I can only imagine a Nazi poking around in one of the targeting pods and trying to figure out what “Made in Israel” means.

Looks like the wonder weapons Goebels promised have arrived.

Meanwhile in DDay: US: Fighters built by Germany and wait, Britain?! UK: *Sweats nervously.*

Nazi soldier: Nice recon system, is it german? Modern pilot: Um... yeah.

It's kinda ironic that the Luftwaffe is using American, British, French, and most hilariously, Israeli weapons/equipment on the Allied.

Sounds like War Thunder matchmaking.

What I don't see in this video is the sheer shock factor. Binkov portraits Allied air crews seeing how literally thousands of planes bite the dust, hundreds of ships sunk and thousands of personnel dying, and they just keep going on, their resolve unbruised. Just the fact that mistery uncatchable and unkillable planes are reigning havoc on any Allied formation would be enough for them to lose all morale and flee back to Britain. You think that public opinion wouldn't go crazy over so many loses? Even Allied High Command wouldn't keep on pushing against these planes. They simply have no way to know that their missiles and ammunition is limited and would just run out with time. For all they know, the Germans have developed invincible planes that would make short work of any thing the Allies throw at them. That's it, I liked the video otherwise.

This is why we need a modern time traveling FPS

One factor which he completely ignores is that of moral. The loss of this many troops unexpectedly would cause the allies to lose there moral and therefore greatly reduce there efficiency in combat which would help Germany to gain the upper hand.

Downfall time Adolf "These planes will be able to turn the tide of our war" General 1 "My Furher.... these planes...." General 2 "Using a couple of these missles is a massive strain on our economy. We cannot reproduce then nor do we even have the means to create these new jets at all..."

Rommel : "finally, I can have some rest and celebrate my wife's birthday" German Radar operator : "Sir, the enemies' forces seem like concentrating right upon the English Channel" Rommel : "Ok then" D-Day : fails

Why would the modern jets target allied fighters when they have more high value targets to consider. With the advanced warnings, the Old Luftwaffe could concentrate on dealing with the Allied air power while the modern jets could hit high value command and control targets, ports, ships, factories etc. Without these ports , D Day is already done for. Old german army inflicted heavy casualties at omaha beach. With advanced warnings, even more troops will be concentrated. Most probably all of the landing sites will be very bloody for the allies. Also D Day relied upon the earlier airborne troops in order to succeed. With the modern jets shooting many many more down before they could reach france, those airborne troops will have much less impact and the old german army will have maintained constant supply lines through carentan etc.

A better strategy for the Germans in this fantasy scenario would probably be for the modern Luftwaffe planes to ignore RAF and USAAF planes in the air and instead to destroy all Allied airfields, which they could do with impunity using just dumb bombs. That would effectively ground the RAF and the USAAF, probably destroy a lot of it on the ground, inflict a lot of operational losses on them by forcing pilots returning from France to try to land in fields and roads, and give the Germans air supremacy within a few hours. With air supremacy achieved, the modern and WWII era Luftwaffes could then focus on things like sinking supply ships and destroying supply dumps in the UK. Cutting off the invasion force's supply lines would reduce the invasion force to a combat-ineffective mob in uniform after about two weeks, which the Wehrmacht could then mop up relatively easily. IT would certainly have been a major blow to US-UK morale to see its large invasion force quickly wiped out.

I think a couple of typhoons breaking the sound barrier, would have been scary to anyone back then.

Probably the only reason why D-Day will still be a success is that the Luftwaffe will run out of ammunition/missiles

eurofighters: i don’t know why i’m here i don’t know what to do, all i know is that i must protect

Could the entire Roman fleet take out one modern warship?

What’s next? Could Romans win Canae if they had machine guns?

The least believable part of this video is that Germans from 2021 would help German from 1944.

Could the modern day Australian military fight off the Emu's?

