Hello, I love watching your video, especially the naval ones, and I have a great idea for a future video the sms sea adler the square rigged sailing warship in history
Not squadron. Group. 3 squadrons. On march 6, 1944, Mission 250, target Berlin, the 100th put up all 22 flyable aircraft. None returned. Later it was found one damaged aircraft had landed in Switzerland and was interned. The remainder were destroyed.
With our limited mind resources and knowledge, we could only guess the answer of why us and me. Knowing that we don't know is our only comfort. How will they move everyone in the ground personnel and all replacements for whenever will be the next mission? Will it be disbanded or a squadron of people from other squadrons, and those just arrived from the states?
@@t_sixtyfivex_wing8787 After mission 250, the group commander of the 100th had a breakdown on the ramp when none of his men returned. He was hustled away before the men could see, and replaced.

Imagine being one of the officers who signed off on the mission, waiting at the air base as you see a single heavy bomber, slowly land onto the runway. Glad to hear that at least most of the plane crews made it out alive, just captured, but all of their sacrifices have been immortalized.
@salvadorvizcarra769 Saying the Russians single handedly won the war is stupid. If the Allies weren't drawing fire in the West they never would have beaten the Germans and vice versa. And while the Russians definitely did the most damage they still would have been crushed if the Germans didn't also have a war going in the West and South causing them to have less supplies to send to the East.
@salvadorvizcarra769Facts. Dudes like Quick 15 get mad when we say it but really, the Red Army basically singlehandedly smashed the Axis in Europe with little to no help.
Wow, this was incredible. It included details that Masters of the Air failed to mention, and it had the perfect balance of narration, sound effects, and voice acting. 10/10 YarnHub, you have nailed it once again. Thank you for all you hard work in honoring these heroes. Also, Deblasio was an absolute beast.
I read the caption and Immediately remembered the scene from Masters of the air. The Shock and despair in the eyes of the ground crew and staff said it all that day
The zoom in on the bullets flying through the air and each saying “like, comment, subscribe” was brilliant and hilarious. Got a sub here mate! Good job!
The Bloody Hundreds Munster Raid.. Yes! I recommend everyone to watch the Masters Of The Air series, this story is potrayed there, along with any others
It had its moments, but the series just felt "lack luster" in a lot of categories. Character development, screenplay and a lot of CGI effects were just overall meh. I was disappointed as I am a very big WW2 aviation buff, and was really looking forward to this series when it was announced. And the editing/scene transitions were terrible too.
@@JakeOrion i dont really agree with you. Yes it wasnt quite on the level of band of Brothers, but other than that? Daamn was it a perfect series. I fell in love instantly with Buck and Bucky, some CGIs werent that great but overall, it blew my mind! 🤯 Dunno About the character development, for me it perfectly potraied the tragedy of losing so many crews, thats why you didnt have so much of the character development. No idea About the editing, you must have watched wrong series, i had no problem with it😂 (and its definitely better than any video yarnhub will ever make, i dont mean that badly, its just a fact)
@@JakeOrion tuskegee airmen, i gotta agree was toptier bullshit, forced to put just because black people womp womp. i fully agree with what you said, i just mean that what was depicted was depicted perfectly
The animations just keep improving every video. The detail involved and mix of narration and voice lines all go hand in hand to create masterpieces like this!
Harry Crosby’s book ‘A Wing and a Prayer’ is one of the best covering the Bloody 100th. My uncle was a waist gunner on the plane ‘Our Babe’, and I cherish the memories of him telling me this and many other stories about his air group. Great video and retelling of Rosie’s story.
Sorry, but it was a fantasy. What are the odds that one guy can get a twofer twice in one operation, not to mention a whole bunch of others? Not lilkely.
@@dougerrohmer ,considering the sheer scale that was WWII and the sheer amount of other,even more crazy things that have happened,it's not unlikely,but very much possible.
@@dougerrohmer Its more then believeable that the germans fixated on a lone aircraft would be flying close, close enough to where they would collide if there were a sudden change in movement
Once again, you guys knocked it out of the park with this one! That was a hell of an adaptation of one of my favorite episodes of Masters of the Air! Keep it up and keep em flying!! “Let’s rack em up and knock em down!”
21 minutes ago. It's absolutely amazing. Your stuff is already better, all documentaries made by big corporate giants simply because your stuff is a passionate project, keep up that absolutely amazing work.
i cant believe this kind of animation quality and story is put out every week by these guys. it was amazing to first see it in the Desert Storm video with the Abrams some months back. this channel is stunning.
