You now that Germany could have won the war because they had advanced weapon such as the atom bomb and the jet to but there leader Hitler was dumb and didn't want to use em for some reason I guess he was waiting a little longer until the u.s came and stole the blue prints for the atom bomb
@mexicanos84 Actually, the Germans had no atom bomb. They didn't even have a blueprint of a working bomb. They had some plans, but according to all historical sources, the German scientists had calculated the needed amount of uranium to a lot more than what was actually needed. And, they had no nuclear reactor to produce U-235 or plutonium. So, USA didn't steel any blueprints for any atom bomb. They developed it themselves, with the help of some German scientists who had moved to USA.
not all germans were nazis during ww2, infact during ww2 there were alot german soildiers who wernt nazis. some of the german soildiers hated the nazis. infact some, seceretly tried to assassinate hitler (but failed). the first jews to die during the holocost were german. so dont think that all germans were nazis.
Sorrry but that's wrong dude. They are all helicopters, NOT autogyros. Aurogyros fly by autorotation whereby the rotors are unpowered and an engine driven propellor pushes the vehicle forward. These are true helicopters.
You are confusing the front mounted engine and cooling fan of the FW61. It has insufficient fan size for forwards propulsion.
Its scary to think that had Hitler Not tried to fight a 2 and 3 front war he could have very likily won the war he had jets he had rockets he had the the men who made to atom bomb,,but he ran out his resouce's he killed all the " undesirables" when he should have played nicey nice and got them to fight for him 6 million troops are better than 6 million dead bodies to get rid of
@misfitt58 i would like to know if holocaust really happened, i dont think he actually murdered 6 million. i want proof, because truth never fears investigation.
@henkkzzz Well, even if it had just been 4 millions? Would that have changed anything? The most horrifying thing is, that it was done on an industrial scale.
I personally have talked to people, peasants, not even Jews, who witnessed Jews be taken away and shot by the Germans. Just because they were Jews.
@MrGrimmelhausen he mentioned at that time you guys were primitive and the Nazis were waaaaaaay ahead of all of us, I dislike their goals and bad stuff they were using the tech for but man they're just amazingly good >:|
The helicopter you saw in that film is an American made helicopter made about 20 years after end of the war. some are still in use today, Am I correct?
It was used by the Loftwaffe in early WW2 for dropping supplies and getting men over mountains but stopped making them because was easily taken down by aa guns, hard to control and a really short range of fuel upon short range of distances
@Peacekeeper76 Well the Germans seemed to rely too much on super weapons. The Allies were more practical in their designs and manufacturing, thats not to say it didnt design crazy stuff and super weapons (nukes). In addition, the allies had considerably greater manufacturing capacity and resources. Their super weapons only kept them going for 2 years more really and they were fighting a losing battle from around the middle of the war.
Nubes spouting garbage, as the helo shown in Where Eagles Dare did not exist until the Korean war dolt, as was shown on M*A*S*H, frequently used as medical evacuation helos.
The Germans had several helicopters for naval use also, but Hollywood will never make a movie of that so, no American will believe it, god Forbid any read a book or do self study.
wow...and we were using gliders to extricate friendlies from remote jungle locations at the time the Germans had these...makes you wonder where we would be in the US today without the innovations of the Germans that we "stole" by offering emigration and through the spoils of war....NOT that I justify the Germans thirst for world domination in any way, but they were definitely "all in" on a mass scale.
oh, and props to (wink wink) the parts makers! That was for MrMrliamo.
every body looks at the engineering into all this class equiptment and the people that engineered it! but what i love looking into is the people that engineered the machines to engineer and produce all the parts to assemble the final project! its very eazey to hand a blue print and say this will work, now just make it! its the component supplier that really have the skill, knowelge and skill to manafucture the parts, these people never get cerdit!!!
It is more than obvious that the designs of modern or semi-modern attack helicopters like Cobra and Apache have their roots in that small frail Flettner Fl-282 'Kolibri' ...
"It is more than obvious that the designs of modern or semi-modern attack helicopters like Cobra and Apache have their roots in that small frail Flettner Fl-282 'Kolibri' ...