Your forgetting some major issues with your assessment. Your forgetting the psychological affect. Now imagine what affect it would have had on Eisenhower and supreme allied commands decision making if the air armada that went in to deliver the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions reported being destroyed in large numbers by planes they never saw or heard but planes were just being blown out of the sky left and right before flak or fighter aircraft opened up with guns. Then add in the reports from any surviving aircraft that these fighters seemed to know their exact positions in the dark almost like they could physically see them (which those pilots in modern fighter jets would be able to see them). you also have to account that modern fighters use a 20mm rapid firing main cannon those guns would have make short work of the transport planes of the time, any escorting fighters would have been ripped apart by those guns as well. Plus with modern targeting assist systems on those fighter jets they would only need to expend short bursts to to knock out an enemy fighter instead of long streams of bullets to get a hit. All of these reports I am sure would have given Eisenhower pause to consider the viability of conducting the D day invasion. But lets assume he goes forward with it anyway, suddenly these fighters the far exceed anything the ME 262 could achieve in means of speed arrive and pilots watch planes firing extremely fast missiles that they cannot out run that seem to home in on them despite their evasive actions. Most planes targeted by the missiles would be downed before they had a real chance to react because they would not be expecting such weapon. Now consider that ground attack planes with their guided munitions are hitting ships with missiles and bombs from out side of the the supporting ships AA bubbles and landing graft are dropping like flies though I also consider Battle Ships would have been priority targets as well as their 15 and 16 inch guns could provide major fire support to the beaches. That also means the overall leadership of the invasion could be decapitated when these few BBs are hit with guided anti ship missiles. During all of these with the advanced warning provided the historical Luftwaffe would be present in much larger numbers providing assistance as well. The psychological affect of these modern missiles dropping planes from the sky with little effort and then the guns of these aircraft inflicting incredible damage in only a few rounds to allied aircraft plus ships being sunk by weapons fired from planes that never had to enter allied AA bubbles coupled with the fact these planes were moving faster than anything the allied had ever seen let alone dreamed of (The sound barrier had not been broken yet at this time) This all would have played a huge psychological affect on the leadership but imagine the troops on the ground? Watching allied planes and ships being dropped with what to them would seem like impunity while suffering 50% casualties on every beach and facing increasingly steep German ground resistance plus the constant pounding and strafing runs being conducted by the historical and future German air forces, add in the struggle to keep enough supplies rolling in as the Germans would have the time and ability to concentrate heavy artillery in the area which with drones spotting would means any allied ship coming within range of the beaches would be under intense artillery fire the entire time. Then we consider the storm that rolled in and prevented the Allies from resupplying the beach heads for 3 days. With increased German troop levels in the air and the presence of these new "wonder" planes in the air forces German commanders would be emboldened and more aggressive. Its likely that in the down time while that storm raged the Germans would move all available forces forward and pre stage them for an offensive push as well as all effort would be pushed into insuring as many normal and modern planes were operational, fueled, and armed for when the storm lifted. Knowing German blitzkrieg tactics the moment the storms lifted the German troops would be in ready positions waiting the arrival of the German air forces. Once those combined old and modern planes arrived and started reeking Havok on the allied lines the Germans would have launched and all out offensive on every sector of the beachheads. Being low on ammunition, fuel, and food I really do not consider it likely the reduced number of troops and equipment would have been able to hold against Germans troops fully stocked on supplies crashing into them hard. Allied bombing would have also stopped. Allied doctrine established 25% losses in bombers and aircraft as acceptable and sustainable. Allied doctrine called for an immediate cessation of bombing missions if casualties broke over 25%. The first bomber wave that was sent to Germany and lost at least 250 bombers to a combination of sam missiles their fighters could not protect them from and modern aircraft their fighters again could not protect them from would have called off the bombing missions. This breathing space for the German industry would have had noticeable affect. I really think you under estimate the psychological impact the modern German air forces abilities would have had on allied leaders. I think honestly with significant loses to the 101st and 82nd on the night before D day and then the drastic losses in aircraft and ships the morning along with every beach inflicting 50% or better casualties because of German reinforcements arriving quickly on station as they would not be harried by allied air power on their way to the beaches would have lead Eisenhower to call of the invasion and return to England with the bulk of allied forces still intact the used in a future invasion after this new threat had been evaluated. Also considering German scientist would have also likely started immediate process to try and reverse engineer as much as they could from the modern equipment brought back this could have huge ramifications on the wars out come. Also not considering that once the D day invasion was called off after suffering significant losses German would have very quickly transferred large bulks of the troops in France and Norway to the eastern front. Considering D day would likely have been called off on June 6th or 7th that would leave the Germans 16 days to transfer ground and air forces to the eastern front prior to operation Bagration launched by the Russians on the 23rd of June. This sudden influx of extra troops and air forces especially the modern planes the Russians would have received terrifying reports about could very well have caused the operation to fail. There is so much involved in this hypothetical situation that you have left out of consideration.

What do 1944 and 2021 have in common? The Luftwaffe has about 5 operational jet fighters.

So the true winner in this scenario is Soviets: “Hello Europe, here I come!”

