The episode described the Munster mission (10 Oct 1943) of the famous Black Week. 20 B-17 aircraft from the 100th departed from Thorpe Abbots (England) and only 13 reached the target. And of these 13 aircraft, only 1 returned, the Royal Flush of the legendary Robert Rosenthal.
@@Spudtron98 hmmmm… wasn’t the reason more like, we took days, they took nights, (we both couldn’t have nights) versus we were the dumb yanks that thought days were better?? And I’m asking, not telling or implying that I know as a fact.
The guy did double the missions required and then returned to Germany for the Nuremberg trials... He is a wartime legend and it's a wonder how I did not know about him before
@@fidan2fast He did get shot down I wont ruin it for you but he met some Russians. Rosie spoke at the 8th AAF historical society back in the 90s. Having been part of that I met 100s of 8th AAF guys. This series makes me miss them all so much. That was the really hard part as the last 10ys were many funerals.
Nobody talks enough about how inspiring Rosie rosenthall was, 13 ships proceeded to target, none of them should have made it back but Rosie did, and then he proceeded to do it again 50 more times. Its like he went up there with the power of a god
Thank you for mentioning Lt Col Robert "Rosie" Rosenthal. Not only was he one of the few to bring his aircraft back from this Munster raid in October 1943, but he would proceed to complete his 25 mission requirement. Then Rosenthal would fly an *additional* 27 missions, being shot down twice - he would receive the Distinguished Service Cross, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and two Silver Stars for his work. At the end of WWII, Rosenthal would serve as an assistant prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, where he got to interview Air Marshall Göring and Field Marshal and head of the General Staff at OKW Keitel...
If theres one thing that blows my mind is the airburst rockets, i didnt know they existed and I knew a LOT about world war 2. I saw this and was like oh uh huh they had rockets then it turns out, yeah, actually germans had airburst rockets set for distance. Crazy stuff.
Yup, they were WGr 21s, used mainly by heavy fighters such as Bf-110s, Me-410s and Ju-88s to break up formations and make the job easier for the Bf-109s and Fw-190s. A lucky direct hit would almost certainly be catastrophic for a B-17 or B-24
They also had a bomb that was dropped from above a bomber formation set to explode after falling 1,000 feet. Some of these bombs contained phosphorus that produced a falling cloud of burning chunks: in photos that is often mis-identified as an exploded bomber going down. However the moment fighter escorts showed up the twin-engined interceptors where swept from the sky and even rockets became rare as they impacted on the speed and maneuverability of a fighter carrying them.
George Morrison was a tail gunner in the 303rd BG and told me about those rockets. He said " You'd see'em back there in our vapor trails a Me 110 or 410 and when I'd see his tail drop I knew he'd fired rockets at us. I'd immediately tell Dasheilds to pull'er up fast. The ship in front of us wasn't so lucky as those rockets took their wing off. George passed away in 1997 he was the sole survivor of his crew or so he always thought. I found Don Delaura the bombardier alive and well a few yrs after George passed. This series makes me really miss my friends.
They had the R4M for the 262 as well and at least one of the "experten"(Ralls?) was proficient in their use. I remember many years ago seeing a picture of a B-24 going down that was supposedly one he got with a direct hit and it was completely blown apart. @@Medjay_Aleks
The day a bomber became a fighter, and a bomber pilot became a fighter pilot. This is a great show!! I felt bad when the commander and staff back at base realizes they lost almost every body.
'I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, Those that I guard I do not love; My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor, No likely end could bring them loss Or leave them happier than before. Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death.' ('An Irish Airman foresees his Death' - W. B. Yeats)
This part has recently inspired me to face my problems head on, no matter how tired I am. Whether it’s a grueling day at work or some event elsewhere, watching these men ground themselves and face the situation with unwavering courage in the face of Certain Death is inspiring.
It was a bit weird watching that episode, I grew up in Muenster, in one of the aerial shots when they were aiming their bombs I could see the spot where my old school was located xD
@@SarSaranethTotally irrelevant comparison. Civilians could be considered as military targets, not usas fault japan/germany refused to surrender no matter what
Thank you to all the brave men and women who fought in WW2 and to the magnificent team who brought this masterpiece of a show to us. Thank you and Bravo.