Attempt at sarcasm?
It's more than obvious modern supersonic fighter jets have their origins in the small frail Wright Flyer.
All technology has a beginning.
The first helicopters equipped with machine guns and bombs and capable of airlifting OTHER aircraft were the craft featured in this video.
@GR8TM4N You'd think that, being as super intelligent as you make out, the "Germans" would have won the war, but sadly, they must be as thick as fuck. They lost, again.
They lost the war, they have ugly women (known for dykes) and really make shitty, overpriced, unreliable cars that the japanese are starting to expose.
@AKABoxingFan because of my heritage i naturally am not a fan of the krauts, but according to everything i read, pre war nazi germany was the most technologically developed nation on earth at the time... they only lost because their arrogant and ignorant leaders thought they could take on 60 million british, 20 million canadian and australian, 150 million russians and 120 million americans all at the same time
The helicopter you saw in "Where Eagles Dare" was actually a modern american made helicopter first made long after war was over - first used by US army during the Korean war.
It's amazing to see the action shootages of such early helicopters. But also astonishing is why on both sides, the helicopters did not get the interest and the use by the armies which they deserved. Flettner Kolibri, Focke-Achgelis 223 and Sikorsky R4 they were already reliable vehicles but very rare in action in WW2. It was the Korean War in which helis got their break-through.
@watcher05er, The one that looks like it has only one rotor actually has two. They are set close together, are inter-meshed and counter rotating. That's why there is not a tail rotor to counteract the torque. Kaman/ KMax helicopters have a modern one that's called an Aerial Truck used for heavy lifting.
The Germans were always ahead of everyone else it seems.
Amazed me! US always brags that they invented helicopter. Here is the proof ! One of the helicopters only has one rotor and flies wonderfully; That puzzles me...I always know that you need a rotor at the tail or the whole thing will spin out of control. (Unless you have 2 rotors that rotate at opposite direction)
The last comment from agwhitaker is actually correct but I believe the focus of the video is to show the advanced engineering of Germany in WW2.
@agwhitaker actually I dont think a dozen of mustangs can beat a ME262 if the pilot of the ME262 is skilled,the problem was that the ME262 at the end of the war didnt have airstrips to take off because of the daily bombing raids
Some of the most skilled fighter pilots of the war were the African American Tuskegee Airmen of the 332 fighter group. They managed to shoot down a number of Me262's in air to air combat using P-51s.
The Tuskeegee pilots were the elite of the Allied fighter forces with far higher average intelligence and qualifications than normal pilots
@Grommo they didn't really shot down "a number" of me262s,if I recall correctly tuskegee pilots shot down a couple of german jet fighters over berlin.Those pilots were busy attacking american bombers and couldn't get in a fight against the mustangs before they were shot down.It was the first ever recorded kill of a jet fighter,but I think the only instance a standard engine plane shot down a jet fighter in a dogfight was in the early vietnam war when a pilot of an A1(I think) shot down a mig17
fyi..probably the best overall tank in ww2 was british,the firefly:they took a cheap sherman chassis and somehow managed to install a "17 lb" gun that essentially was an 88 and could kill a Tiger. German prowess tends to have this strange mystique to many people;frustrated nazis maybe?
I am literally.. sitting here in awe. I had no idea until right now that they had choppers in WW2... I always thought the footage of those things was more recent (50's etc) holy crap.. they look scary as hell to fly.
@336Torana - The Flettner 282 was far easier to fly then modern helicopters. A housewife was taught to fly one in just 3 hours. As can be seen by the film clip they could be flown "hand off" at some speeds. Power to lift ratio and manoevribility is superior to some modern helicopters due to the intermeshing rotor design. A mock combat with a FW190 failed to get the Flettner 282 in it's sights for a kill. Several Flettner 282 were used in the Battle of Berlin in 1945 for artillery spotting.
this just goes to show how the nazi's where complete lunitics when it came to decision making... fucking idiots could've crossed the English Strait and won the war in Europe... but then again who am I to complain lol
Great clips, amazing they weren't used more during the war. Fascinating the techological developments that the Germans made in WW2. Brilliant weapons, aircraft etc..
@Grommo True, but they were never seen in action during the war - most helicopters were destroyed by allied bombings.
By time helicopters were finally made into production the war was nearly over and allied armies captured some helicopters and plans which used by both Russians and Americans.
The first helicopters seen in action was during the Korean war or so I thought?
@DavBlc7 helis were first used on a large military scale in korea... helis were used in ww2 by germany before march 45, but only as prototypes and on very few occasions in combat
@saxonsiphon germany in ww2 were working on some impressive technology for the time, such as rockets jets and helicopters, and most frightning of all the atom bomb... apperently they were pretty close too
