Making an unpowered radio receiver was something we learned as young boys in the Boy Scouts. Most guys I grew up with had made a crystal radio set
During the Second World War, the civilian death toll in Germany from British and American bombing is estimated to be between 570,000 and 800,000. The available casualty records in Germany were reviewed after the war, and it was estimated that at a minimum 305,000 were killed in German cities due to bombing, with a minimum of 780,000 wounded. Additionally, roughly 7,500,000 German civilians were rendered homeless. The number of people killed by Allied bombing in Germany has been estimated at between 400,000 and 600,000
FAaFO
Remember, it was their idea. Rotterdam and London. Shoot, London in WWI. And then it happens to them, and then they call it terrorfleger. Then again, thats the nature of humanity, a cycle of hypocrisy.
We made those numbers look small when you look at the Japanese civilians killed during American air raids, but like that’s fuck around and find out. Don’t touch our boats.
The USAF still flies “bait missions” today. They’re called “Wild Weasels” and they fly F-16C/Js. Basically they tempt enemy Air Defense Batteries into firing Surface-to-Air missiles at them. When they get engaged, they fire back with High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles at the SAMs’ Search/Track Radars. Their “HARMs” fly down faster than the SAMs can fly up. Once the Radars are destroyed, the missiles are useless.
What the wild Weasils do is defense suppression which is a far cry from acting as bait.
@@TheSocratesian It's conceptually very similar. You're presenting enemy air defenses with a target to lure them into switching on their radars, then trying to lob a missile at it and hope to God the SAM doesn't hit you first.
I built a crystal radio set when I was in high school out of doorbell transformer wire. All you need a toilet paper roll a rusty piece of steel, a safety pin, and a pencil. If you know how to arrange them with a crystal headset, you can listen to radio frequencies with no power. I teach electrical now after many years in the electrical field and I have my students build a crystal radio as one of their projects.
One incident that could have been included in this episode, concerning the mission to Berlin. The 100th Bomb Group dispatched 15 aircraft, with Colonel Bennett, in command, in the lead aircraft. After crossing the channel Bennett called back to his tail gunner to ask how many airplanes, from the 100th, he could see.
The tail gunner replied: “All fourteen, sir.”
Bennett would later say that he “was strongly moved. These fine young men were following me in spite of what had happened on their last trip to Berlin.” No aircraft from the 100th had turned back.
Great reaction like always. The P-51 was really a game changer in the war they could fly and fight with British and American bombers all the way to Berlin and back again. They originally had a non-turbocharged version of the P-38's Allison V-12, but really became 'the machine' after it was fitted with the Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 from the Spitfire/Hurricane. Better high altitude performance, better fuel economy. Its range was so large that it even began to replace some of the British Spitfires towards the end of the war. On their way back from escort duty Mustangs would also take out targets of opportunity like enemy trucks, barges, and trains. And the escape of the prisoner camp of Stalag Luft 3 at Zagan in what is now Poland is well documented, the Royal Air Force Squadron Leader Roger Bushell came up with a plan to get 300 of his men out of the camp. It was 300 men originally. But when an area of land was cleared to expand the camp it was cut to 200 because one of the tunnels had its planned opening in the cleared area. From memory one of the other tunnels was discovered but the tunnel used to escape survived and the ‘shut down’ tunnel was used for storage. The plan consisted of the men digging three separate tunnels which were named Tom, Dick, and Harry respectively. The genius of the plan was that, if one tunnel was discovered, the German officers would never consider the existence of two more tunnels. After a full year, the tunnel called Harry was finally complete. These tunnels were not simply holes in the ground, but were complex systems that included air circulation, staging posts, and tools made of tin cans. In March 1944, as the Gestapo ordered Stalag Luft III to increase efforts against escape, Bushell's plan went into action. Due to unforeseen problems such as tunnel collapse and inclement weather. The last 200 men were not expected to get back to britain the first hundred or so had various attributes that it was considered gave them a good chance of getting to britain but the idea was that the 200 roaming around germany/poland would create a big distraction that would give the first 100 a better chance. In the end there was a couple of mishaps that slowed the escape. But only 76 men were able to escape via the tunnel rather than 200, and the 77th man who tried to escape was caught, leading the Germans to uncover the conspiracy. And this was the inspiration for the movie THE GREAT ESCAPE (1963) with Steve McQueen you should watch it, amazing. Keep up the good work.
