of TH-cam historians keep that version of the story, so thanks :)
There's a story, not sure how accurate it is, of the American representative at a post-war assembly complaining that Canada shouldn't be there since we were a dominion. It was then pointed out that Canada lost more soldiers per capita then the US in WW2. We fought, A LOT. The Italian campaign was brutal, the Battle of Ortona has been called by some historians the Italian Stalingrad. The liberation of the Netherlands was filled with operations that cost many Canadian lives in order to protect civilians, after which Canadian soldiers still shared their rations, blankets and everything they could with civilians. Hell, Americans talk about WW1 like they completely turned the tides and saved the world even though they came in super late without their own equipment for the most part. We were there since the start, were the targets of the first 2 gas attacks in history (the first was aiming for colonial troops next to us), never lost against the Germans up to the last 100 days and won with a motto that should be ''outmanned, outgunned, undefeated''. Oh, and we did it all with almost zero war crimes. We did it all thanks to revolutionary tactics (Arthur Curry is a god damn genius, the man predicted WW2 with a 6 months margin of error)
Little interesting fact about WW1 Canada: Want to know what the Germans called us? Stormtroopers. Swear to god, look it up.
Sounds like you are jealous of Americans
@@numarkaz Sounds like you're American XD
Also, no, not jealous of the people taking credit for shit we did. It's just disrespectful of the US's number 1 trading partner and the country that fought with them in what... 5 wars at this point?
At some point, maybe the US is just being a dick XD

There’s a difference between jealousy and pointing out the reality that some countries do tend take more credit than they should.
@@keirfarnum6811 sounds like you are jealous
Great documentary. The photos are fantastic!!!
it's like someone wrote this for him, calling it "Me" when it is ME, standing for the manufacturer.
As an ex military pilot, I can assure you that it's not a "Mee262" but an M-E-2-6-2. I sat inside one, FWIW. Couldn't bear hearing the rest of this video.
The software of the text to speech needs some more updates.
For those who don’t know aviation, I’m sure it can be confusing considering that “Su27” and “MiG29” do indeed just pronounce the “Su” as “Sue” and “MiG” as “Mig” whereas the “Me262” is pronounced “Em Eee.” 🤷🏻♀️
As youre such an expert go make your own videos.
🍪?
As someone who uses language daily like yourself but isn't a crayon eating sped I am aware of the fact that multiple pronunciations of the same thing can be correct and that nobody cares anymore ab your opinion bc you were in the military🤡
Good production! Well made
background music is a little loud.
Nice paralax animation of the old photos. How did you do that and what programs did you use?
Excellent program. Thanks.
Would have been nice to see the work of Hans Kammler (who worked on advanced craft based on the principles designed by Henri Coanda in 1932).
Ha, Ha! Kammler, The 'Redacted' Nazi 4 Star General, Referred to as 'The Organiser'? GOOD LUCK, on 'This ' Platform! Maybe, Haunebu, Plus - The FIRST atomic weapons 'Fired'[ Oct 1944 x 2 ; Baltic area = As 'reported' in U.K newspapers at time - Now MIA!], the 'Operations & Devices' of the SS E1V, as well! [ STILL classified as 'National security' 80 YEARS on!]. As for W. Churchill - an Agent of Zion & the 'Central Banking CON-Troll-ers', on record;
"We will bring the Neo German NAZI Economies back under CONtrol of the Central Banking 'Systems', even if it requires Conflict, to do so!"
'DiffiCULT' for German Population/ Military to 'Survive' when the Upper echelon Nazis ( including Hitler & Bormann - KNOWN by German Abwehr [ Military Intelligence] AT that time, but 'Shut Down'!!) WERE obvious 'CONscripted Agents' - FOR the Germanic downfall! AND, It WASN'T 'Wonder weapons', that 'Slowed' the CONnected AlLied Forces = Stoic & Extra Ordinary Tenacious Backbone & REAL blood of 'Normal' Forces - Wehrmacht & Especially Waffen SS forces!
I'm 4th Gen Australian, & an 'Observer of Inputs', in case folks think this Somehow 'Biased'! - WHO guards THE Guards?
Wellness
GOOD LUCK on Kammler!
Kammler was more of a supervisor. I don't think he designed anything. If I remember correctly, he studied civil engineering.
They forgot to mention Model, Henrici and von Manteuffel. Each played their part of unique innovations in battle.
What they forgot to mention was the 9 m prisoners of the war that Germany killed.
That is 9,000,000 million people over 7,000,000 million people where Jewish people killed just because they were Jews.
The true cost of war was 77 million people dead in ww II .
