German Technology is what built N.A.S.A. The main Science Engineer that spearheaded the creation of NASA was Dr Werner Von Braun, who was a former Nazi scientist and SS Officer that surrendered to the US after the war.
It Operation Barbarossa never happened and Hitler remained allies with Stalin they would have no doubt win the war. If Mussolini kept things in check it wouldn't have slown Hitler down either. In the end it was the Soviets with a massive force and advanced weaponry. T-55's were already made in 1945. All America had at the time as far as a heavy tank was the Perishing. Then again, once the Luftwaffe lost its superiority the Wehrmacht was essentially doomed to air raids.
To close this, its obviously if u read history books that Hitlers main target was always in the east. If he never went into East, i'm pretty sure Brtiain fell earlier or later. The BOB was a blame as he bombed and the RAF could recover. Also, not to forget, the UK had the whole commonwealth and supplies from the USA behind them. However they struggled pretty much already. Don't let us think what happened without all that support, but Hitler just wanted to much in a to short time, so he failed.
what was needed was aluminum for the jets which they had none, so spray was used , a poor substitute, and other metals vitally needed for overall unhampered production and testing just wasnt there, Perhaps had it been pushed at the conception things would be different today, They sure as hell couldnt have been worse.
innovative and glorious as this aircraft was, i think it actually sped up germany's defeat. it wasted valuable resources which could be spent on developing much more fw190s.
@mgessler Hitler can just save millions of people by evacuating them but he choose not too and use them a shield.. Thats why theres a lot of civilian died... Hitler is a selfish bastard he even killed hes own family, a fucking psychopath...
.well Beavis..the Russians and the other allies are certainly never given their fair due in the popular American view of things..but the U.S. daylight bombing and the British and Canadian night bombing (yes Canada had about 1000 bombers tied to the RAF) of Germany was a major factor in the defeat of hitler...the Russians had tanks and armies but they relied almost entirely on the western allies to bomb Germany's heartland..

