In 2001 HBO and the BBC released a really superb docudrama about the 1942 Wannsee Conference starring Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci as Reinhard Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann respectively. An early scene shows an Fi-156 C-3 making a landing with Heydrich supposedly at the controls (Heydrich did fly himself to the Wannsee Conference in a Storch). The aircraft shown does not appear to be the same as this one, the unit markings are different. Still, there can't be many airworthy Fi-156s remaining -- by my count eight worldwide.
If all the markings are indeed from the time, it would be a disservice to the historical community to remove them. Luckily most real historians and right minded people understand the significance of preserving the past with all its flaws.
I remember as a little kid doing a drawing of a cool luftwaffe plane I saw in ‘Where Eagles Dare’ at school and having the teacher tell me off. I didn’t even know why they were upset at the time, at this point I understand the reaction but really it would’ve been better if they just explained what the symbols meant instead of assuming a 6 year old is a neonazi. Now I do scale modelling and I like to paint German/Italian/Japanese vehicles as if they’ve been captured by the red army or post apocalyptic warlords or whatever, cause I like cool fascist stuff more when it’s stolen and something bad happened to the owner, heh.
@Jack Stucki The guy you replied to did. Taking off from a three point stance vs tail wheel off the ground is all about angle of attack. Higher relative air speed means less ground speed needed which means a shorter takeoff.
Now that’s how you preserved history, complete with everything from the camouflage paint, right down to the swastika on tail rudder, and the MP40 submachingun.
The way the pilot pulls the prop through by reaching under and behind the blade is extremely dangerous. If the engine were to accidently fire, he'd lose an arm.
It really is amazing just how large the Storch really is. Just seeing it in a photo, with nobody standing next to it, it's easy to mistake it for being the size of a Cessna 152.
This is So Comforting to Experience in a Happier Friday afternoon in a Beautiful Country field runway indeed! Fieseler Storch Transporter >>> Stylish & Classy! 🌷🌿
The pilot was very professional taking his time and verifying the aircraft before takeoff. I was surprised how fast it was air born. Seemed like less than 100 feet and he was in the air.
@@bingola45 Did you notice that the pilot did not lift the tail wheel up to level before rotating into the air. I thought was standard practice for all tail draggers. What do I know?
One of our school teachers (yes, I'm that old) flew Hurricanes and P40s with the Desert Air Force in north Africa and told us they had "souvenired" a Storch in the final drive west. One day it was coming in to land and a stiff desert wind came up. The Storch met it head on on the final approach and hovered like a hawk in mid air. Eventually the wind dropped and so did the aircraft.
The Storch has a stall speed of 20 knots. If in a landing or cruise configuration it was pointed into a 30 knot headwind it would indeed be flying in reverse as long as the airspeed was higher than stall speed but slower than the headwind.
I was lined up behind a Tiger Moth for takeoff on a windy day at Biggin Hill one day many years ago and watched him lift off and fly backwards until he built up enough speed to overcome the headwind speed. It’s a mind boggling but funny thing to see!
I'd have been more woried about the horse in front (which was briefly in shot). But it was *bound* to go just fine .............. as the pilot looked a lot like Cpt James T Kirk's twin brother.
Enjoyed the video. The grass on the airstrip looks really well looked after, like they were taking off from a golf course. I think these aircraft were very well regarded as even Monty had one.
Говорят, за счет развитой механизации крыла, эта штука могла взлетать и садиться против ветра практически вертикально и на любую поверхность! They say that due to the advanced mechanization of the wing, this thing could take off and land against the wind almost vertically and on any surface!
