Is that Mozart?

@hardyharhar9 Roger that. And yeah, I know he was Austrian... The footage was silent, so I just used YouTube's "Swap Audio" feature where they come up with a list of tracks that are of the same length - there's a link to the track used right under the hit counter (lower right below the video).

Disable automatic updates  * If by "Allies" you mean "Allies of the US", you are correct. However, American pilots, planes and numbers handed the Germans' ass to them, on a platter, with a check, gratuity not included. Keep reading your history book to the chapter that covers 1944-45.

@f11at125 Actually 'Allies' of Great Britain. Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand, Russia and so were at war for nearly 3 years before America even got involved. It was not until 1943 when the 8th could get enough into the theatre. If Germany never declared war of USA, it is debateable if America would have even helped in Europe. I know the 8th Air Force did ALOT, but remember...it would have been impossible to invade Europe if 12 million Germans were not tied up on the Eastern Front.

@SkylineNation Perhaps the Germans should have hired more clever, more Jewish engineers - the sorts that came up with B's 17 & 24, and not the sort of manacle-wearing stooges that greenlit the He-111. The sorts of Jews that knew that "a lot" represented a sum total of two words.

I am pretty sure that the '17 in the last scene is either abandoned or the crew are all KIA; the ball turret isn't moving and the (German) pilot seems to have the luxury of slowly following in the 17's wake. If the tailgunner were breathing, the German might not have been.

everyone adopted the german jet tech after the war

@bazookasawaserpent it's German, you know the language English developed from, when the Angles, Saxons and Jutes went to where England (Angle-land) is now - in 800, thus making England a Germanic language. French, is basically pig Latin, as is Spanish, as those are Romantic, Latin derived languages.

@Altairw well spotted & I think he tried to pick off the tail gunner from distance & then gave him some more as he closed in- sure he was gone.. but I think he only stopped firing to avoid colliding

[SkylineNation]

Wow, what a cool comment. Sorry, I did not put a space between A and L, that would drive me crazy too. Ford and General Motors contributed to making those aircraft by the way, not the "Jews'. All I am reminding you of is that the USA did not fight the war alone or even close to it, hence the title of 'World War'. History? The Germans started falling back after the Battle of Kursk in 1943. I wont comment on Race/American Banking system either. USA+England+Canada was D Day.  Axis vs Allies

@hogiesanKenobi I agree !

[Altairw]

Probably most of the gunners were dead. I'm sure it wasnt abandoned because the landing gear comes down in the last frames (it's like a white flag for pilots) and after that the german stops shooting and leave.

the allies got raped real good, the luftwaffe admittablly had the best pilots and aces and best fighters but the least numbers, they were like the french at the 17th-18th century, kicking europe's ass with small numbers but good quality (and end up bieng outnumbered 10-1) spitfires sucked, they were very lightly armored because they wanted it to be more agile and even failed, it was'nt more agile then the ME 109 and carried weak 30. cals which proved no use in intercepting bombers (and fighters)