In case nobody mentioned about the Brits escaping, there is a film called 'The Great Escape' that loosely detail that Brit escape. It was set in a different part of that same POW camp.
Apparently, cats don't taste like chicken. Loved this reaction.

cats are far more delicious than chicken.
there's a good video on the casualties for civillians as well as soldiers, it's called "The fallen of world war II" probably one of the best and haunting summary of how gruesome this war got.
We used to make radios like that back in the 60s and 70s all the time. Back in the day we had Radio Shack where you could buy kits! Another talent that has been lost!
Buzzing the tower was actually quite illegal and could be severely fined for it something like £500 dollars each maybe which in those days were a lot. A story of one crew that reached 25 the night before they did a fundraiser around their unit to raise the money for the fine
Lt colonel Bennet was described as a machine/robot by his men. On one mission was in a nose dive , electrical system gone , his Co pilot was preparing to Bail but realised the bell wouldn't work. All the while Bennet is calm trying to get the electrical system working again. He manages it and gets them out of the dive and they completed the mission and got home
The bit at the start where the one prisoner warns of a surprise count bu the Germans. Is based on the 'duty pilot' system the prisoners had at the camp.
All the guards movements etc were tracked by prisoners in,out and around the camp and used signals to tell others which was then logged in a logbook. Unable to stop it the Germans allowed it too continue and on multiple occasions it was even used by the Camp commandment and other German officers as evidence to punish guards who were late, left early or were AWOL.
One time the head guard or camp commandment snuck up to the british duty pilot of the day was sitting at a window. Scared the life out of him then asked "Has Rudi been in today yet or yesterday" the duty pilot tells him no and he replied "ah then rudi is for the cooler"
That incident stopped British tunneling for at least a week.
By this point buck and bucky had been at the camp 5 to 6 months. Also in real life Clevan also taught calculus classes to other prisoners
They left out one of THE most important actions of the strategic bombing campaign: The Big Week raids of late-February, 1944. The Big Week, not the Berlin raids in March, marked the combat debut of the P-51B Mustang (or at least its first use escorting bombers). Unlike the P-51A, which had been seeing combat in North Africa and the Pacific since 1942, the P-51B didn't suffer from a loss of engine power at high altitudes (piston engines lose power with altitude because of the thinner atmosphere. This is compensated for through the use of turbochargers or superchargers. The Allison engine used by the P-51A, P-40 Warhawk, P-39 Airacobra, and P-38 Lightning was designed around a turbocharger, however because these were large, heavy, and complicated, the P-51 and P-40 were never planned to have one, and the system was eliminated from the P-39 before it was accepted for service. Only the P-38 made it to production with the turbochargers, which had considerable teething issues early on. The Allison had a single-speed supercharger as an alternative, but this only provided sufficient power up to 15,000 feet, HALF the altitude the bombers were operating at in Europe. The P-51B replaced the Allison engine with a license-built version of the Rolls Royce Merlin, which had a two-speed supercharger which allowed the Mustang to operate at altitude with the bombers). Combined with its large internal fuel, external drop tanks, and low-drag wing, this allowed the Mustangs to escort the bombers deep into Germany and back again. The P-47D-25-RE arrived around the same time, which also greatly increased the endurance of the big Thunderbolts.
This marked a massive turning point in the Air War in Western Europe. Although losses to the Allied bombers were also heavy, American industry had reached the point where they could not only replace their losses within weeks, but actually send MORE aircraft than they lost in the first place (by war's end, the US built 15,000 each of the Mustangs and Thunderbolts and 10,000 P-38s; 12,000 B-17s; and a whopping *18,000* B-24s - Ford's plant at Willow Run was turning out a completed B-24 every HOUR). Furthermore, while the Big Week did little to significantly disrupt German fighter production, (German industrial capacity actually GREW in 1944) the Luftwaffe was devastated by losses inflicted by the P-51, P-47, and P-38 escorts, because those losses were still coming at a rate higher than what German industry could replace. Even worse was the loss of experienced pilots; German pilots were in combat until either they were killed, or just plain couldn't fly anymore. New pilots coming up received less and less training as the War dragged on due to lack of fuel (you can't train pilots if you don't have enough fuel for them to fly) and the fact their training facilities were all within range of Allied bombers (and, after 1944, fighters). By contrast, the US rotated its experienced air crews home, where they were put to work training replacement pilots. So although the new crews rotating in were still green, they also received a higher level of training than their German counterparts, so had to do less learning "on the job." Additionally, the American training facilities were beyond the reach of the Luftwaffe, allowing them to train in safety.