Quite interesting and well rounded summarized.
Water is so easy to store. I have 4 IBC containers. 1000 liter each. When you throw in some zilver in the water it will never go bad. And make sure it are black ibc containers. If you are not using zilver you can be sure that within 2 weeks you can not drink it anymore. Especcially when it is hot and when it is getting a lot of light. Store it as dark as possible. But also make sure as a prepper that you have zilver. This can be coins or jewelry.
And also make sure that you have a very good waterfilter like the msr guardian. And that you have charcoil or better buy a lot of Norit. Water is the most important thing you have to do. I constantly have them filled with water.
The very best lesson in wars is to make best efforts to avoid it. . .
absolut richtig
No.
Hitler tried to avoid it. He sent over 20 peace offers to Churchill (at the time when Germany was still winning the war), but Churchill rejected every single one. Hitler wanted no quarrel with Britain. He saw Britain as a similar country to Germany.
Germany avoided, us &uk wanted the war, because of their agents.
Henry Ford was awarded the Grand Cross for his dedication to the German war machine. Ford factories throughout Germany kept the Third Reich stocked with tens of thousands of trucks and half tracks including Opel vehicles throughout the war.
He was also a massive anti-semite
The factories were Ford owned but staffed with German engineers, technicians, workers. Do you really think that facility ownership had much to do with the ability to build stuff?
@@Ye4rZero If true, I wonder why? What were H Ford's experiences that made him so?
@@BasementEngineer lathe operators from concentration camps were used and Ford new exactly what he was doing, with war contracts in Germany, as did Watson, the CEO of IBM. Are you saying it's ok then?
@@johnnyT428 Of course it was OK! Why should prisoners live on easy street when there was a war going on and workers were in short supply?
And what exactly WAS going on? For what you left unsaid, have you ever seen any authenticated forensic evidence? Me neither.

"MEEE 262" ? A glaring clue that the narration of this video was done by artificial intelligence. Any narrator not knowing it's M - E 262 would not be a native American English speakers and probably betray some trace of an accent. Picky I know, and it's a good informative video.

THANK You for a VERRRY GOOOOD history video.
That 3D effect on those pics is almost like seeing some of them for the first time again
It was Ernest Bevin who said “Give us the tools and we’ll finish the job”.
It wasn’t Churchill.
Hi thank you good program, thank you for this great inside on these people.
Adolph Galland was a rather interesting character. He actually had his flight mechanic install a swiveling ashtray in his airplane so he could smoke his cigars while flying missions. He was also unique in that he was one of the only officers who openly and publicly criticized both Hitler and Goering and got away with it. Hitler was afraid of punishing him so great was his respect and admiration of the Luftwaffe that Hitler feared punishing him would cause a revolt. After the war he went on to command the post-war German Air Force. Really was a very interesting man. BTW you could have mentioned the Horten Brothers who were building the world's first flying wing jet fighter, the Horten IX, which is currently stored in the Smithsonian Museum's Air and Space Gerber storage facility
I don’t think the Russians were that interested in “human freedom.”
In the end it was a war of numbers, for example, total german jeep (kubel and schwimmwagen) 70000, total of US jeep alone between 400000 and 500000. They invented modern warfare.
😂 I think it’s hilarious, the Mee262. 😂😂😂Good video tho love the channel!
one word: overstated
Contributing to their defeat was the logistics of providing multiple spare parts for multiple types of complexly engineered trucks, tanks, aircraft and guns..
It was inevitable that the Soviets would defeat Germany because they ruggedly built their weapons with simpler engineering and fewer parts. If it worked, it was produced in their thousands and variants were only developed if absolutely necessary. The Soviets had plenty of spare parts that were often salvaged from the battlefield.
The highly complex German equipment in multiple variants was a logistical nightmare. Often, competing designs meant the logistical supply lines, were very, very long for their equipment to travel to the Eastern Front, and often the spare parts they had did not match the broken down equipment they had.. They also wasted time and resources on developing new weapons when what they needed was more of what they already had,, that already worked. For example, multiple, new jet aircraft and other aircraft types were still being developed in 1944 when what they really needed were massive numbers of fighter interceptors and ground attack aircraft and bombers they already had.
Monday morning quarterbacking. It was the allies' monumental superiority in manufacturing (USA) and personnel ready to be sacrificed (Soviet Union) that led to that "win". And it took almost 6 years to do so against that small European country that dared to try a different way of organizing its people and economy.
Agreed. If done correctly they could have really tore the world up.
@@egcowling9657 How could they have done it differently?
The primary enemies were the banks in London and New York as these were being shut out from profiteering off German foreign trade.