Greatings from Munster, Germany .... never rooted so much for guys, that are bombing my home town. I'm not sure about your photos of munster, but your story telling and enormous quality to make me understand the times and people is amazing. Thank you!
@@mosuke5123 oh yes, when you tried to pull this in the other comment section, but you weren’t even smart enough to look up the Geneva conventions for the time period but you arnt smart enough to see what the actual war crimes and the time period are
thank you for helping me on my b-17 project in social studies with your videos. you gave me stories and facts. you also helped me with already knowing stuff
I can't imagine the pain in the surviving pilots minds, or the sorrow in the crews hearts awaiting the 100ths return when they realized this was it when the one landed.
It was extremely rare for a bomber to actually shoot down an attacking fighter and the fact that the royal flush shot down that many aircraft in one engagement is likely one of those tall tale war stories manufactured by the aircorp to put a spin on how badly the mission failed.
I mean with all due respect it is a possibility but it’s also a possibility that it was not. But on that note does it really matter. They were a real group and they were the only survivors and they were in a horrid war fighting for us I see no need to demote their accomplishments
Initially, I thought this CGI was going to be terrible, but it turned out to be very respectful. I had a very good friend of mine (now deceased) who was a pilot in WW2 and would tell me about the ball turret gunners. He looked into the distance and told me most of the time they would come back as sauce to be hosed out. If we can learn anything, war, is not the answer.
I am genuinely blown away by the production quality of these new videos. The old ones have a certain charm to them, but these are what I would expect from a major film studio not a youtube channel. Bravo to the writing, animation, and voice over teams for an amazing experience.
I remember 4 years ago during quarantine, watching the video of Alan Turing, and the bf109 sparing the b17.. and now this is where we are, with top tier animations, story telling, and editing. Thank you for bringing us history and keeping history alive!
My mother had a cousin. Her first husband was a waist gunner on a B-17. He completed his tour and re-upped. Third mission, second tour and he was killed. With the availability of information today I was able to find exactly where his grave is, in Denmark.
If you’re unable to visit your ancestor and you know exactly what graveyard he’s buried at, go to FindAGrave and you can request a photo of his grave. Might sound strange but I’m a “stone nerd” in my country (Scotland), so I visit a LOT of old graveyards that have Neolithic, Pictish and Gaelic stones, and because I’m visiting a lot of old graveyards I’ll check FindAGrave to see if that graveyard has requests for photos. A lot of the time folk request military (commonwealth) grave photos and I’m more than happy to find the persons ancestor and get a photo for them. Just a thought if you’re unable to see your ancestors grave but would like to see it, it’s completely free :)
Strange how they went out to bomb a church to kill rail yard workers, and the mission ended have the most casualties in the 8th air forces history sounds like God was on the german side on this one
You guys did a far superior job of telling the story than Masters of the Air did. I think the difference was that you all cared more than the producers of the show did about these men. Thank you.
@@matthewbeach2669 I felt like Masters of the Air skimmed through it. It was hard to know what exactly was happening to all the crews since it only focuses on a few B-17s. I think all of the men are important and telling us how each crew got shot down, or at least who was recorded in flight logs gives a better feeling of remorse opposed to showing another CGI B17 getting shot up in the show.
@@keatonhugo6129 Hmm. Personally I think it did what it needed for the show. It didn't have a Yarnhub style narator to make it clear who was who and what was what. Covering any addational crews would have clogged up the flow and made it harder to understand. Getting up set at Master of the Air for not covering every crew is like getting upset at Yarnhub for not going into deep background of any of the crew. Not that kind of Media. Sense the show did do such a good handling of one's who where on screen, I didn't feel any disservice or lack of love to the men in the event being covered. Just a runtime that needed to be meet. Just a different form of media. Luckily for us we have Yarnhub a more documentary style media to also watch and enjoy, I think both did perfectly for there job for the kind of show that they are.
@@keatonhugo6129 Got to hear a number of the names of the planes and pilots lost in the interrogation, which I'd enjoyed, however this is consistent with Band of Brothers and the Pacific. Both of those were deeply cared about, and it shows, however they'd had to effectively condense the companies to craft a watchable piece of entertainment. Even as a seasoned watcher of Band of Brothers with intimate knowledge I still can catch myself hearing names I don't recognize. The showrunner Jonathan Orloff has posted a number of cool posts regarding production in "Masters of the Air Behind the Scenes" a facebook group, it's clear he cares about the 100th and the story, he'd been working on the adaption for 11 years. I ultimately liked the show but felt it had just tried to do and show too much in too little episodes. The production was done during lockdown, suffered multiple delays which could not have helped.
