"The remnant of the master weapon, of the master race is being blown to bits." Bet you hated hearing that Holodenier! HAHA. And I agree with Panhead 55.
"All of Germany was a military target" for criminally insane and cowardly Americans. 9/11 was a small dose of blowback, and more will come.
Hitler and Germany's soldiers fought for freedom and the human rights of the German people. But they also fought to save the world from judeo-communism and they succeeded partly. The US and Britain helped the Soviets enslave eastern Europe. The only reason the Soviets did not grab everything was Germany and Hitler.
Show some videos of your own "invincible" USAAF fighters getting blown to pieces. The Luftwaffe shot down a few thousands of those, so show it, don´t be shy.
Yes but who surrendered unconditionally after getting their arse kicked on two fronts? In war soldiers, sailors & pilots on both sides get killed, thats inevitable. It's the final outcome that counts. We all know how this war ended so stop trying to salvage whatever small victories you think the nazi's acheived, it's a waste of time.
Why are you being a freakin dick? By saying that you have dishonored ever living soul that ever fought and died in that war. It wasn't about kills or who was the better pilot, it was survival. He is providing HISTORY! If you don't like it go read Lord of the Rings. There are more videos of b17's being shot down than any German fighter or bomber. But considering your country has never aided in a major conflict I guess you wouldn't know the meaning of sacrifice.
An amazing channel bomberguy, and this was some truly amazing imagery. First time I have seen images of the Mistel combination /Beethoven Geraet in flight. It appears that we see a flight of these being broken up. Could this be imagery from attempted attacks at the bridge of Rhemagen?
I wonder whether the guys were fully aware that they were shooting at multiple tons of high explosives from up close?
hey pal, i think you got it wrong. first off how old are you anyways? how do you know what anyone was thinking or feeling back in these days? it always easy to critique something after it happens. if anything you should show "both" sides some respect no matter where you might stand on this subject.
It is interesting to me that holodenier lives in the U.S. A country he obviously hates. The irony of this is that we are far more tolerant of his Nazi hate speech that if he lived in his homeland, Germany. There he would be arrested since they now recognize what a mad man hitler was and how ignorant they were to have followed him and how Hitler so devasted their own country. The U.S. kicked Nazi ass and he can't stand it!
@markleyg Yes you're right. There are so many Germans commenting on clips like this all over YouTube that proclaim how superior the nazi military was. They are in denial that:
(a) they lost the war.
(b) they deserved to lose the war.
(c) they were not really courageous or smart. If they were they would have fought hitler instead of the allies.
Rotterdam was a civilian target by the way,it was to be bombed because the Germans couldnt break trought Dutch defences,Other cities on the list were Amsterdam and The Hague..the reason why Holland surrendered was the government was not prepared enough for a war,it was concidered treason by the Germans because we were neutral.Anyway thats all a long time ago,the Germans got their asses kicked like they deserved and all bombing attacks on cities regardless of which country did them is a war crime
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I like the part in the above video where a B-17 makes it all the home to good-ole England--but, crashes on landing and the plane with its entire crew burns up in flames. Poetic justice for the scum who deserved it. Good SHOW!
I think it was the Germans that started bombing civilians when they started bombing London after the Battle of Britain night and night killing many innocent people, so both sides did bad things just saying that America wasn't the only one. Oh and I don't have evidence gassings did happen but I'm pretty sure they did I've heard many Holocaust survivors says so unless they are all lying for some reason =\
They're also still being found in British cities such as London, Sheffield and most recently on Teeside so we're even. A large German bomb was recently found on the site of what will be the 2012 Olympics.
But it was the British who began the deliberate bombing of civilians during WW2 with the bombing of Moenchengladbach on May 11, 1940.
Get used to it. The ALLies were the worst war criminals in the history of the world until the Korean War when the UN Allies murdered at least 2 million Korean civilians with napalm.
So the bombing undertaken by the Luftwaffe prior to that date was aimed exclusively at military targets? Where are your sources to back this up? Likewise, where is your source that states the RAF deliberately targetted Moenchngladbach as a civilian population centre?
How many civilians did the Luftwaffe, SS, Gestapo and Organisation Todt (through negligence) kill? Easily in excess of 2 million. Produce internationally recognised statistics and sources for your claims.
In "Among the Dead Cities" by A. C. Grayling page 32 he wrote: "Bomber Command's first large attack on German soil occurred on the night of 11-12 May, when thierty-six Whitleys and Hampdens set off to bomb the transport links around Moenchengladbach."
Since the main German transport network had been designed primarily for military purposes, your conclusion is nothing more than a matter of opinion.
Besides, your quote is irrelevent unless you answer my first question, do you have conclusive proof that the Luftwaffe exclusively bombed military targets, prior to 11/12 May?

