V-2 Rocket Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The V-2 Rocket would become the first ballistic missile in history. After years of experiments and testing, German scientists would finally be able to send a rocket from one country to another. Given this occurred during World War Two, there were obvious military capabilities. The V2 Rocket therefore became a vengeance weapon against the allies. But the initial creator Wernher von Braun would go on to take part in another one of mankind's greatest achievements. In this video we look at the V-2 Rocket and explain its history during WWII.
At Premier History we want to take you on a journey through time and grow your knowledge to see what it was actually like to be in some of the pivotal points in World History.

What are your thoughts on the V-2 rocket? Do you think it was an effective weapon for the Germans?

I think it was an effective weapon, if they could have made it more accurate within 300 meters of a desired target, it would have won the war if they had that level of accuracy..
It was a wonderful machine but it could not have won the war for Hitler.
3000 rockets! Each with many thousands of parts, including precision components. I can't comprehend the scale of manufacturing during WW2.
The country was failing and they still managed to do it
@@velqt well they didn't do it themselves. They used forced labour
@@salzmann4207 Resource procurement, facilities, launching (which required skilled labor), design, etc
30 tons of potatoes x 3000 rockets = 90000 tons. That's a lot of potatoes!
@@Erdbeerschorsch2011indeed and for an increasingly food short Germany a waste
Im glad that mr braun live to see man landing on moon
There is a physical example of a V1 or V2 at the Imperial War Museum in London. Its so much larger than you'd think!
So interesting and terrifying, great video.
Thanks O.R Grinter glad you enjoyed it! Much larger isn’t it!
@@PremierHistory absolutely humungous! A true 'terror weapon'
V 1 was no rocket......it used usall benzin as fuel and Air oxygen... A rocket allmost have the oxygen in a second bulk or tank on board. We could listen to the sound of a V 1 - model - owner GM U.S.A. and leant to the German Daughter Messrs OPEL AG Rüsselsheim in School - Really ...Supersound of Pulsbeamengine.....no Rocketengine..
The V-1 was powered by a pulse-jet.
@@Coltnz1 Yes we all know that.
Makes me smirk every time when somebody speaks about landing on the moon
I love your name bro! 😂
Take your meds guy
its fun how nazis reached the peak of all aspects in the 1940s
peak performance in winning world wars too
should i build my own V2 rocket?
They said he was working on a nuclear warhead and I was wondering if he came close to building one
Apparently not very.
There is film that is extremely fascinating that shows the American and russian army carting off v2 rockets at the same time from the Nordhausen underground plant. There is spare parts laying around and the rocket engines look exactly like the Saturn rockets engines.
Wernher von Kerman in 1939-1945:
If you liked this, look up operation paper clip📎🖇️
The thumbnail image shows a V2 in transport mode with a three axle trailer. This exact configuration of V2 laying horizontal on its trailer/launcher, and in very original condition - there is a set stored at the Australian War Memorial Canberra Australia. I did a Army course at the Aussie War Memorial 31 years ago. When taken on a tour of the large exhibits storage we were told the trailer is the last remaining example remaining world wide. AWM also have a ME 262 in original complete condition.
What are you just call them the German military and German scientist why can't you tell people what they really are?
Cause youtube loves censorship
@@cantinadudes yah thats it
!
My takeaway....its ok to be a Nazi if you are clever enough.
The technology hasn't changed much in almost 100 years. They NEVER went there over 50 years ago. They're always going back in about 10 years ever few years.
My dad was ARP in London, he had some horror stories about the V1 & V2.
the allies should've awarded von braun for redirecting so much of germany's crippling resources to a practically useless rocket 😂
Wasn't the V-2 a waste of resources for such minimal damage?
A 1,000 kg warhead is massive
@@firesfs It certainly is. But when launched/aimed randomly, the cost didn't justify the results. It was mainly a 'terror' weopon.
@@firesfs How about the 4,300 kilo explosive charge on the Grand Slam bomb? Now _that's_ truly massive!
@@mbryson2899 the difference beeing that for a bomb you need Something to fly it over your target
yes but no pilots or aircraft were lost
Thank you for pronouncing kilometer properly!
《This twisted game needs to be reset. We'll start this world from scratch. That's what V2 is for》
What are my thoughts? First off the V2 was a missile, not a rocket. What's the difference? Missiles are guided, rockets are not and the V2 was most definitely guided. Secondly, the V2 was a terrible waste of resources that would have been better spent elsewhere. The V2 was terribly expensive and equally ineffective. But that was the thinking back in the day; that it was possible to demoralize a population into giving up a war. Turns out that it doesn't work. It didn't work for Germany in the London blitz, it didn't work for the allies in carpet bombing German cities and it didn't work for the US&A in the fire bombing of Japan. WWII in many respects was a new kind of warfare and a lot of new things were tried on both sides; some worked and some didn't. Where Germany really screwed the pooch was in logistics. Had they spent the money on trucks rather than V2's and Tiger tanks things might have gone very differently.
Let’s be honest the V2 was barely “guided” as it didn’t have any kind of targeting system or live guidance you just pointed it in the direction of the enemy and prayed
I heard that each V2 rocket had killed at least 10,000 jews in the holocaust being they were built underground and the fuel was so deadly when breathing. Deadly gas fumes.
Where did you hear that?
@@OllihuAkbar On the History Channel which had footage of them being built inside of tunnels. The way they put it was atleast 10,000 Jews not counting MIA. I don't think that everyone killed that many but still super sad seeing what all went down in the holocaust. 😢
@@jasonfalcon7821 watch The abyss on UA-cam, 9 episodes of ww2.
Best documentary on ww2 I've v ever seen.
And then America made the head of the V2 Project the director of NASA. A man who had been witness to these deaths….
No, the fumes were from the Komet fighter
The V2 burned booze
I have always thought that Braun should have been a war criminal, but because of what he knew the yanks showered him with fame and money. what would the people who lost loved one's to this weapon think. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a very clever person, but!
Please. The English provoked ww2 by pushing Poland to refuse German diplomatic solutions to their border dispute. And dont even waste my fucking time with bullshit about England protecting Poland after you bastards spent the last 100 years invading half the planet.. Germany invades Poland, you and France pull the world into war. Absurd. Absolutely absurd. This was after you guys pushed to create the polish state after ww1 and used it as a proxy to encircle Germany.
Germany tried repeatedly to offer peace and avoid senseless war with UK and France. Churchill refused outright. Why? What did England have to gain? Nothing. What use did England have sending its men to die for danzig? Absurd.
As for the war criminal allegations.... I won't even waste my time. It's so much easier to fool a man than convince him he's been fooled. If simple arithmetic, basic chemistry and common sense can't help you, I sure as hell can't.
Way to go past Germany