thefridgeman Short take-off. Looked a little tail heavy so perhaps that was why the fellow in the rear was there. I thought it might stall. Very interesting. But never handle a propeller as he did.
@@SlavicUnionGaming Hi - of course. But in the beginning he actually started like the others in the 20's trying to earn his livelihood in the aeronautical business amidst the ruins of the postwar Germany. The nazis came into picture much later when after the accession to power they started a massive, in the open rearmament program. Engineering skills like Fieseler's had where in high demand and the state provided almost limitless support for anybody with the right skills. It was a real golden age . Nobody in that time period suspected that beneath the surface was an another reality. People like Fieseler , Messerchmitt, Junkers ,Dornier , Lippisch, von Braun, Heisenberg honestly believed that all what had happened during the ' 20 s '30 s early '40 s was for the greater good to restore not to destroy Germany's place in the world....The sobering started when the early war successes faded away and the raine of the most radicalized figures like Himmler , Heydrich etc..was elevated as the state maine policy .
If I remember correct that plane could fly and stay airborne at a minimum speed of 36 km/h and the take-off speed was 40km/h. Thats as slow as it gets.
For those complaining about the men in uniforms, this is a reenactment put on by the Collings Foundation. So they have uniforms on. Even if they didn't, they're still reenacting. Each Warbird pilot, and crew are reenactors. Our ages are anywhere from 20 to 70 years old. We didn't fly these aircraft during the war. A majority of us weren't even born yet. But, we reenact how some of these aircraft were flown. When you see a warbird performing a "Bomb run" at an airshow, we're reenacting. The Collings Foundation adds to it by wearing uniforms.
@Baz Bazdad Thank you! I'm glad that you understand my name on here. Others have been confused. This reenactment takes place in the New England area of the US. I'm not positive, but like most Storch's you see flying today, the Collings Foundation's Storch might be a post war French example. Many were saved in South America.
@Baz Bazdad I attend the 352nd FG reunion every year. It hit us hard when Punchy passed away. He held everyone together. It hit me pretty hard when Alden Rugby(487th), and Don Bryan(328th) passed away. I have only seen the tower once. I have been told the same, about the owner, from my British friends. It's sad it can't be saved. We were hoping to make it another Museum, with a memorial dedicated to Frascotti, and the rest of the men of the 352nd.
@Baz Bazdad It's sad, it's falling apart. There are quite a few towers I would like to see saved. Kingscliffe is another tower, and field I would like to see saved. Deenethorpe Field seems to be incredibly intact.
Bluenose352: Why don't you "enact" the flight of such a warbird without showing all those stupid German uniforms ? Uniforms who horrified peoples of all Europe !
Fun fact: When Mussolini & the Stork Pilot were getting ready to take off after Mussolini’s escape in Italy, Otto Skorzeny wanted to come along. Well, Otto Skorzeny was a huge dude, and the pilot was pretty apprehensive as the runway space was already small; but luckily for them they made it with all 3 of them in the Stork.
What a fantastic aircraft . A modern version would still be very useful today for photography and survaillance and with extended range SAR inshore and coastal patrol .
Спасибо за материал!!! У нас не так было!!! Техник заранее прогрел двигатель. Докладывает летчику, самолет к полету готов замечаний нет. Летчик проходит по кругу вокруг самолета, просматривает прощупывает необходимые узлы и элементы, бьет ботинком по шасси. Расписывается в журнале приема самолета, садится в кабину, надевает шлемофон, по рации запрашивает разрешение на запуск, потом на выруливание и вперед!!!
They make good cars, good beer and good guns but their politics in the first half of the 20th century are somewhat questionable. The only good Hitler actually did was in rebuilding the German economy following the first world war only to have it destroyed again in the second world war.