@DeBalaguer He doenst 'try to leave a wounded B17, he is going too fast and either has to pull over or under the plane, thats simply the reason, not for any other reason.
Had Hitler won the WW2 there would have been no economic crisis and he would have eradicated the reign of Masons and Zionists around the world. My beloved country, Greece wouldn't have filled with illegal Asian and African immigrants cause he would have already exterminated those races.
@Xiolablu3 Its true, Hitler was incompetent in his decisions, we all know if he played his cards right and didn't start bombing London but continuing to attack the RAF airfields the UK would've been a pretty easy run in the first try. By the way even after the battle of britain the Luftwaffe was still much larger as the RAF. Its obviously his first interest has been always Russia, getting the victory there after Britain would've surrendered anyway. However he fucked it up and thats how it is.
@player4life1987 No, the RAFs next plan was to pull the fighters further North so that it would be harder for the Germans to bomb the airfields without crippling losses. But this was only if things reached crisis point. Also AFTER the air superiority they would have to attack across the channel in the face of the worlds largest Navy, in small barges, It would have been a masscre. We dont 'all know', 'You think'.
@Xiolablu3 The RAF was at its breaking point, the Nazis had Denmark, Norway, Northern France to launch Raids on Britain. So moving further north wouldn't have had such a big effect, i think. Once if the RAF would've had runned out the Nazis would've won like with long range bombers etc, the big Navy wouldn't be so helpful if almost all cities in the UK would been totally in Ruins. On the other side the Royal Navy had its problems with the Nazi U-Boats already, also the supplies. Even "you" know.
@player4life1987 The Battle of Britain occured in summer 1940, long before Hitler invaded Russia. Even with all its might the LW could not gain air superiorty.They failed at the FIRST stage, of a multi stage plan. The Luftwaffe could never have destroyed a city in 1940. It took the combined might of RAF and USAAF each using 1000 (2000)HEAVY bombers, plus the correct weather to start a firestorm to do the damage in Dresden and Hamburg. I disagree with your summary, lets just leave it at that. :)
@Xiolablu3 I disagree, you don't look behind the british/ally propaganda. At first, i mentioned that before, LW failed at its first stage, true. But what i mean if Hitler would have attacked Russia for example 2 years later, so he would have continued the BOB, remember, the Luftwaffe wasn't destroyed and still had more planes as the RAF after the fail at BOB. So we just can't really know, the biggest problem for the Luftwaffe was still the Radar, with a stealth Britain - bye - bye, i think.
@Xiolablu3 Of course the Long Range bombers would just been ready after years, i know the LW couldn't do such raids in 1940, with stukas, lol. But they already had plans for Long Range bombers in that time just, as well for a stealth plane.
@Xiolablu3 actually the LW didnt mange to destroy a city in Britain, but that doesnt mean they couldt, since they did some years before destroy the city of Guernica in the spanish civil war, completely obliterated by bombers alone. Still allied 4 engined bombers were far more advanced than the twin engined heinkels
@palfcadia actoully when they went to war they germans agreed to never level bomb again and so did the allies (a.k.a why the germans kept makeing dive bombers) but the brits backed out of that
@pauls317 They Never took on the US... The US took on the Germans, by the time the US had stepped in France the Germans were on the back foot in Russia. Not to mention there was 6 times the amount of troops on the Eastern Front then on the Western.
@ThatAdelaideGuy the Lend-Lease program the U.S. gave 11.3 billion of weapons to Russia. 2,000 locomotives and 11,000 railcars, hundreds of thousands of U.S.-made trucks, telephone cable, aluminum, canned rations, clothing and 18,700 aircraft were supplied under Lend-Lease.Hitler cited the Lend-Lease program when "HE" declared war on the U.S. on 11 December 1941. And the US could have won the war without Russia and not just because we had the nuclear weapons.
You are Correct were it just the UK and Sovjet-Union the germans would have likely won, the same counts when it would have been only the UK and the US or only the US and the Sovjet-Union, it took the combined effort of these 3 big nations, if 1 of them would have pulled out or even worse sided with the germans god knows what would have happened, imagine the UK joining Germany in it's war against the Sovjet-Union.
@Dreachon If Canada stayed neutral like the US until 1942, instead of declaring war one week after the start, German prolly would have won. It was a very VERY close run thing as it was. P.S. There is good evidence that Hitler basically knew he was fucked after they failed to take Moscow/knock the SU out in '41.
@wildhippy Do you wanna make me laugh? Canada had 11 million people in those years, so with its probably 200 thousand soldiers i guess thats kinda like Denmark would've joined the war instead on Canada's side. The main leading nations were of course the Soviets then UK and Commonwealth (but all together with US support).
@Dreachon The Germans failed at the first hurdle to take the UK when it stood alone, so how Germany 'would have won' is beyond me. They TRIED to take the UK in 1940 and failed to gain air-superiority which was absolutely essential for a landing operation.
And guess what would happen in germany had managed to defeat the soviet union in 42 or if the soviet union through some starnge act of faith joined with germany, Hitler didn't fully continue with the invasion of the UK because he wanted to attack the Soviet -Union if he didn't have to go with that more resources could have been spent on bombing the UK.
The RAF were at it's breaking point, it was all a matter of time.
@Dreachon Yes, the RAF were under pressure, but they could always have moved their fighter airfields north and out of way of the bombers. Also the Germans DIDNT KNOW that the RAF were at its breaking point, they started to bomb london instead in the hope it would 'break the will'.
The Germans tried to invade the UK and failed at the first hurdle, once they started to bomb london they had lost, suck it up and forget the 'what ifs'.