The arrival of the Mustang was the death blow for the Luftwaffe, and the beginning of the end for Germany itself.
There were two reasons the tour requirements were increased:
1. With D-Day fast approaching, they needed every hand on deck. Sending pilots home meant experienced crews no longer available to assist with the raids.
2. The arrival of effective long-range escorts, the increasing quality of the air crews, and attrition bleeding the Luftwaffe white, meant that bomber losses were rapidly decreasing. More and more air crews were actually completing their 25 missions. The mission requirements were therefore increased to accommodate the increasing odds of survival.
The escape they're discussing was covered by a classic war film called The Great Escape. Most of the escapees were recaptured. And unfortunately, a furious Hitler demanded they be executed. However, unlike in the series the executions were done quietly and not so openly announced.
The shift in the escort strategy actually led to even FURTHER reductions in bomber losses, even though the bombers were sent out to lure the Luftwaffe into the air. Rather than maintaining close escort, the fighter squadrons were instead released to prowl ahead of the bomber streams with orders to search and destroy the Luftwaffe wherever they could find them. They swept the skies of any German fighters along the bombers' flight path (a mission called a fighter sweep). They attacked airfields, supply convoys and depots, fuel dumps, and other targets of opportunity. At first, the bomber crews hated the change in tactics. They disparagingly called the fighter pilots "Glory Boys" under the mistaken impression they were more interested in racking up kills than defending them from German fighters. But they soon realized that by destroying the Luftwaffe on the ground or by intercepting them in the air before they could even make contact with their formations, that meant fewer German fighters would get through to attack them in the first place, greatly increasing their odds of surviving.
And yes, the architect of this new strategy was THAT General Doolittle.
The intentional ignoring of these events is the biggest disappointment of the series. Those last 3 episodes almost ruined the series in my opinion. Poetic license and composite characters etc is one thing, but to make up complete BS fiction is something else in a show that purports to be in the same vein as the other two shows in the trilogy.
My Uncle perished in a B 24 on the raid to Gotha during Big Week.
@@TheSocratesian This series faced a lot of problems the other two shows didn't.
For one, Covid hit during production which wreaked havoc on filming, impacted the budget, (they simply ran out of money to show the switch from the B-17Fs to the B-17Gs since their only mockup for the airfield scenes was built as an F for the early stages of the campaign) and also contributed to the loss of an episode. Having 10 episodes instead of 9 would have allowed the series more time.
It also covers a considerably longer time period than Band of Brothers, so there's simply more to fit in on top of this. And while The Pacific covered even longer since it begins with the invasion of Guadalcanal in 1942, the nature of that theater, where an individual battle could last for months (Guadalcanal wasn't declared secure until February, 1943, for instance, so that's nearly six months!) and there might be significant gaps between actions to rest for the next major offensive gives you a similar opportunity to focus as in the case of Band of Brothers. For instance, we could shift the action to Basilone on Iwo Jima with the Fifth Marines, because the First was so badly depleted by Peleliu they were out of action until the landings on Okinawa. We saw ALL of the campaigns the First Marines fought at, but it never felt rushed.
The air war is considerably more difficult to do this with, because the aircrews were in combat practically daily from 1943 - 1945 so long as the weather was clear. And even when the Deep Penetration raids were suspended following the second Schweinfurt raid, they were still hitting other targets. Now add on that after episode 5 they're shifting focus between the air war itself, and Bucky and Cleven in the POW camps.
And once again, you have one less episode to do this with.
Quinn even wrote a manuel on escaping etc and helped train new pilot's etc
Crosby mentions in his memior that when unescorted women etc found out he was from the 100th and a survivor he became very popular and his confidence grew as well. Got a lot of attention
That dogfight and shot wasnt exaggerated either. It was that chaotic and sometimes described as a furball
Tunnels were actually extremely sophisticated. Escapees also prepared to escape, forged documents, edited clothing, some of the better prepared ones trained in speaking French or German.
Stuff was even hidden in red cross packages to send to POWs to help them escape.
Quinn and Bailey took over 6 to 8 months to get home. Shot down in august. Took around 5 to 6 months just to get into spain another month to get to gibralter and then back in UK within the month.
In november 1943 in the local paper baileys parents received a medal on his behalf at that point though they hadnt heard anything about him in over 3 months
The british managed to hide a lot of secret radios in stalag Luft 3 and americans and brits built a few as well.
