Hanna Reitsch - Aviator - Test Pilot - Forgotten Legend

[shortist2003]

The Allies did not hang Hanna by the neck until dead?  Amazing.

[AWolfRampant]

@shortist2003 how kosher of you.

[shortist2003]

@AWolfRampant  I meant that sarcastically.

[staples1962]

Rockets,Jet aircraft, the new U-boats that could stay under water for weeks & were 6 times faster. 1 yr. later this world would have been under the Swaastika. The world would be a better place if you were white, that a fact.

[fluffy1931]

@staples1962 lol,..and unicorns.

[staples1962]

over 128 enemy tanks,trucks,antiaircraft. I'm very proud of the SS. Not the concentration SS the & the 4th SS Polizei there the ones who brought the name of the SS with such evils. The Waffen SS was the most elite fighting force the world will ever know. Even our country copies 90% of the way & weapons of the Waffen SS ask anybody who has served in the U.S. Army & Marine we even use Blizkeig to attack Bagdad in 3 days. Germany was out # 158 allies to 7 axis & look what came from Germany moon

[fluffy1931]

@staples1962 lol,..Pure rubbish dude. If you would like to compare 21st century warfare with 20th century warfare. Of the 322 German Army and SS divisions extant in Nov 1943, only 52 were armored or motorized. Of the Nov 1944 total of 264 combat divisions, only 42 were armored or motorized. The great bulk of the German combat strength-the old-type infantry divisions-marched into battle on foot, with their weapons and supply trains propelled almost entirely by four-legged horsepower.

[AWolfRampant]

@staples1962 why not be proud of the Waffen SS the first Pan European Army in which the non-Germans outnumbered the Germans. The men of SS Wallonie and SS Charlemagne fought like tigers not for Germany but for Europe. Men Like Henri Fenet (who was awarded both the Croix De Guerre & The Knights Cross) and Leon Degrelle. Men who had already won back their country in the eyes of Adolf Hitler and the Reich. Henri Fenet said his only regret was that he hadn't involved himself earlier.

[staples1962]

Then he meet my mother in Germany in the state of Baveria next to the Alps. Alot of my German relatives fought for the Fatherland in the Wermacht & 2 in the Totenkopf SS & the 6th SS panzer which both fought on the Eastern Front along with the Wermacht & Luftwaffee. My Uncle Werner died in the Death Heads Div. He Commanded a Panther & my Uncle Sepp survive because he was sent to stop the Americans or if capture by the Communist he would have been shot on the spot. Between them they destoryed

[staples1962]

Sorry for calling you a Russian, My father fought for America in the Navy in his destoryer the U.S.S. MORRISON was sunk on picket duty off of okinawa by 2 Kamakazee Zero's & 2 Kamakazee floatplanes. Look it up Charles H. Staples he was 17 half of his crew were dead in 10 minutes & the ship sunk even those it was awarded7 Battle Stars, A Presidental Cital. Thats when he said screw the Navy join the Army a copy yrs later & was sent to the Korean war which he said was the coldest place on earth-50

What a great video, What a Great Girl,,,What a Great Pilot... Unbelievable...

Thank You for posting this...

[pedowife4kids]

Das war wirklich noch eine emanzipierte Frau! Nicht dieses häßliche alte Weib in Köln, welches nicht einmal einer Verona Pooth Paroli bieten kann!

[altooname]

One gutsy woman. When Hitler was in his final days in his bunker, she was on standby with a Storch to fly him out of Berlin, but obviously he planned otherwise.

[c00lwind]

The title "Forgotten legend" is obviously wrong. Hanna is on all aviation books, and her own book "flying is my life" is incredible. Even in our gliding club in Italy there are pictures of her, and autographs kept under glass. A real legend, never forgotten.

[BenAliGtor]

Probably the only person in the entire world who could say that they dined with Adolf Hitler in the Fuhrerbunker, and John F. Kennedy at the White House. Truly an amazing individual in so many ways.

[izelxx1]

Despite her political views it is hard not to admire her for her skills and abilities and she did lots of interesting things after the war. She started a flight school in Africa or so I heard!

[bootsandsaddles]

What a fantastic pilot.

[clintonearlwalker]

And well forgotten as far as I'm concerned. "Even our great army has gone soft. Soldiers wear beards and question orders. I am not ashamed to say I believed in National Socialism. I still wear the Iron Cross with diamonds Hitler gave me. But today in all Germany you can't find a single person who voted Adolf Hitler into power... Many Germans feel guilty about the war. But they don't explain the real guilt we share—that we lost.[11]" Hanna Reitsch-Wikipedia

(READ BOTTOM FIRST )

Now when I see helicopter in the air now,It's part of me flying in the aura of my grand father .

[cyranoff]

9READ BOTTOM FIRST ) .... He escaped Stalin's murdery in 1926 with his family and stayed in France untill 1937.When came back for a visit in Estonia in 1937,NKVD took him in jail for 18 years.During this time ,Sikorsky got the benefice of my grand father search in USA.But he escaped again in 1958 with the help of french consulate,returned home and found a 19 y.o son he never knew.Imagine my grd mother surprise.In the 80's he died in Australia.He always been followed by KGB until his death...

[cyranoff]

In the 20's my ukrenian grd father was a bright engeneer.He finished his degree in Kiev university with an other bright man : "Igor Sikorsky".Both friends were working on a specific mechanism for helicopter.At the end of 1925,he wrote the final diagram of back tail stabilisation device where all helicopters use now with single propeller.

(to be contnued...)

[szaki]

Was she a lesbian like Amelia Earhart?

Usually woman achievers are!

of FRAU HARBISSINA in the Austin Powers are based on the image of Hanna Reitsch the leather clad lesbian test pilot shown near the start of this film

[spottydog4477]

@szaki grow up sonny

[szaki]

@spottydog4477

She never got married, she had no kids, only LOVE she had is flying. Hehe!

Well, may had a relationship with von Greim, but no proof if it was sexual!

[staples1962]

@szaki your a fucking idiot you Russian pig

[szaki]

@staples1962

I'm not Russian, dumbo!

Many top Nazi's were gay or A sexual, like H!

They can only LOVE Da Führer!

[AWolfRampant]

@staples1962 No, szaki is just another homosexual promoting his vice. He'd rather live under the sign of the scorpion.

@AWolfRampant

Uh!

Conspiracy theories!

6 billion people of the world is so stupid, 20 million Jews can take them over!

[AWolfRampant]

@szaki her lover was Robert Ritter Von Greim, who committed suicide shortly after being capture by the Allies. She had made a suicide pact with him.

"In a postscript to her death, Eric Brown, a British test pilot who had known her before the war, was surprised to receive a letter from Reitsch that same month, in which she reminisced about their shared love of flying, the letter ending with the words; "It began in the bunker, and there it shall end". Brown speculated that this may have

[AWolfRampant]

been an enigmatic reference to a suicide pact with von Greim, Reitsch's lover; they had both been given cyanide pills by Hitler while in the bunker, and Reitsch was known to have still kept hers. It is possible that she had made a pact with von Greim to follow him in committing suicide with him, albeit at a different time in order to dampen any rumours of their affair. Her death was announced shortly after Brown received this letter, which led him to wonder whether she had finally

[AWolfRampant]

carried out her side of the pact and had used the suicide pill at last; there was apparently no post-mortem carried out on her body."
