Btw, not a critique but the B-17 at about 3:41 was not shot down in combat but in a post WWII missile test of the US Nike Ajax SAM! Thought that might be interesting to know...
Petr, can you that confirm that the losses of the allied aircrafts during the battle of Germany were bigger than the Luftwaffe suffered during the Battle of Britain ? Any statistic ?
a tribute for those who gave their lives during WWII, british,germans,japanese,americans,australians,chinese,french,etc...they died with glory, but just for an ideal...i want to see a president or a leader fighting in a war with his men in the battlefield and then, just then, maybe the war's of the world will come to end!
Great Video,the Song fits perfectly!! Made me almost cry! Its so sad to see those Planes crushing and to know that almost of them are dead!! I feel very sorry for everyone of them,no matter for which country they gave their lives. But thats the horrible Truth about War.Thats what you didnt see in the newsreel at their time. I hope we have no more War,its Hell.Theres nothing heroic in Battles,just suffering and Death!!
My father in law was one of the lucky ones. P-51 Mustang pilot with so much history, but never speaks of what he saw and did. A true gentleman, he always gave credit to the German pilots he fought against..
Not to this video mainly.. But i find it odd that most gun cam footage iv ever seen is Allied shooting down 109s or 190s and any axis footage is shooting bombers... Nothing suggesting anything just and odd observation... Anyway!, Well done video sir! Music was fitting
Very melodramatic to watch with the music on. Just to remember those that have given their lives just so we could have lives we know have. There is no glory in war.
If all the pilots had an ejection seat at that time, many of them have survived the war. R.I.P to all those brave. 5 * video as usual, thank you for sharing Petr.
You have to wonder what when on in the minds of those men when their planes were hit. Fear, resignation, thoughts of loved ones.....I once read where the 8th airforce lost more men in WWII then the entire Marine Corps did. Great tribute.
Great Work On The Video Petr. Seeing that footage is something that like Robin posted "makes a person very humble" knowing what those people went through & did. Another great video Petr.
@jetski3384 thanks jesse , i've realised that many many years ago,when reading books about czechoslovak crews in british r.a.f. .maybe that's why i still like to watch all ww2 planes althought i can hardly recognise spit from hurri
Incredible video, Petr! I haved loved WWII aviation since the age of 6 or 7, and just when you think you've seen all the footage there is to see, you manage to find a handfull on that vid that I have never. Well done, my friend. Been a big fan of your vids for a long time. Keep up the great work!