Easily my favourite character in the show. The fact that he chose to stay when he didn't have to tells you everything about what kind of person he was. Fresh faced rookie to grizzled veteran, incredible story.
@@Tank50us i am aware. i have alot of hours in war thunder and ive seen that play out before. its kinda funny to think that germany was putting fresh recruits in jet fighters attacking at closure rates in excess of the speed of sound while relying on cannons, while heavy and high explosive, had a subsonic muzzle velocity.
Visited Munster a few years ago and i was very impressed with the city. One thing was how all the buildings were in such good conditions even the old town and then i realised it was all new. Munster got hammered. Anyways brave men and im grateful.
@@Melior_Traiano yes I know, wie use sometimes ue instead of ü. In Germany some visitors of the german tank museum drive to Münster and wondering about the missing Museum. 😂
Thank God they finally made a series about the bomber crews especially the eighth Air Force, I mean, I cannot even begin to imagine being up there. And the casualty rates amongst the bomber crews were simply horrific. It’s absolutely nuts.
I watched it and i lived in Münster for 15 years. I can see in one shot my house with the street. And as the bombs drops you can see exactly which streets are hits. Münster was bombed 102 times and 91% of all houses where destroyed. They dropped over 32000 bombs and 642.000 Phosporbombs. 20% of this are unexploded and a fast mayority of it remain in the ground until today, they try to defuse them when they find one. It is unclear if the bombs are stable in the future or if they crumble and explode in the future. It is terrible that so many people on both sides died.
@@Gereizt1 I didn't say that. I'm saying the truth - death on both sides was beyond tragic. But Germany started this mess - so where's the controversy?
@@Gereizt1 - You need to remember what Germany was using the railways for. The amount of live lost in the Allied bombings, does not come close to what Germany did to Jews and other ethnic minorities.
I read his book more than once. "Balmour, did you get that big yellow fighter that just went by us?" Heroes. Every one that fought to save the whole World!
Several P-47s were also heavily engaged with the Luftwaffe in this raid including men from the legendary 56th Fighter Group .....2 men became aces that day David C. Schilling and Robert S. Johnson. Their unit was shown in this episode, but due to fuel they had to withdraw despite this they STILL tangled with 40+ Luftwaffe fighters off the coast.
I learned about all these guys from reading about them in the late 60's.The passage of time has faded them from history somewhat.Young people need to know about the "Wolfpack"of Zemke,Gabreski,and Johnson.....and of their rivalry with the equally famous 4th Fighter Group.
I do not understand the low ratings for this show on IMDB, it's very well done, it's not going to be BoB but the bombing mission scenes are some of the most tense scenes i've watched in a show in a long time, border line stressful, I think they did an amazing job
Really wish they had kept the tradition of not putting any music in the battle scenes just like in Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and the Pacific. That always gave it a more authentic feel.
@@StewCrew66 I thought I noticed it since the first episodes that they had music as well. Because I immediately thought of that while watching the show. I'll have to rewatch but still great show so far, just nit-picking.
0:58 probably most horrifing experience... You somehow managed to get out of that plane that just got shot into mince meat only to realize you chute is malfunctening.
That music that plane just shivers, this happend to people i imagined there 5 min drop its just horific u know u about to die and u got 5 to 7 minutes to accept it i think many would pray cry and shout its just nobody shows this and this show shows the horrors of war also that guy was shot down by them One second your oke the other you time is up Just fing crazy man
Once the bombs were dropped and much of the fuel had been used, a B-17 could fly (badly) on 2 engines. Some made it back on one good engine and one damaged engine.
Yarnhub did one about Ye Olde Pub (the Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident) with the band Sabaton. This was a different B-17 however, The Royal Flush. Edit: Just seen theyve done a few B-17 stories, so they have done this one too. Apologies.
The Air War Over Europe was epic. Strategic leadership mistakes overcome by good old American Manufacturing with good enough technology. The problem of CGI movies is that the action is exaggerated: tracer shots were small trails of bullets, not these asteroid like sky trails. Explosions were small, structural failures more often than exploding planes. And these closure speeds seem like jets flying around. And the gunners and pilots are trained to not fire until like 150 yards out, not a half mile away.