I think you overlooked the modern Lufwaffes capabilities to fight in darkness - and their vastly superior effectiveness using unguided bombs the old Luftwaffe could supply in huge amounts. When the enemy has neither radar guided AAA nor MANPADS especially the ships in the channel and the channel ports would be almost helpless at night even vs. relatively low altitude attacks by planes dropping unguided bombs aimed with the help of modern ballistic computer sights. And with the modern Luftwaffe providing escorts the old Luftwaffe might also do some serious harm during the day using the Fritz-X guided glide bomb from high altitude. I think the Omaha beachead would definitely have failed.

If the Allies lost several hundred aircraft in a single day they would likely have halted offensive operations, and if multiple large transports and battleships were sunk they would have withdrawn. The arrival of modern aircraft and weapons would also have provide German designers with proven designs that they could use as templates for crude copies.

Don't forget: The US wanted to throw the nukes first at Germany, but failed to do due to them being late. In this alternative timeline, they would land somewhere on Germany, with all kind of consequences from that alone

Let me shorten it. The answer is no. You can count the number of operational jets we have on your own two hands.

I mean if 500 planes get recked in half and hour any competent general will cancel the invasion

The main issue I have with this is that it assumes the allies would persist despite the absolutely horrific losses. There’s a scene in Aliens where Hicks says “Next time they’ll walk up and knock” and Ripley says “Yeah but they don’t know that.” After the first battle of massive casualties it’s hard to see them just throwing troops and planes at the new enemy in the hope they run out of munitions. Their behaviour throughout the war was extremely casualty averse; I expect they would have cancelled D-Day or postponed it indefinitely until they had information on the new threat.

The video ignores the human elements, after being struck by rain of advanced missles, the allies would retreat.

3:47 Ironic

I think the invasion would be called off immediately once the Allies saw the unrealistic amount of casualty suffered by its air force and navy. Because they have no idea very few planes could do so much damage, they would assume the Germans have a much much larger defense force than intelligence have suggested (10x at least). The invasion was based on months of reconnaissance of planning and suddenly the information is no longer valid. Therefore they would stop sending in planes and ships for suicide missions and postpone the invasion indefinitely before they could understand the situation. And the psychological impact of real wonder weapons on morale of troops and civilians alike would be immense that the Western Allies may even consider a peace deal.

Nobody: They history channel at midnight:

Wrong premise... Wrong strategy. With a modern Luftwaffe i would destroy the ports in England. If you destroy 5 ports in South England right after the invasion started the game is over. Easilly acomplished with Tornados striking fuel depots, airfields and ports with GBU under cover of Typhoons. After then game over.. Just mop up the ships still afloat and the rest of the troops on the beach.

In the words of the Russian badger's crew "If we throw enough people at the bullet, eventually, they'll run out of bullets"

Ahh, reminds me of that film about F-14s at Pearl Harbour.

There is a major mistake in the narrative here. At 18:17 they say the allies encircled the Germans after a "quick" breakout. That breakout did not take place historically until 7 weeks after the invasion. Even Caen, which is not far from the beach did not fall for 4 weeks. There was no "quick" breakout. Even with the complete control of the air and naval support, the Allies had to grind it out to get room to setup the breakout. The breakout itself, Operation Cobra depended on a major carpet bombing effort. In this scenario, all that becomes questionable both on the losses already sustained and the risk of such a concentration of vulnerable bombers. The Germans would have the freedom of movement to concentrate their armour by the end of the first week on the weakest point and have a good chance for a successful breakthrough as the modern Luftwaffe could concentrate on supporting that specific effort.

I believe you understimate the psychological effect in the allies after losing hundreds of thousands of troops in the first couple of days. I say the allies would have ordered the retreat on D Day +1 and it would have taken them several years before even thinking about invading Eurooe again

Those are my favourite videos by you. The huge differences between modern and old millitary equipment. I hope there will be more of these.

So quantity > quality. I will remember that.

Alternative title: *Man explains the prologue of Wolfenstein: New Order*

That was steiner's plan... Trust me

D-day would fail. If german conventional army almost defeated the allied forces, now imagine a modern luftwaffe. The allies would not be able to do anything

To me the funniest thing about this scenario would be England shooting down a drone over their territory and wondering WTF is this wundrwaffe, flying with no pilot.

If they sent the jets to the russian front, they could have likely negotiated peace with the Soviets. Then, they could have focused on the allies and in a few years had almost perfect replicas of modern jets. Britian would fall quickly, and the soviets might last a year in a war with them, but modern jets would change the war entirely.

00:15 "Those are the modern Eurofighters *ready to meet them*." That's the most fictionous fiction in history of fiction.

