  • P-47 MY MOST FAVORITE PLANE! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO FLY THAT PLANE!

  • @willbitch6 i rather ride in a P-51

  • Comment removed

  • To all the bashers, if your someone in your country were to make a show like this, would it not glorify your countries servicemen? There's nothing wrong with putting your people in better light than "the bad guys". Patriotism and nationalism are part of a national identity. If you don't like it, don't ruin it for other people.

  • @fsxflyer253 Nice one

  • Holy shit, there's something I really don't understand... How come every single time we should just be watching a video and giving all those heroes, on both sides, the respect they truly deserve... There always has to be a bunch of sad trolls swarmin' all over the place, boasting this pilot or that pilot? It won't give you rounder balls or bigger dicks, you know...

  • @hide86

    i agree..btw......happy holidays

  • @etornel79 happy holidays to you, man!

  • why are there 7 dislikes?

  • @cleave6

    trolls....they travel in groups....walking together in a strait line to hide their numbers...they are easily startled...but will quickly regroup after being rattled....so...i must quickly write you this message....

  • too much bullshlachen-talking on this site. but to face some true facts: the "german assault" of fighter planes (errr, as there were no bombers left) was so unimportant that this "incident" was almost never mentioned. sad to say so, but this is a typical american "documentory". aaahh, but aren't they all heroes, lol.

  • could be better graphics but oh well

  • We never nukes Germany dipshit lol

  • did the narrator say B-51 and B-47???

  • damn 240p...

  • I did not know until I started watching this videos that the P47 Thunderbolt was such awesome fighter plane. Thank goodness our factories made them as tough as they did.

  • Cant you like update the video to get it in HD or something?

  • Jesus crist...the quality sucks so much I can even tell whats happening.

  • @mrspritezero oh my fucking god can you be more ignorant??how old are you 7?? hahaha youre a stupid moron jackass,, youre calling heinz bar a shit??hahahah he shot down 221 planes and he fought on all yes fucking AAALLLL fronts of the war and he fought since the very fucking begining till the very fucking enddd,,he didnt shot down rookies he shot down experienced mustang and p4 7 pilots i sjust that off course no one can reach the level of the top german aces this men where a race apart

  • @pudransemarikas you shouldnt write that race shit ! there definetly WERE some great american and allied pilots !!! BUT they couldnt score as much victories because there were not that many german planes in the area...if there are 2000 american (only american) planes and 300 germans..who do you think has more chanced for kills and victory ?aynway this show is somewhat american propaganda with exxagerated single events...just ask yourself...how could the war be so long if thats the average day:)

  • off course this shit is exxagerated , stop crying about the race thing what about it?? typical comment from a no balls no pride new german fag ,, youre really german?? you love niggers or what?

  • @pudransemarikas 1st the race thing is competely irrecelant because all people are the same no matter where they are from or how they look like... 2nd i AM german and i am proud of my country and to some degree of our history !! i dont love "niggers" but i dont hate them eihter ! what the hell is your problem that you have to be a youtube troll insulting everyone ? all the pilots fighting in the war need to be respected not only high scoring german aces though they were somewhat incredible !!

  • @IIIJG52 bah just shut up , youre just a poser here youre not german , and if you are youre pathetic , you must be the son if muslim or jew inmigrants ,fuck new germany is just a shithole full of niggers jews and arabs ,you have no pride and no self respect , thats why your country is never going to be a world power again , russia is the only country left with balls in this shit world

  • @pudransemarikas are YOU german ?well i definetly am ! we already are a world power but not a military one anymore...though we have some good military...and i am not a muslim jew or nigger or whatever,,,im just a normal german guy nothing mroe nothing less and i am proud to be german but not in a higher race kinda way...what the hell went wrong when you grow up? that you have to insult all people who do not agree to your ideas...

  • @IIIJG52 no im not german but im from castilla northern spain the part of spain that arab niggers never touch my ancestors kicked them out of spain , are you christian? do you like what your country is now compared to what it was? europe is fucked ,you just pray nazis are back from antartica or something because if noit we are gonna have to move to russia pal ,

  • @pudransemarikas well i am not christian i am atheist..i do not believe in any god at all...especially considring that religion is THE most cause for any wars since the beginning of mankind !! you know...religious wars are only a fight over who has the better imaginated friend...i do not have any problem at all with any "arabs" "niggers" or whatever as long as they are working members of the society .

    god bless...