I cannot believe the graphics here !, i have watched this channel from day one,and now the graphics are up there with the latest COD,almost like watching a movie.😊
This channel is literally the best animated history channel on youtube. Never stop producing such amazing content, this is better than the vast majority of WW2 movies. And this is all historically accurate content, so I'm enjoying an amazing film while simultaneously learning about interesting historical events.
Glad you guys took extra time with this. Quality over consistency. Thank you guys for working so hard to produce such amazing content that keeps topping the previous in terms of quality. Please be sure the yarnhub crew isn't overworked or burnt out though!
What an incredible story of resilience and bravery! The "Bloody 100th" certainly earned its name on that fateful day. It's amazing to think about the courage these young officers displayed in the face of such daunting odds. Thank you for sharing this poignant piece of history!
@@jacobc722yeah, it’s bravery. War is inherently a nasty thing, and people have to do horrible things. It doesn’t change the fact that the actions of individuals in the face of death constitutes bravery. Bravery is not necessarily a moral concept.
@@certifiedfreeaboo3790 “have to do” yeah man those German babies were at the door of those airmen and I’m sure you’d say the same things about other groups of people who did horrible things and definitely not flip flop
@@jacobc722 no, even people I see as evil can still be brave. Once again, bravery is not about doing the right thing, but rather showing courage in the face of danger to yourself. Even if I disagree with a group of people, they can still be inherently brave. I am not defending the morality of the US for bombing civilians, but rather stating that the airmen were brave. Just like the Germans who went to fight them.
@@jacobc722 that’s not to say I don’t personally see the US airmen as heroes (I am biased, obviously). Wars are fought for the sake of the rich, old, and powerful. Everyone in the middle just suffers. And yes, it is a “have to do” situation. There are many severe punishments that can be brought against you for disobeying orders, especially during war time. People naturally value themselves and their groups more than others.
Half my honours degree concerned the US 8th AAF and the Bloody Hundredth are legendary in their annals. I have a .50 mounted on a plaque with their badge on it. Great movie!
My dad worked with the Box D in his time with the airforce, ofc it wasn't bombers but he was very happy to see the 100th getting the attention, especially that Box D in the show. Watching it with him was wonderful.
The more stories I hear from Yarnhub and the better detail they depict the faces to me really highlights the evil of war, and the desperation of ordinary men, and civilians.
These 3D animations are so good, it's easier now to understand what that war was like; instead of old Grandpa stories, Grandpa was a lot tougher than anybody gave him credit and it's a shame I can't hug him now...
Ive been watching you guys since i found you on UA-cam probably six or so years ago, whenever you started doing the animation’s….this channel is exceptional and does so much justice for these men on both sides. Keep it up please! And get history channel to pick you guys up ;)
holy crap, this animation is insane! I remember a few years ago, you guys have come so far! The story is also insane, I can’t imagine how it must feel to be the only survivor in that time.
You tell an amazing story...love the graphics and the research. Those American bomber pilots, including Canadians, Brits, Aussies and Kiwis were the bravest of the brave. A big shout out the Poles South Africans and Czechs as well!
This mission was the one that was shown in the recent TV series _Masters of the Air_ . This mission, along with the tragic Schweinfurt mission some time later, showed that without fighter escort, the American bombers were extremely vulnerable to fighters even with the massive defensive gun firepower.
Actually the Bombing Raid for Schweinfurt and Regensburg happened BEFORE the Bombing Raid to Münster Raid... The FIRST time they went to Schweinfurt and Regensburg was in August 17th, 1943 ... The second time they hit both cities was in October 14th, 1943, it became known as, "Black Thursday" ... So yeah...now you know!
@@Knowbody42 True, but just so we aint hatting on the P-47, (my fav warbird) there would have been fighter escort if it were not for the weather. had it been a squadron of P-51 in the same conditions there still would have been no escort on this mission
@@SteelCommanderCat The P-47 at the time didn't have the range to escort fighters all the way to the target, with a escort radius of only 375 miles. The P-51B/C had an escort radius of 520 miles, and that made it possible to escort bombers all the way to at least Berlin. Later P-47 models did have the range, but it required more internal fuel tankage and a more powerful engine.
@@Sacto1654 Toward some targets yes. until close to the end of the war, the P-47 did not have the range when flying from bases in England. However, to Munster, they did. There is a reason why they were scheduled to meet up with fighter escort in the Netherlands after all. But the plane in question doesn't matter that much here. Had the escort flyers had the range of a B-29, they still could not have taken off in the foil weather.