@@manofsan do you see how large the wings are coupled with how small and light the fuselage is? Also The massive flaps it has also contribute to a ton of lift.

That plane is designed to be able to takeoff and land just about anywhere making it excellent for what alaskan bush pilots might do.

@Trey Stephens In fact they were not prepared for a great war, it was never meant to happen, Hitler played a risky game and tried to bluff but things went wrong, and then Hitler acted as a politician and made decisions on political grounds and prioritized prestige and psychology, not military strategy and therefore many strategic mistakes were committed. With another well prepared leader with a priority to defeat the enemy instead of sending political signals and paying all attention to symbolism instead of victory - they had won, even poorly prepared. For example, they were winning The Battle of Britain... but suddenly completely changed strategy and stopped attacking the airfields and the radar stations - completely insane. And that decision was Hitlers fault. In fact here they lost the war...

Самое удивительное то- что немцы очень правильно относятся к истории своей страны, своей армии и флота и не искажают униформу и знаки различия и мне очень нравится( хоть я и русский)- униформа армии германии 30-40хгг прошлого и как бережно подошли к восстановоению армии и ее униформы и званий в гдр! Вот если бы сейчас армия фрг возродила бы свою униформу, возродила бы свои самолеты- мессершмитт, фоке-вульф, дорнье,хенкель- то можно было бы европе гордиться возрожденной германией - так как страна должна быть страной а не колоние другой, заокеанской страны! Немцы молодцы: у них летает и ездит все что может летать и ездить! И как и в сша и в англии - они делают отличные реконструкции батальных сцен и отличные авиашоу! Удачи вам , ребята! Вы отличные парни!
I would imagine the proper preflight had already taken place this one was for the camera as the real one would have taken too much time, they took long enough to get airborne anyway a lot could have been edited out and still left it interesting.
6 million innocent people died because of the crazy and cruel beliefs of people beholden to the swastika, and there is the swastika painted on the plane. What a terrible symbol for millions of innocent people.
@@vonLubrich I'm sorry to disagree, but in time of war _every_ enemy plane is a target. Obviously no-one is going to deliberately put a storch up against a spitfire, but if a patrolling spit comes across one, then the storch is history.
@@mandolinic As would most observation planes. The US was flying L-2 Grasshoppers during the war as well. It seems the storch was pretty good at not being noticed, considering the amount that flew in and out of berlin in april 1945.

It's amazing how it got airborne even with Chris Farley in the back seat just saying.

What’s even more amazing, is that it saved Mussolini‘s fat ass during the war.

Remarkable. The short take off run. So beautifully restored.
Sweet. Love how it takes off from the three point stance, just lifts off the ground. Thanks for sharing this!
Proabably there is a strong wing coming "against" the aircraft
The wind doesn’t matter. If the plane is stalled in the three point configuration it won’t takeoff… period.
@@Bartonovich52 My little Nieuport takes off from the three point stance.