Two of my favourites are the one the brits hid in an accordian and another they hit in a model sail boat
The scene with the mail call. The one saying its a letter from his mom. He wrote her after he was initially captured , so that response to him took 5 to 6 months
Stalag luft 3 was over 24ha in size ( 60 acres) and in the end had over 5 compounds. Nearly 11'000 prisoners of war. 2500 British, 7500 American and 900 other Allied nations.
It was so large it had a massive library , classrooms , theatre even it's own newspapers and radio station.
You can't judge Croz for his slip. He is under incredible pressure.
As for the civilians, civilians were fair game in that total war. If you kill them, they won't be able to build more weapons. It sucks, but that was WWII.
"Incredible pressure" or not, a man who truly loves his wife stays faithful to his wife despite the circumstances.
@@frenchfan3368we always think that, yet once one is in the same situation, I’d be truly surprised if your thought holds.
I read Crosby’s book. He never mentions sleeping with her. I wonder if there is any evidence that he did. Or is this a modern writer’s take on what could have been a Platonic relationship?
As a Christ follower and lover of my own wife, I would stay faithful to her just like everyone should.
@@frenchfan3368 it’s not unique. Watch MASH. This frequently happens in theaters of war where people are under immense pressure and may never even come home.
Frankly cheating among military spouses back home while their spouses are overseas is even more common.
People aren’t perfect and war is one of the worst situations you can put someone in.
I think the was a general in the tower when rosie and his crew decided to buzz the tower. 3 times as well haha
The repeted raids over Berlin were designed to draw the Luftwaffe fighters up and let the P-51 Mustangs destroy them. In the course of Doolittle's Battle of Berlin Germany lost over 1000 fighter pilots. Accounting in part for only two German aircraft attacking the Normandy beachs on D-Day. Bases in France had been stripped of fighters to defend Germany. Also allied fighter squadrons had been straffing the airfields to destroy planes on the ground. I mention this cause they mention the purpose of the raids but don't fill you in on how well it worked.
Oh and because Apple had spent so much already they did not have the money to add the nose turret with 2 .50 cals that B-17's gained in early 1944. This let them hammer German fighters coming in head on.
Just so our Lovely Hostess is clear: The War of Attrition was ongoing: the first raid on Berlin by the 'Eighth' cost them 69 bombers and (11 fighters )shot down out of a force of around 700+ bombers--these were the HIGHEST losses suffered by the Eighth Bomber Command in a single mission; after one day stand down, another raid of 700+ bombers escorted by 700+ fighters struck Berlin again with losses at around 40; the Day AFTER THAT, another raid of 700+ bombers struck Berlin a third time in a row, the Luftwaffe stayed on the ground, pleading bad weather and poor serviceability of their fighter force==the Eighth lost only 8 bombers to flak, bad weather etc.
So we're talking 100+ bombers being shot down but the Allies could still put up 700+ bombers escorted by 700+ fighters each day, regardless of losses suffered--and the raids got larger as bomber strength grew-and bear in mind this was during "BIG WEEK", every other day that the Allies flew during the week other than to Berlin suffered pretty high losses too. The Germans had no way to compete against such odds. Yeah is 'sucked' if you were shot down but as long as 'higher up' could stand it, the grinder would roll on relentlessly.
@@nickmitsialis Thank you for that, the 1st raid you mentioned was called Black Monday due to the losses. Caused in part by one of the bomber divisions going off course and losing its fighter escort. There is a gentleman on YT operating as The History Guy has an episode on that raid, which can be seen here. ua-cam.com/video/YxncrEvurpc/v-deo.html At the end he gives the important battle of attrition fact than the P-51 pilots and gunners on the bombers had destroyed 2 German fighters for ever US aircraft loss. Attritional warfare is awfully bloody but in this instance it worked.
As a comtrast pre P-51 the Schweinfurt-Regensburg raid lost 60 bombers but the German's only lost 27 fighters. On the bloody day when the bombers went back to Schweinfurt 77 bombers and 3 fighters were lost, German losses were 35-38 fighters, precise figure not known.,
While DDay was bad for some units on the ground it was comparatively speaking safe in the air. Due to the fact that the Luftwaffe was so busy defending germany.