  • @pudransemarikas

    Indeed,Heinz Bar was fighting since 1939 'till the bitter end in 1945,amongst his 221 kills(125 against Western Allies) there were 10 P-51,11 P-47 and 21 four-engined bombers.Hauptmann Theodor ''Theo'' Weissenberger,Gruppenkomandeur of I/jg 5 ''Eismeer''-In 6 weeks between June and July 1944 he got 25 kills on the Normandy Front(13 P-47,2 P-51,2 Lightings,two Spitfires and six Typhoons),and flying the 262 he got another eight kills(7-four engined bombers and a P-51).

  • this usa show is mostly bullshit they always talk about their supossed victories but never tell about their defeats they supossedly shot dowm 23 germans ,well news for you a single pilot ace heinz bar wasted 10 p 51s crapstangs and 11 p 47 thurdershits plus 3 p 38 hahahahaha ,yanks never make shows about their defeats

  • @pudransemarikas if you hate it so much get your own similar show. This show is accurate and of course is going to show American victories. I don't see why it wouldn't show any of them.

  • @Itsmeagain9145 maybe i will , accurate? hahahaha this show is bullshit , like when they show a crapstang being hit by 4 30 mm cannons and the only damage in the crapstang is some little holes in it hahaha ,if this shit is about dogfight examples why they dont show examples of truly masters of dogfighting like marseille or hartmann those where true masters of the skies ,the name shoud be tho ones we supossedly won but exagerate hahaha

  • @pudransemarikas How would you know It's all in flight tactics sure if it's a multiple hit scenario the Mustang would get shredded. But obviously he got grazed. DO research the P-51 Mustang and P-38's are better in design and superior to a lot of what the Germans put out during the war. And if our planes were so in superior why did the P-51 Mustang fly with Air forces around the world until 1984. That's a hell of a service record. 

  • @usmctate you stupid ignorant fat redneck shit, you just dont know anything, read a little ok? we have the internet now shithead, crapstang and lightbitch where not superior not even to the old bf 109 haha,in fact 109 g10 14 coud outturn outclimb shitstang easily,and had almost the same speed,the 109 also flew with many airforces after the war including israel,yank fat shit you got to accept that your space program was created by germans,even the b2 is based in the horten 229 flying wing

  • @pudransemarikas The P-51 Mustang wracked up over 600 kills during the two years it was in service. You're just trolling the internet like an idiot looking for attention and I am giving it to you. They were all really good aircraft, the ME-109, had a top speed of about 381 MPH, the Mustang had it beat by 50 MPH. The German aces were killed off over the 6 years of the war with obsolete fighters, the US had more allies with more experienced pilots. Quit trolling.

  • @XtraDimensiionz not to be a jerk about this but the P-51 Mustang didn't serve the last 2 years of WWII it served 3 years. It was the Brits that requested more P40s but the US couldn't produce enough.

    North American Aviation made a new prototype (new airframe same Allison V1450) so the brits used the Mustang in the Reconnissance units

  • @P51DOwner I actually messed up a lot in that reply..I was pretty mad at the guy so I typed it really fast...

  • the bf 109 was by no means an obsolete fighter, is true that many where converted to Kanonenvogels to kill bombers that where causing the main damage to cities, so bombers where priority targets,that broke the bf 109 performance as a fighter ,still a clean bf 109 g 10 g 14 k 4 was more than a match for any crapstang ,look for the video skip holm talks about the bf 109 he says bf 109 was superior and he is AMERICAN

  • @XtraDimensiionz Thank you somebody is finally telling this queer faggot how it is.

  • @pudransemarikas Why don't you talk more facts and less insults. The mustang was a fine airplane and so was the BF-109. The Germans have given many things to this world but history is history. Yes in know that the 109 flew with many air forces after the war so did the mustang their both great airplanes, not one over the other moron both designs are superior in their own way etc etc. Any who I'm sick and tired of talking to a arrogant stupid fuck who thinks he knows all.

  • @Itsmeagain9145 child.

    

  • @pudransemarikas you are a fascist fucktard, watch DOGFIGHTS kamikaze or something, I'm not even american, and you fucking disturb me. americans canbe arrogant, but they do admit there defeats. Your amazing pilot is shit compared to erich hartman, and the reason why your pilot is so "amazing" shooting down so many planes is because he shot down rookies, inexperienced pilots, and you think probably a messchershmiddt shooting down a p38 is amazing, then you are a dumbass.