Wife's grandfather was a co-pilot in the 100th BG in 1944, never had a chance to talk to him about his experiences as he passed less than a year after we started dating. Luckily he finished his tour of duty...the plane he was on was lost some months after that. Disappeared into a cloud with one engine on fire, never seen again.
I had the honor of serving in the Square D squadron while serving in the US Air Force at RAF Mildenhall. I wasn't there serving next to them but was proud to carry on their legacy many many years later!
Respect to all those who died serving this country for the cause of freedom and security. I can't think of anything to honor these brave men enough. 🇺🇸
YARNHUB... muchisimas gracias!!! por poner el video en audio español, asi no nos tenemos que distraer con los subtitulos, y perdernos las imagenes tan buenas del video.. desde y,a apoyando tu canal con videos cada vez mejores, muy detallados con las historias de los personajes que vivieron esos momentos tan duros como la guerra.
The faces ans movements have improved a lot over time, same with the fragmemting of airplanes is very realistic than simply a big fireball. Really drives home how durable b17 were, 20mm with minengeschoss are no joke
I live about 60 minutes away from Thorpes Abbot which is called Station 139 during the war... It's an amazing museum and well worth a visit if you can.
This video is absolutely amazing! The storytelling and the animation really got me immersed and waiting for what was coming next. This is top-tier animating! Good job and keep it up!
You did an amazing job storing telling this even better than the mini series. You got a new subscriber. My dad was a nose gunner in the 93rd BG of the Mighty 8 / B24d, 35 mission at the end of WWII. They were shot / flack down twice with crash landings in fields. Fortunately in friendly territory.
Would you consider, making a Video about the Bomber Raids on the Oil refinery of Ploesti? It was a pretty heavy battle, everytime they even came in the direction of it, would be really cool
It's hard to believe that this is animation, there's too much detail! When i think of animation, i think of nicely detailed, with not too much detail. This looks like it was made in a movie studio! Keep this up Yarnhub I just love these videos!
Great visuals fabulous animation just feels like a high budget movie 🎥 ❤. I suggestion please make some videos on Indian wars and their brave hero love to see that ❤❤❤
The Bl oody 100 was known to the German Air Force and when encountered they made special attacks against them. Early in the war a B-17 from the 100th was damaged over Europe and had dropped their landing gear and flaps which is a sign of surrender. 3 bf-109s were escorting the B-17 to a German airfield when one of the B-17 gunners opened fired killing a German pilot. The other two bf-109 shot the B17 down. After that the Germans looked for the 100s paint markings. The incident is narated in the book Pathfinder Pioneer by Colonel Raymond E. Brim.

After mission 250, the group commander of the 100th had a breakdown on the ramp when none of his men returned.
He was hustled away before the men could see, and replaced.

Several groups were virtually wiped from the sky that day. Everyone knew it.

And while the Russians definitely did the most damage they still would have been crushed if the Germans didn't also have a war going in the West and South causing them to have less supplies to send to the East.
@salvadorvizcarra769Facts. Dudes like Quick 15 get mad when we say it but really, the Red Army basically singlehandedly smashed the Axis in Europe with little to no help.
Wow, this was incredible. It included details that Masters of the Air failed to mention, and it had the perfect balance of narration, sound effects, and voice acting. 10/10 YarnHub, you have nailed it once again. Thank you for all you hard work in honoring these heroes. Also, Deblasio was an absolute beast.
I read the caption and Immediately remembered the scene from Masters of the air. The Shock and despair in the eyes of the ground crew and staff said it all that day
Same
i remember that episode too, it was really something else
The zoom in on the bullets flying through the air and each saying “like, comment, subscribe” was brilliant and hilarious. Got a sub here mate! Good job!
As a subscriber from years ago, it's nice to see the evolution of your animation quality and production value over time. Absolutely brilliant!
You kind of aced Masters of the Air.
But the fact that some of the scenes directly mirror it masterpiece
Yea I was about to say, hey isn't that from masters of the air
was the first thing i noticed
3:41 was one that is very noticable, its in the opening of the show
@@narthdragon2237they copied it lol
The Bloody Hundreds Munster Raid.. Yes! I recommend everyone to watch the Masters Of The Air series, this story is potrayed there, along with any others
It had its moments, but the series just felt "lack luster" in a lot of categories. Character development, screenplay and a lot of CGI effects were just overall meh. I was disappointed as I am a very big WW2 aviation buff, and was really looking forward to this series when it was announced. And the editing/scene transitions were terrible too.
