@dwaynekoblitz6032 my Dad was hit for the 2nd and 3rd time at Monte Casino. Silver Star (bronze) for Anzio. Taken POW for 8 months. Spoke highly of the Polish people in the underground.
I work with a contingent of folks in Poland (IT). Some of the smartest and most committed folks I’ve worked with in 30 years. Thank goodness for Poland and her membership in NATO. Should Putin try another move Poland and Germany should stop him cold
*The irony is that Hitler's scientists not only created the first known fighter jet but laid the foundation for the space race, nuclear ballistic missiles and the cold war.*
So did you mean its "Ironic" that the nazis made the first Jet plane, laid the foundation for space travel by inventing the V2 and helped paved the way for the cold war with their research towards splitting the atom but still lost the war?
It is clearly from a movie, clearly. Some effects twerp added the wheel spin. Clown. It could be from the Brit movie movie "Battle of the V-1" (1958) as the rocket looks nothing like a V2. There is also"Frozen Flashes" (1967) an East German movie about Operation Most III. Could be from the BBC "Secret Weapons" (1977) series; Part 3 has a section about Operation Hydra and Operation Most III.
The Poles also provided an Enigma machine to the Brits who forgot to mention it when they claimed to have cracked the machine. Churchill also abandoned Poland to the Soviets at the end of the war, condemning the Poles to 50 years of communist tyranny.
I'm pretty certain that there was nothing to be done at that point to save Poland from that. Unfortunately. Churchill was not one to give in to dictatorial regimes, but the costs for fighting down war-crazed Germany and Japan, had been unthinkable already. They could give no more. Unfortunately. 😢
@@svanstroll That was exactly what Churchill was doing, he had originally promised the Poles their eastern border would be along the Oder River and when Stalin said he wanted it at the Curzon line at a meeting in Moscow, Churchill went along and when the Poles reminded him about his promise he began screaming at them that they were an insignificant country and that he would abandon them, etc... But worse, Churchill actually gave eastern Europe to Stalin behind Roosevelt's back, google "The Percentages Agreement" and then he turned around and wanted to attack him at the end of the war through "Operation Unthinkable"... or rather, he wanted the US to attack the Soviets, they all laughed at him, by then Britain was bankrupt, Atlee had to send Keynes to the US to beg for a $7 Billion loan, he got $3.75. So unfortunately, Churchill did give in to Stalin, all the time, you should read the letters they exchanged.
Poland was betrayed by germany Russia britain and all European countries over a span of many centuries causing untold misery to polish people .they were usually considered a pawn in big power politics
And now NATOis putting them between Azovs and the Russians.When they figure it out ,they may want part of Ukraine,they have lost a whole generation of men from Ukraine.

Was at Peenemünde museum this summer. A bit of a let down. Everything interesting was looted by Soviets and taken away. Bunch of engine parts, models, that's it. I think you can see more in Science Museum in London.
I have been there too. I mean the same goes for all German military structures of the period. The submarine pens, the artillery bunkers of the Atlantic Wall, the huge flak towers of Berlin and Vienna. They are all now empty of their original contents. For me, the main take from the visit was the huge amount of work it must have taken to make the actual tunnels.
@@Simonsvids I have been to the Atlantikwall Raversijde museum in Belgium this summer. There are many intact WW2 bunkers, various guns and other military stuff. Audio guides provide lots of information. In my opinion really worth a visit.
I was just watching a video of guys with metal detectors going over areas around the Seelow Heights east of Berlin. One guy found a rusted helmut just laying at the base of a tree. They were digging down and finding a position where an SS unit was destroyed.
When I was a kid my father was stationed in Germany and we went to the house of an elderly Polish man he knew called Stan Schnuck (the surname could be different but it’s how I remember his name being said). He told of being in the Warsaw ghetto and how he managed to survive and escape by going into the sewers while the ghetto was burned above them. He had no surviving biological family as they had all been sent to Auschwitz. The one other thing I remember was his story of being in the Polish resistance and how one time they hid themselves in a muddy riverbank during the day to avoid German patrols while, at night, they tried to get a V2, the Germans had lost in the river, out before they could recover it. This must be what he spoke of. Although it must be 45 years since I met this man I can still remember him sitting in his armchair as I listened intently to his recollections of a remarkable life. If he’s still alive he would be past a century by now and if not I hope he is with his family and at peace.
Im amazed so much footage of ordinary close ups of ordinary items and ordinary men doing extra ordinary things. Missle assemblies, gyro scopes, like modern day security cameras in a so called wood peckers nest.
1:47 "upon reaching the designated point, the engine would cut off and V2 would plummet to earth" ........this description is more true describing the flight pattern of the V1.....
When I was 8 years old, an old man told me that when he was little, it had landed v1. After watching the show, I got to thinking about it. It was certainly true. One V2 and six V1. Certainly came to Sweden.
It is amazing how they were doing things like this. Do you have to keep in mind this is a long way from GPS. To navigate like that at night is absolutely amazing.
And they've been diligently ignored in any and all efforts to win the war and also in any post-war celebrations. Bloody tactless on the part of the Brits....
Yeah when I was a kid , I thought the opium war was because the Chinese were selling it in Britain.Itvwent the other way.The British forced opium from India onto the Chinese and took Hong Kong for a hundred years to protect the trade.Dirty ,they have never been the good guys.

