- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- The traditions of the German Air Force date back to the First World War. Daredevil fighter pilots like the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen achieved cult status and were celebrated as heroes. In the Second World War, the Luftwaffe was an indispensable instrument for carrying out the "Blitzkrieg". Civilian targets were also bombed mercilessly. The new Bundeswehr air force is now an integral part of NATO's defense structure and secures the West's air sovereignty.

I am German myself and it is so impressive how much support and encouragement you get about our quality, uniforms and so on. I have to say quite honestly...I am proud
There’s just something to be said about German engineering! Beautiful!
The Eurofighter is a collaboration between the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.
@@tomasinacovell4293 Yes, stupidity on someone part!
Thank you for your service.
Sometimes - have you seen a Trabant? ;) 😂
@@tomasinacovell4293 it’s WW1 fighter ace Max Immelmann not Hitler lol
Excellent. German fighter pilots and their crews have long been admired for their supreme quality, abilities, and bravery. German engineering speaks for itself also. Quality.
Until they came up against the British Spitfire that shot the Nazis Luftwaffe out of the sky and save Britain and Europe.
Don't go over the top. We beat them in the Battle of Britain with better pilots, better planes and better infrastructure technology. Also, the Germans have never been world leaders in aviation technology or in the aviation industry.
@@adielstephenson2929 and yet where is the British automotive industry? Owned by Germany and India. Cope harder Bong
@@adielstephenson2929 You guys could not survive without help from the USA
@@edcerna2226 What help?
I am impressed at how the The German Army always has PhD personnel as part of their staff.
I cannot believe the man of colour praising a German as if Germany had succeeded during World War 2 there would be no dark skinned humans have you thought about that they are a bunch of rac*st I would like to put you back into those days your eyes would definitely be glowing white with fear.
It's almost like they put education up as something important and not just cater to the lower socioeconomic class as cannon fodder
@@commissarlorax3406 that's all of lower classes are cannon fodder never fight for your country because you are only extendable so why bother let the leaders fight it out themselves if that's all we are we should do nothing to each other we are not enemies governments are enemies
The best uniforms ever,
Massive respect for these guys,
If you refer to 59:35, it is a General of the Luftwaffe Uniform - the gold on red oakleave patches are reserved for generals, so the boss can be spoted from distance.
Amazing ...I will bet this is the first time they have even THOUGHT about being ready in 30 years
When they have spend a billion euros rebuilding their forces and impoverished their population while doing so, who will then vote for the biggest right wing extremist fascist or nazists out there, Europe will once again learn how ready Germany is for warfare. It is time to practise stretching our right arms again now we have allowed Germany to break with their neutral status.
True, they never really had to worry, America will take care of it. I'm glad to see they finally got off their asses
Well that´s not really the true picture.
German Airforce has already been fighting on many places. But that´s what had to be hidden a lot for some good reasons sometimes in the past.
However GAF Combat Wing 1 already took some main roles (first in, last out etc.) for recce missions and to make gap in the enemy ground to air defence (what was key for all following allied forces for f.x. airstrikes) in for example UNPF, IFOR, SFOR, KFOR missions. I know cause I was part of that squadrone.
So we got "our asses off" for loooong time already.
And our fighting buddys from all the other allied nations incl. USAF, RAF, ..... will agree 100%.
At the end of the Balkan war they (especially the USAF) statet they never want to attack without the GAF RECCE´s and ECR´s again ..... wherever it may be in the future.
Then came Afghanistan and so on and so on....
After the kicking they got and deserved from the British and the mighty Spitfire and the courage and tenacity of the British people that wer vastly Outnumbered but still conquered Germany and the Skies Over Britain and Europe made the Luftwaffe look like a bunch of lost school boys totally defeated them out class them out engineered them and out thought them in every possible way imaginable 2 Hitler's horror and America was never attacked by Germany this is why you people are sympathetic towards them there is nothing to admire about Germany in World War 2 and to this day they were the last people to join in and help Ukraine Britain was the first to help as usual bravest and toughest people on the face of the earth second to no one
@@Bok2022st What in the world are you talking about? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Imagine pinning the victory of the allies on Britain who only survived because of its navy. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fought against them in Europe and lost. Fought against them in Africa and almost lost if not for the assistance of others. Fought against them near Greece and lost. Sent troop to the USSR to assist allies and lost right up until Winter came and bailed both militaries out. Come back here when the UK can actually defend itself and/or its allies without relying 100% of the time on the fact that there is water to between them and the rest of Europe. I mean even in the Falklands war where they admittedly performed well they only survived because of the issues that were already going on in Argentina in addition to the fact that there was water between Argentina and the islands.
