I remember my grandparents telling me stories about these. They said when you heard the engine everyone acted like normal but when the engine cut out EVERYONE hit the floor with their hands on top of their heads and prayed it wouldn't land in their area, and then the relief when they heard the explosion somewhere else.
The Luftwaffe V1 also used a rocket booster when launched from a ground site. The cruise motor was a pulse motor which sounded like a slow machine gun.
Great video but only one nitpick, the V1 was a pulse engine it would sound more like a motor bike engine puttering. When the engine cut out was the dangerous period
Beautiful artwork yet again - the skies and landscapes are particularly impressive. I read of one pilot who 'tipped' a V1, only to his horror see it crash right on the main line to Waterloo, blowing a crater in front of an approaching passenger train. The engine's driver was a quick thinking hero himself - instead of hitting the brakes, he increased speed and jumped the train over the hole. This kept all the couplings tight, and the carriages upright and in line as they derailed, fortunately with minimal injuries to the passengers. Had he tried to stop instead, the resulting smash could have been much worse. PS - I commented on the artistic touches in your 'Shermans behind Enemy Lines' film, and forgot to include the rainbow which briefly appears in one scene. Its the little things like that that really make these films worth watching; your crew are genuine artists each in their own right with some wonderful imagination. Well done, all of you
".. instead of hitting the brakes, he increased speed and jumped the train over the hole". Was there a bomb on the train which would trigger once its speed fell below 50mph? I am having difficulty finding ant reference to this event.
I read the wartime accounts of a Swordfish navigator once, and he wrote about visiting home during the V bombings. Apparently, while the much larger V2s got the press, the V1s were more terrifying. The V2s were so heavy they’d bury themselves, minimizing the damage from the explosion. The V1s would explode on impact, causing far more death and destruction
from wat i understood the v2 exploded in the air causing a lot of mayham , the people in the street wouldnt know wat would happen untill the where inside the explosion
The V2 was a liquid fuelled rocket which was supersonic therefore it hit the ground before the sound of it arrived some seconds later. Therefore there was no warning of its arrival. It was not an air burst weapon. Initially it was thought to be a gas main explosion. There was no defence against it. As a weapon it was very inefficient, the casualty rate was about 1 death per weapon.
I thought watching Yarnhub with resolution 360p was good, but, man, 480p is immersive! No no no, wait... This is 1080p. Holy shizer, Yarnhub your graphics team needs a raise this is bloody great stuff!
Yeah I was getting chills just think about how scary the V1 must have been to people back then. Then even more chills when I saw what I would guess is a V2 rocket!
My dad was born in Bekesbourne in Kent in 1934. He used to sit on the lean to roof of their outhouse watching the doodlebugs fly overhead. He used to say if you heard it’s engine you were safe.
The animation quality has increased so much, people looking like actual humans, the evolution of animation on this channel is INSANE! Amazing job Yarnhub!
Yet he only has 6/10ths of a million subscribers which is blasphemy!!! He deserves much respect and recognition for his incredible dedication to his craft. Such an underrated channel!!! Thank you @Yarnhub for paying respect to every story you tell. Cheers from Chicago,Illinois( silent "S"), U.S.
From what I recall the V-1 weren't physically flipped for long, some pilot discovered if you got your wing tip just in front of the flying bomb's wing, that the rotor off your wing tip would dirty up the air, once in front of the V-1's wing and the bomb would roll over. You didn't need to flip it into a wild axial roll, just getting off of level beyond 45 degrees would disable the V-1's gyro stabilization.
I Stil remember the Orginal Franz Stigler Video you guys made. Been watching ever since and I am continuing to love each video as they grow in quality.
My mum, now nearly 99, used to dodge these, known as "Doodlebugs." Their engine sound was like a pulse beat, and when the noise stopped, they fell to the ground and exploded. You were lucky if it flew over you. When she heard one coming, my mum was on her way to work at a butcher's shop. She just prayed it went past and would not hit any houses. She found out it had exploded in a field and killed a cow. The Home Guard had made sure the meat went to good use. My mum worked as a butcher, and she said we never saw any of the meat. She has also seen a Lancaster crash land after a bombing raid, with all the crew lost. They thought they were higher than they were and hit a tree in thick fog. She spent some time making parts for Lancaster at 14 years of age. She spent her time as a shop assistant in a butcher's and was once strafed by a BF109 that only broke the shop windows. It crashed, and the pilot bailed out and was captured by the Home Guard.
I always wondered if this story was true but I was unable to find enough good sources so thanks for making this incredibly well animated and written story
@@anzaca1 so first all of the articles I found about it only cited one primary source and it was always the same primary source. Second I couldn’t find primary sources about this besides the one source I found from the articles.