It took 27 countries to take Germany down. NOT just Russia or the US. And as said here it took 6 years for all of them to do it .
More planes wouldn’t have helped without more pilots.
The father of the blitz was Heinz Gulderian. In his 1930s book "Achtung Panzer" he outlined just what he was going to do to the French. When they took off his leash he did just that. Hitler took the credit for it but from then on he was the only one who could argue with Hitler and live.
He was the father of modern tank warfare. The blitz was a Britain's term... Blitzkrieg was never said once by a German during the war...
Very well done video bravo🇨🇦🤘🌟
I've gotten to the submarine part
Some great pics in this doc it is done well
Hitlers Biggest Blunder was declaring war on the United States mic drop
No, it was invading Russia before defeating the British Empire.
You could say Hitler's biggest mistake was attacking Russia. "All you have to do is kick in the door". Of course you could say that Hitler's biggest mistake was going to war with a bunch of back stabbing upper ranks all vying to out do each other instead of working together (Goering wouldn't give "Donuts" any FW Condors to supports his uboats because "Anything that flies is mine."), or to kill their best scientists or send them to the allies. You could say his biggest mistake was not listening to his generals (not listening to "Donuts" and build more uboats). He made a lot of mistakes. Maybe Hitler's BIGGEST mistake was going to war at all. Germany could have been a great industrial nation with all that scientific talent that he squandered. ;-) Not that the allies didn't make mistakes also.

The Opel Blitz may have made a contribution, however the 7,000,000 horses had a lot more to do with supplying the German soldiers at each front.
Or the rail lines. The "Rollbahn" was a separate arm of the German military. Germany, being a continental power, and short on vehicles, and petroleum, relied heavily on their railroads to move men and supplies, as did the Russians. Literal horsepower was still quite useful for several reasons: (1) lack of petroleum for gasoline or diesel (2) lack of vehicles, and nothing like the American auto factories in Detroit to produce trucks like the USA could (3) especially on the Eastern Front, lack of PAVED roads, which hampers movement by wheeled AND tracked vehicles (they can indeed navigate dirt roads, at the expense of chewing them up, wearing out their tracks, suspensions, and drive trains, as well as using more fuel), horses have less trouble with dirt, indeed, they do BETTER than on pavement (4) as they succumb to exhaustion or injury, horses can be slaughtered and EATEN (5) especially on the Eastern Front, cavalry was still quite useful, militarily, both sides made extensive use of cavalry units.
@@selfdoI think you should go study history some more
If you like WW1 and WW2 content Lost Battlefield his content is outstanding weapons tunnels and has local people explaining what they used the area for
Well, I didn't know the first V2 rocket ever fired was on my birthday. September 7th. They were celebrating me before my birth of course...
The german wonder weapons were actually prototypes rushed into production. The allies wouldn't have considered them ready for front line use,but the Germans were desperate.
have you seen the video? its not about the wonder weapons and fancy stuff as we are used to habe presented under titles like this. 🤣
There were alot of those on both side like the atomic bomb it was the only and I mean ONLY thing that could make the nips surrender. It took two of them to convince them the first one wasn't a flyck but two city's of millions leveled in minutes was undeniable truth that they had no answer therfore they had to surrender. As many lives list those two days it would have taken four times that to die before it would have been decided so it was the right thing as bad as it was it would have taken another 3 or 4 years and 4 times as many dead to decide the outcome if not and the results were going to be the same. USA 1 nips 0. So TRUTH FACTS
Dont forget germany had been secretly gearing up for 5 plus yrs to start war/that in itself is a big advantage/if i worked out at gym for 5+yrs an my neighbor was weaker than me....well what u expect? typical sneaky kraut....buullshit fritzee
they were just full of themselves....till they meant Russian army////or Mongolians now those people from northern russia....they will have krauts for soup...

Where is the Flying Saucer, time machine and moon base ?
😊In someone's mind 😉
That’s another show plus “ the Bell” Time Machine that fell in America in 1965 at Kecksburg, after traveling 20 years into the future. All true.
The V2 wasn’t ‘nearly’ impossible to detect, it was absolutely impossible to detect.
