  • The Amazing German transport planes of WW2 such as the Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant and the Arado Ar 232 Millipede. The Me 323, also known as the Gigant, was a six-engine transport plane that was one of the largest aircraft of its time. However, despite its impressive size, the Me 323 proved to be vulnerable to attack and many were lost in combat. The Arado Ar 232, on the other hand, was a twin-engine transport plane that was designed to operate from rough, unprepared fields. However, like the other transport planes used by Germany, the Ar 232 also suffered heavy losses during the war.
    Overall, the transport planes of Germany played a crucial role in the war effort but the heavy losses sustained by these aircraft greatly hindered their effectiveness. Despite their advanced designs, many of these planes proved to be no match for the superior technology and tactics of the Allied forces.
    During World War II, Germany utilized a variety of transport planes to move troops and supplies across Europe. However, many of these planes were lost during the war due to intense combat and strategic bombing campaigns by Allied forces.
    One of the most widely used transport planes by Germany during the war was the Junkers Ju 52. This aircraft was known for its versatility and was used for a variety of roles including transport, reconnaissance, and even as a bomber. However, many Ju 52s were lost during the war due to heavy anti-aircraft fire and attacks by fighter planes.
    Another transport plane used by Germany during the war was the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor. This aircraft was primarily used as a long-range transport and was also used for reconnaissance and anti-shipping operations. However, many Fw 200s were lost to Allied fighters and naval vessels.
    The German military also utilized several other transport planes during the war such as the Heinkel He 111 and the Dornier Do 17, but these aircraft also suffered heavy losses.
    The Arado Ar 232 Tausendfüßler "Millipede", sometimes also called Tatzelwurm, was a cargo aircraft, designed and built in small numbers by the German firm Arado Flugzeugwerke during World War II. The design introduced, or brought together, almost all of the features now considered to be standard in modern cargo transport aircraft designs, including a box-like fuselage slung beneath a high wing; a rear loading ramp (that had first appeared on the December 1939-flown Junkers Ju 90 V5 fifth prototype four-engined transport via its Trapoklappe); a high-mounted twin tail for easy access to the hold; and various features for operating from rough fields. Although the Luftwaffe was interested in replacing or supplementing its fleet of outdated Junkers Ju 52/3m transports, it had an abundance of types in production at the time, and did not purchase large numbers of the Ar 232.
    The Me 323 was the result of a 1940 German requirement for a large assault glider in preparation for Operation Sea Lion, the projected invasion of Great Britain. The DFS 230 light glider had already proven its worth in the Battle of Fort Eben-Emael in Belgium (the first ever assault by gliderborne troops), and would later be used successfully in the invasion of Crete in 1941.
    However, in order to mount an invasion across the English Channel, the Germans would need to be able to airlift vehicles and other heavy equipment as part of an initial assault wave. Although Operation Sea Lion was cancelled, the requirement for a heavy air transport capability still existed, with the focus shifting to the forthcoming Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union.
    On 18 October 1940, Junkers and Messerschmitt were given just 14 days to submit a proposal for a large transport glider. The emphasis was still very much on the assault role; the ambitious requirement was to be able to carry either an 88 mm gun and its half-track tractor, or a Panzer IV medium tank. The Junkers Ju 322 Mammut reached prototype form, but was eventually scrapped due to difficulties in procuring the necessary high-grade timber for its all-wood construction, and as was discovered during the Mammut's only test flight, an unacceptably high degree of instability inherent in the design.

      So incredible in that the Luftwaffe could never settle on a long range bomber, capable of reaching Soviet war factories far beyond the Ural mountains. Yet they had all these aircraft in their inventory which were desperately needed before the Barbarossa invasion of the Soviet Union. leading to the inevitable conclusion, Hitler's militarily incompetence remains unmatched in modern war history.

Now this aircraft is unfortunately out of service. My father was rescued by a Ju52 out of the Stalingrad pocket under heavy flak fire together with other wounded soldiers end of 1942. Thats part of our history, great video. Greetings from Austria.