I remember reading somewhere that around 50% of V1's were shot down by AA guns using the newly invented proximity fuse that was so secret that it hadn't been used in Europe in case the Germans captured the technology, so the planes were chasing the other half that got through.
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already, I first subscribed to the channel because I saw your second video, the graceful b109 against the b17, in simple 2d animation. Now, all of your videos are in extremely detailed 3d animations. The channel has grown and changed so quickly
I'm simply amazed by the engineering of the V1. Just imagine: seeing a jet is a big deal on its own, then seeing as it has no pilot and still managing to maintain its course. It's unbelievable.
Still not as good as the Fritz X radio-guided bomb, the Bat (radar-guided rocket bomb the Americans invented as a better version of the Fritz X), or various German and American WWII homing torpedoes. Yes, smart munitions were a thing in WWII, at least for the Germans and Americans (the other powers also had their own projects for such but I don’t think they actually got them into production).
The Germans were allegedly fed false information about where the V-1s were falling. Told it fell North of London so they compensated, put in less fuel and some fell short.
That's a V-1 flying bomb (German: Vergeltungswaffe 1 "Vengeance Weapon 1") aka [English] buzz bomb or doodlebug. That particular weapon had quite the demoralizing effect on an already badly bombed out London. It's distinctive rattling engine noise was easily identifiable, but worse was when the rocket cut out, and the silence as it glided in before a massive explosion. Along with the V-2, had it come in earlier in the war it would have been a massive game changer for the Germans. Still very experimental they were deployed out of desperation, as many blew up on the launch pad during fuelling because the chemical mix was that volatile. The German V Weapons were real nightmare fuel. The Allies capturing V1 and V2 rockets along with "Liberating" German rocket scientists and engineers like Wernher Von Braun led eventually to NASA, and the moon landings.
The animation quality is insane. It's just mind blowing. Also, as a big war thunder fan, I'm really happy you guys did a sponsorship with them. Keep up the great work
The CG elements are perfect. Just the right amount of details that add a lot to the story without being distracting. The entire presentation from story, to CG elements to narration is top notch.
12:01 "While V1 strikes waned, a new, more sinister weapon lay in store" And once the image came into scene, i immediately said, in a menacing and cinematic way: *_"The V2 Rocket"_*
I got taught about these V1s (Doodlebugs) in school and I actually got to see 1 at the Manston RAF Museum There not that big, but the explosives inside did a lot of damage. My home county Kent got hit with dozens
Might not seem that big at first glance but the V1 contains an 850kg warhead, that is enormous for just a single device (that you fire once). Average artillery shell would contain 10-20 kg at most, some could contain dozens of kilos but those were very large caliber howitzers. There were a very small number of guns that could fire an 850kg shell (or larger) but they were very impractical and expensive so I wouldn't really count them.

A "live action documentary"??? Come on bro. It's good but the graphics are like Unreal 2 or something. Not even close to "live action". You gotta be joking.
This act took #1 Balls of Steel, and #2 a lack of knowledge regarding the rockets mechanisms. The knowledge a pilot would have to recognize a rocket, then to affect its path by the tipping of a wing is innate. The potential of a lethal explosion from the maneuver is not. Something like this, by its very nature, defines the word BRAVERY.
Wow - that crow sitting on the siren just before it went off...this is the kind of detail that makes these animations come alive. Brilliant work! Similarly, I recall another video where the Ray Ban logo was clearly visible on the B17 pilot's sunglass lens.
I remember my grandparents sharing war stories about these moments. They said that when you heard the engine, everyone went about their business like normal. But the moment the engine cut out, EVERYONE hit the floor, hands over their heads, praying it wouldn’t land near them. And then came the overwhelming relief when the explosion echoed from somewhere else. Unimaginable courage and fear all in one.
I love that this channel keeps improving its graphical representation of each ww2 ww2 and cold war. It's honestly amazing that a channel that started a few years ago can be this amazing. I hope this channel grows even more than today.
You got the sound of the V1 pulsejet completely wrong. It sounded nothing like a regular jet engine. It sounded like a badly-tuned motorbike with a hole in its exhaust.
Used to love reading about this, had an artwork of aces book that depicted a Typhoon rolling one of course. And the ending is fantastic, great work yarnhub as always!