The Enigma machine was an incredible machine. Now, you can get an app for your phone that even lets you set the plugs and dials. 😁
My uncle Herbert Oelkers was a combat engineer in the German 6th Army. He was among the almost 400,000 who surrendered at Stalingrad. He was lucky to survive. And only survived because he was a engineer. He was released in December 1948, 3 and a half years after the war ended. Less than 200,000 of the 400,000 who surrendered survived. My uncle stated that the Germans had superior tanks and artillery. But their transport vehicles were terrible in comparison. The trucks were adequate in normal terrain, but once the snow and rains started they were useless. It is true that they depended on horses and mules quite a bit to pull artillery and munitions. Another downfall was that the German tanks were were heavy and the snow and mud bogged them down. Although much of this could have been avoided if Hitler hadn't made the insane decision to completely destroy Stalingrad and instead proceeded to Moscow. The fact that Goering lied when he said that Luftwaffe could resupply the 6th army helped Hitler make the decision to doom them.
That's interesting
The Reasons why Stalingrad failed for Germans because Hitler had to send German Army to North Africa to Bail out Italians for their Short Comings Men and Supplies that were supposed to go to Stalingrad. Plus Roosevelt Lend Lease Act is what Bailed out Russians 51% of what USA Produced went To Russia they had Unlimited Supply of Everything.

Messerschmitt 262, it is pronounced "M" "E" 262, not me262.
The Germans knew the 'V2' as the A1 . . .
Relax there Adolf no one cares it’s called scrap metal now anyway
That’s not how the Germans said it.
How is it that normal people know this but some how the person who researched this doesn’t even know the correct name lol. Like really???
Agree this is what I picked up on too..👍🏼
"give us the tools and we will finish the job". LMAO. They were just lucky AF America was their to cash their checks.
Why, at 3:53, do you show a weird rocket when talking about the V2?
Wow, love the 3D photography. Just need to teach your AI how to pronounce the ME 262 Swallow. It's not the me two hundred sixty two, it's a ME-262 made by Willy Messerschmitt. Just remember if it weren't for the V-2 rocket we wouldn't have gone to the moon if you believe we really went there. Warner Von Braun was the imported German scientist that designed the Saturn rocket. And, what the hell does the Waffen SS have to do with powerful secrets of Nazi science and technology??? You're going off on a tangent. It all boils down to logistics. The winner will always have the best logistical supply. Cheers from eastern TN
Excellent video!!!
Pretty incredible video; very well done.
3 D pictures are very cool...tks
After the war, captured V2 Rockets were taken to the U.S to the White Sands Missile Testing Grounds where they were tested, stripped down and evaluated. In 1947 a V2 with a camera attached was launched straight up and became the first manmade object to reach Space as well as taking the first ever picture of the Earth from Space!
The inventor of the V2, Werner from Braun worked for America after the war and became director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Von Braun was the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the rocket that took Man to the Moon.
Thank you for educating me. I already knew the first ever picture of space was from a V2 rocket but I always, (incorrectly,) presumed it was sent into space by the Nazis.
@brettcourtenay569 - Good summation Brett . Just to cap it off , let's not forget that the price of being host and employing those lovable Nazis has been the many missing trillions of tax dollars . Not to mention the corruption of the ideals laid out by our founders , and the many murders undertaken to obscure those activities. (Cheers)
@@ianrobson9601Old Verner was lucky the USA grabbed him quickly even though he had helped develop the V2, which was to aid Germany in winning the war and was responsible for killing many British civilians and damaging parts of London. All was forgiven however, and he was never tried for war crimes as long as he worked for the US to develop their missiles. The UK was never consulted or briefed on his work.
@@wingco39 I read somewhere that in the end, old Werner had put on his honorary SS uniform and lead a convoy with his staff with all their secret papers out of German lines and headed for the US lines and just before his surrender, changed back to civies. He had planned on surrendering to the US Army, so it was not just only luck, I think. At an airbase where I was stationed in the 1970's there were several monuments, one of which was a V1 rocket. I was surprised at how small it really was; I had always thought of it as something quite large, but that was the V2. V stands for 'Vergeltung' in German - meaning 'retaliation'.
Oh, they captured much much more than the V2, starting in 1944 under Operation Overcast the US sent about 100 teams of scientists, industrials and their military escorts. These teams were right behind the invading allies and 'seized' every patent, industrial secrets, blueprints, secret technology, military equipment, weapon systems, documents, working samples, technology, and vast numbers of commercial items to be sold at auction in the US. The number of stolen books was likely in the millions. The document haul alone was in the tens of thousands of tons as all universities, research institutes, patent offices, laboratories of every kind, all government agencies and research councils were stripped bare, as were libraries of every kind. These included not only the public libraries but especially those inside German corporations such as I. G. Farben, Volkswagen, Dornier, Messerschmitt, Hoescht, and thousands of others. Even the Steiff stuffed animal factory was emptied of its patterns, proprietary books, documents, production methods, patents, and samples of teddy bears. The Americans literally took everything and did so before their own allies began looking for loot, in fact the plans had been laid years before the war had even begun: they had done the same, but on a much lower scale at the end of WW!. Other teams were sent to seize artworks, funds, bonds, gold, jewelry, museum contents, everything that was worth anything or looked like it.
