Nice one Frederick! That 37mm Gun Camera footage at the end just goes to show how much of a devestating Weapons platform it was for its time When Paired with the Stuka Dive Bomber and a Pilot of Rudell's Calibre!
Yes it lost its luster as a diver bomber due to its slow speed & non-retractable landing gear late in the war. However it was a robust plane & a good platform as a ground attack airplane with those devastating twin 37mm cannons. It was a precursor to the A-10 similar to the better purpose built ground attack plane made by the Soviets, the IL-2. Our pilots had limited sorties & rotations. German pilots did not which is why they have insane stats like number of missions/sorties & kills that will never be beat. Rudel was said to have done damage in the billions😦 If you ever hear a summary of his exploits it is staggering. He once had to escape like 50km through hostile lines while wounded. He lost part of his right leg I believe but after a couple of months of rest & rehabilitation he was back to flying combat missions. That dude was a beast.
Again...amazing film footage that was rarely....if ever.... shown before. Great job, Frederick....your channel is improving daily, even when it was excellent all-along, before !!!......
Panorama episode 4 for 1945. Who saw these films ? By January 1945 the Russkies were across the Oder, US/UK in the Ruhr and daily bombing raids resulting in chaos and dysfunctional cities . I thought all theatres were closed to the public in late 1944. So obviously these films were rarely seen by the cold and hungry population. So interesting that these films are preserved and survived post war censorship by DDR / West
Much of the filming was done before 45, possibly even all of it? I don't know who was watching them, maybe they got produced and never saw the light of day
3:29..OH MAN?!....No way?....Im pretty certain that home on that hill is a structure that still stands today as a guest-house on, or near, the road that connects Ramsau (Ramsau being 6-7 kms NW of Berchtesgaden ) & the wonderful Alpine lake known as the 'Hinterzee' (HIGHLY recommend a visit y'allz if even in the area, or one can take a leisurely stroll/hike along the excellent, not too tough to do, 6km hike betwixt Ramsau & the Hinterzee. The trail Mostly/largely flat-ish.;)
No niestety pod skrzydłami w gondolach miał działka zpociskami z zubożonym uranem ale tylko po sześć sztuk na działko ale to u Rudla zawsze było 6 sztuk ruskich czołgów mniej❤

Rudel - a Hero
early spring 1945, training for the German navy as a signaler. Thats how to survive the war..smart.
Mark Felton's website brought me here- Thank you for the footage of Werwolf -Hitlers Lair.
My favorite UA-cam channel

Fascinating! History is magnificent and revealing!
This was some really good footage. Footage I have never seen. Thanks for sharing.
Though the Stuka was outdated by 1942, it still did an outstanding job in Russia.
Outdated since 1940 !
Like the frequent usage if Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsody😆. Sort of your channel theme.
Great piece.
Great channel
Dam that was a big Cannon 😳
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end
Great video! The stuka must have been terrifying to be on the recieving end of that thing!!

9:57 From blitzkrieg 1941 to bushkrieg 1945, aka "Hide n seek" ;)
Are there many undiscovered films in the German war archives?
I have thousands of films including many from private sources
@@M1945 I would love to have see those films 🎥
@@paoloviti6156 Stick with the channel and you see many over time. The most raw footage however can only be shown privately to the Patreon supporters
Man, the German military was sure busy during those years
El Stuka, era lento y debía de ir acompañado de dos cazas para protegerlo.
Para el frente oriental, era válido, contra Inglaterra un estorbo.
To think they had the 37mm cannon before the war even started 39' but would be 43 before they get to squadrons!!??
I wonder how many of those HJ Naval boys got conscripted into fighting the Soviet juggernaut in those last months of the war ?

Stuka failed in battle of Britain but has been likely under rated in rest of the war
Were fine in 39 and then in the east but were quickly overtaken by English and US planes
That is september 1944 not early 1945!

Ernst Udet lernte vor dem Krieg in den USA deren Stukas kennen😉
Great videos. I would love to know what music is playing during the sections narrated by you. Thanks!