Don't worry Kami, Croz's affair triggered me too! The fact that it happened on multiple occasions got me 😠!!! Love these reactions Kamilla. ❤
Red cross packages could contain records, sports equipment etc
In Britain MI9 was set up to specifically design escape materials which could be hidden in red cross packages and equipment given to prisoners
The 100th association released a photo of bucky during his time at stalag luft III recently and you could tell how much he had aged just in that photo
The P-51B started on operations from Britain late in 1943, but only with a handful.
They also had some P-38s, which didn't have quite as long a range, and quite a few P-47s.
P-47s escorted most of the missions that the 100th BG went on up to this point, but they did not have the range to escort to target.
The bombers had basically been bait since Doolittle took over as the Eighth AF's CO in January 1944.
The increased number of missions for a tour reflected the increased chances of surviving missions.
The P-47D-25-RE arrived around the same time as the Big Week missions at the end of February, 1944 (the first time P-51Bs were used for escort missions). This model of the Thunderbolt DID have the range to get the bombers to most targets in Germany and back again (ironically, by the end of the War some P-47 models actually had LONGER range than the Mustang. The P-47N had a nearly 50% increase in range over the P-51D, and was the preferred land-based escort fighter in the Pacific Theater).
Yeah unfortunately the food in the POW camps wasnt great except from red cross packages. E.g. the coffee was made from acorns and called Ersatz coffee. So to prevent starvation they would have anything so that cat became stew
If i remember correctly, the senior british officer once asked for a cat or dog and was given a kitten he decided to call Ersatz ( as it was a substitute) unfortunately i need to read a particular book again to double check about his cat.
Crosby alludes to the relationship in the book but doesnt go into detail about what they did per say. He also didnt tell his wife or admit to anything till his book which i think happened after her death
Definitely watch The Great Escape…
So if you watch the Great Escape just remember that buck and Bucky are on the other side of the compounds
@@alaneskew2664 They should have made Steve McQueen a Canadian since there were zero Americans involved in the Great Escape.
@@TheSocratesian The whole point of having three Americans depicted was to attract the American audience. That was it. I don’t agree with it but that’s why the produces added him and Gardner
if you want to read a really good book on the real story of the British Great Escape , the build up, effort of construction, during and the aftermath from the perspective of one the escapees. See if you can get a copy of Moonless Night by B.A. "Jimmy" James. Absolutely fascinating story and one i think anyone wanting to know more would enjoy

The P51 wasnt that great until they lent some to the british and a british Test pilot went what if we fit them with Rolls Royce Merlin engines instead ( same as spitfire and other planes) improved the performacne massively and made it the escort fighter needed
“They have a pet” ummmmmm 😂😂😂😂
Hell yeah, brother.
I hate to break it to you but what they was eating, was not rabbit…
ohh trust me I know :((((((((
The wartime nickname for that particular meat was "Roof Rabbit"...
I wouldn't be too disappointed with the affair. This is more like a human core behavior due to the amount of danger they are in.
I'm sure the same kind of thing happened in the infantry when a newly liberated town threw a celebration for the troops that liberated them.
There is an account from War Daddy (like in the movie Fury) where they had attacked a German train fleeing France with war spoils. The unit was hopping for food or liquor but what they found was French dresses, langwrie, and perfume.
They kept what they could because they knew they would be going through other towns in Belgium. Their hope was to give the very happy newly liberated ladies these in exchange for the gifts of food and booze that would inevitably follow liberation of the city in hopes that the ladies would "Wear the items for them." The party lasted a couple days because the soldiers ended up scattered all over town that night 'visiting' with the local women that night.
It took three days to get the unit reorganized.
Also, before blaming Crosby it was a two-way affair... and, as you'll find that she had her own reason for wanting the escape from stress. Ie She was in the SOE. A British clandestine operations unit that recruited both women and men...
While it isn't your normal content you should watch/react to "The Fallen of World War II" it's a video by Neil Halloran. Super powerful video showing the real cost of that war.
You look beautiful !!!.. reminiscent of Alicent Hightower !!!

How many civilians died from bombing? Somewhere North of half a million. But that's part of war. You fight until the other side quits. And a lot of people get hurt in the process.
Well I don't feel any sadness for those German citizens who were for Hitler and anialating jews. Those who didn't and died due to bombings yes I feel bad
@@amandapreston2125 Not bombing Germany would have also left Russia to fight them on their own, they had to keep over 2 million troops back to man the air defences, plus strip the Eastern front of large numbers of 88mm dual purpose AA guns that were also very effective anti-tank weapons, and greatly reduce the number of fighter squadrons there.