Mind-blowing Animation 👌 by Yarn Hub team Intro Air missiles opening Vera level 😍 Quality of Animation 👌 voice 🎤 narration of story with sound effects 🎧 semma super
Great production! My Grandmother lived in East Ham London during the war.She endured the dark days of the Blitz 1940/41. Going to work and hardly bothering to go to a shelter at night with her two daughters, despite some minimal shrapnel damage to their roof from an HE bomb explosion at the road junction about 100 yards away. However, after 3 years of alerts, rationing deprivation, and concern for her new son-in law eventually returning from north Africa seriously wounded, the V1 with it's sinister growl and ominous silence before the bang, was too much for her. She had a breakdown and was hospitalised diagnosed with what was then called 'female hysteria'.
It is said the V2 rockets were silent but my mother said that she heard one go over the maternity ward in west Middlesex hospital on March the 21 st 1945 it hit a packard motor car assembly factory on the great west road killing 32 people and many more injured. I was 13 days old and due to go home with mum the next day but the hospital close to where the V 2 hit needed every bed they could spare to receive the casualties and even had to use the corridors for extra beds so they called my dad from work to pick us up one day earlier than scheduled .
Mom was a British Warbride and she stated that as long as you heard the "Buzz" you were okay, it was when it went silent that you knew it was coming down. She was born in 1926 so spent from 13-19 during the war years. She met her first husband probably around late 1943 or sometime in 1944.
@@andrewhall7930 Yes and she would had some interesting stories since after she got here in the states she said she worked the carnival circuit in the early 1950's. She met her second husband (I.E. my father) sometime in the mid 1950's. Dad served in the US Navy in the South Pacific from 1943-1945.
Been a while since I’ve been this early, but just wanted to jump in and say that the Yarnhub team has improved once again in script writing and animation. Keep it up everyone! Much love✌️
I read an account from a spit pilot that pulled so much g force pulling out from a dive in what was nicknamed the strato spit, spitfire mk8, that the wings looked like corrugated iron and when he regained consciousness he was back at 10000 feet after nearly hitting the sea
It's absolutely astonishing how much work effort you put in this video. You even made a model of a V2 rocket and launching pad just to show it in literally 3 seconds long clip. These videos are amazing, just wow.
My father, Polish, was a RAF Spit pilot. He told me that when a V1 was sent to London, you couldn’t catch it in a Spit. But when the V1’s were sent to Birmingham or Manchester, they were tuned for economy and thus had to fly slower. So the slower ones they could catch with a dive, in order to do the wing flick manoeuvre. The Germans got wise, and put buttons on the V1 wing-tip undersides, so you got creamed if you tried the flick.
I’ve heard the pulse jet in real life. God it was loud. Love your videos as always. Unfortunately there’s one tiny gripe I have. The V1 doesn’t make the distinct buzzing sound. Or at least I can’t hear it. Still love your work
@@Yarnhub Well regardless I’m always glad to see new works from your channel. I greatly respect your dedication. By the way, For a possible future episode. I suggest looking into an event from 1859 to 1872 called “The Pig War” between the US and British Empire. Just a thought. Once again, love your work as always. Looking forward to the next one.
What a coincidence, I was recently reading about these missiles, the engineering behind it is mad. I also love the little showing of the V2 at the ending
Oh my, this channel just keeps getting better, your animation quality is a 10/10, I like it very much. This encounter b/w the Spitfire and the V1 was awesome and scary to the pilots, knowing that the destruction of the V1 they saw could mean the difference between someone lives or not. But I didn't knew about the pilot who tipped a V1, thank you for your content:D
I love how you kept the story true to how it really happened. Sometimes this bomb tipping is being made out as the British doing this on a regular basis as a preferred method. Indeed as you are telling here it only happened sometimes when their guns jammed or they ran out of ammunition. Great stuff once again! One of my favourite stories so that was a nice little bonus ;)

They said when you heard the engine everyone acted like normal but when the engine cut out EVERYONE hit the floor with their hands on top of their heads and prayed it wouldn't land in their area, and then the relief when they heard the explosion somewhere else.
that gives me chills
My grandpa told me the exact same story, just wait for the boom after the engine goes silent
That is absolutely terrifying.
Before you would be scared by the sound of enemy bombers. Then you became scared when there wasn't a sound.
Yep my mum remembers them and my nan said it was by far the most terrifying bit of the blitz
The Luftwaffe V1 also used a rocket booster when launched from a ground site. The cruise motor was a pulse motor which sounded like a slow machine gun.
Pas un moteur a impulsion, mais un pulsoréacteur.

This is correct, the Spitfire wing was aluminium, the V1 steel. They never touched, would have destroyed the Spitfire wing.

My polish father was a fighter pilot and tipped V1s with his spitfire. Online records show 6 2:11 but his own pilots logbook records 9, I believe.