@@JakeOrion i dont really agree with you. Yes it wasnt quite on the level of band of Brothers, but other than that? Daamn was it a perfect series. I fell in love instantly with Buck and Bucky, some CGIs werent that great but overall, it blew my mind! 🤯 Dunno About the character development, for me it perfectly potraied the tragedy of losing so many crews, thats why you didnt have so much of the character development.
No idea About the editing, you must have watched wrong series, i had no problem with it😂
(and its definitely better than any video yarnhub will ever make, i dont mean that badly, its just a fact)
i watched the series 3 may be 4 times
more times are coming for sure
this one is gonna be a creed just like Band Of Brothers
@@KubFire Not knocking on you for liking it, it's just it wasn't truly focusing on the 100th. >>>SPOILERS AHEAD, STOP READING IF NOT WATCHED
@@JakeOrion tuskegee airmen, i gotta agree was toptier bullshit, forced to put just because black people womp womp. i fully agree with what you said, i just mean that what was depicted was depicted perfectly
The animations just keep improving every video. The detail involved and mix of narration and voice lines all go hand in hand to create masterpieces like this!
Harry Crosby’s book ‘A Wing and a Prayer’ is one of the best covering the Bloody 100th. My uncle was a waist gunner on the plane ‘Our Babe’, and I cherish the memories of him telling me this and many other stories about his air group. Great video and retelling of Rosie’s story.
My father inlaw was a waist gunner on a B17 in WWII. He told me stories that were terrifying 😳
The tail gunner is really saving the day!
Sorry, but it was a fantasy. What are the odds that one guy can get a twofer twice in one operation, not to mention a whole bunch of others? Not lilkely.
@@dougerrohmer ,considering the sheer scale that was WWII and the sheer amount of other,even more crazy things that have happened,it's not unlikely,but very much possible.
@@NareshSinghOctagon That's not how it works.
@@dougerrohmerThat is how it works. Improbable events will happen given enough chances.
@@dougerrohmer Its more then believeable that the germans fixated on a lone aircraft would be flying close, close enough to where they would collide if there were a sudden change in movement
Once again, you guys knocked it out of the park with this one! That was a hell of an adaptation of one of my favorite episodes of Masters of the Air! Keep it up and keep em flying!!
“Let’s rack em up and knock em down!”
21 minutes ago. It's absolutely amazing. Your stuff is already better, all documentaries made by big corporate giants simply because your stuff is a passionate project, keep up that absolutely amazing work.
i cant believe this kind of animation quality and story is put out every week by these guys. it was amazing to first see it in the Desert Storm video with the Abrams some months back. this channel is stunning.
Greatings from Munster, Germany .... never rooted so much for guys, that are bombing my home town.
I'm not sure about your photos of munster, but your story telling and enormous quality to make me understand the times and people is amazing. Thank you!
gay
Nobody won that battle. terrible for both sides.
So you cheer for war criminals, nice one.
@@mosuke5123 oh yes, when you tried to pull this in the other comment section, but you weren’t even smart enough to look up the Geneva conventions for the time period but you arnt smart enough to see what the actual war crimes and the time period are
You’re rooting for the men on a mission to explicitly kill civilians? This ended the lives of over 500 men, women, and children.
thank you for helping me on my b-17 project in social studies with your videos. you gave me stories and facts. you also helped me with already knowing stuff
I suggest you pick up the book Masters of the Air. I read it twice.
@@pontiacfan76i will thanks for the recommendation
I can't imagine the pain in the surviving pilots minds, or the sorrow in the crews hearts awaiting the 100ths return when they realized this was it when the one landed.
Hätten am besten erst gar nicht losfliegen sollen. Was ist mit dem Schmerz und der Trauer, der Überlebenden, nach den Bombenabwürfen?
It was extremely rare for a bomber to actually shoot down an attacking fighter and the fact that the royal flush shot down that many aircraft in one engagement is likely one of those tall tale war stories manufactured by the aircorp to put a spin on how badly the mission failed.
I mean with all due respect it is a possibility but it’s also a possibility that it was not. But on that note does it really matter. They were a real group and they were the only survivors and they were in a horrid war fighting for us I see no need to demote their accomplishments
exactly what I thought. The Germans fucked them hard, and its cringe to try to spin a positive twist to this debacle
That's exactly what happened.
The Germans are so good and heroic. People misconstrue what they were fighting for.
@@lexross1465I’d join the Germans today, they fought with a purpose, noble men.
Initially, I thought this CGI was going to be terrible, but it turned out to be very respectful. I had a very good friend of mine (now deceased) who was a pilot in WW2 and would tell me about the ball turret gunners. He looked into the distance and told me most of the time they would come back as sauce to be hosed out. If we can learn anything, war, is not the answer.