Soon it was realized that no one knew how to operate that new technology, that's when Operation Paperclip was implemented, rounding up and sending home every scientist and engineer they could find and contrary to popular belief, many against their will, under threat of execution. You can google this if you want:
-The Greatest Intellectual Property Theft in History: Operation Paperclip
-The Technical Industrial Intelligence Committee
-Secrets by the Thousands
-T-Force - Wikipedia
-etc...
You pronounce it "me, two hundred and sixty two" ?

Nice visual effect, but it is circling, which is not very subtle. If you use such an effect, just use a little zoom in one direction.. slowly... it would be way better for a documentary like this. -I think.
I am not sure German logistics were that good. They never got close to fully mechanising their army, invaded Russia without plans to supply winter clothing, went to war without having adequate access to oil, rubber, or strategic metals.
That was all hitlers fault, Truth is the german military was scary good. Lucky for the world, Adolfs narcissistic qualities, drug use and paranoia caused him to make those crazy decisions overriding his generals expertise. This is one time we can all thank god for the gift of a severe mental disorder.
Rhe Germans did what they had to do by a timeline not of their doing. Read "The Chief Culprit" by Viktor Suvorov.
Herr H. was in a hurry.
If they didn’t fuck with Russia we would probably all be free from “international” bankers
How did they do it? Well between the wars, Germany spent their time developing new weapons for the full 20 plus years. Some funded by the government, some done privately by heavy industries. The battlefield techniques were developed much like the US military, using cars and trucks marked as tanks, fake wooden artillery models, etc. They also did a tremendous amount of practice and testing of weapons in the Soviet Union, sharing some technologies in exchange for security from the Allied monitors. Some developments were cloaked as "civilian" products including Enigma, passenger planes, etc. Submarines and aircraft, they developed in secret front countries throughout Europe including Denmark, Austria, Italy, and Sweden.
You forgot their training in Spain supporting Franco.
They gained a lot of experience in Spain.
@@oneshothunter9877 The Germans supported the Spanish nationalists. The allies Britain, USA, Soviet Union supported... wait for it... the murderous communists.
They wrre financed by US banks
Very good. Thank you
Very good. Thank you.
The Opel Blitz was an American designed truck built in an American built factory.
The German wonder weapons were really great war winners for the allies.
The Luftwaffe met its match in the blitz over England. From then on it was downhill for the Germans. Logistics? They used around 700,000 horses to move their supplies in Russia.
Germany actually lost the war in January 1942 when they failed to take Moscow and later on when they lost the 6th army. There was no recovering from that.
The greatest war winning invention the Germans had was Blitzkrieg which Americans called combined arms.
The role of "Blitzkrieg" has been greatly exaggerated, and denounced by German military writers themselves. Especially in the 1939 Polish campaign, which, contrary to perception, was NOT "lighting warfare", or what we'd term today as "Shock and Awe", but rather, the application of artillery, which the Poles made possible by their questionable deployments right at the front, instead of a more reasonable "defense in depth", combined with key penetrations by armor, supported by their "flying artillery", the Luftwaffe. It was as much Polish strategic errors that contributed to the overwhelming German battle successes, but even those came at a much higher cost in men and material than is commonly though. Even though, in most cases, the Polish forces were cut off and surrounded, they still fought hard until out of supplies. They even managed to, in the Battle of the Bzura, regroup and mount a counter-attack, EASTWARDS, to attempt to link up with the Warsaw garrison. Although this attack failed, it managed to check the German advance, which otherwise would have put enough forces about Warsaw to storm it and take it earlier than what happened.
"Combined Arms" is as old as warfare itself, with documentation that even the Egyptians, Hittites, and Greeks practiced a form of it.
>>>OIL! that fixed ; that doomed the buggers !!
The backbone of German logistics were the horses not trucks 👍🏻
Those Ford engines that powered those war changing tanks are what made them so good. Without Ford they would have been stomped out sooner.
Like the ambient soundtrack.
World domination was not possible via military means, the German people finally realized how they’d been conned, so via economic means Klaus Shwab such global domination he feels is within reach, and he doesn’t deny it, one unelected governing power to decide how humans live on our planet, the audacity of it, and contempt for life on our planet.
Shwab - He is the new Hitler by stealth.
Klaus Schwab is Jewish.
Hitler never intended to take over the world, that's a myth.
The new world order is a one world government and we are one global economic claps away from world domination by it.