The quality. The story yelling and going back to their point of view. The tease at the end! Bravo! 10/10.
Wow - that crow sitting on the siren just before it went off...this is the kind of detail that makes these animations come alive. Brilliant work! Similarly, I recall another video where the Ray Ban logo was clearly visible on the B17 pilot's sunglass lens.
Loved the cliffhanger, and loved seeing the animation improve. Definitely 100/10
That’s such a powerful memory-thank you for sharing it. It’s incredible to imagine the fear and relief people must have felt in those moments.
These videos never cease to blow me away with the quality of animation and storytelling, thanks for yet another epic look back into history, Yarnhub!
I remember my grandparents sharing war stories about these moments. They said that when you heard the engine, everyone went about their business like normal. But the moment the engine cut out, EVERYONE hit the floor, hands over their heads, praying it wouldn’t land near them. And then came the overwhelming relief when the explosion echoed from somewhere else. Unimaginable courage and fear all in one.
I love that this channel keeps improving its graphical representation of each ww2 ww2 and cold war. It's honestly amazing that a channel that started a few years ago can be this amazing. I hope this channel grows even more than today.
You got the sound of the V1 pulsejet completely wrong. It sounded nothing like a regular jet engine. It sounded like a badly-tuned motorbike with a hole in its exhaust.
My favorite plane is finally going on the channel and the animation make the action look a bit realistic
......J'aime ce rappel, on a un peu oublié ces As, au manche de leur Spitfire qui glissaient une aile sous celle du V1 pour le faire basculer!!
"Gee, it *CAN* be done that way"
*Advance Australia plays*
"He turns his trusty Spit towards the incoming target" Such a powerful quote.
Used to love reading about this, had an artwork of aces book that depicted a Typhoon rolling one of course. And the ending is fantastic, great work yarnhub as always!
Britain's jet fighter was charged with shooting down V1 flying bombs, the Gloster Meteor never encountered the German Messerschmitt 262 in combat.
12:06 bro thinks he's James Bond villain 💀
Joke aside that smirk is gold
Mind-blowing Animation 👌 by Yarn Hub team Intro Air missiles opening Vera level 😍 Quality of Animation 👌 voice 🎤 narration of story with sound effects 🎧 semma super
The ending was so ominous. I loved it!
I was told by my Grandparents in England that they called them "Buzz Bombs" because they had a distinct heavy thick Buzzzzz then the explosion.
bro the quality on these animations are just so good. They are just getting better every episode
Great production!
My Grandmother lived in East Ham London during the war.She endured the dark days of the Blitz 1940/41. Going to work and hardly bothering to go to a shelter at night with her two daughters, despite some minimal shrapnel damage to their roof from an HE bomb explosion at the road junction about 100 yards away.
However, after 3 years of alerts, rationing deprivation, and concern for her new son-in law eventually returning from north Africa seriously wounded, the V1 with it's sinister growl and ominous silence before the bang, was too much for her.
She had a breakdown and was hospitalised diagnosed with what was then called 'female hysteria'.
Superb animation & great story. Thanks for the video! V2 next please!
It is said the V2 rockets were silent but my mother said that she heard one go over the maternity ward in west Middlesex hospital on March the 21 st 1945 it hit a packard motor car assembly factory on the great west road killing 32 people and many more injured. I was 13 days old and due to go home with mum the next day but the hospital close to where the V 2 hit needed every bed they could spare to receive the casualties and even had to use the corridors for extra beds so they called my dad from work to pick us up one day earlier than scheduled .
Great Cinematography with the flight around the Missile, starting at 2:04
Mom was a British Warbride and she stated that as long as you heard the "Buzz" you were okay, it was when it went silent that you knew it was coming down. She was born in 1926 so spent from 13-19 during the war years. She met her first husband probably around late 1943 or sometime in 1944.
She is the same age as the (Late) Queen, Miles Davis, and Sir David Attenborough (ALL BORN IN 1926)
@@andrewhall7930 Yes and she would had some interesting stories since after she got here in the states she said she worked the carnival circuit in the early 1950's. She met her second husband (I.E. my father) sometime in the mid 1950's. Dad served in the US Navy in the South Pacific from 1943-1945.
Been a while since I’ve been this early, but just wanted to jump in and say that the Yarnhub team has improved once again in script writing and animation. Keep it up everyone! Much love✌️
Gosh that ending gave me goosebumps.
My favorite spitfire story is how the spitfire almost reached mach 1 in a dive
Admittedly it bent the wings to the point where it was grounded after, but yes.
