IL-2 1946 Sonderkommando "ELBE"

Sonderkommando "ELBE" was the name of a World War II Luftwaffe task force assigned to bring down Allied bombers by ramming German aircraft into the bombers to suspend allied tatical bombing for 4--6 weeks to create a significant amount of the Messerschmitt BF 262 jet fighter. Sonderkommando is literally "ramming command", and Elbe is a river that runs through Germany to the North Sea. While the Luftwaffe had a ready supply of airplanes at this point in the war, well-trained pilots and fuel were two components in short supply. Despite the grim prospects of survival of such a mission, the unit was not a true "suicide unit" in that the pilots were expected to either attempt to bail out just before colliding with the Allied aircraft, or attempt to bail out after colliding. This is unlike the Japanese kamikaze attacks, in which Japanese pilots loaded their planes up with explosives and therefore had no chance of survival.
Adding to the last ditch nature of this task force, the only mission was flown on 7 April 1945 by a sortie of 120 Bf 109s. While only 15 Allied bombers were attacked in this manner, eight were successfully destroyed.

Great vid. Even though the Luftwaffe fought on the wrong side of the war, they were very couragous. I have mad respect for the the pilots who did this. They had balls.

Ils avaient plus de chances de s'en sortir eux...

All sorts of fail. And by the way, "sonderkommando" does NOT translate as "ramming command." It's closer to "special command." Any unit referred to as "sonderkommando" is a specialized unit. Many types of things and people were "sonderkommando."

Reich fanboys are dumb as fuck.
