@@ziepex7009 If they created the holocaust with unbelievable technology of the time. Presumably they still have extraordinary technology today. Then the question is: If they hated Jews then or not and do they still hate Jews now. Btw what? they went to school and learned not to hate Jews? Theyve been reformed? Can you ask a better question?
The accuracy of the F1 was only about 7 miles so it wasn't much use against airfields or factories only cities like London. The British used double agents to report impacts in North London to give the impression they were over shooting their target, this caused the Germans to adjust the settings so many fell in open countryside to the south of London.
They had to let some hit the targets, as well as not notify people in rural areas or near none military targets, and let them get hit by v1,v2, and German bombers because if they excavated or defended them…the Germans would realize the uk figured it the enigma machine and codes as well indicated where there was a spy in the chain of command
The interesting thing is I thought that they used a ramjet for propulsion and that a ramjet only works when it is in motion yet the film clearly shows the engine running when the bomb is sitting stationary on the launch ramp so clearly I was wrong.
The engine is a pulse jet, burning gasoline. There is a chamber with a spark plug and a restricted exhaust and works on the Otto cycle. At the front is the intake with a open/close vane which is timed with the cycle of the engine. It uses very few parts and all parts are easy to manufacture. Very good concept, the first cruise missile.
@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 Yes I looked it up after I made the comment, there are some interesting videos on the pulse jet. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I don't speak German but at 9:13 the cartoon animation shows the V1 cutting the wire cables of the barrage balloons with "cable cutters" on the leading edge of the wings on the V1.
All of the original launch ramps were destroyed in early 1944 by bombing, they were replaced by launch ramps in close proximity to towns or villages in the hope they would not get bombed, after that Spitfires were used for very accurate dive bombing using 250 or 500 lb bombs, of over 10,000 launched many were shot down by the RAF and many more by AA guns, only a quarter got past and many of those missed London.
I think I learned some things here. Never thought about the catapult much, have heard something about "steam", but didn't think about it. I had no idea that the steam was generated on the spot! Narrator seemed to be talking about "T-stoff"? It's looking like they sprayed some high test hydrogen peroxide in there and it turned into steam? I've been hearing about this system my whole life, but just now starting to see some pictures.
I know this comment is 3 years old, but to clarify: He was talking about Treibstoff (fuel) and Zersetzerstoff (decomposer) to create steam. This is used to propel the V1 forward on the catapult. They are filled in separately and you have to be careful, because when they come in contact, there will be a violent reaction creating steam. Also when the Treibstoff comes into contact with the Benzin (gasoline) and dirt there’s a big fire hazard.
Worth considering- since its accuracy was so bad it could not be used as a tactical military weapon, its only use was as a terror weapon against concentrated civilian targets, cities like London. That use alone makes its use a war crime. Excellent engineering or not, cost effective or not, morally it should never have been made or used.
That's how we see it today, but back then the whole world didn't have much sense of such a thing. And even today, all of this is often ignored, depending on whether the good or the bad side uses terror. The ways and means are still sanctified when it is for something supposedly good.
That's why they didn't win the war , their equipment was crazy complex and impractical. Yea it was incredibly advanced and paved the way for future innovations, but just wasnt practical enough then.
They were insanely inaccurate for the longest time because the wind would make them flip mid flight, however, the Germans eventually fixed this by notching the end of the wings.
I had never seen this before. Thank you for posting this great piece of history
Rocket launch is on 6:00 and 7:20
Thank
Amazing piece of German war time engineering.
Yes. Whats truly unsettling is their engineering ability matched with a hatred for the Jews. What, did they suddenly stop hating Jews?
Killing people

@Loli4lyf thats true but the compressed oxygen powered the gyrocompass and not the engine

intriguing for 1940s technology

lets be honest
the nazis were technologically way ahead of any other country
and thats waaaaaaay ahead
No. Every country had projects similar to what Germany had at the time. Germany was simply the first to put these concepts into practice.
ÓTIMO DOCUMENTÁRIO, BRASIL OK.

The V1 and even more so the V2 where a great success they just came to late in the war.
The first man-made object to reach space was a V-2