Lástima que en la posguerra nos compramos toda esa chatarra de los "aliados" e Yankys"e Ingleses Memoria¡¡una vez que tuvimos un conflicto con uno de los socios piratas no nos vendían repuestos¡¡¡ ni siquiera los cartuchos para los asientos ejecutables que salvaba la vida de nuestros queridos pilotos. Hojala que esto lo lean 👇 las autoridades aeronáuticas con poder y facultad de Compra....
A mustang on the right wing...
a spitfire on the left wing....
a lightning at high 6.................
German storch pilot:...Scheiße....Scheiße....Scheiße..........Mama!?
Очень точное название, Аист.
Foi o último avião alemão a deixar Berlim, pilotado por Hannah Reisch, aparece no filme a queda
"Get your 'air cut". They didn't run out of food this time. A great plane.
Love that aircraft !
The woman that landed one in the street next to Hitler in Berlin and tried to rescue him. She later was on the advisory board in the design for the US A10 Warhog and was a awarded the flying cross and a devoted Nazi in WW2.
The Mark Felton theme song plays in my head and I remember Otto Skorzeny for some reason🤣✌
If you read Super Ace Hans Rudel's book Stuka Pilot, he actually writes quite a lot about flying this plane.
SUPER MAGNIFIQUE AVION TRES BELLES IMAGES TRES BELLE RESTAURATION
I don't speak French, but if I have to guess:
"Super Magnificent Plane! Very good images, very good restoration."
And if so, I agree. It's adorable.
A beautiful and amazing aircraft
Excellent film footage and sound.
Noticias to it's pure perfection
this footage is pretty good for th 1940's
I like the gold Bug in the background too.
Какой он красивый
Як-12, говорите...
I think that the Storch and the Westland Lysander were two of that era's most subtly interesting planes.
One of the most functional aircframes ever produced.
I am gonna ask a question that may sound stupid to some that already know. Why to they hand turn the prop before take off ?
To clear any oil from the inverted cylinders. Risk of hydraulic lock and bent con rods otherwise.
Tim Whitfield Because if they got up to altitude and then stepped out to start it, that first step is a doozey.
It's to remind the engine which way it's supposed to turn.
Самое удивительное то- что немцы очень правильно относятся к истории своей страны, своей армии и флота и не искажают униформу и знаки различия и мне очень нравится( хоть я и русский)- униформа армии германии 30-40хгг прошлого и как бережно подошли к восстановоению армии и ее униформы и званий в гдр! Вот если бы сейчас армия фрг возродила бы свою униформу, возродила бы свои самолеты- мессершмитт, фоке-вульф, дорнье,хенкель- то можно было бы европе гордиться возрожденной германией - так как страна должна быть страной а не колоние другой, заокеанской страны! Немцы молодцы: у них летает и ездит все что может летать и ездить! И как и в сша и в англии - они делают отличные реконструкции батальных сцен и отличные авиашоу! Удачи вам , ребята! Вы отличные парни!
Да он был прав сказав что:"Неофашисты появятся там ,где громче всех кричали долой фашизм!"
That was a very realistic looking re-enactment.
There's nothing like a thorough pre-flight inspection!
I would imagine the proper preflight had already taken place
this one was for the camera as the real one would have taken
too much time, they took long enough to get airborne anyway
a lot could have been edited out and still left it interesting.
The center of gravity is a bit aftwards. Look at the passenger.
Holy crud. Never realized how huge these were. 46 ft wingspan. I thought they were tiny...
Look, he's got Churchill in the back seat!
Where's the cigar?
Radbert Grimmig We shall defend our Fieseler Storch, whatever the cost may be.
Naten Johnson is only weight, otherweise Storch would fly away by wind. :D
Kitten Dispenser y
haha
Saw one of these take off at an airshow - bit of a windy afternoon. I was amazed at how short the take off was.
In no wind, lands in 25m, takes off in75
Man I know a lot of pilots that would kill for this plane.
6 million innocent people died because of the crazy and cruel beliefs of people beholden to the swastika, and there is the swastika painted on the plane. What a terrible symbol for millions of innocent people.
A spitfire would make very short work of that bird! Impressive short take-off.
It's not a fighter plane, the comparison is irrelevant.
@@vonLubrich I'm sorry to disagree, but in time of war _every_ enemy plane is a target. Obviously no-one is going to deliberately put a storch up against a spitfire, but if a patrolling spit comes across one, then the storch is history.
@@mandolinic As would most observation planes. The US was flying L-2 Grasshoppers during the war as well. It seems the storch was pretty good at not being noticed, considering the amount that flew in and out of berlin in april 1945.
It lifted off effortlessly
Plane finishing so nice great engineering
That was a quick pre-flight! He barely kicked the tyres! Awesome aeroplanes though.
The pilot has a gold band on his forearm that says "Delta"!
Kreta.
@@echopapacharlie I stand corrected, what is "Kreta"?
@@sweepleader German word for Crete, where German paratroopers (organizationally belonging to the German air force) fought a major battle. Participants of the battle were awarded that cuff band, sort of like a medal.
Как же легко он взлетел без разгона. Очень круто
Ещё круче он совершает посадку. Парашютирует почти как вертолёт. Наши пытались его повторить, но не получилось - не было достаточно лёгкого и мощного двигателя.
Just one damn nice plane. Beautiful machine. Yes sir would love to fly one
That plane was a very good STOL aircraft, you can also use both ailerons in a special down position to help flaps ...Very clever!