      -The most effective aircraft the German had at Stalingrad was the He 111 used as a transport. The Ju 52 engines wouldn't start in the cold while the fuel injected Jumos started straight away and the navigation gear and speed mean more trips over greater range.
      -While the Ju 52 3m carried the same 2 tons of cargo as the DC-3/C-47 the C-47 was 60% faster and flew 100% further for only 33% more fuel. The short range of the Ju 52 meant the Germans had to stage their cargo loading airfields much closer (during the Stalingrad encirclement these were over run by Soviet Tanks) , the lack of speed meant less trips per day, the lack of fuel economy meant they needed much more fuel. The lack of speed also meant they were easier to intercept. The Ju 52 also had less volume.
      -Supplying Stalingrad and Rommel's North Africa force was too much for this otherwise good aircraft. It cost efficiency just wasn't there.

    In 1964 I built, from my own plans, a BV-238 & Me-323, both powered by six Cox .020 glow plug engines. Span was 6 feet for the Me-323 and 6 feet, 6 inches for the Bv-238. My largest project was an 9 foot length flying (floating?) model of the R-101, the UK airship that crashed in France on October 5, 1930. Those models were somewhat large for their day.

    Currently, the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, in Winnipeg, houses the only extant example of a single-engine Junkers Ju-52 (Registration CF-ARM). The first six "Iron Annies" were built with a single BMW engine. In 1931, after acquiring one of these early single-engine Ju-52s, Canadian Airways Ltd. swapped this out with an 850-hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard. This aircraft came to be known in Canada as "The Flying Boxcar". The aircraft at the RAMWC is a replica, built in 1985, though Transport Canada certified it as airworthy, and it did make one flight.

    This was an excellent survey of Luftwaffe transport types - thank you!
    Regarding losses, I don't think there was a transport of substantial size in any air force which could defend itself from fighter attack. The October 1943 Schweinfurt-Regensburg raids proved that even the legendary B-17 'Flying Fortress' bristling with guns was subject to unsustainable losses from defending fighters without a long range fighter escort. One can only imagine how vulnerable Me-232 or BV-222 transports would have been without fighter protection.
    As always this shows how ingenious the German aeronautical engineers were.
    The Ju-52 which first flew in 1930 was a direct descendant from the Junkers J-3 of 1915 - which I believe was the first metal aircraft to see service. 'Tante-Ju' was the end of the line of the corrugated duralumin skin construction paradigm Hugo Junkers had pioneered in his invention of the metal aeroplane. It was very strong and needed less (or no) longerons than the later, smooth monocoque construction seen in the Douglas DC-3/C-47, but it was clearly very 'dirty' aerodynamically. Consequently the Ju-52, while slow and vulnerable, was also pretty tough and reliable.
    Remember too that the Ju-90 was developed from the Ju-89 that Gen. Walter Wever had called for in the mid 1930s as a long range strategic bomber that could deliver a significant bomb load over the Urals. It and the Do-19 were both cancelled under Goering's direction in order to produce more twin engine bombers, leaving Germany without a strategic bomber, which didn't seem terribly important to the top leadership as they saw the Luftwaffe more in tactical terms anyway (which also led to the He-177 fiasco). When the Battle of the Atlantic broke out, the Focke-Wulf 200 airliner hurriedly adapted into a long range convoy raider, a task for which it had not been designed and after some initial success had to be withdrawn.
    One can only wonder how the Ju-90 and Focke-Wulf 200 would have fared in long range passenger service had the war not happened.
    A great video, thanks. The one respectful suggestion I would make is to try and maintain the original film aspect ration when dealing with historic footage - some of these shots look laterally stretched from 1:1.37 to 1:1.78. This is a common problem with archival footage on YT.

