@@Bok2022st What in the world are you talking about? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Imagine pinning the victory of the allies on Britain who only survived because of its navy. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fought against them in Europe and lost. Fought against them in Africa and almost lost if not for the assistance of others. Fought against them near Greece and lost. Sent troop to the USSR to assist allies and lost right up until Winter came and bailed both militaries out. Come back here when the UK can actually defend itself and/or its allies without relying 100% of the time on the fact that there is water to between them and the rest of Europe. I mean even in the Falklands war where they admittedly performed well they only survived because of the issues that were already going on in Argentina in addition to the fact that there was water between Argentina and the islands. I mean...even Napoleon would have conquered Britain if not for that water...what are you even thinking 😂😂😂😂😂 As for the thing with Ukraine, Germany has valid reasons for not going against Ukraine. Unlike Britain who has the Americans to bail them out if they fk up, Germany is screwed if Russia cuts all exports to them. Sure, the closer summer gets the less of an issue this becomes but you seem to not understand that Europe experiences winter and winter = cold and cold = dead people without adequate heating and that heating comes from electricity which is substantially being provided through the use of gas, Russian gas. So no. Additionally, Germany has no strategic reasons (other than supporting what America wants) to align with Ukraine. They have nothing to gain from it outside of politics but have everything to lose by opposing Russia. In any case, they have taken a bold step forward so far and only time will tell how things go.

Excellent. German fighter pilots and their crews have long been admired for their supreme quality, abilities, and bravery. German engineering speaks for itself also. Quality.

Recap by Tammy AI
This show is not about the battle of Britain. That battle has many documentaries right here on YT. I suggest you look for them. The movies are also on here for free.
Fair comment. It was the first defeat for the Luftwaffe, which allowed the UK to become a large aircraft carrier. Without the battle, the Americans would never have been able to join the European land war, and the Russians would have ended up in Brittany. I'm really glad that the Germans are part of the NATO alliance, but it was a little churlish to have omitted any mention of it. By the way the Me 262 looked good on paper, but the engines were junk and it was often shot down by Mustangs, which had a much better turning radius and were faster in a dive.
I think that the actual combat capability of the German Luftwaffe is extremely marginal and would only be able to counter a small threat for a very short time. One must not confuse a "promotional film" with reality.
I sincerely hope that this long awaited return from a 30 year holiday for the German military, and their Air Force in particular, is not a short time experiment, and that Germany will take on a role within the NATO alliance that is in line with the economic and political power they wield on the world's stage. Despite all the mistakes and blunders of the American foreign policy, Western nations have always benefited from the security and support that the US military provided to Europe in the last 80 years. Although Russia is the most immediate security challenge, especially for the European Union, our cross Atlantic partnership and cooperation will have to grow to be able to play a role in keeping the international law based order in the face of a belligerent China. And although Pacific and East Asia seem like distant potential geographical points of conflict, the effects of those conflicts could have massive repercussion for the EU. Strategic blunders of multiple German administrations have positioned Germany in a terrible spot regarding the energy dependence on a dictatorial Putin's regime. Finally Germany has taken the view of "realpolitik" so famously followed by the first German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and I hope this change will continue after Putin looses the war of aggression.
Oh if u slept in a cave the peak of nato commitment was within the 80s beginning 90s. Blame the 90s and the british resentiment to cut the the german army up to 340k members in the 2+4 treaty. because they still feared us. with the gdr army we were the second largest army well trained on both west and east block fighter jets.
People of Europe have suffered deeply in much their history since the establishment of Greek civilization-the violence of Romans, the Vikings, terrible wars of religion, conquests, world War I & World War II, plus half a century of Cold War. When will they have enough sorrow? Yet their leaders don’t seem to face the fact that in the face of a nuclear war, NATO’s might is insignificant. How wonderful it would be if world leaders woke up & established a global alliance that would ensure security for the ENTIRE world.
Their exceptional engineering cost them dearly in WW2. Designing a tank to last 100,000 miles when Russia was mass producing the crude, but effective T-34 overwhelmed the superior but slowly produced Panzers and Tigers.

Interesting to hear the statistics of the fighter, but I'd like to hear how this compares to the statistics of potential enemy planes. I'm of Dutch decent so I don't know why I like to see the German Cross on the planes, it's a powerful symbol and I'm glad that at last we are all on the same side, and how we (the western and other democracies) are benefitting/prospering from kinship.