I read an account from a spit pilot that pulled so much g force pulling out from a dive in what was nicknamed the strato spit, spitfire mk8, that the wings looked like corrugated iron and when he regained consciousness he was back at 10000 feet after nearly hitting the sea
Not into video games, but to use animation to tell these real life war stories is simply marvelous. A medal to the animators.
Let's goo, your videos are insanity now, I get all my war info from you guys.
Thanks for bringing us back, to when the History channel was good. Your better!
10:44 really, animation is getting better each video. Like the whole thing itself - the „sequel hint“ was nice
Reminds me of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator, an incredible game from the past that needs to be reborn
It's absolutely astonishing how much work effort you put in this video. You even made a model of a V2 rocket and launching pad just to show it in literally 3 seconds long clip. These videos are amazing, just wow.
Nice vid, as always! I saw a replica of the V2 bomb (shown at the end) and man, this thing was HUGE
Every video, it gets better, you can see it slowly evolve each video.
My father, Polish, was a RAF Spit pilot. He told me that when a V1 was sent to London, you couldn’t catch it in a Spit. But when the V1’s were sent to Birmingham or Manchester, they were tuned for economy and thus had to fly slower. So the slower ones they could catch with a dive, in order to do the wing flick manoeuvre. The Germans got wise, and put buttons on the V1 wing-tip undersides, so you got creamed if you tried the flick.
The production on this is is far an above one of the most cinematic pieces I’ve seen. Well done
Gloucester Meteor flies over my little town in NSW often… 2 Spitfires as well… awesome to still see working 😊
I’ve heard the pulse jet in real life. God it was loud.
Love your videos as always. Unfortunately there’s one tiny gripe I have. The V1 doesn’t make the distinct buzzing sound.
Or at least I can’t hear it.
Still love your work
Yes we should have done better on the sound on this one.
@@Yarnhub Well regardless I’m always glad to see new works from your channel. I greatly respect your dedication.
By the way, For a possible future episode. I suggest looking into an event from 1859 to 1872 called “The Pig War” between the US and British Empire.
Just a thought.
Once again, love your work as always. Looking forward to the next one.
1:20 Cool that they got the appearance of the engine exhaust right - V1 used pulse jets.
What a coincidence, I was recently reading about these missiles, the engineering behind it is mad. I also love the little showing of the V2 at the ending
0:49 the red parts of the air raid siren should be spinning
Other than that another great video from this channel
Ohhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I love that they included the pulse-jet effect. That's quite the attention to detail!
Imagine if the writing on the bomb said
“Unstable Gyro. Do Not Push On Wing!”
That ending sent chills down my spine even thpugh I figured out what was coming. Fantastic video as always, Yarnhub!
3:16 the snail 😭
Dang I’ve not only been mesmerised by the animation but now I’ve been left on a cliffhanger by the story too. Amazing
8:33 as an Aussie I can imagine there was more than colourful language.
It amazes me how you videos went from 2D to realistic 3D animations in just a few years, i absolutely love it!
Animation tip: Air raid sirens spin to make noise. The red internal part should be spinning when the siren is going 👍
What a cliffhanger ending! Even though we all know what's up next, we are still waiting with beating hearts for the unveil
9:07 im really glad he got an idear
Oh my, this channel just keeps getting better, your animation quality is a 10/10, I like it very much. This encounter b/w the Spitfire and the V1 was awesome and scary to the pilots, knowing that the destruction of the V1 they saw could mean the difference between someone lives or not. But I didn't knew about the pilot who tipped a V1, thank you for your content:D
The noise the v1 made is similar to a gatling gun brrrrttt. Look up pulse jet engine if you want to hear it for real.
Ive been waiting for a vid like this for IDK how long thank you yarnhub
That ending is like the small scene you get after a movie that leads onto the next, which technically this is
I have been on Yarnhub since the Castle Itter or P51 vs Jets video, I have to say once again how the animation has come is very astounding.
That doesn’t sound like a V1. The sound is unmistakable and you really should have made the effort to get it right.
THE QUALITY JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER EVERY VIDEO
Keep experimenting new ways man, this level of quality is second to none
Germans eventually added a mechanism that would make the V-1 explode if it was tipped.
The video quality just gets better and better, with each new upload becoming more realistic! Keep up the great work!
Spitefire: “thanks for your service”
“Tips 50 dollars”
I love how you kept the story true to how it really happened. Sometimes this bomb tipping is being made out as the British doing this on a regular basis as a preferred method. Indeed as you are telling here it only happened sometimes when their guns jammed or they ran out of ammunition.
Great stuff once again! One of my favourite stories so that was a nice little bonus ;)