I mean...even Napoleon would have conquered Britain if not for that water...what are you even thinking 😂😂😂😂😂
As for the thing with Ukraine, Germany has valid reasons for not going against Ukraine. Unlike Britain who has the Americans to bail them out if they fk up, Germany is screwed if Russia cuts all exports to them. Sure, the closer summer gets the less of an issue this becomes but you seem to not understand that Europe experiences winter and winter = cold and cold = dead people without adequate heating and that heating comes from electricity which is substantially being provided through the use of gas, Russian gas. So no. Additionally, Germany has no strategic reasons (other than supporting what America wants) to align with Ukraine. They have nothing to gain from it outside of politics but have everything to lose by opposing Russia. In any case, they have taken a bold step forward so far and only time will tell how things go. However, I bet you won't be laughing if Germany remilitarises as you seemingly want only to conquer Europe again 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
WWII is history. All great nations have a past, including Britain. Lessons learned. Let's be brothers and work together to protect Europe and keep the peace. Respect to this very highly professional and capable air force.
As a german guy I'm with you. Hope we will stay friends forever 🤝🏻😎
@@Sunbiker1974, for sure. The Germans are great and good people and I have always admired them, particularly when I worked in Germany on two occasions. As nations, we make a very good team and have a lot in common. Leaders on both sides come and go. Let the people always work together and remain good friends for all time :)
Yes MINDFUL OF HISTORY ….. NO MORE BROTHERS WARS EVER AGAIN !!
@@oceanhome2023 agree. We are now brothers and sisters 😊
If you read the industry accord after WW 1 there was a major collaboration initiative with regards to steelworks industry plans between German, France and England, it was headed by several developers who wanted to focus on trade routes and railway developments, Poland, Romania and Ukraine would have been the granaries of Europe that would have fed this massive scale project,
Even Junker was on the accords, but then the Great Depression happen
glad to see germany not going to waste. i just hope we will always be friends now , as we have so many german americans in our country. half our population has at least one german ancestor. respectable people and i always thought that black cross was cool.

Recap by Tammy AI
I think that the actual combat capability of the German Luftwaffe is extremely marginal and would only be able to counter a small threat for a very short time. One must not confuse a "promotional film" with reality.
You miss the point. WELT is about German engineering. The guys who do these documentaries are engineering nerds. I congratulate them.
... for now.
Their military budget is about to blow up. They'll be the 3rd largest military spender behind only the US and China.
Your also wrong about the luftwaffe but the guy above me is right
You are correct....this other guy is caught up in his feelings...however with the recent commitment in funding they can be great again
@@sanynava9160 with that recent budget increase luftwaffe will buy additional 35 pieces of F35 from the US.
It's time to let Germany build up its military again.. They have always been one of the most powerful and technologically advanced militaries in the world.. NATO would be so much stronger and the US wouldn't have to spend as much.. If Germany had a good ally in ww2, they probably would have won
They had, it was called Japan

Is it cuz you knew them differently from back then?
@@RoseRose-nt4ju no its because they were giving out candy in ww2

I'm with you on that! My Grandfather fought the Germans at the battle of the bulge!
I noted that General Gerhartz is wearing USAF Command Pilot wings on his right breast pocket, clearly indicative of where he trained along with many Luftwaffe pilots.
@@kevin-parratt-artist Oh you think we in the USA don’t speak multiple languages? There are numerous languages spoken here. French, Korean, Deutsch and English by many of my friends and family. USAF 21 years.

@@NickTheQuick82 Let me remind you which air force won the war over Europe in WWII again...
Outstanding informative video 🧐👍👌🚀 Cheers 🍻
The Greatest ever in History.
Awesome doco. Danke Luftwaffe, Deutschland und NATO.