WWII is history. All great nations have a past, including Britain. Lessons learned. Let's be brothers and work together to protect Europe and keep the peace. Respect to this very highly professional and capable air force.
@@Sunbiker1974, for sure. The Germans are great and good people and I have always admired them, particularly when I worked in Germany on two occasions.

If you read the industry accord after WW 1 there was a major collaboration initiative with regards to steelworks industry plans between German, France and England, it was headed by several developers who wanted to focus on trade routes and railway developments, Poland, Romania and Ukraine would have been the granaries of Europe that would have fed this massive scale project, Even Junker was on the accords, but then the Great Depression happen

This is a German perspective on the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). I don't think WELT has the resources, desire or access to the Swedish Airforce. Germany is cultivating its martial culture once more, as is Japan. German citizens will become more interested in the military again, and the Luftwaffe is the most important branch of their armed forces. If nothing else, it's the nuclear-sharing that is critical for German security and the enforcement of NATO's Mutual Defense Clause (Article 5). If you're curious, the B-61 is the ordnance that can carry a nuclear warhead. Nuclear weapons are always a part of modern warfare calculus

Man, the F-104 was an insane plane. It used the same engine as the SR-71, was designed like a needle. with what had to be the smallest wings ever put on a plane. No wonder so many German's died during training exercises. The F-104 still fly's today, yea, it helps launching small satellites into space by flying to 90,000Km, giving the rocket attached to it a great leap into space, turning the F-104 into a true StarFighter.
The German contribution to this world had been remarkable lets all hope because Germany does produce extraordinary people and engineering they don't produce the extraordinary evil again.

I think the German air force was in action against Poland in 1939, and they invented and flew the first advanced jets against the Allies in 1945, so this documentary is trying to white wash that inconvenient bit of history.
good day ! I am German and would like to explain something to you! Please look at aerial photos of the cities of East Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, from the year 1988, and please compare these photos with photos taken in 2022! You will notice that the pictures from 1988 look like the ones from 1945! After reunification in 1990, we had to rebuild the entire former GDR! That was expensive and is still not complete! Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Lithuania and Estonia ...we also supported .....we had to save money somewhere! So in the military !!!!! If you are American, a little hint Germany fits 2x in Texas ... it's a small country!
This is just bullshit from the finest. Why you tell people such an utterly crap? Photos from 45 look the same as 89...yeah sure. You probably never seen pictures from what you talking about. And I take every bet that you're a west german! People like you are the problem with the unification of Germany and probably still have a Wall in the Head! We build it by ourselves and all the example city's you talked about were already restored before the wall was build and Germany was divided. Thanks to the Marshall Plan and not thanks to west Germany 🤦♂️ Grow up Dude and become adult! Sheessshh
Have you been dreaming 1. STOPPING the Baltic States sending military aid to Ukraine is GUTLESS and sign of cowardice 2. Still donating Billions to Russia by Oil and Gas purchases 3. Sending HELMETS is NOT military aid OR any form of support for Ukraine 4. Spending SO LITTLE on Defence is betrayal That is NOT standing up to EVIL, that is complicate behaviour?
Impressive.- even better if those Eurofighters were providing No Fly Zone air cover over Ukraine along with the air forces of other former Eastern Bloc now NATO countries.
No Fly Zone is WW3. In a no fly zone,Nato air force must takedown Russian aircrafts that fly over Ukraine and bomb air defence missile locations inside of Russia that could target them while flying in Ukraine's air space. It would escalate to a nuclear war in hours.
Could imagine Neville Chamberlain saying something like that - the last time a European leader was cowed by a bully with an overestimated sense of invincibility.
You are right. The Luftwaffe will get F-35s... we just don't know how long this will take. And as far as I understood it, they're also planning to purchase more Typhoons/Eurofighters. But it is going to take time. You simply cannot fix something in a short amount of time that has been broken for close to twenty, maybe even thirty years.
General Gerhartz' comment about rapid deployment rings differently after he just personally led a squadron of Eurofighters to the Indo-Pacific within 24 hours a couple days ago.
@Jayson Bernard yes, Christopher Cox is the best. He is the only one I can leave my investment with and think less about it, he is my money maker. I just received $13,000 of my investment last month. I am very happy because he is leading me to financial freedom.