Klaus is really just a high-level spokesman, but he is really not the CEO, Remember, he was chosen, not self-made or self-developed.
Indeed, very advanced and cleverly designed and constructed widgets. What happened? Operation Mincemeat happened. The clever stuff often costs major money. Because of that money issue, only a relatively small number of these interesting examples could be made. Enter the US and the car manufactures, Ford, GM, Packard, and so on. Ford, I've heard, ended up turning out an airplane (one of the bombers of that era?), one every 30 minutes or so at just one plant. So the subterfuge of Mincemeat had a larger impact than one might have expected. The British intelligence folks were pretty clever too, and out classed those in Germany (of that era) making those clever widgets.
Agreed, although the Germans wanted to have a qualitative advantage due to limited manpower.
Not to mention that Ford also manufactured M4A3 Sherman tank and the M3 .45 caliber submachine gun (from stamped parts which are much easier and quicker to manufacture thus cheaper to make than machined parts) as well as the manufacture of Willys Jeeps. But the question remains: did Ford make money from both sides? Alas, the Ford subsidiary in Germany also manufactured three ton trucks and motors for the German army tanks in WWII. So you decide how to answer the question.
@@m.w.wilson234 It is known, that Henry Ford was enthusiastic about Hitler. In addition, the largest Ford plant in Europe was in Cologne, which strangely enough was hardly bombed, although the rest of Cologne was in rubble and ashes. In the pre-war period, the same trucks were built in Cologne with which the US Army was also equipped. Parts for this truck were delivered to Germany until November 1941.

Good Stuff . !
Years ago I read of the stalemate of trench warfare. Then suddenly the Germans were in full retreat, but no reason was advanced. Then i read of the exploits of General Sir John Monash (see The Heros of Hamel) when he combined the use of infantry, armour and air power. Guderian did study the battles of WW1 an adapted and developed Monash's tactics to his own Blitzkrieg. Monash is so overlooked.
Yesss!!!
Monash’s Battle of Hamel was planned with such precision that it was executed pretty much on time!
'blitzkreig' was the creation of Monash - shame The West didn't use it
@@andyman8630 apparently Montgomery had studied it, but before he was given command in North Africa, he had very little influence.
ww1 was a TOTAL STALEMATE from start to finish caused by RAILWAYS resupplying ammo and troops and PUBLIC NEVER UNDERSTOOD.
Ta for this. Monash needs a statue. Thousands of unsung people in war. At least he was a “ Sir “
Dr. Hans von Ohain was a German physicist, engineer, and designer of the first operational jet engine in any aviation capacity. Ohain obtained a patent for his design, the Heinkel HeS 1, in 1936. Heinkel tested a functional prototype in 1937.
The first flight was in August 1939, it was not a practical engine and its technology was not used in either the Junkers or BMW turbines.
After the war, when he became friends with Whittle, von Ohain stated that he had seen Whittle's patent (the original 1930 one) for the jet engine, and it influenced him, whether he said this to make Whittle happy or whether it was true is unknown. There is a patent by von Ohain in 1939 that cites Whittle's 1936 patent (the one that included what was to become high bypass turbofans) that had been published a month earlier in 1939.
According to Callum Coats's "Living Energies", Heinkel's company only designed a working Jet engine after first getting illegal access to all of Victor Shauberger's Austrian patents and fluid dynamics research that was kept under lock and key at the Vienna patent office.
@@Sciurus During war times all bets are off as to patent protection of ideas and technologies.
Fact is, Germany had the first aircraft to fly with jet turbine engines.
Whittle may have worked on his turbine earlier, so what?
People have been working on gas turbines from the times when the limitations of propeller propulsion became apparent.
mbdragon - And you were in love with him?
Also,it was Werner Von Braun who engineered the first V2 rockets. Going on to create NASA for the US.
Crazy how far CG narrating has come.
Perhaps cut and paste blatent plaguerism, * 2,3 and I4 ? Wtf 😄
Groovy episode
German logistics was very much reliant on horses. Their propaganda films may have showed lots of vehicles but they couldn’t build enough so horses were critical.
The Soviets had trucks and oil. They could concentrate their armies quickly and drive deep.
Interesting and informative excellent photography job still/motion pictures. Enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Class A research project. Special thanks to veterans/civilians sharing information/combat experiences. Making this documentary more authentic and possible. Fighting/surviving/perishing knowing instant death/debI laying wounds were often possible. Yet still advanced forward regardless of the consequences. That’s true grit style determination to succeed. I firmly believe that had Germany waited 6 months to a year. Before going to war. Their chances of being able to complete different military projects. Would have increased giving them a few decisive advantages military. Perhaps conquering all of Europe??? Too much disillusioned bureaucracy that interfered with engineering/designing/scientists. Were to blame thus giving military advantages to the allied military forces.