While I was stationed in West Germany (just prior to reunification), I was amazed at the Bundeswehr training and tactics. I got the chance to watch the Luftwaffe pilots do some training also. I was pleasantly surprised after I got out of the Army, and started driving a semi OTR. I passed by Holloman AFB near Alamogordo NM, and saw a bunch of German F-4 Phantom II's on the ground, right next to our AF fighters.
USA and Germany Allies from now forever 💪
Yes, prior to reunification....
Germans are great engineers.
Apparently not, over half their planes aren't flightworthy
Scary to know that they COULD have won WW2 with their advanced technology.
@@MrMJmusicLover people say that was due to reverse engineering of alien technology…just like the US does.
@@raevj Aliens crash landed in Germany? 🤔
@@pottierkurt1702 they are great engineers they just rather not spend money on defense they've been skimping on it since the 1990s it wasn't until the 2014 they hiked they're spending to meet NATO's 2% of GDP Target
Freedom is not free. It’s always good to be prepared, from both foreign and domestic sinister forces. Vielen Dank!
it is funny to me this especially when freedom of speech , it is used by M T G on her witness stand defending herself .
Did the British teach you those words it was when you attacked us and we beat you we will always look at you the same as we always have make no mistake
People of Europe have suffered deeply in much their history since the establishment of Greek civilization-the violence of Romans, the Vikings, terrible wars of religion, conquests, world War I & World War II, plus half a century of Cold War. When will they have enough sorrow? Yet their leaders don’t seem to face the fact that in the face of a nuclear war, NATO’s might is insignificant. How wonderful it would be if world leaders woke up & established a global alliance that would ensure security for the ENTIRE world.
@A p Yes, but can they now come to their senses & move from warlike to a peaceful society? All the world's people should help in this movement.
@@healinghumanity1782 They have too much testosterone
@@misterbig9025 When the house is on fire, there is no time to play!!

Lovely
Ols make more Navy and air force stuff
Interesting to hear the statistics of the fighter, but I'd like to hear how this compares to the statistics of potential enemy planes.
I'm of Dutch decent so I don't know why I like to see the German Cross on the planes, it's a powerful symbol and I'm glad that at last we are all on the same side, and how we (the western and other democracies) are benefitting/prospering from kinship.
@Shawn 🏴☠️ Stafford Yes they are evocative along with the 'bullseye' of the British I suppose and I wasn't ever a part of that time!
So I'm surprised that it's emotional for me in a good way, like seeing the cavalry coming over the horizon. . . . Goodness WTF. is that all about?
@@johnzuijdveld9585 Those who advocate you lived before or memories passed down in your genes! I have strange things like that also!
The blood is strong
i agree !!!! glad to see that cross and germany has joined us. hope it is always that way. We are indeed brothers, cousins, kin.
@@johnzuijdveld9585 i think the bullseye is not a good idea. after all it is just like a TARGET.
Love Britain and love the British people and love the mighty Spitfire that saved England and Europe from German Luftwaffe. now that's something to be proud of go the mighty Britz
Go cry elsewhere....this isn't what this documentary is about
Britain deserves to be nuked
@@sanynava9160 go cry somewhere else Nazi don't think the world as forgotten. German atrocities
Maybe if the britts kept letting Hitler take more and more there would have been no ww2 so thanks
Excellent.documetary.well.done.✓
God bless everyone.🙏.
45:17 JG71Richthofen you can see the black tulip from Erich Hartmann on the noses of the airplanes.
Really enjoyed this 🙂thankz
German engineering is the best tolerances are very close and very well made for the long run!
Do you drive German car, Sir?
Doesn't do much sitting in the hangar when Ukranians are being slaughtered.
Their exceptional engineering cost them dearly in WW2. Designing a tank to last 100,000 miles when Russia was mass producing the crude, but effective T-34 overwhelmed the superior but slowly produced Panzers and Tigers.
@@misterbig9025 no I go not I drive a Chevy Silverado 2001 she works well after all these years, my friend drives a foreign car with problems big time.
Wow, I 0 am really impressed about this particular aircraft. Of this German Aircraft
Awesome documentary and pilots……
The German air force started more than 6 decades ago....Um that is an understatement.
The Luftwaffe is legend: Past, Present and Future
Man, the F-104 was an insane plane. It used the same engine as the SR-71, was designed like a needle. with what had to be the smallest wings ever put on a plane. No wonder so many German's died during training exercises.