  • @mrspritezero oh my fucking god can you be more ignorant??how old are you 7?? hahaha youre a stupid moron jackass,, youre calling heinz bar a shit??hahahah he shot down 221 planes and he fought on all yes fucking AAALLLL fronts of the war and he fought since the very fucking begining till the very fucking enddd,,he didnt shot down rookies he shot down experienced mustang and p4 7 pilots i sjust that off course no one can reach the level of the top german aces this men where a race apart

  • @pudransemarikas Go get your own show, you smelly Limey.

  • @zeroplague

    And who the fuck are you,huh???

  • @Raubritter1488 I'm the man you wanted to be. Jealous.

  • @pudransemarikas

    The US pilots put claims for 23 LW fighters.Indeed,German JG 11 lost 24(and 22 pilots),but some of them went down by flak,too:three before the attack and another four during the airstrike.So finally JG 11 lost 17 planes to fighters and they shot down twelve fighters between P-47 and P-51,a fairly matched result,and these fucking DF liars claim that only a single JUG went down.Fuck you,liars!!!

  • @Raubritter1488 amen hermano ,, hablas español???? tienes toda la razon , este show es una mierda

  • @pudransemarikas

    Que les den por el culo,que se pudran en casa pajeandose con las historietas de Rambo de mierda mientras sus supersoldaditos vuelven a casa en bolsas de plastico!!!!Que se jodan!!!

  • @Raubritter1488 y les estan dando, los arapientos les estan dando una paliza en afghanistan, los tales ranger y seals no pueden con un monton de arapos con fusiles viejos hahaha ,, que opinas de la paliza que les dieron en schweinfurt hahaha ,, pero de esa si no hace dogfight hahahaha saludos

  • @pudransemarikas

    Y no solo en Schweinfurt,sobre Berlin el 6/3/1944 tambien,alli perdieron 69 bombarderos y 11 cazas(con los desguazados por averias fueron 75 y 14,respectivamente) y sobre Oschersleben el 7 de Julio de 1944 perdieron 58 bombarderos y 24 cazas,jajaja!!!

  • @pudransemarikas What about the nearly times where Heinrich Bar was shot down nearly 20 times, along with having to do emergency landings because his plane had been severely damaged? And then died while in a spinning aircraft after the war? You call a Thunderbolt a 'Thundershit' when a P47 could take bullets to the engine and still fly home. Not to mention Robert Johnson's case of a spinning aircraft with an engine on fire, he regains control, takes more punishment, and flies home.

  • @Stexer91 so what if he was shot down? he survived to fight again, what is 10 times shot down compared with more than a thousand succesful combat missions?, this men this german pilots had no tour of duty limit this guys had balls of steel its amazing, so what if he died fuckface? your stupid fat fuck patton died in an stupid car crash he ate the dashboard of his jeep hahahahaha stupid way to die for a fat fuck like him, thundershit was a pos bad climb rate poor manuvreability,only numbers

  • @pudransemarikas

  • @etornel79 get back to your techno crap moron,youre just an idiot

  • @pudransemarikas well obviously your still living from information/news from 2008. its reversing now, we arnt sending jobs to china anymore XXDDD

  • @pudransemarikas The tides turning chink. Jobs are coming back to America and you have our debt in the form of bad loans XD you guys would be screwed if America collapsed, good bye Chinese economy your government will deny the bad dollars they took.

  • @usmctate a recent co-authored study by Robert Feenstra, an economist at the University of California, Davis, shows that global economic leadership would pass to China in 2014. And, even more radically, Arvind Subramanian of the Peterson Institute of International Economics argues that China actually surpassed the US in PPP terms in 2010.hahahahaha fat fuck

  • @pudransemarikas You can't trust charts that far into the future The thing is about economics it can't be charted out years in advance because anything can happen between that time and I would know jobs are coming back. and how recent is this study? a year or two old. And like i said if their trading partner becomes weak the whole world follows in suit. America built the modern world. Face the reality of who the victors are. So hate us all you want.

