10:36 Water landing and rescue
“Why don’t you throw me overboard? I’m just so much extra pounds. Throw me out too.” These were the words of Technical Sergeant Forrest Lee Vosler who had been injured in his plane the Jersey Bounce Jr.
On December 20, 1943, Technical Sergeant Forrest Lee Vosler and his crew were aboard their B-17F, Jersey Bounce Jr, flying over Germany. Amidst heavy flak, they successfully dropped ordnance on industrial complexes in Bremen. However, disaster struck when a flak shell hit the wing of their plane, causing a fire in one engine and loss of power in another. Falling away from the formation, they were left vulnerable to enemy fighters. Vosler, manning the .50 caliber machine gun, watched as nearby bombers were attacked and fell from the sky. Their plane was next. Two Bf 109s attacked from behind, hitting tail gunner George Buske and sending a shell into the fuselage, injuring Vosler. In a desperate attempt to keep the plane flying the crew pushed as much out of the plane as they could. At which point Vosler made his request to sacrifice himself for the lives of the crew.

I love that game
I wish I just discovered war thunder
Too bad there is a boycott rn
Hi yarnhub
Uh 2 week war thunder strike to make the rewards better heh
These animations never cease to amaze me, the level of detail in each and every video just keeps evolving, brilliant work as always, Yarnhub!
Exactly!
❤
Yarnhub animations are like to best animations I have ever seen
Yeah, it started from 2d animations, and then simple 3d animations, and slowly evolves into more realistic animations, which is funny in some way because they use *unreal* engine
Ahh, those were the good old days. When they sclera of the eyes were the same colour as white skin. 👀👀
3:09 Hearing the screams of the crews on the radio as their B-17s fall is quite haunting
Wouldn't they be more busy bailing out then screaming like idiots?
@@ukeyaoitrash2618 well the plane shown was spinning
@@ukeyaoitrash2618 put yourself in their shoes. Instead of insulting them behind a screen think about what it was like being in a B-17 falling out of the sky.
@@ukeyaoitrash2618the force of a spinning aircraft is too much to bail
@@ukeyaoitrash2618well it looks like you were the idiot afterall
I think your animation of aircraft has improved tremendously over time! I remember seeing your older videos and noticing how the aircraft always maneuvered in a much more "arcadey" fashion, you animated them always way too close and slow for them to look realistic, but it got the point across.
Now your animation of aerial combat has gotten much better and looks much more realistic!
Keep it up!
Personally, I think of those old animations as an intended style! Pretty sure they know what they're doing, but of course I prefer the new animations as well.
In 2000 i got to fly in a B17. Your graphics are excellent. People don't realize how thin the metal skin is on these planes. It's as think as the cardboard on a box of cereal. Having bullets and shrapnel easily go straight through the plane. Those men were incredibly brave.
My grandfather was a radio operator on a B-17, and made it through dozens of missions over occupied Europe. Watching this video, I wondered how many times he heard the screams of his fellows when their planes went down.
...too many man. That's the last thing one wants to remember, burning and bleeding men screaming...
My great uncle, who sadly isint here anymore he was a radio operator too and he’s told me All he could hear, was screams of his friends and fellow countrymen, I could take any other position on a B-17 boat radioman no
@@FinleyLengel-rp2bm Wow. My grandfather _never_ talked about his war service. When I was a teenager, a heritage group brought a bunch of WWII planes to an airbase near my hometown. My dad and I went, and were stunned to see my grandfather (my mom's father) there, walking in and around the B-17 they brought. He still wouldn't talk about anything though. After my grandmother died (1991), we discovered in her house a scrapbook full of pictures and memories from his service. No one in the family knew it existed until everyone from that generation had passed on (probably because it had a bunch of pictures of ladies, none of whom were my grandmother ... pretty sure that's why she kept it hidden!). I recently inherited the scrapbook when my uncle (brother of my mom) suddenly died; I'm planning to get it digitized so I can share with other family members and with a veterans organization.
@@scotthughes2687You will be glad you did.
The truth.. It never goes away. It my fade some over the years, but it always there
The radio communication at around 3 minutes is scary as hell. Can't even imagine what these brave souls went through. Excellent stuff as always, Yarnhub crew.
Like dude that’s what I’m saying. There’s a scene in the Memphis Belle, where one of the fellows goes down. you could hear the radio man screaming all The way down and the Memphis bells, radio man was forced to unplug his radio
@@FinleyLengel-rp2bm
Yeah, I remember that scene very well. 'It's the rookies, they got the rookies'. Being a flyboy - and soldier in general - wasn't all glamour and glory.
Its almost like the Clone Wars screams from the clones dying.
The Movie Overlord starts with paratroopers entering Germany…. It’s intense with planes going down left and right
Do y'all really believe that while they were plunging toward the ground to certain death, that they took the effort to push the transmit button on the radio so the net could hear them? Hollywood isn't reality, folks.