The F-104 still fly's today, yea, it helps launching small satellites into space by flying to 90,000Km, giving the rocket attached to it a great leap into space, turning the F-104 into a true StarFighter.
*90,000 Ft./ 30 KM or it can zoom Climb to 120,000 Ft/ 40 KM
Also SR-71 uses Pratt & Whitney J 58 Producing 32,500 Lbs Thrust Vs. F-104 uses General Electric J 79 Producing 11,900 Lbs Dry / 17,900 Lbs W/Afterburner.
Allot of American pilots died in the 104 bc Lockheed new it was junk they got caught paying congress off to vote there planes in many times
1:24 the pilot inserts the key to start the plane.
Duuuh, how else are you supposed to start one?
i personally prefer keys to start things.
@@chaowingchinghongfingshong3109 and i support kalergi plan
You trained young German pilots? Well the Germans invented the jet plane, they were waiting for you to teach them to fly it.
A few Germans..soon to be brand new Americans invented the jet.
@@kellytourigny4228 No. The Germans did. Messerschmitt Me 262
The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.
@@MrMJmusicLover He's ESL. I think he's saying the Germans will now be flying Yankee jets against common threats.
Yes and we Americans invented the airplane in 1903
Very important and necessary documentary chronicle.
Great The luftwaffe !
Beautiful
I'm Happy to Know they're on our Side now 🇨🇦🇩🇪
The German contribution to this world had been remarkable lets all hope because Germany does produce extraordinary people and engineering they don't produce the extraordinary evil again.
Turkey's Bayraktar TB-2 proving to be " man of the match " !
Ok thanks very Educational
It's propaganda video
They’re going to have to step it up a notch theses days. They have too few.
You are right. The Luftwaffe will get F-35s... we just don't know how long this will take. And as far as I understood it, they're also planning to purchase more Typhoons/Eurofighters. But it is going to take time. You simply cannot fix something in a short amount of time that has been broken for close to twenty, maybe even thirty years.
Very good air force in europe.
I like this strong fighters jets
General Gerhartz' comment about rapid deployment rings differently after he just personally led a squadron of Eurofighters to the Indo-Pacific within 24 hours a couple days ago.
popping Adderall, grabbing helmet, running 5 football fields to jet to only climb ladder with jello legs
Thease are the best planes of all.exelent maintained thease will evolve faster,and better.Very good engineered germany.
Correction they are NOT maintained at all that is why less than Half are available and less than a Third of Helicopters are available. That is why the Germans asked for the UK to GIVE Germany, Free of Charge, its retiring Tornadoes because Germany BOUGHT NO SPARES. Uranus Von Der Liaring, as German defence Minister, did not see any need for "spare parts". Now she wants to Head Up an EU Armed Forces without any spare parts to save money????
I have always admired the German Luftwaffe and the fact they had panavia tornadoes on their books - fantastic !
Having lived most of my life during the Cold War..it would be great to see Germany rule the European skies again ! Go Germany 🇩🇪 from 🇺🇸
good day ! I am German and would like to explain something to you!
Please look at aerial photos of the cities of East Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, from the year 1988, and please compare these photos with photos taken in 2022!
You will notice that the pictures from 1988 look like the ones from 1945!
After reunification in 1990, we had to rebuild the entire former GDR! That was expensive and is still not complete!
Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Lithuania and Estonia ...we also supported .....we had to save money somewhere! So in the military !!!!!
If you are American, a little hint Germany fits 2x in Texas ... it's a small country!
This is just bullshit from the finest. Why you tell people such an utterly crap? Photos from 45 look the same as 89...yeah sure. You probably never seen pictures from what you talking about. And I take every bet that you're a west german! People like you are the problem with the unification of Germany and probably still have a Wall in the Head! We build it by ourselves and all the example city's you talked about were already restored before the wall was build and Germany was divided. Thanks to the Marshall Plan and not thanks to west Germany 🤦♂️ Grow up Dude and become adult! Sheessshh
Better hope this ages well
Hell yeah
There is no detailed information about WW1 and WW2

Ford is building antiques!
glad to hear this
I sincerely hope that this long awaited return from a 30 year holiday for the German military, and their Air Force in particular, is not a short time experiment, and that Germany will take on a role within the NATO alliance that is in line with the economic and political power they wield on the world's stage.