  • @usmctate victors blah blah blah , all circles close some day and yours is coming to an end ,you know it its a fact and thats butthurts you moron, hahaha ,listen obama will cut the Pentagon budget by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.,what do you think thats a sign of? i dont hate america because you cant hate ar judge an entire country for morons like you ,there are many intelligent americans out there

  • @pudransemarikas You wouldn't know intelligence from a good case of amroids. If it wasn't for dumb assholes like you there wouldn't be problems in the world would there. And plus Obama's done I hate that Boy in the White House he acts like a 15 year old dictator. I know what the reality is about America were having an economic recession we have debt thanks to the federal government that we cant pay off. But we have a ways to go before we fall to any outside force.

  • @usmctate hahahaha ways to go? according to studies from economics experts china will surpass your economy as soon as 2015 2020 ,whos causing the problems in the world pal? not me its your government and their new world order , obamas is just a puppet from the jew bankers moron, get your head out of your ass and read some more ok?

  • @pudransemarikas Calling me a jew huh well I know plenty of em there good people. Unlike you stupid Muslim rats who migrated from the earths ass...what a dumb inbred turd you are. Get some meds and a good education.

  • @pudransemarikas I am done being involved in your ignorant 3 world hate America rant. You sound like a toddler on crack. Your disgusting in your online attitude, stupid inbred chink. I want to see facts not what you say.

  • @pudransemarikas LMFAO wow your stupid you believe Hitler is in the South Pole with Bruce Lee. Why am I talking to a bitch like you lol. Seriously get some meds and a good education.

  • @pudransemarikas

    you are as dumb as a piece of paper...i was referring to the spanish / american war idiot..it is funny that you are a wanna-be nazi..but yet since the moors occupied the iberian peninsula for 600 years and all of spain posses 25% moorish dna (african ) ..you still believe what you see in the mirror...you can look european and still be part something else...face it ...you are mixed.....we all are...

  • TO PRO AMERICAN

    ONLY PROBLEM

  • 4 krauts dead.

  • All Hail the men of the 352nd FG........

    TCUNC76

  • happy new year to the americans that fought for y29

  • its not a game it a show called dogfights from the history channel

  • can anybody tell me what game is this?

  • what season is this i dont remember this... -__-

  • @Triarii3 possibly 1,2, or 3

  • Now you're the cockpit as P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts rise to defend their own territory, in an extraordinary fight known to history as the Legend of Y-29!

  • almost better than bonanza!

  • Watch this Vid to get a view from the other Side

    German Bf109 fighter pilot movie:"I Flew for the Führer"; Heinz Knoke diaries PART 1

  • impressive outcome considering the odds!

  • @Paul1984Aus It's because the 352nd was that damn good.

  • My favorite episode and both my favorite WWII jet aircrafts, the P-51 Mustang and

    the P-47 Thunderbolt.

  • @Raymund925 Jet aircrafts? The only jet around at this time was the ME-262...they used piston engines.

  • @Tabby266 they also had the ME163 rocket figher

  • @P51F86F4F15F22 Rockets...not jets...

  • @Tabby266 something faster than a jet

  • @Tabby266 bomber pilots saw what looked like a comet falling near them hence its name me 163 komet

  • i find it funny american fighter pilots where fighting germans with a hangovers lmfao americans ftw

  • @xxxShadowKnightxxxx That's just it. They really weren't hungover.  Not the 352nd anyway. J.C. made sure they were ready.

  • Is there anything on the Red Baron?

  • @KickenItOldSchool Uhm, the Red Baron fought in the FIRST world war and was killed before that war was over. He'd have a hard time appearing in the skies over Y-29 in 1945. If you wish to know more about the Red Baron, there are some documentaries here on youtube you can peruse.

  • @Darthbelal DUH i was asking if there was any episodes on him

  • @KickenItOldSchool  sorry 'bout that kicken, no there aren't any episodes specifically about the Red Baron the the "Dogfights" series, but you will like the episode "The First Dogfighters" that the "Dogfights" series did make. Grueling stuff, I wouldn't want to be a first world war pilot.