As soon as it started I got chills from it!
this is like a bloody movie good job yarnhub
My jaw dropped when I pressed play on the video. The production quality is better than a lot of movies! Absolutely incredible!
The graphics have gotten so good since this channel was started and i am proud of what this has become.
I'm honestly shocked at how far your production and animation quality has come over the years, this is amazing
I am genuinely blown away by the production quality of these new videos. The old ones have a certain charm to them, but these are what I would expect from a major film studio not a youtube channel. Bravo to the writing, animation, and voice over teams for an amazing experience.
I remember 4 years ago during quarantine, watching the video of Alan Turing, and the bf109 sparing the b17.. and now this is where we are, with top tier animations, story telling, and editing. Thank you for bringing us history and keeping history alive!
Same I think that was one of the first I've watched from this channel
My mother had a cousin. Her first husband was a waist gunner on a B-17. He completed his tour and re-upped.
Third mission, second tour and he was killed.
With the availability of information today I was able to find exactly where his grave is, in Denmark.
If you’re unable to visit your ancestor and you know exactly what graveyard he’s buried at, go to FindAGrave and you can request a photo of his grave. Might sound strange but I’m a “stone nerd” in my country (Scotland), so I visit a LOT of old graveyards that have Neolithic, Pictish and Gaelic stones, and because I’m visiting a lot of old graveyards I’ll check FindAGrave to see if that graveyard has requests for photos. A lot of the time folk request military (commonwealth) grave photos and I’m more than happy to find the persons ancestor and get a photo for them. Just a thought if you’re unable to see your ancestors grave but would like to see it, it’s completely free :)
Salute.
Cap
@@Thatdomunisguy you're saying cap to a tradegy that might've actually happened?
@@meg2001 it could happen but like 3 people are saying there grandpa was in Ww2 tho so he could be faking
Strange how they went out to bomb a church to kill rail yard workers, and the mission ended have the most casualties in the 8th air forces history sounds like God was on the german side on this one
You guys did a far superior job of telling the story than Masters of the Air did. I think the difference was that you all cared more than the producers of the show did about these men. Thank you.
I don't know looked about the same covarge and care to me. Master of the Air did pretty great job. I loved both equeally.
@@matthewbeach2669 I felt like Masters of the Air skimmed through it. It was hard to know what exactly was happening to all the crews since it only focuses on a few B-17s. I think all of the men are important and telling us how each crew got shot down, or at least who was recorded in flight logs gives a better feeling of remorse opposed to showing another CGI B17 getting shot up in the show.
@@keatonhugo6129 Hmm. Personally I think it did what it needed for the show. It didn't have a Yarnhub style narator to make it clear who was who and what was what. Covering any addational crews would have clogged up the flow and made it harder to understand. Getting up set at Master of the Air for not covering every crew is like getting upset at Yarnhub for not going into deep background of any of the crew. Not that kind of Media. Sense the show did do such a good handling of one's who where on screen, I didn't feel any disservice or lack of love to the men in the event being covered. Just a runtime that needed to be meet. Just a different form of media. Luckily for us we have Yarnhub a more documentary style media to also watch and enjoy, I think both did perfectly for there job for the kind of show that they are.
@@keatonhugo6129 Got to hear a number of the names of the planes and pilots lost in the interrogation, which I'd enjoyed, however this is consistent with Band of Brothers and the Pacific. Both of those were deeply cared about, and it shows, however they'd had to effectively condense the companies to craft a watchable piece of entertainment. Even as a seasoned watcher of Band of Brothers with intimate knowledge I still can catch myself hearing names I don't recognize.
The showrunner Jonathan Orloff has posted a number of cool posts regarding production in "Masters of the Air Behind the Scenes" a facebook group, it's clear he cares about the 100th and the story, he'd been working on the adaption for 11 years.
I ultimately liked the show but felt it had just tried to do and show too much in too little episodes. The production was done during lockdown, suffered multiple delays which could not have helped.
Masters of the Air did a fantastic job with this almost unbelievable story, and somehow your telling is even more impressive.
I cannot believe the graphics here !, i have watched this channel from day one,and now the graphics are up there with the latest COD,almost like watching a movie.😊
it is from a movie or tv series called masters of the air
The production of these videos is top notch. Thank you!
This channel is literally the best animated history channel on youtube. Never stop producing such amazing content, this is better than the vast majority of WW2 movies. And this is all historically accurate content, so I'm enjoying an amazing film while simultaneously learning about interesting historical events.