Americans and Brits were, and still are, criminally insane.
Still didn't answer my question about the Luftwaffe's bombing policy? Try studying the transcripts of the Nuremberg war trials when questioning Milch, Kesselring and Goering - if you can ever bring yourself to stomach the truth.
The German transport network was designed primarily for military purposes in the late C.19th, with the main networks radiating from Berlin. Anyone with an interest in the German tansport system could study the maps and come to the same conclusion.

Well, even if the German railroad networks had been designed with some military uses in mind ultimately, and in time of war--they were still "civilian" targets. Obviously, Wingdumb doesn't know the difference between a civilian target and a military target. He is "criminally insane" which we knew.
Farmers in their fields also serve the by helping feed armed forces--but, they are NOT military targets.
Learn everything at my website: "Nazi Gassings Never Happened"
Thank you for conceding my point, about the German military transport network.
However, you continue to avoid my Luftwaffe question. Did they know the difference between a civilian target, say Rotterdam and a military target?
As you have avoided questions from other posters on here, could this be because you are all attitude and no substance? Answer all the questions aimed at you on this thread and the others or prove that you are incapable of doing so by continuing to avoid them.
Rotterdam at the time of the German bombing had become a military target since there was ground fighting within the part of the city that was bombed. The ground fighting had preceded the bombing.
Wingdoss cannot understand the difference between "civilian" and "military" since he comes from a society which is criminally insane anyway.
The German railways were "civilian" until they would have been part of the ground fighting.
during WW-2 all of Germany was a military target of the RAF and the 8th AF. my dad flew with the 8th out of Polebroke, 351 Bg 911 Sq. i will not apologise for their action against the 3rd Reich. war is hell and the 3rd Reich brought the wrath of the Allies upon themselves....bockscar43!

The worst war criminals in the entire history of the world were the Americans in WW2. America murdered more than a million totally innocent civilians, mostly women and children, by deliberately "roasting" them to death with cowardly, incendiary air attacks, even using napalm and nuclear weapons. The perpetrators (Eisenhower, LeMay, Churchill, Rossevelt, etc.,) deserved to be burned alive at a stake.

Like the german Wochenschau, the "mighty eight" is a worthless war propaganda, here from the other side. They show only the losses of the enemy but not the own.
your so fucking stupid when theres a war innocent will get killed thats why war is a bad thing dumb ass but when you are attack you have no choice but to responde with force nazi killed jews to instinct them ,i think its fucking worst fuck
Compared to how many millions innocent civilians murdered by the SS, Gestapo, the Todt Organisation (through negligence) and the Luftwaffe?
You're sore because the Allies beat Germany at their own game. They started civilian bombing in WW I with Zeppelins and Gothas. But in WW II they made the mistake (as admitted by Wolfram Richthofen)of neglecting to produce heavy bombers, the Allies didn't make the same mistake.
Can I offer you an explanation of the middle part of the film which emphasises American losses? You don't have to be a historian to understand that for every plane there might be over a hundred perfectly-safe ground staff; for every GI on Omaha, probably the same ratio, never exposed to any danger.
But these were the Americans the Brits saw. They seemed like rich tourists.
After civilian bombing and so many deaths in action, Britain needed convincing that the Americans were suffering too.
If a person who'd grown up poor in the Great Depression of the 30's found themselves with a relatively impressive wage packet but very far from the comforts of home, then retail therapy would appear to be just as good a way of coping as any.
Interesting this acceptance of segregation even in wartime as seen at the beginning of the clip. Anything on the Tusakagee airmen? Sadly Poles had the same sort of experience at the end of the war. They were not allowed to fly or take part in the victory parade. This started as a political decision as the UK had recognised Russian dominance but it fostered a lot of discrimination and 'Go back to Poland' cries afterwards.
As far as I'm concerned, how the UK treated the Poles at the end of the war was a national disgrace. Every comment I've read about Polish airmen from primary sources praised their fighting spirit as sometimes being beyond belief.
This is the best Ive seen of the piggyback project. What a program of desperation!! Notice the excellent sound effects - the camera of course had no sound.