  • Comment removed

  • Hartman battles aren't all that impressive. Most of 352 kills were bombers and none lasted very long. His motto was get in while you had the advantage if you lost it withdrew while still on a level playing field. The Red Baron's battles would be intersting. I seen his 11 kill against a british fighter ace was very skillful. Hans-Joachim Marseille "Star of Africa" 158 kills 154 of them fighters all western planes would like very much to see some of his battles

  • Thanks for your reply. I read that Hartmann achieved most of his kills during the Nazi invasion of the USSR (a target rich environment) but I also read that he also shotdown several P 51 Mustangs (considered to be the best fighter plane of all time). If that's true, he was then a great dogfighter. I'm just curious,

  • I'm not saying was a bad dogfighter he must have had considerable skill. He never took risk where he could aviod it. He did pride himself on his mustang kills, like many other German aces. He took minable risk is all I'm saying so must of his kills would be over in 30 seconds, dive as he climb back up open up on the belly of his target and that would be it.

  • @thepunictrader thats just what a good fighter pilot does, minimum risk, maximum effect, there's no need for glamour boy heroics, just get in, hit the target, get out. The longer you mix it in a dogfight, the greater the chance of getting killed, the fighter pilots job isn't to dog fight, it is to score victories and get home so he can do it again.

  • @357Stealth

    Hartmann was the best,amongst his 352 kills there are 7 P-51 shot down over Romania and Hungary,one of them was blown up with a single 20 mm round from 10 metres.There's a nice story of a US pilot who witnessed the event,Lt. Thompson,he literally shit in their pants.They should put this story in a DF episode,a US hero shitting in their pants,hahahahahaha!!!!

  • @thepunictrader I'd hate to burst your bubble but most of the 352nd kills were not bombers.

  • now i know where Ace Combat plp got the idea for the battle of B7R

  • you for a fact that half of the allied pilots in the ETO were hung over when the Germans launched this assault

  • I think it's funny in a way that the Allies developed a legend out of this battle, just because the Allies performed so well. I think it's funny, because this kind of performance was routine to Finns and Germans on the Eastern Front.

  • Yep...

  • That's not the reason why, it's because this event is not widely known or even spoken of in history classes. Hell, many Americans don't even know who the "Flying Tigers" were.

  • Many Americans don't even know where USA is on a map of the world. ;) 1 out of 5 Americans, to be precise.

  • You shouldn't use that as a statistic since 1 out of 5 human beings in the whole world can be classified as complete idiots. Idiots can't retain information more complex than eating, shitting, sex, and killing.

  • @CheckeredDemon310

    I'm American and the "Flying Tigers" were British and American pilots who went to China to help defend against the invading Japanese forces. The discovery of the Flying Tigers by IJN/IJA and the sanctions led to their decision to bomb Pearl Harbor. Of course they don't tell us about that because we're supposed to think Pearl Harbor was unjustified, but it was actually the desired result and the Emperor played right into the trap.

  • Wunderdoob, I'm American too, and my Great Grandfather was at Pearl Harbor. I know who the Flying Tigers were, I just find it relatively sad that most people don't care much to learn of their own country's history if the means is available to them.

  • @CheckeredDemon310

    that's not part of the history they want everyone to know. Just like they don't want anyone to know how, what, why, and who is really responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It didn't happen without plenty of indirect and direct help from numerous dark sources within the United States Government, and the wars are kept going by the same people.

  • Japan and America bad very poor realations before this. War between the 2 countries was aways going to happen. 1 thing you very quickly learn from history is that the winners write history.

  • Why is history channel so patriotic to the point of showing ONLY battles when the USA or its allies win?

  • @gianlucanders Becasue this show was for an american audience haha.

  • THen why does it broadcast all over hte world? its just stupid... they treat the american pilots like if they were the best in he world.

  • Well generally speaking, even if a product was designed for a particular market, if a company sees other potential markets for their product they are going to distribute it to those markets. Persoanlly speaking i would have loved to see episodes on the Russians kicking ass in the P-39 or New Zealand Aces with the P-40, but i geuss the shows bias had cost it since they never made it past the second season.

  • There are some episodes that deem the German pilots as some of the best in the world at that time. But yeah there is a bias in this show, I've always wanted to see some of the Soviet aces showcased in this show flying Mig -3s and La-7s.

  • Oh that's right, I've NEVER seen any documentaries showcasing the Japanes kicking American asses at Pearl Harbor, the Germans running the Allies out of Arnhem, Americans slaughtering Vietnamese civilians at My Lai, or Rommel kicking ass because he was the fucking man.

  • Yep, thats sad... but as someone said 'History is written by the victorious nations'

  • I was being sarcastic.

  • i love that noise wen aircraft r going down

  • I saw this 3 weeks ago on the dutch History channel.