Glad you guys took extra time with this. Quality over consistency. Thank you guys for working so hard to produce such amazing content that keeps topping the previous in terms of quality. Please be sure the yarnhub crew isn't overworked or burnt out though!
What an incredible story of resilience and bravery! The "Bloody 100th" certainly earned its name on that fateful day. It's amazing to think about the courage these young officers displayed in the face of such daunting odds. Thank you for sharing this poignant piece of history!
Bravery while targeting civilians ? Like oh yeah man they ran through flak to kill those kids
@@jacobc722yeah, it’s bravery. War is inherently a nasty thing, and people have to do horrible things. It doesn’t change the fact that the actions of individuals in the face of death constitutes bravery. Bravery is not necessarily a moral concept.
@@certifiedfreeaboo3790 “have to do” yeah man those German babies were at the door of those airmen and I’m sure you’d say the same things about other groups of people who did horrible things and definitely not flip flop
@@jacobc722 no, even people I see as evil can still be brave. Once again, bravery is not about doing the right thing, but rather showing courage in the face of danger to yourself. Even if I disagree with a group of people, they can still be inherently brave. I am not defending the morality of the US for bombing civilians, but rather stating that the airmen were brave. Just like the Germans who went to fight them.
@@jacobc722 that’s not to say I don’t personally see the US airmen as heroes (I am biased, obviously). Wars are fought for the sake of the rich, old, and powerful. Everyone in the middle just suffers. And yes, it is a “have to do” situation. There are many severe punishments that can be brought against you for disobeying orders, especially during war time. People naturally value themselves and their groups more than others.
This Quality is extreme! Definetly keep producing like this, your videos are better than most TV Documentaries!
The lighting and animation on this is incredible!! Fantastic job as always yarnhub!
Half my honours degree concerned the US 8th AAF and the Bloody Hundredth are legendary in their annals. I have a .50 mounted on a plaque with their badge on it. Great movie!
My dad worked with the Box D in his time with the airforce, ofc it wasn't bombers but he was very happy to see the 100th getting the attention, especially that Box D in the show. Watching it with him was wonderful.
Wow
Your episodes are truly amazing.
I have watched them all and your
getting better than any TV shows out there.
Keep up the fantastic work .
The more stories I hear from Yarnhub and the better detail they depict the faces to me really highlights the evil of war, and the desperation of ordinary men, and civilians.
My great grandad served in Black Watch Regiment during WW2, I can't imagine the deeds each and every person endured and I respect them for it.
These 3D animations are so good, it's easier now to understand what that war was like; instead of old Grandpa stories, Grandpa was a lot tougher than anybody gave him credit and it's a shame I can't hug him now...
I remember this from masters of the air. You
should watch it if you haven't yet
Such a good show
I'm sure that's where the inspiration came from :p some scenes are almost shot for shot
The Munster raid was actually my favorite episode from the series
@@Joze1090 He has recreated scenes from movies like Dunkirk so I believe it
Ive been watching you guys since i found you on UA-cam probably six or so years ago, whenever you started doing the animation’s….this channel is exceptional and does so much justice for these men on both sides. Keep it up please! And get history channel to pick you guys up ;)
Amazing work! Stunning visuals and story telling as always! Got chills again
holy crap, this animation is insane! I remember a few years ago, you guys have come so far! The story is also insane, I can’t imagine how it must feel to be the only survivor in that time.
You tell an amazing story...love the graphics and the research. Those American bomber pilots, including Canadians, Brits, Aussies and Kiwis were the bravest of the brave. A big shout out the Poles South Africans and Czechs as well!
This mission was the one that was shown in the recent TV series _Masters of the Air_ . This mission, along with the tragic Schweinfurt mission some time later, showed that without fighter escort, the American bombers were extremely vulnerable to fighters even with the massive defensive gun firepower.
And then they designed the P51 Mustang to have enough range to escort bombers over enemy territory.
Actually the Bombing Raid for Schweinfurt and Regensburg happened BEFORE the Bombing Raid to Münster Raid...
The FIRST time they went to Schweinfurt and Regensburg was in August 17th, 1943 ...
The second time they hit both cities was in October 14th, 1943, it became known as, "Black Thursday" ...
So yeah...now you know!
@@Knowbody42 True, but just so we aint hatting on the P-47, (my fav warbird) there would have been fighter escort if it were not for the weather. had it been a squadron of P-51 in the same conditions there still would have been no escort on this mission
@@SteelCommanderCat The P-47 at the time didn't have the range to escort fighters all the way to the target, with a escort radius of only 375 miles. The P-51B/C had an escort radius of 520 miles, and that made it possible to escort bombers all the way to at least Berlin. Later P-47 models did have the range, but it required more internal fuel tankage and a more powerful engine.