Well, besides the historical events, the show did foreshadow it from the beginning. The colonels had mentioned replacements were being sent, several episodes before the replacements were ever shown. There would be no reason do mention the replacements so early into the series, unless the main character is being introduced with them. Similar to how Crosby is the narrator, instead of either Cleven or Egan. Add that “Masters of the Air” is a bit of a tribute to Steven Spielberg’s father, who was a bomber boy in the Pacific theater. So, it should not support anyone, the main character would be a the most famous Jewish bomber pilot.
"The man, the myth, the legend.." is Distinguished Service Cross holder, pilot Lt Col Robert "Rosie" Rosenthal. Look up his record or check his Wikipedia page, Rosie did 52 missions in total and worked as an assistant to the US prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials....
Doubt they’ll cover it in detail- the 100th only had a handful of planes that day and lost none. Next episode seems to be covering Rosie, Buck and Bucky
According to the historical reports by the actual crews, yes. They managed to shoot down 6 german planes like in this video, the waist gunners was wounded badly but managed to live, sent back to US to recover The plane is called B-17 Royal Flush
I realize showing swastikas can be problematic, esp for legal reasons in the EU, but can anyone explain why, for this post, APPLE TV chose to blur out the Luftwaffe balkenkreuz (bar cross) on the wing of the Bf109 during the slow motion shot @02:57 ?
The sound engineers rarely get things like that right. I was a Vulcan gunner in the Army, the same 20mm M61 General Electric cannon that's put in jets I was a gunner on, the Army version was mounted in a turret on top of an M113 chassis and was known as the M167A1/A2 Self Propelled Vulcan Air Defense Gun. In 1986 just several weeks before I got out of the Army me and some buddies went to the theater to see the movie Top Gun that everyone was raving about at the time, when it got to the part where the F14's were firing their M61 Vulcan cannons and the sound effect was that of an ordinary belt fed machinegun like an M60 we groaned so loud everyone in the theater looked at us, one day someone is going to explain to Hollywood sound engineers that a 6,000 round per minute 20mm cannon does not sound like a typical .30 caliber belt fed machinegun an Infantry squad would have.
That would be VERY interesting as unlike these bomber crews, there wasn’t a set number of missions they had to complete. It was for the duration or until you were shot down.
Then you should definitely read "A higher call". Franz Stiglers memoirs gives a good insight in the life of a Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Or "I flew for the Fuhrer"
@@AB-mw8oz I meant my “unlike these bomber crews” I wasn’t talking about there interest but rather that unlike the liftwaffe they had a set number of missions. You read my comment wrong
I have not played a better flight simulator then this !!!! And the camera options ..... and filming everything and uploading to internet ..... I love the camera options.
These Boys, eventually, were numbers and statistics. Losing a whole squadron would make you think, wouldn't it? And still they kept sending them in by the thousands, into a meat grinder, unescorted.
Сомневаюсь, что одиночный Б-17 мог бы отбиться от Мессершмиттов. Может и подбить там 1, но сами были б сильно повреждены... Немецкие пилоты знали, что бомбардировщики никто не сопровождает. И могли позволить себе любые атаки на одинокий Б-17
I'm suprised it has few American propaganda and planes get wrecked left right and center. The Flak is very unrealistic tough. Every time it goes off, hot sharp shrapnel should fly everywhere trough the plane if close enough. EDIT = Why are pieces around mark 1:30 falling so slow as if they where on the moon?
About the falling slowly- this actually can happen with airplane wreckage from a break-up, pieces will rotate as they fall in ways that create lift, making them fall quite slowly compared to other pieces. A young woman actually survived a mid-air breakup over the Amazon because of this effect once.
Exactly also on another note lot of material is made hollow and made light so it can lift if it breaks up it lost it most heavy parts engines, bombs, weapons, only mere pieces that often arent heavy remain tumbling

If that plane had been named Full House or Three Of A Kind it might not have made it back

Crazy
The life of a B-17 crew member was very difficult.

Me on my weekly In-N-Out run
I realize showing swastikas can be problematic, esp for legal reasons in the EU, but can anyone explain why, for this post, APPLE TV chose to blur out the Luftwaffe balkenkreuz (bar cross) on the wing of the Bf109 during the slow motion shot @02:57 ?