@Xiolablu3 Good points. Germany could not have won the Battle of Britain; Hitler was trying to push Britain into a neutral position. Even had Germany not invaded the Soviet Union they would have ultimately been defeated by Allied bombing or/or nuclear weapons.
@BillDFC Another mistakes that the german do, is trusting the neighboring military who just surrender to Russia and American.. Its a total failure.. But we all know US alone will owned the Germans :).. Specially if the US dont need to travel coast to coast to invade them..
Very nice video, but is really a gun camera footage from a 262 ? The rate of approach to the B-17 is rather slow, and I led me to believe, they did not slow down a lot, one reason being that the powered turrets could not follew them, another, the P-51.
It was an oustanding achievement on the part of the Germans, to produce this sophisticated fighter.
If the ME262 was a fighter, & not held back by Hitler to be a bomber, things may have been different. Especially if Hitler had developed the ME262 to be a night fighter aswell! Unfortunately, or fortunately, as is the case. Hitler made some daft decisions. This is just one!
@martynpank Even if Hitler hadn't held it back as he did, the 262 was very experimental and probably wouldn't have gone into production that much sooner due to kinds being worked out.
@fallschirmjager1 Yes & no! Hitler (Not really Hitler) was working on all sorts of aircraft. But, I bet that the 262 was at the top of the list! If the Weirmacht (Can't spell) developed all the aircraft that they planned. We would now be German!!!
ME262 was credited as being the first fully operational jet fighter...Hitler might well have stopped daylight bombing raids into Germany had he mass-produced these to shoot down the propeller-driven B-series Allied bombers and their slower fighter escorts.
yep he couldv but it was too late when they came into action. ie Germany was in the preverbial hole too deep to mass produce the 262 like the Focke Wulf or the 109
Agreed, they were low on time and resources. It could have bought them time, but they would have needed to end with something big, like nuclear, in order to truly win. The Russians were at their door (the ones who in fact beat the Nazis/Germany, if the truth be told) and their allies were disappearing in defeat, like Italy. It went as it did because it was almost impossible to turn the tide at that point.
they way i see it when the US and other allies saw the Russia completly and uterly demolish the Nazi Germany on the eastern front the US focused on the pacific war
@beaviselectron The Germans, especially Hitler, beat themselves and made a grave strategic blunder in retrospect when Operation Barbarossa was launched...They had Britain on the ropes and had they pursued their objective in the West with the resources used for Barbarossa minus what may have been needed to keep Stalin from thinking about attacking, might have succeeded in finishing them off...
@beaviselectron thank god someone knows what their talking about.. Russia stopped Nazi Germany- and started to push them back. The contribution of ALL allies during WW2- no matter how small or insignificant, helped save lives- and that's all that matters
@unkowndrunkenfrankli You are right, to many got no idea about WW2, but the BOB reality is often hidden by allied propaganda, some British even think it as main turning point, but of course it wasn't. Of course it was Moscow and Stalingrad. However, as a communist its the best what ever could happen for me, the mighty Soviet Union showed Hitler the only way he could go, without the most mighty army of its time, the Red Army, we might live all in a regime of slavery after Hitlers Ideologie ))))
@beaviselectron Not to mention that the US was very close to completing its atomic bombs anyways. Due to the close proximity from which the US could've launched atomic bomb drops I doubt having a couple ME 262s in the air would've made a difference.
@nickys34 No Americas industrial might helped no denying that but it was the Russians that did most of the hard work in WW2. Not to take away from all countries that did there part tho.
@ninjacouncilguild Hard work is useless without the right tools as the Germans found out when their everything was bombed to hell. And their everything was bombed to hell thanks to American industrial might.
@nickys34 Are you all out of your minds? Following a leader like Hitler beat Germany. What beat the Nazis was all of the mentioned together (and more). If it would've just been the Russian, Brits or Americans, you'd probably be speaking my language now. Btw.: my English is still better than yours. At least I know how to use there/their/they're, your/you're and then/than....
@JBehnen Why are Krauts so arrogant? We should have asked Stalin to send you all to the gulags to teach you some humility. And we alone could have creamed you and there was no chance in hell that the Third Reich could have conquered America. Keep dreaming.
@nickys34 First of all: don't be thinking I'm not happy it ended the way it did. And what makes you think the germans wanted to conquer the US? Nobody ever said something like that; that's dreaming on your side right there... And I'm still sticking to my point, if there wouldn't have been Allies, there would have been no end to that. Not in France, not in Poland and not in the middle east.
@JBehnen You said you would probably be speaking my language now meaning the NAZIs could have conquered America. So you said it. And again America could have creamed the NAZIs without the Allies and liberated all those places alone. It is just that it was much easier to partner up. Everyone gives too much credit to the NAZIs but the NAZIs were not as great as proclaimed. I mean, they could not even beat the Russians one on one.
@beavis The mistake Hitler made in insisting the Me-262 be a bomber was insignificant due to the fact that Germany was unable to produce it in any significant numbers. Germany no longer had the resources or manufacturing capability to turn this plane into a real player in the war. This was largely due to other poor strategic decisions Hitler made previously, such as investing so much into the V-1 and V-2 rockets (which had zero military value) and invading Russia before securing western Europe.
German Technology is what built N.A.S.A. The main Science Engineer that spearheaded the creation of NASA was Dr Werner Von Braun, who was a former Nazi scientist and SS Officer that surrendered to the US after the war.

