  • The BBC's '1943 Berlin Blitz' VR Educational Experience viewed through an Oculus Rift CV1.
    In September 1943, a BBC reporter boarded a plane on an allied bombing raid over Berlin. The incredible recording he returned with forms the basis of this breathtaking experience by BBC Northern Ireland and Immersive VR Education, putting you inside a Lancaster bomber as it navigates a most dangerous journey.

    This was GREAT vr experience. You can really see those meter lights shining in darkness, then get totally blind from searchlights while watching city below burning. Then nightfighters attack.

    Absolutely brilliant! Gets me excited for the B-17 Mighty 8th remake that’s coming out whenever (hopefully soon) from Micropose! Tbh, I’ve never been into the VR experience, but something like this, and then Mighty 8th to implement it, is gonna be unreal and adrenaline pumping!

    7:30 that scene just gives me the chills seeing that bomber going down. That's not just a bomber crew going down. 7 young men never made it home.

    I did this with my father, it was brilliant.
    Edit:It was the Dambusters experience I did, not this one.

    What a fantastic video. Did they use a sim such as IL-2 to make it? I grew up reading the stories to these men, nice to see an immersive experience that can bring their story to a new generation.

    and remember too:
    Why did Bomber Command not get medals?
    Medal clasp and proposed medal
    The planned campaign medal for Bomber Command was never struck. The decision not to award a medal for all members of Bomber Command occurred during the short gap between the wartime coalition and Attlee's Labour Government, whilst Churchill was still P.M.

      No worse than what the Luftwaffe was doing to British towns. My dad grew up during the blitz in Liverpool. Living in holes like rats to avoid the bombs and incendiarys. Bad things were done on both sides don't forget.

      @@discostu9585 What is a hidden fact is that the British Air Force bombed German cities for months that had no strategic use, but only served to kill the population and weaken morale. Again and again they appealed to reason, but after three months they started attacking English cities as well. Before that, only factories and ports were targeted. The systematic bombing of the German cities and the murder of the civilian population went to the account of the belligerent Winston Churchill, who himself said that he would like to see Germans "fried".
      On July 19, Hitler tried one last time with an offer of peace to England to end the air war.