Why are their .50 cal AN-M2 machine guns firing so slow? - I thought the aircraft versions fired really fast?????
The sound engineers rarely get things like that right.
I was a Vulcan gunner in the Army, the same 20mm M61 General Electric cannon that's put in jets I was a gunner on, the Army version was mounted in a turret on top of an M113 chassis and was known as the M167A1/A2 Self Propelled Vulcan Air Defense Gun.
In 1986 just several weeks before I got out of the Army me and some buddies went to the theater to see the movie Top Gun that everyone was raving about at the time, when it got to the part where the F14's were firing their M61 Vulcan cannons and the sound effect was that of an ordinary belt fed machinegun like an M60 we groaned so loud everyone in the theater looked at us, one day someone is going to explain to Hollywood sound engineers that a 6,000 round per minute 20mm cannon does not sound like a typical .30 caliber belt fed machinegun an Infantry squad would have.
Best scene and episode in the whole series after this the show was the Masters of the POW camp

Wrong bomb group, Charlie Brown was in the 379th bomb group not the 100th
@@scottdunkirk8198 oh! uh~ thanks a lot!
shocking scene
My grandfather would tell me stories about this raid. Even those that survived had PTSD from how awful the CGI was.
Gem of a show
2:57 is that german BF109?
Yerp
Id love for a flags of our fathers style companion series from the perspective of German fighter pilots
That would be VERY interesting as unlike these bomber crews, there wasn’t a set number of missions they had to complete. It was for the duration or until you were shot down.
Then you should definitely read "A higher call". Franz Stiglers memoirs gives a good insight in the life of a Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Or "I flew for the Fuhrer"
I would recommend reading J.G.26 top guns of Luftwaffe
@@eddiemoran8044 Wouldn't say these bomber crews weren't interesting. They suffered the highest % of casualties of any branch of the US military.
@@AB-mw8oz I meant my “unlike these bomber crews” I wasn’t talking about there interest but rather that unlike the liftwaffe they had a set number of missions. You read my comment wrong
Top gun. Maverick
The Germans spoke English.
This is what I would call a true war thunder moment 😂
average war thunder match:
What's the name of the show orthe series?

:)
0:30 - YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR RIGHT WING!
I have not played a better flight simulator then this !!!!
And the camera options ..... and filming everything and uploading to internet ..... I love the camera options.
Minute 3:17. Looks more like a Spitfire than a Me 109.
Name of the soundtrack?
My Hometown 😅
That was the most defensive I ever saw
Fly it like you stole it.
These Boys, eventually, were numbers and statistics. Losing a whole squadron would make you think, wouldn't it? And still they kept sending them in by the thousands, into a meat grinder, unescorted.

I haven’t had Munster cheese in a decade
Different "Munster" this was the October 10, 1943 raid on Münster *
Сомневаюсь, что одиночный Б-17 мог бы отбиться от Мессершмиттов. Может и подбить там 1, но сами были б сильно повреждены...
Немецкие пилоты знали, что бомбардировщики никто не сопровождает. И могли позволить себе любые атаки на одинокий Б-17
Thanks torrent download
오스틴 버틀러 존잘임 ㄷㄷ
nice
what? German AAA and German fighter in the same area?
Tragic！
Shot for shot from Memphis Bell it seems
I'm suprised it has few American propaganda and planes get wrecked left right and center. The Flak is very unrealistic tough. Every time it goes off, hot sharp shrapnel should fly everywhere trough the plane if close enough. EDIT = Why are pieces around mark 1:30 falling so slow as if they where on the moon?
About the falling slowly- this actually can happen with airplane wreckage from a break-up, pieces will rotate as they fall in ways that create lift, making them fall quite slowly compared to other pieces. A young woman actually survived a mid-air breakup over the Amazon because of this effect once.
Exactly also on another note lot of material is made hollow and made light so it can lift if it breaks up it lost it most heavy parts engines, bombs, weapons, only mere pieces that often arent heavy remain tumbling
Those poor buggers
CGI reminds me of that plane mission in call of duty ww2
I have to be this guy.
There’s a hole in your left wing.
If you know you know
Funny how they have unlimited ammo
"There's a whole in your left wing!"