Too much talk for nothing! Present seems that Lutwaffe is too small and inefficient. Germany puts 100 billions euros for the futur . Hope that will give Lutwaffe opportunity to be one of the strongest air power in Europe . We need a stronger German army than the past . Time for Germany to join and help England and France for military power and corporations.
the Deutsche Marine could do with a carrier strike force, considering the fact that NATO doesn't have a valid carrier strike group in Europe for immediate deployment . . . instead NATO has to depend on the USN for naval reinforcement . . . the navy could do with a fleet of three brand new Type 69A class 56,832 ton (62,340 ton loaded) stealth (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by iFuelCell® e-HYBRId™ M-HEP system . . . unit cost €4.8 Bn - €6.3 Bn (approx) . . . operating a carrier strike group with a multi-national crew will not only train multiple NATO member navies in carrier ops but also share the high operating cost of a carrier strike group . . . it's air component will be made up of naval carrier borne F-35C Lightning II (Block 40+) multi role stealth interceptor . . . in the 1940s the Messerschmitt Me-262 air defense fighter was a lethal piece of kit like no other . . . with a reinforced airframe, folding wings & strengthened front & aft landing gear the Me-262 could have served well as a naval carrier borne fighter . . . making it the first ever dedicated carrier borne fighter jet in the world . . . the Me-163 with a 8 min flight time wonder whether Me-163 could reach set altitude & engage the incoming B-17A Stratofortress long range strategic bomber within the extremely short intercept window of just 8 mins . . .
It's time to let Germany build up its military again.. They have always been one of the most powerful and technologically advanced militaries in the world.. NATO would be so much stronger and the US wouldn't have to spend as much.. If Germany had a good ally in ww2, they probably would have won

How was that missed out ? Or has it been airbrushed from history ? 🤣
Not interested.
After ww2...
This show is not about the battle of Britain. That battle has many documentaries right here on YT. I suggest you look for them. The movies are also on here for free.
Fair comment. It was the first defeat for the Luftwaffe, which allowed the UK to become a large aircraft carrier. Without the battle, the Americans would never have been able to join the European land war, and the Russians would have ended up in Brittany. I'm really glad that the Germans are part of the NATO alliance, but it was a little churlish to have omitted any mention of it. By the way the Me 262 looked good on paper, but the engines were junk and it was often shot down by Mustangs, which had a much better turning radius and were faster in a dive.
@@hughallen6621 Not nearly the most churlish historical omission of the last 60 years
I think that the actual combat capability of the German Luftwaffe is extremely marginal and would only be able to counter a small threat for a very short time. One must not confuse a "promotional film" with reality.
You miss the point. WELT is about German engineering. The guys who do these documentaries are engineering nerds. I congratulate them.
... for now.
Their military budget is about to blow up. They'll be the 3rd largest military spender behind only the US and China.
Your also wrong about the luftwaffe but the guy above me is right
You are correct....this other guy is caught up in his feelings...however with the recent commitment in funding they can be great again
@@sanynava9160 with that recent budget increase luftwaffe will buy additional 35 pieces of F35 from the US.
Send the MiGs to Ukraine please
I sincerely hope that this long awaited return from a 30 year holiday for the German military, and their Air Force in particular, is not a short time experiment, and that Germany will take on a role within the NATO alliance that is in line with the economic and political power they wield on the world's stage.
Despite all the mistakes and blunders of the American foreign policy, Western nations have always benefited from the security and support that the US military provided to Europe in the last 80 years.
Although Russia is the most immediate security challenge, especially for the European Union, our cross Atlantic partnership and cooperation will have to grow to be able to play a role in keeping the international law based order in the face of a belligerent China. And although Pacific and East Asia seem like distant potential geographical points of conflict, the effects of those conflicts could have massive repercussion for the EU.
Strategic blunders of multiple German administrations have positioned Germany in a terrible spot regarding the energy dependence on a dictatorial Putin's regime. Finally Germany has taken the view of "realpolitik" so famously followed by the first German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and I hope this change will continue after Putin looses the war of aggression.
Oh if u slept in a cave the peak of nato commitment was within the 80s beginning 90s. Blame the 90s and the british resentiment to cut the the german army up to 340k members in the 2+4 treaty. because they still feared us. with the gdr army we were the second largest army well trained on both west and east block fighter jets.
only 30 years???
People of Europe have suffered deeply in much their history since the establishment of Greek civilization-the violence of Romans, the Vikings, terrible wars of religion, conquests, world War I & World War II, plus half a century of Cold War. When will they have enough sorrow? Yet their leaders don’t seem to face the fact that in the face of a nuclear war, NATO’s might is insignificant. How wonderful it would be if world leaders woke up & established a global alliance that would ensure security for the ENTIRE world.
@A p Yes, but can they now come to their senses & move from warlike to a peaceful society? All the world's people should help in this movement.