It has fallen down to the Bug river swamps and the Germans assumed there's no chance to lift it up. Therefore, they left it in there thinking no one else would pick it up too.
It didn't accelerate any rocket technology by the allies V 2 rockets were shipped to red sands along with German scientists after the war only then did the Americans improve rocket technology

They do not !!!!!!

Awesome true history story I have never heard of this daring and heroic removal of a German V2 rocket by the Polish resistance people
When I was a kid my father was stationed in Germany and we went to the house of an elderly Polish man he knew called Stan Schnuck (the surname could be different but it’s how I remember his name being said).

The Berlin wall would not have come down without the Poles.
My grandfather was an RSM in the war, and was stationed at Brindisi military prison shortly after WW2. Was quite a high ranking officer at the prison.
Each V2 rocket cost more than a pair of brand new B-17’s, only to deliver a 1000lb warhead.
Great science, bad practical decision.
Closer to 3 B17s to be fair.
I kayaked along the River Bug (about 12k of it, it's very long) this summer. Very very shallow where we were, about an hour from Warsaw. Great fun.
Extremely shallow indeed due to extreme drought.
Im amazed so much footage of ordinary close ups of ordinary items and ordinary men doing extra ordinary things. Missle assemblies, gyro scopes, like modern day security cameras in a so called wood peckers nest.
1:47 "upon reaching the designated point, the engine would cut off and V2 would plummet to earth" ........this description is more true describing the flight pattern of the V1.....
Exactly,the v2 actually hit the edge of space and then fell,the kinetic force adds to the warhead.Thatvnew Russian one has no warhead.
When I was 8 years old, an old man told me that when he was little, it had landed v1.
After watching the show, I got to thinking about it. It was certainly true. One V2 and six V1. Certainly came to Sweden.
Yes. No power to main wheels on any aircraft I know.
Interesting, from the title I had expected Projekt Wasserfall, the V2's little brother for use as an anti-aircraft weapon.
I was thinking water drone.
It is amazing how they were doing things like this. Do you have to keep in mind this is a long way from GPS. To navigate like that at night is absolutely amazing.
That C47 had the optional all wheel drive…. 1:01

It’s hard to believe that DC3 cold fly that far behind enemy lines without detection.
When the war ended, neither the heroic Poles nor their country were needed by the British any more....
And they've been diligently ignored in any and all efforts to win the war and also in any post-war celebrations. Bloody tactless on the part of the Brits....

tell that to the channel
Dc3 wingtips angled upward,dc6I believe had wider flatter wings,I thought anyway.
The V2 was basically useless they didn’t have proximity fuse so the explosives burrows to deep to create an effective explosion
Tell that to the families of the victims.
They took down whole building and bunker underneath mate.

I hope no one got muddy with that stationary airplane with about 27 tons of v2 rocket you will not be spinning your wheels
