Operation Crossbow (1965) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #OperationCrossbow
The Germans test the V-1 Pulse Jet Rocket's Autopilot. "Switching To Manual Control!"
A fearsome rumor reaches Britain’s World War II command. The Nazis are developing rocket technology that could rain death on London and then New York. Quickly, England develops a plan to send saboteurs into the sites manufacturing the rockets. Just moments after the carefully chosen commandos parachute into the drop zone, their pilot receives an urgent message: The mission may be compromised. Abort. Operation Crossbow is the partly fact-based tale of how that team succeeded against daunting odds. Michael Anderson (The Dam Busters, Logan’s Run) directs, guiding a huge cast in a film that builds to a spectacular finale, yet never neglects war’s unsparing personal costs. As a record of a wartime espionage incursion and as an intrigue-filled thriller, Operation Crossbow is on both counts Operation Accomplished.
Special Features: Vintage Featurette "A Look Back at Crossbow"; Theatrical Trailer (HD).
Directed By Michael Anderson
Starring Sophia Loren, George Peppard, Trevor Howard

The daring test pilot Hanna Reitsch had the distinction of flying the last plane out of Berlin, which was on 28 April 1945. Her passenger was a Luftwaffe Field Marshal. Berlin was surrounded by Soviet forces fighting inwards to the center of the city. Four days later, on 2 May, the city was captured.

The replica isn't a bad job, but yes; the canopy is hinged in the front (not easy to open in a slipstream), a seat belt is possible, but I don't see shoulder straps, her goggles are not down, nor is her chinstrap secure. Hanna Reitsch did manage to successfully fly the Fiesler-103a (Reichenberg) as she was smart enough to be dropped from a mothership at altitude where she did a series of stalls to determine the a/c's best approach and stall speeds. Bailing out was considered problematic owing to the pulse jet engine immediately behind the cockpit. The original had a side-hinged canopy and a single grip control column, not the two-handed one you see in the movie. They were never used as a manned, flying bomb.

Lots of former Nazis sort of re-invented themselves after the war. I'll never forget one incident. I had a good friend who was the most pro-Black/African guy you'd ever want to meet. Wore dashikis and those little African hats all the time, and generally promoted a sort of Black people first philosophy. This was back in the early 1990s I believe. One afternoon I was over to his house, and looking through some of his African-themed coffee table photo books. One of them struck me, with beautiful pictures of African landscapes, animals and people. When I flipped to the back to see the author, imagine my surprise: Leni Riefenstahl. I'm like, "Kwaiku, " (he even changed his name to an African name), "Do you know who this woman is?" I'll never forget the irony of that moment. But, the world was still a lot bigger place back then than it is now.

Hanna Reitsch was quite a test pilot at her time in the 1940s.

@enscroggs 2 месяца назад

Hanna Reitsch did make a test flight in a "buzz bomb", several in fact, but not in this context. In this highly fictionalized film, the Fieseler Fi-103 is unstable and unable to fly a straight course. Consequently, a piloted version is built to diagnose the problem. This was not the case. The V-1 as designed was sufficiently stable and accurate to hit London with high reliability. The problem was precision. The V-1 could not hit a militarily strategic target, such as a bridge or a specific factory. To give the V-1 that ability a piloted version was developed. Hanna Reitsch participated in that project. Known as the Fi-103R Reichenberg, the piloted V-1 was intended to be a suicide weapon, conceptually similar to the Japanese Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka. However, there's no evidence any operational attacks were made.

German engineering was second-to-none! Ever heard of a Foo Fighter? They were seen by Allied air crews all over Europe during WWII, and could fly rings around US aircraft at the time, non-ballistic movement ...UFOs. Look up Operation Paperclip; we made a deal to let Hitler and Ava escape in exchange for German scientists, engineers, and all their 'Fallen Angel' technology. By default, the USA became The Fourth Reich. Sound far-fetched?

Barbara Rütting does a fine job of portraying Hanna Reitsch, the only woman to pilot a rocket plane in history, the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. While the movie fictionalizes it a bit, she had a hard landing in one of the prototypes and spent five months hospitalized. She was one tough cookie... a movie about her alone would be worth watching.

Later after the war, Hanna kept flying as a great glider pilot, she crossed the alps landing in Italy with her glider. She also wrote a book. Most glider pilots remember her, despite her role in the war, she was essentially a born pilot, willing to fly with anything, with or without an engine. The female equivalent of Chuck Yeager, nothing less.

@BeachsideHank 4 года назад

A great bit of symbolism as Hanna flies past the graveyard of the dead pilots who came before her. You don't find much in movies that can compose a scene that informs the audience with no dialog, the only other one I can think of is THEM! (1954) In that opening scene a little girl (Sandy Descher) who is a mute survivor, is laying in an ambulance while the attendant (William Schallert, Patty Dukes "father") and cop (James Whitmore) talk. Out of sight comes the chirping noise of a mutant, and while both men look away for the source the little girl sits bolt upright, a tight closeup of her face silently telegraphing to the audience the horrors to come- and then she slowly reposes as the sound fades; the two men having entirely missed that telling moment, but not you, the viewer. A simple yet effective scene that conveys so much with no dialog is definitely a lost art nowadays.

When you go up in a acrobatic glider they strap one on you too. They say the reason for one is in case a wing shears off during flight. So if the wing shears off at 3,000 feet, glider is in a spin or dive, you are expected to release the canopy, undo your four point restraint, climb out of cockpit, and jump. Right.

@johnassal5838 3 года назад

@@robertbowman448 Not to mention that canopy opens the wrong way so she'd have to actively brace just to hold it open against wind pressure. Though the real thing may have been just as flimsy as this film prop.

It was probably just as well that Hanna did not marry and so she had no grandchildren. Otherwise, they might have been unfairly referred to as The Third Reitsch.