German engineering is the best tolerances are very close and very well made for the long run!
Do you drive German car, Sir?
Doesn't do much sitting in the hangar when Ukranians are being slaughtered.
Their exceptional engineering cost them dearly in WW2. Designing a tank to last 100,000 miles when Russia was mass producing the crude, but effective T-34 overwhelmed the superior but slowly produced Panzers and Tigers.
@@misterbig9025 no I go not I drive a Chevy Silverado 2001 she works well after all these years, my friend drives a foreign car with problems big time.

Interesting to hear the statistics of the fighter, but I'd like to hear how this compares to the statistics of potential enemy planes.
I'm of Dutch decent so I don't know why I like to see the German Cross on the planes, it's a powerful symbol and I'm glad that at last we are all on the same side, and how we (the western and other democracies) are benefitting/prospering from kinship.
@Shawn 🏴☠️ Stafford Yes they are evocative along with the 'bullseye' of the British I suppose and I wasn't ever a part of that time!
So I'm surprised that it's emotional for me in a good way, like seeing the cavalry coming over the horizon. . . . Goodness WTF. is that all about?

As a german guy I'm with you. Hope we will stay friends forever 🤝🏻😎
@@Sunbiker1974, for sure. The Germans are great and good people and I have always admired them, particularly when I worked in Germany on two occasions.

@@oceanhome2023 agree. We are now brothers and sisters 😊
If you read the industry accord after WW 1 there was a major collaboration initiative with regards to steelworks industry plans between German, France and England, it was headed by several developers who wanted to focus on trade routes and railway developments, Poland, Romania and Ukraine would have been the granaries of Europe that would have fed this massive scale project,
Even Junker was on the accords, but then the Great Depression happen
Germans are great engineers.
Apparently not, over half their planes aren't flightworthy
Scary to know that they COULD have won WW2 with their advanced technology.
@@MrMJmusicLover people say that was due to reverse engineering of alien technology…just like the US does.

@@pottierkurt1702 they are great engineers they just rather not spend money on defense they've been skimping on it since the 1990s it wasn't until the 2014 they hiked they're spending to meet NATO's 2% of GDP Target
USA has much better pilots and aircraft but German pilots are good too.
Do a the same video about the swedish airforce
This is a German perspective on the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). I don't think WELT has the resources, desire or access to the Swedish Airforce. Germany is cultivating its martial culture once more, as is Japan. German citizens will become more interested in the military again, and the Luftwaffe is the most important branch of their armed forces. If nothing else, it's the nuclear-sharing that is critical for German security and the enforcement of NATO's Mutual Defense Clause (Article 5). If you're curious, the B-61 is the ordnance that can carry a nuclear warhead. Nuclear weapons are always a part of modern warfare calculus
United States call it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question...

Man, the F-104 was an insane plane. It used the same engine as the SR-71, was designed like a needle. with what had to be the smallest wings ever put on a plane. No wonder so many German's died during training exercises.
The F-104 still fly's today, yea, it helps launching small satellites into space by flying to 90,000Km, giving the rocket attached to it a great leap into space, turning the F-104 into a true StarFighter.
*90,000 Ft./ 30 KM or it can zoom Climb to 120,000 Ft/ 40 KM
Also SR-71 uses Pratt & Whitney J 58 Producing 32,500 Lbs Thrust Vs. F-104 uses General Electric J 79 Producing 11,900 Lbs Dry / 17,900 Lbs W/Afterburner.
Allot of American pilots died in the 104 bc Lockheed new it was junk they got caught paying congress off to vote there planes in many times
Very good air force in europe.
The German contribution to this world had been remarkable lets all hope because Germany does produce extraordinary people and engineering they don't produce the extraordinary evil again.
I am sorry, but unless you have a "Fat Pilot", you aren't a real air force!
/Heavy Sarcasm.
52.16, shot of a Jaguar taking off, swiftly followed by clips of Tornado, leading into the Tornado story. Some people have trouble identifying aircraft, thats why we see a clip of a Jaguar, which never had any place in a history of the Luftwaffe, when it should have been clip of a Tornado taking off.