I swear to god that generation were built, not born. Absolute legends.
Because they won , guys in Nam haven't been less brave.
@@samkangal8428 My Grandfather Salutes you!
There is a reason they are called the greatest generation.
Some people never meet there heroes . I was raised by mine.
I wish our generation was like them.
Amazing. Stunning. Your graphics just get better every single time, as well as your narration!! I love your channel and this is why I’ve bought your merch
thank you !
@@Yarnhub Could you make an animation based on the Harlem Hellfighter.
@Mr.DripWalker which one the last upload was it
@@mr.dripwalker8226 .
@@mr.dripwalker8226 They’re teaming up with Sabaton to make a movie about their album The War to End All Wars, which features a song about the Harlem Hellfighters. I don’t know how much backstory the movie will provide for each song, but I imagine that there will be some. So, in a way, they’re already making that video! :D
I love these moments when they show real images of the planes and then their animations in the same position, it makes it way more immersive than it already is
Legend has it that after this battle, the Germans emailed Gaijin to Nerf the b17 and it’s .50 cals. Also, y’all nailed it with this video. Keep up the amazing work!
💀
lol🪖
Given how he ye olde pub was in this battle, I guess survivability also had to be nerfed through the floor.
@@roadtrain_ fr 😳
@@RookVR_ yeeep, look at the last scene.
2 planes, 2 incredible stories of planes that just would NOT die.
I have been watching Yarnhub for a while and listening to Sabaton “No Bullets Fly” story video by Yarnhub and noticed something familiar: This takes place on Dec. 20, 1943. The same day that the “Ye Ole Pub” flew on that famous mission. Was this B-17 in the same flight as the other, much more famous, aircraft. Also, this is such a unique story. Never heard of something like it. Keep up the great work, Yarnhub!
Just now decided to watch the last few seconds and realized that is was. Only thing is, though, is there any info on whether the two crews knew or saw each other? Again, keep up the great work and can’t wait to see ya’ll next week!
To think while the flying boats were rescuing this crew, a German was escorting another one home.
Stigler?
@@demonemo9812 Stigler
Brother has to have some balls to just casualy ask for his crew to throw him out
"Damn me and my giant balls of steel... Throw me out, lads. Save yourselves."
@@punbug4721 His balls wheighted the same as a B-17.
He has already accepted his fate, at this point it's save your brother's.
Good thing they liked him. Otherwise, he'd been bye bye and long dead.
The rest of the crew was like hell no I'm not abandoning you. I'm staying by your side till the end
I love how the Left wing tip and flaps are destroyed
Such good attention to detail!
Stigler is that reaccuring character that everyone loves. Your videos as well as sabaton have convinced me that he was a good man.
Wait, Franz Stigler was in this one? What part?
@@robertlombardo8437 He was mentioned near the end. He participated in that battle where he met Ye Old Pub
@@robertlombardo8437he was also mentioned in another video about a separate German fighter ace
@whitewolf 2659 "It would be you". Feels man
@@abitofapickle6255 your wording is confusing me a bit what?
As a person that has watched your videos for years, i am amazed on how well the graphics are esspesially when you compeare the old videos to the recreations.
Woah i found out i have been subscribed for 3 year's. time moves fast.
Dang I didn’t realize that incident happened in the same battle as what happened with Franz Stigler and Charlie Brown.
Also amazingly well made video YarnHub team
the improvements on the air-combat vids are incredible, the scale is improving every time
As someone who has watched since your first video, I would like to say I'm amazed on how far yarnhub has came.
My jaw literally dropped when you revealed the “Ye Ol’ Pub” at the end! Amazing how many of these stories intertwine!
Looking forward to this! A wonderful job keeping history alive with today's attention. Well done, thank you Yarnhub 🇺🇸🐾
These graphics are getting better every week.
The details on the human models are improving, and their movements are becoming more and more smooth. Compliments to the animators.
What an incredible story!! I freaking love this channel and the b17 is my favorite plane, I get so excited every time I see a new hero. Vossler is a hero!!
Dude, same
I recognized that "It's December the 20th, 1943, high in the skies above Germany", I can't believe that Jersey Bounce Jr. and Ye Olde Pub were on the same flight.
Great video as always, Yarnhub.
In just 3 years, yarnhub was from 2D animated videos now to these impressive videos, keep up the good work, looking forward to more videos.
You plan to do any falklands war or more vietnam war videos? those are very interesting.
This looks absolutely wonderful!! when i heard the words "It's December the 20th 1943" I was like wow another Remake? But my sheer curiosity kept me hooked onto a story you won't read anywhere in the History books
This is how you start the weekend the right way! A new video from Yarnhub!
