This is every German aircraft of [music]
World War II. Fighters, bombers,
transports, recon planes, gliders, even
helicopters, over 80 machines. Some
legendary, some terrifying, some
completely insane.
First up, fighters and interceptors,
Messid BF 109. This legendary fighter
was the backbone of the German air war.
It evolved constantly throughout the
conflict. Pilots flew it on every major
front from 1939 until 1945.
Fauler Wolf Forg W 190. Known by Allied
pilots as the butcher bird. This fighter
was robust and highly potent. It was
arguably the best radial engineed
fighter of the war. It offered a crucial
performance alternative to the liquid
cooled messes. Fauly Wolfar 152 Kurt
Tank's late war masterpiece. It was
designed specifically for high alitude
interception. While incredibly fast and
sleek, only a handful ever reached
operational units before the war ended.
Messmid BF 110. This was the famous
Zura, meaning destroyer. It was
formidable in the early campaigns, but
struggled badly in the battle of
Britain. Later, it excelled as a
dedicated night fighter. Messa Mi210, a
truly troubled design intended to
replace the BF110.
It suffered severe aerodynamic
instability. Production [music] was
halted and the airframe was completely
reworked into the successful 410 and now
Messid Mi410 known as the Hornis or
Hornet. This twin engine machine solved
the stability issues of its predecessor.
It served effectively as a
reconnaissance platform and a heavy
fighter. Hine he 51 an older biplane
fighter. It saw service in the Spanish
Civil War. By the time World War II
began, it was relegated almost entirely
to advanced training roles. Messmid Mi262,
Mi262,
the Schwbe or Swallow. This was the
world's first operational turbo jet
fighter. Its speed made it nearly
invulnerable to Allied piston engine
planes. It represented a true revolution
in aviation. Hankl he 162 the extremely
desperate folk Jagger program. This jet
was designed to be built quickly and
cheaply out of nonstrategic [music]
materials. It was often flown by
inexperienced young pilots and now
Messid Mi 163 the infamous comet. It was
the only rocket powered fighter aircraft
[music] ever to see operational service.
Its speed was incredible, but handling
the volatile fuel was often more
dangerous than combat. Back in bar 349,
a radical concept known as the NATA or
ADA. This was a vertical takeoff rocket
interceptor. It was intended for a short
burst almost suicidal defense against
bomber formations. Now, this is the
Hankl he 219 known as the ooh or owl.
This was arguably the most effective
dedicated night fighter in the
Luftwaffer. It was the first German
aircraft [music] fitted with ejector
seats, Dornier Duo 335,
the extraordinary feel or arrow. This
heavy fighter had a unique pushpull
engine configuration. It was incredibly
fast, holding the distinction as the
fastest piston engineed aircraft ever
built by Germany. Next up, bombers and
attack aircraft. Junkncker's Jew 87. The
notorious Stooka dive bomber. Its
terrifying Jericho trumpet siren was a
sound of fear during the Blitz Creek
campaigns. It proved highly vulnerable
without air superiority. Junker's J88A,
the primary bomber version of the most
versatile aircraft in German service. It
was fast and adaptable. Used for level
bombing, dive bombing, and torpedo
attack. Junker's J188
known as the RAE version. This was an
intermediate development based on the
Jonkers 88. It featured a new glass nose
design and higher performance engines.
Junker's J86,
an earlier generation bomber that saw
limited use in the 1930s and early World
War II. It was famously adapted into a
specialized highaltitude reconnaissance
aircraft. Dornier do 17, the famous
flying pencil. This medium bomber relied
on its speed for survival in the early
war. Its narrow fuselage gave it a
distinct silhouette. Dornier do 215.
This was a development of the Dornier
17. It was initially planned for export
[music] but was absorbed into the
Luftwaffer for crucial reconnaissance
tasks. Now this is the Dornier DU27, a
powerful larger bomber design that saw
extensive use in the bomber, night
fighter, and anti-shipping [music]
roles. It was known for its robustness
and heavy payload. Hank He 111, one of
the iconic shapes of the early German
air force. Recognizable by its
distinctive glazed greenhouse [music]
nose. It served reliably throughout the
war as a transport and V1 launcher.
Hankl he 177 the massive grief or
griffin this heavy bomber was plagued by
severe engine reliability issues and
notorious fires. Despite the troubles it
was the only true longrange German heavy
bomber to see service. Next R234 known
as the Blitz or Lightning. This was the
world's first jet powered bomber and
reconnaissance aircraft. It was so fast
that intercepting it was virtually
impossible. Henchaw HS1223.
This rugged [music] biplane dive bomber
was considered obsolete in 1939.