I think the German air force was in action against Poland in 1939, and they invented and flew the first advanced jets against the Allies in 1945, so this documentary is trying to white wash that inconvenient bit of history.
try it in ukraine
The Greatest ever in History.
good day ! I am German and would like to explain something to you!
Please look at aerial photos of the cities of East Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, from the year 1988, and please compare these photos with photos taken in 2022!
You will notice that the pictures from 1988 look like the ones from 1945!
After reunification in 1990, we had to rebuild the entire former GDR! That was expensive and is still not complete!
Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Lithuania and Estonia ...we also supported .....we had to save money somewhere! So in the military !!!!!
If you are American, a little hint Germany fits 2x in Texas ... it's a small country!
This is just bullshit from the finest. Why you tell people such an utterly crap? Photos from 45 look the same as 89...yeah sure. You probably never seen pictures from what you talking about. And I take every bet that you're a west german! People like you are the problem with the unification of Germany and probably still have a Wall in the Head! We build it by ourselves and all the example city's you talked about were already restored before the wall was build and Germany was divided. Thanks to the Marshall Plan and not thanks to west Germany 🤦♂️ Grow up Dude and become adult! Sheessshh

love the German's gut. Stand up to Evils.
Have you been dreaming
1. STOPPING the Baltic States sending military aid to Ukraine is GUTLESS and sign of cowardice
2. Still donating Billions to Russia by Oil and Gas purchases
3. Sending HELMETS is NOT military aid OR any form of support for Ukraine
4. Spending SO LITTLE on Defence is betrayal
That is NOT standing up to EVIL, that is complicate behaviour?
Impressive.- even better if those Eurofighters were providing No Fly Zone air cover over Ukraine along with the air forces of other former Eastern Bloc now NATO countries.
No fly zone means total war with Russia. That gives Russia the go ahead to use nuclear weapons.
@Black George lol yeah that’s not why, NATOs tech makes Russian forces laughable.
No Fly Zone is WW3. In a no fly zone,Nato air force must takedown Russian aircrafts that fly over Ukraine and bomb air defence missile locations inside of Russia that could target them while flying in Ukraine's air space.
It would escalate to a nuclear war in hours.
Grrrreat idea! If you're impressed by that, you will be even more impressed by the nuclear missiles that will start flying then.
Could imagine Neville Chamberlain saying something like that - the last time a European leader was cowed by a bully with an overestimated sense of invincibility.
Achtung: DAUERWERBESENDUNG mit Produkt- Platzierungen der dt. Rüstungsindustrie !
They’re going to have to step it up a notch theses days. They have too few.
You are right. The Luftwaffe will get F-35s... we just don't know how long this will take. And as far as I understood it, they're also planning to purchase more Typhoons/Eurofighters. But it is going to take time. You simply cannot fix something in a short amount of time that has been broken for close to twenty, maybe even thirty years.
Awesome documentary and pilots……
Didn't even get to see it fly, looks way to big, no stealth, will show up easy on any radar, ouch!
So are the Germans going to back up those 400 + soldier's fighters against the Russians in Mariupol??
Yeah, let's make it a war between Russia (and most likely China) and NATO. Very smart. This is going to help the Ukrainians so much 👍
At the moment, our Lufwaffe has 42 Eurofighter jets that are fully operational.
I like this strong fighters jets
General Gerhartz' comment about rapid deployment rings differently after he just personally led a squadron of Eurofighters to the Indo-Pacific within 24 hours a couple days ago.
I used to call the german air force the lute waffle when I was a kid.

the Deutsche Marine could do with a carrier strike force, considering the fact that NATO doesn't have a valid carrier strike group in Europe for immediate deployment . . . instead NATO has to depend on the USN for naval reinforcement . . . the navy could do with a fleet of three brand new Type 69A class 56,832 ton (62,340 ton loaded) stealth (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by iFuelCell® e-HYBRId™ M-HEP system . . . unit cost €4.8 Bn - €6.3 Bn (approx) . . . operating a carrier strike group with a multi-national crew will not only train multiple NATO member navies in carrier ops but also share the high operating cost of a carrier strike group . . . it's air component will be made up of naval carrier borne F-35C Lightning II (Block 40+) multi role stealth interceptor . . . in the 1940s the Messerschmitt Me-262 air defense fighter was a lethal piece of kit like no other . . . with a reinforced airframe, folding wings & strengthened front & aft landing gear the Me-262 could have served well as a naval carrier borne fighter . . . making it the first ever dedicated carrier borne fighter jet in the world . . . the Me-163 with a 8 min flight time wonder whether Me-163 could reach set altitude & engage the incoming B-17A Stratofortress long range strategic bomber within the extremely short intercept window of just 8 mins . . .