@@Sacto1654 Toward some targets yes. until close to the end of the war, the P-47 did not have the range when flying from bases in England. However, to Munster, they did. There is a reason why they were scheduled to meet up with fighter escort in the Netherlands after all. But the plane in question doesn't matter that much here. Had the escort flyers had the range of a B-29, they still could not have taken off in the foil weather.
Wife's grandfather was a co-pilot in the 100th BG in 1944, never had a chance to talk to him about his experiences as he passed less than a year after we started dating. Luckily he finished his tour of duty...the plane he was on was lost some months after that. Disappeared into a cloud with one engine on fire, never seen again.
A gut wrenching story, now it’s one of my favorites
Awesome video rest in peace to all of the b-17 crew members who died during world war 2
I had the honor of serving in the Square D squadron while serving in the US Air Force at RAF Mildenhall. I wasn't there serving next to them but was proud to carry on their legacy many many years later!
Respect to all those who died serving this country for the cause of freedom and security. I can't think of anything to honor these brave men enough. 🇺🇸
Once again, you all have done an amazing job with this video. Thank you for sharing this story.
YARNHUB... muchisimas gracias!!! por poner el video en audio español,
asi no nos tenemos que distraer con los subtitulos, y perdernos las imagenes tan buenas del video..
desde y,a apoyando tu canal con videos cada vez mejores, muy detallados con las historias de los personajes que vivieron esos momentos tan duros como la guerra.
These series of videos and their narratives are fantastic. So realistic.
The faces ans movements have improved a lot over time, same with the fragmemting of airplanes is very realistic than simply a big fireball. Really drives home how durable b17 were, 20mm with minengeschoss are no joke
I live about 60 minutes away from Thorpes Abbot which is called Station 139 during the war... It's an amazing museum and well worth a visit if you can.
Literally a masters of the air episode with Rosie's plane last in.
amazing vid yarnhub i was there for the entirety of the premiere this one is definitely in my top 10
This video is absolutely amazing! The storytelling and the animation really got me immersed and waiting for what was coming next. This is top-tier animating! Good job and keep it up!
Im impressed with the video quality, the scenes and all, amazing work
A big improvement good job yarnhub👏👏👏
we literally get a movie like every week this is amazing
13:47 this made me cry
Great story and great animation, looks almost like real life! Amazing story, love your channel, thank you.
You did an amazing job storing telling this even better than the mini series. You got a new subscriber. My dad was a nose gunner in the 93rd BG of the Mighty 8 / B24d, 35 mission at the end of WWII. They were shot / flack down twice with crash landings in fields. Fortunately in friendly territory.
my man the animation is top notch like always
Would you consider, making a Video about the Bomber Raids on the Oil refinery of Ploesti? It was a pretty heavy battle, everytime they even came in the direction of it, would be really cool
This is better than masters of the air
This is better quality than anything else available on the Internet to date! Subscribed!
It's hard to believe that this is animation, there's too much detail! When i think of animation, i think of nicely detailed, with not too much detail. This looks like it was made in a movie studio! Keep this up Yarnhub I just love these videos!
1:20 sounds like fnaf 1 telephone guy
Bs
Your CGI was better than what “Masters of the air” came up with. Nicely done.
00:50 - Hans, are we the baddies?
el mejor canal y el mejor contenido, ayer lo descubrí y me estoy viendo todos los videos cuando trabajo ... felicitaciones
People like us appreciate UA-cam uploaders who spend so many days or weeks making a single video.
Great visuals fabulous animation just feels like a high budget movie 🎥 ❤. I suggestion please make some videos on Indian wars and their brave hero love to see that ❤❤❤
3:44 'subscribe' 'like' 'comment' are some of the most deadly types of munition we use these days.
That was one great turret gunner on the surviving plane
What a huge set of balls these young men had. May they all rest in peace. And gentlemen you are my hero’s!
The Bl oody 100 was known to the German Air Force and when encountered they made special attacks against them. Early in the war a B-17 from the 100th was damaged over Europe and had dropped their landing gear and flaps which is a sign of surrender. 3 bf-109s were escorting the B-17 to a German airfield when one of the B-17 gunners opened fired killing a German pilot. The other two bf-109 shot the B17 down. After that the Germans looked for the 100s paint markings. The incident is narated in the book Pathfinder Pioneer by Colonel Raymond E. Brim.
11:10 two birds with one stone.
I did not know yarnhub was secretly the creator of Masters of the Air
Me neither😂