It’s even more realistic am I watching a movie? Big respect for this man
Absolutely stunning, both animation and storytelling. I cheered as you revealed everyone survived. Great job, again.
8:10 "its been a great 20 years" damn, only 20 years old, hits hard, glad he survived and man do we take our youth for granted
3:08 The screams of terror through the radio reminds of similar scene from the film Memphis Belle. That was probably they last movie made without much CGI.
kind of of an aquard time to be sponsored by warthunder
Altough war thunder is currently suffering from bad in game economy, i think the B 17 is low enough tier, where it is still playable. To anyone who wants to try it, I recommend playing ground realistic battles once you get the b17, as you will have enough experience to know, what to do. Have fun!
Also when they are preparing the life raft, buske was sliding down the edge of the wing into the water but then vossler grabbed his waist with one hand while his other hand holding a antenna so they won't fall into the water
11:50 this just goes to show that every man in every plane has a story
Can u imagine the feeling in their body each time they think about those memories and remembering the adrenaline punch of this event, the fear of seeing all of your fellow bomber tearing themself aparts all arround you, the fear of dying, then killing all of these ennemie aircraft and surviving every next obstacles, + all of em surviving 10/10
One thing i like about your videos is that they have real footage/pictures of the planes tanks ships and it makes it more realistic!
Your animation is SO good compared to your older videos!!!
Best crossover in history!!! Jersey Bounce Jr flying along side with Ye Olde Pub!!!
The fact that Ye Olde Pub and Jersey Bounce Jr were both in the same flight at the right time...
The lore intertwines more than once.
(EDIT) And Tondelayo apparently.

And Tondelayo...
@@Yarnhub Goddamn…
Nice
Yarnhub, if Disney or some other major art studio that produces films isn't trying to pick yall up, theyre the most incompetent people on the planet. Your animations are beating theres now in my opinion fantastic work
Disney is to woke for Yarnhub. Heck they should take over Dreamworks.
They are the most incompetent studio on the planet. Disney died with Walt. What's left is corporate greed and groomer pandering.
Amazing how much the animated MOH winner looks exactly like the photo.
Excellent stories! Like the animations a lot. A similar thing happened with my Grandpa, he flew as a Co-Pilot in B-25s and 24s later on. During one sortie they had a direct hit around the nose and cockpit. It partially scalped & temporarily blinded Grandpa due to the blood and oil spray. It took most of the pilots head away, killing him instantly and severely wounded his crewman in the nose of the plane. He could see enough to take control of the plane and then they gained altitude as he didn't think theyd make it back, maybe having to bail. None of the crew bailed. He managed to land it safely though his eyes were almost swollen shut but after some weeks, he was able to get back to it. He married Gran during the war and would send her lots of little pencil and pen sketches of the planes, his friends and things. They had a special party once on the base for the local families and such and he played the clarinet in a throw-together band. Thats where they met and had their first dance together. When I turned 28, I took Grandpa up after I passed from my flying lessons and first thing he did when sitting in the seat next to me was to stick up a photo of Gran that she gave him in 1943 as a keepsake.
Absolutely amazing vid! One sometimes doesn't realize just how chaotic and intense the war in the skies really was! Thanks again for bringing all these parts of history back to life with such quality!
Unfortunate time to be sponsored by WT :'D
Fantastic! I hope these incredible stories never get lost in the sands of time. Your channel content is inspiring.
There's a reason they call it the "Flying Fortress"
This channel is growing, animation-wise and audience-wise. I've watched your channel since the very first release of your videos!
Great work Yarnhub! Absolutely plonkers how good it has grown.
I salute every veteran across all branches of the military you guys have my upmost love and respect God bless you all❤❤
The amount of B-17 crews that never returned is astonishing.
My god the screens coming from the radio sound so real and sounds like it should be in a movie
1:06 i didn't expect this perfect transition
Thanks for commenting on my video and I love this video
The first time I watched this and I heard on the radio where the crew of another b-17 was screaming cause they're plane was going down and then it became silent sent a shiver down my spine
Such bravery, those were real men. and these vids are epic!!!
Man, I love this channel. It's probably the best history lesson that can be told and shared on TH-cam
Listening to those poor lads screaming over the radio is haunting.
From your first video to this one, amazing work.
Children in all schools should be made to watch these, educate them so they remember.
🇬🇧 💞 USAAF, RAF, RCAF, RNZAF and all free men who flew against tyranny 1939 - 1945
Tyranny continues with the nazis in Ukraine, aided by the USA, i wonder how those we lost in ww2 would feel about NATO backing up Ukraine's, Stepan Bandera worshipping, nazis today.
Somemore history you should research and why the following actually happened too:\
"Gentleman, I have come to the inexcusable conclusion that we have fought this war on the WRONG SIDE! We should have fought WITH the Fascists AGAINST the communists, and not the other way around. I fear in 40-50 years we may pay a dear price for this mistake."