Yet its incredible toughness and
maneuverability ensured it served as an
effective close support aircraft until
1944. Then Henchel HS29,
the dedicated tank buster, nicknamed the
Brad can opener. This twin engineed
[music] aircraft was heavily armored and
often carried a massive 30 or 75 mm
[music] cannon. Up next, Wolf FW190F.
FW190F.
This version was optimized specifically
for the Schlacked Fleer or ground attack
[music] role. It was heavily armored to
shrug off flack and carry substantial
bomb loads. Fauler Wolf FW90G,
a long range Fauler Wolf fighter bomber
variant. It was stripped of some heavy
fighter weapons to maximize fuel
capacity for deep penetration missions.
Faky Wolf FW200
known by Winston Churchill as the
Scourge of the Atlantic. This longrange
patrol bomber hunted Allied convoys and
directed hubot to their targets. Hine
he15, a very reliable twin engine sea
plane. It operated extensively in
coastal areas performing mine laying
torpedo [music]
attacks and longrange reconnaissance
missions continuing with transport and
[music] utility aircraft. Junkers U52
the legendary Tantu or Auntie Jonkers.
This tri motor transport was the
tireless workhorse of the Luftvafa. It
was essential in every theater from Cree
to Stalingrad. [music] Junker's J290, a
powerful, very long range 4eng engine
transport and maritime reconnaissance
aircraft. It was developed directly from
the 90 bomber concept. Junker's J 160, a
single engine fast passenger aircraft
from the 1930s.
It saw minor service early in the war,
mainly for high-speed liaison and staff
transport. Messa Mi323,
the truly immense gigant or giant. This
sixeng engine transport was capable of
carrying enormous loads including light
tanks and thousands of pounds of
supplies. It was extremely vulnerable to
fighter attack R232 known as the Tolzen
Fussler or millipede. This modern
transport featured an innovative
multi-wheel landing gear. This allowed
it to operate from very rough unprepared
air strips. Junker's J90, a large
4engine passenger airliner converted for
military transport. It was a precursor
to the Junkncker's 290 maritime patrol
aircraft, Seabol C204,
a popular light transport and
multi-engine crew trainer. It was used
extensively for high-speed liaison
duties across occupied Europe. Up next,
Messid BF 108 known as the Typhoon. This
elegant low-wing monoplane was used
primarily [music]
for fast communication and liaison. It
was the design basis for the later 109
fighter. Next, Fisler Fe 156, the famous
Storch or Stalk. This remarkable [music]
aircraft possessed exceptional short
takeoff and landing capabilities. It
could virtually hover and land almost
anywhere, making it invaluable for
command [music] liaison. The next one,
Seabour F-1004, a modern twin engine
communications and liaison aircraft. It
was generally used for transporting
high-ranking staff officers quickly
between headquarters. Junker's W34,
a rugged, successful single engine
[music] utility transport. It was
primarily used for training roles and
carrying small priority cargo loads. The
next one, Junker's W33,
an influential single engine transport
[music] aircraft from the preWorld War
II era. It was used mostly for training
pilots who would later fly the larger
Junkncker's transports. Hankl he 46 an
older parasol wing reconnaissance
biplane. It was largely retired by 1940
but saw initial scouting service during
the Polish campaign. [music] Clem KL 31,
one of a series of light civilian
aircraft that were militarized for basic
communications and liaison duties during
the war and now Clemacell 32. This was a
highly successful slightly larger
three-seater version of the Clem family.
It was praised for its high performance
for a light wooden aircraft. Clem Kale
36, a four seat light [music] touring
aircraft designed for racing. In
military service, it filled light
communications [music]
and fast transport roles. Continuing
with reconnaissance and maritime
aircraft, Fauly Wolf FW189,
the outstanding reconnaissance aircraft
known as the Flying Eye. Its twin boom
glass intensive design gave the crew an
exceptional field of view for
battlefield observation. Henchel HS126,
a highwing monoplane initially used for
tactical observation and short-range
reconnaissance. It was gradually
replaced by the Fauler Wolf 189, a rod
R234B Recon. This was the dedicated
reconnaissance version of the jet
bomber. Its incredible speed allowed it
to photograph Allied preparations over
Britain without risk of interception. Hankl,
Hankl,
the Blitz or Lightning. This aircraft
was famed for its speed as a fast
civilian mail plane. In military
service, it was adapted for
reconnaissance and liaison. Now, this is
the Dornier DU 17P, a specific version
of the flying pencil optimized for
longrange photo reconnaissance. It was
fitted with special cameras and extra
fuel tanks, Blom and Voss BV1 138, known
unofficially as the flying shoe due to
its unique shape. This sturdy tri motor
flying boat was vital for longrange
maritime patrol and reconnaissance over
the Atlantic. Next, Blowman Voss BV222,
the Colossal Wiking or Viking. This was
one of the largest flying boats built
during World War II. It served almost
exclusively as a longrange [music]
maritime transport aircraft. Dornier D24
a very effective tri motor flying boat
renowned for its excellent seaeping
capability. It was used primarily for
search [music] and rescue operations.