@beaviselectron The Germans, especially Hitler, beat themselves and made a grave strategic blunder in retrospect when Operation Barbarossa was launched...They had Britain on the ropes and had they pursued their objective in the West with the resources used for Barbarossa minus what may have been needed to keep Stalin from thinking about attacking, might have succeeded in finishing them off...

@beaviselectron thank god someone knows what their talking about.. Russia stopped Nazi Germany- and started to push them back. The contribution of ALL allies during WW2- no matter how small or insignificant, helped save lives- and that's all that matters

@unkowndrunkenfrankli You are right, to many got no idea about WW2, but the BOB reality is often hidden by allied propaganda, some British even think it as main turning point, but of course it wasn't. Of course it was Moscow and Stalingrad. However, as a communist its the best what ever could happen for me, the mighty Soviet Union showed Hitler the only way he could go, without the most mighty army of its time, the Red Army, we might live all in a regime of slavery after Hitlers Ideologie ))))

Ah, and the big honourful Red Army brought freedom to everybody, ehh?
They were not only raping the Germans but all other females (even allieds) they could find?
Freedom they brought to the Baltics,... or Chechnya?
Communism is a system for murderers and criminals, it is as dead as dead as nazism!!!!!

@Bromberg39 and how exacly you know who they raped?

@Nikitos253
By hospital statistics, serious historians and narrations of victims.
It ´s a part of communistic warfare (WWII, Baltics, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia,.....).
When the glorious Red Army "liberated" Berlin over 200.000 females, from 8 to 80 years, reported rape and asked for aid in hospitals.
In the first week of "liberation"........
And I don´t talk about the hundreds of women who didn´t report but committed suicide, because they could not live with this shame!

@Nikitos253 in one thing i will disagree with you its not a part of communistic warfare....

@beaviselectron Not to mention that the US was very close to completing its atomic bombs anyways. Due to the close proximity from which the US could've launched atomic bomb drops I doubt having a couple ME 262s in the air would've made a difference.

@nickys34 No Americas industrial might helped no denying that but it was the Russians that did most of the hard work in WW2. Not to take away from all countries that did there part tho.

@ninjacouncilguild Hard work is useless without the right tools as the Germans found out when their everything was bombed to hell. And their everything was bombed to hell thanks to American industrial might.

@nickys34 Are you all out of your minds? Following a leader like Hitler beat Germany. What beat the Nazis was all of the mentioned together (and more). If it would've just been the Russian, Brits or Americans, you'd probably be speaking my language now. Btw.: my English is still better than yours. At least I know how to use there/their/they're, your/you're and then/than....

@JBehnen Why are Krauts so arrogant? We should have asked Stalin to send you all to the gulags to teach you some humility. And we alone could have creamed you and there was no chance in hell that the Third Reich could have conquered America. Keep dreaming.

@nickys34 First of all: don't be thinking I'm not happy it ended the way it did. And what makes you think the germans wanted to conquer the US? Nobody ever said something like that; that's dreaming on your side right there... And I'm still sticking to my point, if there wouldn't have been Allies, there would have been no end to that. Not in France, not in Poland and not in the middle east.
JBehnen 2 weeks ago
@JBehnen You said you would probably be speaking my language now meaning the NAZIs could have conquered America. So you said it. And again America could have creamed the NAZIs without the Allies and liberated all those places alone. It is just that it was much easier to partner up. Everyone gives too much credit to the NAZIs but the NAZIs were not as great as proclaimed. I mean, they could not even beat the Russians one on one.

Wouldn't have made any difference. The Allies were already on the continent and the Soviets were unstoppable.

@beavis The mistake Hitler made in insisting the Me-262 be a bomber was insignificant due to the fact that Germany was unable to produce it in any significant numbers. Germany no longer had the resources or manufacturing capability to turn this plane into a real player in the war. This was largely due to other poor strategic decisions Hitler made previously, such as investing so much into the V-1 and V-2 rockets (which had zero military value) and invading Russia before securing western Europe.