wow. im suprised to read the comments and see that people actually know what theyre talking about. i expected a bunch of 9 year olds saying "is that a pave low from mw2?" and im not being sarcastic. kudos, guys.
Upon the war's conclusion, Anton Flettner was held in the "Dustbin" interrogation camp at Kransberg Castle. According to his partner, Dr. Kurt Hohenemser, Anton Flettner was of "the first regular German immigrants after the war".
no the STG-44 is the very first Assault Rifle. The AK-47 isn´t a copy of them but inspired M. Kalashnikov in construct ing a russian Assault Rifle. Its similar in shape and design but it is NOT a copie
@101andrewj read my coment again! the AK-47 is not a MP but an assault rifle as the STG-44. The AK-47 is not a copie of the STG-44. They have fundamental differences in mechanics. But befor you attack me in such stupid way...read better!
the Russians put them in thier place. Yes the nazis were tacticly "superior" than the Soviet Army but up to 1989 the Soviet army assfucked the germans for thier crimes.
"Noteworthy was its amazing lifting efficiency: it was capable of lifting 16 lbs per horsepower - a figure not attained to this day by any of the modern helicopters."
possibly, but the important thing is how much load can ascent in relation to the weight of the helicopter. Like the Germans helicopteror all their technology was very advanced but it is not comparable with current technology.
The first helicopters could only up two men. They not useful in combat.
The engine in the Bell 47 helicopter was actually a piston engine too.
No variant of the Bell 47b used a gasturbine engine whatsoever except for a single italian experimental knockoff copy of the 47 from 1971: the Agusta A.115 was tried.
and Flettner, along with many other aviation pioneers, moved to the United States, where he started Flettner Aircraft Corporation, which developed helicopters for the U.S. military.
@tocamelaotravezsan You lie they had not, the first turbine powered planes where constructed in Germany, at that time the USA could only dream about the concept.
Because they had too few of them, and it was too late for Nazi Germany. Even with new advanced weaponry that was rolling out of assembly lines, couldn`t make it in time to change anything.
@goodstuffbunny The Nazi's had fully developed woking prototypes of most of their super weapons as early as 1939 & 40. Jets, Tiger Tanks, Panzerfaust, Wire Guided Missle's. They were arrogant enough to believe that they wouldn't need them. Thank God! Imagine if they had shown up during the Battle of Britain with Messer Jet's. Would've been all over way too quickly. Imagine those single seater copter's showing up over Patton's or Monty's Sherman's firing a barrage of multiple Panzerfaust's.
@narutofightindreamer i dont agree with that part that the "kolibri" choppers could carry a few panzerfaust´s with em. they where lightweight and not able to carry alot "cargo/weaps" with em - to weak engine in the erliest versions of it. but i agree we better should thank that hitler didnt brought all those other weaps into the battle (at least not in that ammount which was necessary to do some SERIOUS DAMAGE to the alies)
thats a saying a russian workmate toled me. They admired the german engeneering. Means the russians thought the germans were capable of inventing .. what ever ... even a monkey- its from the time of tzar peter the great
i wouldn't mind if they took over the world and if i spoke german by now, but their leader was just a plain wacko lol that jew extermination was just just unacceptable :(
Europes liberation and the D-Day commemorations themselves would have been impossible if millions of Russian soldiers had not paid for this with their blood and their lives in battle against the best units of Hitlers Wehrmacht; if our army — in the words of Churchill — had not broken the back of Hitlers war machine.
I have never seen this footage before but i knew that they did have helicopter, really good footage. Just think if they had a leader different from Hilter what would have happened, thank heavens they had Hilter.
@crankemuptang1234 Spitfire was american? I though it was british. Because british used it a lot more then US. Ha yeah and Garand first idea was Canadian :D
Yeah, well back then you really can't tell for sure, Because the allies were the "Good Guys" Alot was open and well documented. But because Germany was more secretive. eg: Third Reich ext, You can't tell for sure who created what. Weather Germany,Poland, Italy ext might of created a thing that is supposedly German.
if the germans had this technology, why didn't they use it in mass numbers? That shot where they had 7 of them in formation.... makes no sense, why not do ground attacks, armor them up! I had no idea they had this technology!
They had the slight problem of having the bejeesus bombed out of the factories. They had orders for thousands of them but that's not much help when the construction jigs have been blown to smithereens
the germans had, with no doubt, the most powerful and advanced forces in ww2 (their navy was a little weaker though). it was in general the mistakes that the leadership made and the fact that they were hugely outnumbered which led to their defeat.
You now that Germany could have won the war because they had advanced weapon such as the atom bomb and the jet to but there leader Hitler was dumb and didn't want to use em for some reason I guess he was waiting a little longer until the u.s came and stole the blue prints for the atom bomb

