  • The "radar" is a sound gathering device that could make aircraft formations heard while still 5-10 minutes out, depending on weather conditions. Simple and effective but was outdated fast due to increasing plane speeds and altitudes.

  • For ztruthserum:

    this is a propaganda movie like has been made from Americans and German thousand during the 2ww. Your comment it's very stupid and also offensive towards Italian.

    That doesn't mean all of them were bloodthirsty monsters. Some, like Bittrich, were real knights, in the noble sense of the word.

    "if it is wrong to kill kids, it is wrong from either side"

    I agree 100 %.

    "Stand in the boots of a SS man who had to kill"

    Well, many of them, at least in the first years of the war, were ideologically prepared and had little to no remorse.

  • @Briselance Cool...Stand in the boots of a SS man who had to kill...

  • @Briselance That's debatable and anyway..I did not say you were denying it, I just said you should kill a kid and tell him that you are doing it because his father (was it really?) killed kids in the UK). I would still struggle to kill kids on the basis that an adult has killed our kids. Furthermore, if it is wrong to kill kids, it is wrong from either side. If I find it repulsing to crack someone's head, I will still find it repulsing after someone did it to a person I love. I would puke!

  • @marcobagut

    Besides, imagine yourself stading in the boots of a pilot or crew member of the U.S.A.F. or, better, the R.A.F. Imagine some of your friends and relatives have died of the bombings of London, Liverpool or Glasgow. I doubt you'd have any kind of pity for the people of the German or Japanese cities you'd be ordered to bomb.

  • @marcobagut

    What do you mean, mate ? I don't say the R.A.F., U.S.A.A.C./U.S.A.F. and allies didn't bomb cities but, frankly, do you have the idea of who took the most of civilian casualties during this war ? The allies.

  • @koolki1000

    Maybe. After all, a chopper is just another flying machine with an engine. So basically, this sound detector could work too. Problem is that it can work only in good weather and, in my guess, to detect small numbers of airplanes. A too big formation, say, like 20 or 30 planes, would be too much ; like a server flooding. Sort of.

    Not to mention the possible vulnerability of the system to the noises of the battlefield (tanks, gunfires, explosions, etc.)

  • @MsSloppyseconds

    Heh :-) I know that one. I read it once about French 2nd WW tanks. That makes me double-"annoyed", 'cause I'm freaking half-French, half-Italian. ^^

  • @Briselance ok...Explain that to the children that died...

  • 2:19, poor dog :(