Despite all the mistakes and blunders of the American foreign policy, Western nations have always benefited from the security and support that the US military provided to Europe in the last 80 years.
Although Russia is the most immediate security challenge, especially for the European Union, our cross Atlantic partnership and cooperation will have to grow to be able to play a role in keeping the international law based order in the face of a belligerent China. And although Pacific and East Asia seem like distant potential geographical points of conflict, the effects of those conflicts could have massive repercussion for the EU.
Strategic blunders of multiple German administrations have positioned Germany in a terrible spot regarding the energy dependence on a dictatorial Putin's regime. Finally Germany has taken the view of "realpolitik" so famously followed by the first German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and I hope this change will continue after Putin looses the war of aggression.
Oh if u slept in a cave the peak of nato commitment was within the 80s beginning 90s. Blame the 90s and the british resentiment to cut the the german army up to 340k members in the 2+4 treaty. because they still feared us. with the gdr army we were the second largest army well trained on both west and east block fighter jets.
only 30 years???
52.16, shot of a Jaguar taking off, swiftly followed by clips of Tornado, leading into the Tornado story. Some people have trouble identifying aircraft, thats why we see a clip of a Jaguar, which never had any place in a history of the Luftwaffe, when it should have been clip of a Tornado taking off.
If you see skull and cross bones insignia appearing on their uniform you’ll know something is up
Dont fear little Baby. This time we will fight together.
They went to Harvard?⚡⚡☠❓
Do a the same video about the swedish airforce
This is a German perspective on the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). I don't think WELT has the resources, desire or access to the Swedish Airforce. Germany is cultivating its martial culture once more, as is Japan. German citizens will become more interested in the military again, and the Luftwaffe is the most important branch of their armed forces. If nothing else, it's the nuclear-sharing that is critical for German security and the enforcement of NATO's Mutual Defense Clause (Article 5). If you're curious, the B-61 is the ordnance that can carry a nuclear warhead. Nuclear weapons are always a part of modern warfare calculus
love the German's gut. Stand up to Evils.
Have you been dreaming
1. STOPPING the Baltic States sending military aid to Ukraine is GUTLESS and sign of cowardice
2. Still donating Billions to Russia by Oil and Gas purchases
3. Sending HELMETS is NOT military aid OR any form of support for Ukraine
4. Spending SO LITTLE on Defence is betrayal
That is NOT standing up to EVIL, that is complicate behaviour?
Ty
Germans were master at air force during both world war.
Then their asses got handed to them. Without nuclear weapons.
not really they lost air superiority to britain during the battle of britain germany's strength during both world wars was always its army
Luftwaffe strong and feared since 1939-1945
idk but that Iron Cross on a modern jet fighter is just somehow unsettling
100% agree with your comment this video made me quite sick but never forget the mighty Spitfire massively Outnumbered by the Luftwaffe but nevertheless Britain made them look like Missguided school boys🇬🇧 all the way
It's not an Iron Cross, it's the cross of the Ordo domus Sanctae Mariae Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum, or Teutonic Knights, & goes back to the 12th century. In 1813 it was recommissioned as the symbol on the Prussian war flag, & has been in use in the German Army ever since. It has nothing to do with Nazism. The Nazis just loved their ancient mystical symbols, like runes, the solar wheel, the swastika, & o/c the mythical Teutonic Knights, etc..
You are wrong the symbol the Nazi symbol actually was reversed and actually came from India
@@raboratory the chuek Knights cross bears no resume no resemblance to the German Iron Cross whatsoever but I do agree they were obsessed we're trying to discover the old ways but got too big for their boots and were simply smashed to rubble and may I add right and so
Do not wet your panties, little girlies. The Iron Cross is "the" German emblem and will remain forever!
Even 3 crying girls here in the chat won't change anything... lol
Did you drop some bad acid, while choosing the background music for the Tornado and Alpha Jet 😂
I used to call the german air force the lute waffle when I was a kid.
13:00 60-90kN ~ 35-45.000hp, that would be 1kN ~ 500hp?
What coversion are they using?

😍😍😍❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍.AWESOME !