They would have had an increased 'edge', but the British and French would have increased their own preparedness too. The Russian mistake would still have happened, with huge distances to cross before getting anywhere worthwhile. Horse-drawn transport was a liability over such distances, a logistical nightmare was the result. Alienating the citizenry along the way exacerbated their mistakes . . . [An over-simplification, yes]
Except the stills and footage often don't match the object being described....
Question please: isn't this what the ZULU native Americans and others did.
P)
German tactics equally if not more important than technology.
so much in such a short time - a brief flash in time
Whats the plane where soldiers are standing by when it first starts
The Me262 was but one of many WWII-era German aircraft that were ahead of their time.
It wasn't ahead of its time. Britain beat them to it with the jet engine.
Dr. Wherner Von Braun became, after the war, part of the U. S. Space program. He frequently appeared on the Disneyland T V show when they did space based T. V. presentations.
A beneficiary of "The Paperclip Conspiracy" . . .
just shows... it all comes clean when your needed
Yea along with another 1599 german scientist from wwII to create today’s NASA
donitz killed too many or else they might have stuck him somewhere in Nato. unbelievable Borman got away but I figure Adenhauer got money from him to rebuild W germany and fudged the books to fool the allies.
@@EllieMaes-Grandad Paperclip was an operation, not a conspiracy
Southern oil provided fuel to Germany and General Motors help build Panther tanks as well as some of there trucks
War up until now was a competition between manufacturing capabilities. Nowadays things are different have nuclear missiles which apparently can destroy a lot of stuff. One well-placed nuke let's say the Yangtze River Dam it would bring China's Manufacturing to a dead stop.
Even their fuel “Jerry”cans were cutting edge which was copied poorly by the allies
I remember them
The video showcases a number of innovations and projects, which at any other time would have been noteworthy milestones in the development of technology. However, I do not believe they contributed in any meaningful way to any of the successes achieved by the German armed forces. Training and initiative of the personnel counted where often the equipment was not available.
I believe you are correct in assuming that most of the German technological marvels did not contribute in any meaningful way to any of their successes. The Axis successes were mainly in the first two years of the war, and almost all of their techno wonders cam later. A question of too little, too late.
What brought them initial success was mostly due to their tactics and in field cooperation due to radio contact.
The French for instance ad better tanks, but they were not equipped with radio's.
ALLthese different divisions....woooo sounds tooo crazy...ferious fiters devoted/special elite waffen this waffen that its alll WAFFLES....bottom line Russians defeated em...marched em off to Siberia...an had ther women...
Only the V2 was any kind of successful.
im amazed @ the graphics, seeing this on a wide screen pc, imagine the impact if you were using some aug eyewear, it would truly make you believe it was real, and it was>
"Jet engines can be dated back to the invention of the aeolipile around 150 BC. This device used steam power directed through two nozzles so as to cause a sphere to spin rapidly on its axis.[1] So far as is known, it was not used for supplying mechanical power, and the potential practical applications of this invention were not recognized. It was simply considered a curiosity.
Archytas, the founder of mathematical mechanics, as described in the writings of Aulus Gellius five centuries after him, was reputed to have designed and built the first artificial, self-propelled flying device. This device was a bird-shaped model propelled by a jet of what was probably steam, said to have actually flown some 200 meters."
All modern submarines are based in principle on the advanced technology of the last submarines put into service by Germany, the "Class XXI", of World War II, especially those of the American Navy. They were way ahead of their time in many technical respects.
Agreed, they were the first true submarine
They had submarines since the 1700's , those WW2 subs are the first modern subs made primarily from metal.
Peter the Great was making subs in the 1700's if not a bit earlier (possibly late 1600's)
They ran on hydrogen peroxide too .handy if u wanted an Aryan blond hairdo 💇♀️whilst on board. Russians made a copycat one. Looked the same. I’d rather have a China class 1932 Brit sub. Very big with air conditioning too
Agreed, isn't it surprising that Germany during that period had the most advanced equipments that would from the backbone of modern technology and even developed the most potent chemical weapons known to man like the Sarin and Tabun nerve agent gases and the kleinkog batteries that were produced in large numbers. Moreover, they pioneered advanced manufacturing techiques that are all the more surprising considering that their war production was increasing towards the end of the war. Also, they developed ways of turing coal to fuel through processes such as Fischer-Troph proccess and Hydrogenation and even managed to develop synthetic rubber. All this is surprising and I perosnally think there is more to be discovered about their discoveries and source of sheer ingenuity and brilliance. For example, imagine how the Flak tower was built amid the war with all its complexities and still was put into use.