      The Ju 52 3m was the Luftwaffe's main transport aircraft unfortunately it was so inadequate it ensured Germany would loose the war. There were other factors of course but Germany could not win with this aircraft.
      -While the Ju 52 3m carried the same 2 tons of cargo as the DC-3/C-47 the C-47 was 60% faster and flew 100% further for only 33% more fuel. The short range of the Ju 52 meant the Germans had to stage their cargo loading airfields much closer (during the Stalingrad encirclement these were over run by Soviet Tanks) , the lack of speed meant less trips per day, the lack of fuel economy meant they needed much more fuel. The lack of speed also meant they were easier to intercept. The Ju 52 also had less volume. It had no advantages in takeoff length.
      -It's not that the Germans couldn't design and build a better aircraft, the Ju 252, Ar 234 for instance but they couldn't mass produce it or chose not too.
      -There is no way the Ju 52 could supply Stalingrad or Rommel's force in North Africa at the same time (In both cases Armies of 130,000 men were lost).
      -Ju 252 could have done the job, Fw 200 if they hadn't been used as Maritime Reconnaissance Bomber might have been better.

      Both The C-47(DC-3) and Ju 52 aircraft could lift about the same 2-2.5 tons but the C-47 had much more internal volume. The DC-3 was about 60% faster, could fly 60% further on the same fuel and had about twice the range. The range of the Ju 52 was so short some cargo loading airfields were even over run by the Soviets and attack by their fighter aircraft.
      -The Ju 252 on the other hand could have carry about 4-5 tons of cargo over 2400 miles (4000km) all the way from Berlin, direct to Stalingrad, of load its cargo and return with wounded and evacuees all without refueling. it could even carry a small cargo almost 4000 miles. I suspect the 6th Army at Stalingrad could have been saved and Rommel Africa core held out much longer with the Ju 252 replacing the Ju 52.
      -The Ju 52 was in abundance because Erhard Milch had ordered it into mass production as a bomber to flesh our the Luftwaffe's Bomber squadrons pending the introduction of He 111/Ju 88 and Do 17. This meant the Ju 52 was in plentiful supply.

    During the German invasion of the Netherlands, May 10 -14, they lost about 350 airplanes. 275ea of those 350ea were Junkers JU-52 transport planes which carried the paratroopers and other militairy personell and supplies. During the years 1940 up to 1945 the Germans tried to recover/rebuild a number of those JU-52's in the Fokker factory in Amsterdam, but never managed to rebuild/build those lost valuable JU-52's in the remaining war years.

      Whilst the land gains were far greater than in 1914 -18 their daily death rate was much higher although with the benefit of a pacified continent and marginal losses in occupation but still had to account for their own losses of men and equipment

      Hello Klaus, we got the license for the video from a production company that does not exist anymore, through a common friend in the USA. The producer was British, but he mainly worked in Canada. Back in the days he had access to many aircraft companies, where he collected a lot of exclusive and rare footage.

    The big planes created in 44' was more a psychological tool!
    The Airsuperiority was no more, it could be used for transports near to the hot spots, but flying into the enemy territory and trying to land something near the Front would be a suicide mission!
    It was more for the Domestic consumption that's why the numbers are so low (I fact mostly 1,2 or a few more)!

    The glider version of the Me 323 had the largest single aircraft crash mortality count until the Boing 747s in the Canary Islands decades later. As part of a planned invasion of the British Isles, it was fully loaded with over 300 German soldiers when the one of the He 111 towing aircraft collided with the other, and it crashed killing all aboard... your tax-dollar at work.

    1:50 in the book! The First Jet Pilot” when Hitler saw the world’s first jet plane, by Henkel in 1939 before the war, Hitler asked how soon it can be ready and the pilot told in 18 months
    And Hitler said, it is not necessary because the war will les than one year so he cut funding for the development, And that was before he invaded Poland . But if Hitler wanted to take over the world is is claimed by the victors! He would have known that to take over the world in less than one year is just not possible.