Its still the most intimidating word even its been 80 years since ww2😊
I like the Mirage III and the Mirage 2000 but I'm afraid this one, the Eurofighter (A copy of the Rafaele) isn't ready to stand a chance against a SU or MIG 29.
its not a copy. france just dropped out of the programm and dont wanted to build a fighterjet from the scratch.
In fight simulations only the F-22 has a slightly higher win-ratio against the Typhoon.., as well against the Rafale. But beside the F-22, the Typhoon & Rafale rule the skies, even against the Su-57. Russian fighters may look the part, or like copies, but inside, mechanically & electronically they are almost 2 decades behind.
Beautiful jet. How good is it, in comparison to say, latest gen Russian aircraft?
Well the Eurofighter is a Gen 4 Jet and the latest Russian is a Gen 5 jet. So the Russian would be better. You need a F-35 to compete with the latest Russian Jet, greetings from Germany btw
@@rage_scorpio5494 Perhaps now, in light of Ukraine situation, missile technology is a bigger decider? Greetings from New Zealand.
@@andrewrobertson3894 Yes let´s put it that way. I watched a docu about our German Bundeswehr and one of the fighter Pilots said, that today it´s not like in the Top Gun movies anymore with all the dog fighting and cool stunts. Today it´s more like how fast can I go in there, drop a bomb and get out. So if we consider that, than you are completely fine with a Gen 4 fighter Jet, you just need one of the best bombs and Germany has the tech to back it up. Our bombs and missiles are extremely advanced, laser guided missiles with 2 systems to back one up if the other system fails. I don´t know if Russia has this kinda stuff but if not, then not even a Gen 5 Jet would be helpful.
@@rage_scorpio5494 interesting. What do you think about the complete absence of the T14 Armata tank in this current conflict?
@@andrewrobertson3894 Well....The T14 Armata is on paper and extremely good tank but I think Russia just showed off with it and did not have the resources to build a huge amount of these tanks, since it was still in development after they showed it to the public. But if it would be finished, I think the latest Leopard 2 tank could deal with it as well.
Intresting if no war in Europe
Wait, did the Battle of Britain not happen then ? 🤔
How was that missed out ? Or has it been airbrushed from history ? 🤣
Not interested.
After ww2...
This show is not about the battle of Britain. That battle has many documentaries right here on YT. I suggest you look for them. The movies are also on here for free.
Fair comment. It was the first defeat for the Luftwaffe, which allowed the UK to become a large aircraft carrier. Without the battle, the Americans would never have been able to join the European land war, and the Russians would have ended up in Brittany. I'm really glad that the Germans are part of the NATO alliance, but it was a little churlish to have omitted any mention of it. By the way the Me 262 looked good on paper, but the engines were junk and it was often shot down by Mustangs, which had a much better turning radius and were faster in a dive.

Impressive.- even better if those Eurofighters were providing No Fly Zone air cover over Ukraine along with the air forces of other former Eastern Bloc now NATO countries.
No fly zone means total war with Russia. That gives Russia the go ahead to use nuclear weapons.
@Black George lol yeah that’s not why, NATOs tech makes Russian forces laughable.
No Fly Zone is WW3. In a no fly zone,Nato air force must takedown Russian aircrafts that fly over Ukraine and bomb air defence missile locations inside of Russia that could target them while flying in Ukraine's air space.
It would escalate to a nuclear war in hours.
Grrrreat idea! If you're impressed by that, you will be even more impressed by the nuclear missiles that will start flying then.
Could imagine Neville Chamberlain saying something like that - the last time a European leader was cowed by a bully with an overestimated sense of invincibility.
you wanna see a real army, real airforce, real navy? rebuild germans military. they have through history, have always been the best warriors in the world, you can watch them through world war 2 archival footage, these soldiers were focused and ferocious aand every military who hgad to fight them, seen them as myths and legends and they were frightneded
They took a mean L twice 😂😂😂
Frightend?ha ha🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@andrewharvey9157 Definitely respected but not feared.
They lost two world wars!
There's a reason the US turned everything around in WWII. They outproduced every military in the world several times over. Guns, plains, bullets, ships, tanks, and soldiers. You name it; they had more than you. Most US tech is under wraps; give them a reason to show all of their cards like in WWII, and then you'll see some REAL shit.
Hauptmann Fütterer is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
Multitasking possibly
ماشاالله ماشاالله ماشاالله ماشاالله