The next one Dornier do 18 a sturdy
flying boat design. It was one of the
first aircraft employed for
reconnaissance patrols over [music] the
North Sea and the Atlantic at the start
of the war. Now this is the Dornier D26,
a handsome 4engine flying boat with a
highly advanced [music] retractable
auxiliary flotation gear. It was used
sparingly for longrange transport and
reconnaissance. Hank He 59. This large
twinflat biplane was [music] initially
used for reconnaissance. It gained
notoriety when disguised as an air sea
rescue aircraft for intelligence
gathering. Hankle H60, an aging biplane
sea plane utilized for shipboard
reconnaissance, launched via catapult.
It was largely replaced by the superior
Arado 196 Ardo R96.
This was the standard catapult launch
sea plane aboard major German warships.
It was extremely effective, successfully
engaging and destroying several Allied
submarines and patrol vessels. Hank He
114, an obsolescent biplane float plane
that served briefly as a coastal
reconnaissance aircraft. It was rapidly
phased out as better monoplanes became
available. Continuing with gliders, DFS
230, the assault glider famous for the
raid on the Belgian fortress of Eban
Mael. It was a crucial silent transport
method for airborne forces in the early
war. Gotha Go 242, a large twin boom
troop and [music] cargo glider. It was
heavily used for supply missions,
particularly on the Eastern Front before
powered transports were more available.
Messa Schmidt Mi 321. This was the
largest glider of the war, designed to
carry heavy equipment or 200 soldiers.
Its immense size required the use of
multiple tow aircraft leading to the
development of the 111Z. Next up,
trainers. Booker Buu 131, the famous
Yongman or young man. This primary
trainer Bplane was exceptionally
responsive and helped established the
superb standards of early Luftwafa pilot
training. But Booker Buu 133, the
incredible Yungmeister or young master.
This advanced aerobatic trainer was
legendary for its agility. It refined
the skills of the Luftwaffer's most
talented fighter pilots. and now Hankleh72
Hankleh72
known as the cadet. This biplane was one
of the essential primary trainers of the
new German air force in the 1930s. Clemc
35 a widely used basic and advanced
trainer in the 1930s and early world war
II. Its forgiving handling made it ideal
for student pilots. A radar 96 a single
engine advanced monoplane trainer. It
was used to introduce student pilots to
the handling characteristics of modern
operational aircraft at Fauler Wolf
Favon 44 known as the Stiglets or Goldfinch.
Goldfinch.
This was a hugely successful and popular
primary biplane trainer. Many future
Luftwaffer aces learned their trade in
this aircraft. Now this is the Fauler
Wolf FW56
known as the Schusters. This was a
single seat parasol wing monoplane. It
served mainly as a transition trainer
for pilots moving into fighter [music]
aircraft. The next one, Burkaboo 181,
known as the best man or best man. This
low-wing trainer was intended to teach
pilots the characteristics of modern
monoplane fighters. Ardo R76, a small
single seat parasol wing monoplane
designed as both a fighter trainer and
potentially an emergency defensive
fighter. Then Gotha Go 145, a basic
robust two-seater biplane trainer. Like
many older trainers, it saw late war
service as a night attack aircraft,
dropping small bombs on the Eastern
Front. A Rado R66, a venerable biplane
trainer. Despite its age, it was
surprisingly utilized as a light
nuisance bomber on the Eastern [music]
Front, harassing Soviet ground troops.
Fauler Wolf FW58,
a popular twin [music] engine aircraft
used widely for crew training, light
transport, and air ambulance roles. Its
versatility made it a [music] valuable
utility machine. Seable C202, a light
civilian two-seater aircraft pressed
into service for initial flight
screening and basic training [music]
roles during the war. Finally, we have
helicopters and autogyros. Faulky
Ashculus F223,
the DRA or Dragon. This was a pioneering
twin rotor transport helicopter. It was
built [music] in small numbers and
demonstrated impressive lifting
capability. Fletner FL282
known as the Calibri or Hummingbird. [snorts]
[snorts]
This was a groundbreaking reconnaissance
helicopter utilizing the Fletner
synchronized rotor system. It was
deployed on warships [music] for