...... General, George Patton. 07-21-1945, five months before his assassination -------- on orders from someone in the U.S. Government because he became a liability when he found out the truth of Why America was thrown into the War on Germany which has lead to the decline of Western Civilization ever since.
as someone who finds it really hard to place people on very high pedestal and say they are the best,
confidently i say, there is no other channel that re-creates historical events better than yarnhub.
might as well carve it into a rock.
11:42, referring to Charlie brown and Franz Stingler, honour in the skies where enemies became friends
I LOVE YE OLDE PUB
You I love it when you make a new video thank you yarnhub
Amazing video. I love the style and story in general. Keep it up!
Everyone of them missed the opportunity to scream "YOU'VE GOT A HOLE ON YOUR LEFT WING!".
Famous last words - "Yeet"
This channel is great I love it when y’all incorporate real life photos of the brave men
I come to your channel whenever I watch a Infographic Show video to wash away the terrible aftertaste they put out. You guys try to help people to understand the world around them and own up to your own mistakes. That's what sold me to your channel. You do much to honor the memories of these heroes. Keep up the great and entertaining work!
The B-17 in War Thunder takes one .30 cal hit to the wing tip and the entire tail falls off.
It's designed to fail in the game so you pay more to repair it every battle.
The video: another great story to be told. 🙂
Sponsored by War Thunder?
The timing is ..ouch.
Yyyeeeeaaaahhhhhh…..
Probably everything was agreed and contract or whatever signed way before the whole shitshow went down
Yikes
Just when WT is at its worst lol
He must have been listening to the free bird solo
A medal of honor. A befitting award. And looking at his picture, Kevin Bacon looks like him
The tail gunner George Buske is my grandfather. This is a great video to see it can only imagine so much reading about it. There is a book Saving Sgt. Buske with great detail of the mission. Only concern is I believe he shot down the German plane
before going unconscious. He was a very humble man so didn’t tell much detail of the missions. Plus would say “ I passed out, don’t remember much lol” He was a great
man who is missed very much.
A couple of really cool details I spotted were the spiral on the German fighter’s propeller and the dog fight scene looked almost like ww2 footage at times with some color added. You guys never fail to amaze
I love it every time I see a new yarn hub video
Another fantastic video. I really don't know how your animation seems to get better after each and every video!!!!!
You guys really deserve more subscribers than what you have
You can cut parts of this video, slip it into a Call of Duty trailer and people will probably fail to realize it was made by a youtuber. Yarnhub animation is really outstanding. You guys are the UFOTABLE of TH-cam.
The animation is just getting better and better. I like the different camera angles too. Maybe you are ready to make a full fledged documentary or movie.
We need a behind the scenes video on how you do this
working on it
@@Yarnhub Great!
@@Yarnhub Woohoo!
I've been watching this channel for a long time. The animations and commentary keep getting better! Keep up the amazing work!
These men are why we can sit here today, consuming TH-cam videos in comfort. And the ones that never came back.
WW2 is a time where we had the most bravest soldiers in history
What a day to be sponsored by war thunder
Man gave his soul to the snail 🥶
The Animation level of detailing of war sequence Wow amazing B17 War Thunder sequence by Yarn Hub team 👏 Brillant work The quality of details are amazing
where do you guys get these stories?! i always LOVE to watch a video of yours! and the graphics are also sooooo much better than it used to be. i'm very impressed every time and i love the stories, keep it up!
Your videos are so entertaining and are making us learn about the people who fought for our freedom. Thanks for this epic video ❤
Being the radio man had to be absolutely horrible. You had to hear every yell and cry as your allies went down. Props to this man for keeping his cool and having the wherewithal to keep fighting.
Mr Yarnhub i feel like im wathching a movie more than a video because the details of your animations are realistic
Wow, this is your best feature to date! Absolutely stunning.
I wonder if you are working on any more naval content? Those are my favorite!
We're working on something you'll like.... and it's looking great.
Do not listen to gaijin, stay strong people, wait till they fix the game
" Tell 'em to make it count. "
The guy literally looks like a kid…a properly different breed back then. Fkn superheroes the whole lot of them!
A great video featuring a great story and a phonmenal animated video.
Great job guys . Wonderful video 👍.
Gotta love the quality and time made to make these very detailed videos
Always deserve an award for animation.also while we indulge the pleasure of life these men suffer and died for it Salute to our soldiers.
Even though he doesn't upload that often the videos are always really good
Gaijin needs new players so they are sponsoring this video😅
When I was stationed at Keesler AFB, I worked in the Vosler building named in his honor. Amazing video once again!
I’ve been watching ever since you’ve made 3D animations, and for the past year you’ve innovated so much it’s ridiculous and entertaining!