@@allankipro3391 quite disheartening to see it all go up in smoke in the war
me 262 the engines were replaced after ten hour service
Only because they lacked adequate supplies of strategic materials like nickel, chromium, cobalt and manganese for the high temperature components.
@@ianlewis6717 that they got it going without them is a testament in itself
So what? They were very easy to change. The typical flight time was less than one hour, therefore 10 hour service life for a superior engine was acceptable.
@@BasementEngineer the manpower required was enormous . There's no discounting their effort as impressive .it was a huge use of limited resources
@@davidmeier8548 Not for changing the gas turbine engine on that jet fighter plane. The hours required for this were minimal.
Bro, the 3D effect on ALL the pictures gave me motion sickness, it's great material but please take it down a notch!
Most people don't know that the Opel Blitz was actually built by GM in Germany GM owned 80% OF Opel when war was starting. Ford was also involved in vehicle production .
Omg, its not me 262, .. its m e 262
Yet another expert that just criticises as they cant do their own videos
Wait, since when were the rockets actually a factor besides something they invented during the war, but weren't able to implement as part of their combined arms?
I don't think that the people in England who were bombed by the V2 rocket would agree with you.
@@steveknight878 No, but the V2 was a very expensive way of destroying non strategic targets and killing a relatively small number of civilians.
@@ianlewis6717 True, but it was scary, which has some value. It had a similar problem to bombers, though - you could destroy a lot, and kill lots of civilians, but that doesn't mean that the targeted country will surrender.
@@steveknight878 all it did was firm up the resolve of the people. russias attempts to do the same are a parallel of how it does not necessarily translate to effective methods of encouraging the population to submit or force their govt to seek terms.
@@gfenwick1 That seems to be the general experience
So many nations against one. This was a show of power.
The Junkers “JEW” 87. I bet the high command would love to hear it referred to as that. 😂
I find it amazing how the Germans were technologically so much more advanced than the rest of the world.
They were in some, but in most they were behind.
The Brits developed better radar. The Me 109 and the Spitfire keep improving, and basically equal thru the war. The Germans never had long range bombers. 3/4th of their submariners never returned, due to improved tech of the Allies. The Allies had better code breakers. The Germans had larger tanks, but I've never found out how they moved about, as many were heavier than European bridge standards, While the Americans had to ship theirs across the ocean, along with maintenance stations and spares. The German synthetic fuel was no match for the Allied fuel. Their rockets weren't all that effective. The Brits sunk the German surface fleet. Most people know who developed the A bomb. And the list goes on. And I should add the proximity fuse.
Sorry but the Allies were so much better in that game .
If they had not invaded the Soviet Union ,Germany would have decimated the allies, their technology was a a decade ahead of other Western countries, had they not had the Soviets to fight the west would be speaking German now, D-day would never have happened !!
@@drewthompson7457 The Germans failed to keep up with the allies in terms of innovating/developing, especially with their submarines
The story of M.E.262 is not so much a story about the innovation of the Germans but more about the short sighted British High Command who turned down Frank Whittle who invented the jet engine leading to him patenting it. The Germans ignored the patent and built it!
Two unrelated topics. Frank Whittle's accomplishments and British High Command's failure to act has absolutely no bearing on Germany’s completely separate innovations and follow-through
And later they literally castrated Turing, driving him into suicide. And the Polish Generals who fought with the British were denied asylum. And those who could live in England had to work at pub or laying bricks because they were denied a pension. One polish General was later supported by an Ex-German (!) General.
Not at all. The German jet engine was different from Whittle's jet engine and the German engine was operational before WW2 even began.
Both the British and the Germans developed the jet engine separately but at the same time
Nice disinformation bro. The two engines were developed separately and in fact the design of the German jet engine is the one the world ended up adopting after the war.
Wanted to hear something on the aircraft showen in the thumbnail picture
One thing history has taught us is that the more successful a military is the more likely it is to fail.
Just like the roman empire
I am so glad you gave credit to the Polish pertaining to the Enigma. You should have mentioned the bravery of their pilots who flew with the RAF.
I wish you had mentioned that even though the Wehrmacht were a strong fighting force. You simply cannot overlook the atrocities they committed.
The myth of the goid Wehrmacht must be broken away from the atrocities of the Waffen SS. Both committed unspeakable heinous human rights violations.
The UK purposely dropped firebombs on civilian targets. That's also a war crime. Dresden was a huge war crime.