@DavBlc7 helis were first used on a large military scale in korea... helis were used in ww2 by germany before march 45, but only as prototypes and on very few occasions in combat

Upon the war's conclusion, Anton Flettner was held in the "Dustbin" interrogation camp at Kransberg Castle. According to his partner, Dr. Kurt Hohenemser, Anton Flettner was of "the first regular German immigrants after the war".

Bell was a helicopter turbine engine, the Germans had a piston engine. The bell was better

Explain how turbine engine is better than piston engine.
pashka1988 2 years ago
turbine engine has a power to weight ratio greater than the piston engine, them it can lift more cargo.
tocamelaotravezsan 2 years ago
"Noteworthy was its amazing lifting efficiency: it was capable of lifting 16 lbs per horsepower - a figure not attained to this day by any of the modern helicopters."
You did not read this throughout, did you?
pashka1988 2 years ago
possibly, but the important thing is how much load can ascent in relation to the weight of the helicopter. Like the Germans helicopteror all their technology was very advanced but it is not comparable with current technology.
The first helicopters could only up two men. They not useful in combat.
tocamelaotravezsan 2 years ago
No Allied helicopter had a turbine engine until the 1950s.
The first turbine helicopter was the kaman 225 from 1951 and if you examine a photo you will see it takes its configuration from the Flettner 282.
The German Fa 223 was used in combat and could carry 16 people or airlift a whole other aircraft!

The engine in the Bell 47 helicopter was actually a piston engine too.
No variant of the Bell 47b used a gasturbine engine whatsoever except for a single italian experimental knockoff copy of the 47 from 1971: the Agusta A.115 was tried.

and Flettner, along with many other aviation pioneers, moved to the United States, where he started Flettner Aircraft Corporation, which developed helicopters for the U.S. military.

Because they had too few of them, and it was too late for Nazi Germany. Even with new advanced weaponry that was rolling out of assembly lines, couldn`t make it in time to change anything.
pashka1988 2 years ago
@goodstuffbunny The Nazi's had fully developed woking prototypes of most of their super weapons as early as 1939 & 40. Jets, Tiger Tanks, Panzerfaust, Wire Guided Missle's. They were arrogant enough to believe that they wouldn't need them. Thank God! Imagine if they had shown up during the Battle of Britain with Messer Jet's. Would've been all over way too quickly. Imagine those single seater copter's showing up over Patton's or Monty's Sherman's firing a barrage of multiple Panzerfaust's.

@narutofightindreamer i dont agree with that part that the "kolibri" choppers could carry a few panzerfaust´s with em. they where lightweight and not able to carry alot "cargo/weaps" with em - to weak engine in the erliest versions of it. but i agree we better should thank that hitler didnt brought all those other weaps into the battle (at least not in that ammount which was necessary to do some SERIOUS DAMAGE to the alies)

De La Cierva invented the autogyro.
Although rotary winged, autogyros are not helicopters and cannot hover as the main rotor is not engine powered. it free autorotates or "windmills".
De La Cierva's work with Autogyros greatly contributed to the development of helicopters.

Europes liberation and the D-Day commemorations themselves would have been impossible if millions of Russian soldiers had not paid for this with their blood and their lives in battle against the best units of Hitlers Wehrmacht; if our army — in the words of Churchill — had not broken the back of Hitlers war machine.

the germans had, with no doubt, the most powerful and advanced forces in ww2 (their navy was a little weaker though). it was in general the mistakes that the leadership made and the fact that they were hugely outnumbered which led to their defeat.
