  • some sound effects good some bad some pictures have a point some of them dont have any point. all in all, a very mixed up message of flying ferraris and germans at the pacfic having a picnic

  • I take every thing but "germans at the pacific having a picnic" if you watch the pictures again those you call germans having a picnic are japs. The only you could accuse of being a german or having german blood is Admiral Nimitz.

  • Ok fill me in with the history lesson I need it. What was the situation that evolved including those people and why was there a German insignia on the plane?

  • Ref. Admiral Nimitz: his grandfather karl Henrich Nimitz, three older brothers an their parents immigrated from Germany to USA in the 1840's initially the settled Charleston South Carolina. Soon afterwards with a bunch of German nationals who had purchased land in Texas they arrived in 1846 and founded a town with the name of Fredericksburg Texas His great grandfather and grandfather were merchants marines in their youth.

  • Ref. the guys you called "Germans at the Pacific having a picnic" actually were japanese air crews at Ie Shima in Aug. 19, 1945 who were transferring military japanese envoys in the way to Manila, Philippines, during the surrender negotiations with General Mac Arthur before the surrender ceremonies held on board of Missouri at Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945.

  • Ref. the planes with "German Insignia", these are japanese airplanes with a red cross as a sing of planes on a humanitarian mission when transferring the japanese military envoys from Ie Shima to Manila.