Upcoming Next: Could nuclear weapons help the persian empire in stopping Alexander the Great?

Any sensible commander would cancel the attack on day one when faced with technology that is 10x superior to their own and keeps wrecking them. Imagine some kind of aliens attacking Earth with technology that wreaks absolute havoc on human forces. Would the humans be like "they're going to run out of supplies soon, lets just keep throwing and loosing thousands of troops at them per hour"?

I think the Modern Luftwaffe would destroy the command structure. No problem with Taurus Cruise Missile (350 km Range). The 600 available in Modern Luftwaffe would destroy the key leaders of the Allies (War Room in London, Royal Family, Houses of Parlaments,...) , with the possibility to make long Strike Missions with Airbus MRTT even in the US (Pentagon, White House, Congress, Los Alamos,...) With this Shock and Awe, the fighters and bombers of the Allies would not longer take off, the Royal and US Navy would retreat. It would probably had come to a pease treaty within weeks. If the Modern Luftwaffe would have the knowledge of all things that happend before D-Day (especially that Enigma cipher was broken), IT would have been a game changer. But, I don't think the engineers of the Modern Luftwaffe could modernize the production quick enough to become leader in air power. So 10 years later, Germany would have lost the next war. The modern Luftwaffe ist no big deal today, too small and not top level equipment, but in 1944, it would have changed the game.

The Germans go do nothing but sink oil tankers, and win.

German soldier: what country was that jet of yours made? German pilot: um let me see *made in israel* uh... don't mention that

wolfenstein be like:

Man if they only targeted the battleships it would cause the invasion to be cancelled. Those sorts of losses simply aren't acceptable.

Could the 300 Spartan beat the Persians with nuclear missiles ?

I wander if you'll make a video about if the entire german 2021 army (navy, airforce, army) in 1942 1-2 weaks before stalingrad or in 1943 2-3 weks before kursk

There's a few factors not taken into account in this scenario. 1) The role of the Kriegsmarine. The modern Luftwaffe would take a heavy toll on both the Allied air force and the Allied navy, which would greatly assist the Kriegsmarine to take a more active role than was historically the case. Whatever shipping the Luftwaffe wasn't able to sink, you can be the Kriegsmarine would be able to mop up, leaving very little that made it to the shore. 2) Both Allies and Axis (and probably Soviets) would instantly start trying to reverse-engineer the new technology to make more/their own copies of it, as well as start trying to devise some sort of countermeasures. It would take weeks or months to even start getting some results, but since this war wouldn't be ending anytime soon it is very much relevant. The Germans of course would have a massive advantage with intact examples of the technology to work with. Allies might obtain a crashed plane if they're lucky, or maybe a fully intact one if one of the modern Luftwaffe pilots were to defect which let's be honest there's a good chance that would happen because of reasons that don't need to be explained. 3) Allied Strategic bombing campaign over Germany would be crushed by the modern Luftwaffe and SAMs. This means German factories and industry would not be as heavily devastated as it historically was, and would be able to recover. This means German production on all armaments would be far greater than historically the case, and this would have an impact on the war in ways that are difficult to calculate. For these three and maybe other reasons I say its a lot less likely for an Allied victory than Binkov suggests. His simulation isn't properly taking these factors into consideration.

German modern air forces have moved back in time but retained the tactics of the 40s. Haha :) It makes no sense to disable ships at sea and planes in the air. Having advantages in speed, in gun power, and most importantly in intelligence. It was easier to strike at fuel depots, ammunition, troop deployments, air defense, airports, and ports. Destroy bridges and train stations throughout the United Kingdom. With an approach time of 30 minutes, it would be possible to calmly destroy the headquarters and command centers and paralyze the control of the army.

Please do a scenario in a an other timeline where staufenberg succeed, a separate peace deal was archived and thus the whole German military was thrown against the Soviets in summer 1944 before operation Bagraton

The Tornadoes could go low level over the beaches dropping cluster munitions. Causing enough casualties might cause the Allies to give pause to push any further.

History Channel on Midnight be like:

They can fly straight to London and demolish every important military and symbolic target in an hour. With a lot of tankers they might even be able to destroy targets in the US.

Our modern air force cant even stop from falling apart from the lack of spare parts.

I would expect the germans to do raids on allied airfields as well, to prevent them from bringing as many planes as quickly. And as you've pointed out, strafing ground targets from the air had a bad consistency record, so I'd expect the germans to focus on transport aircraft, ignoring allied fighters, as their limited range would more than likely prevent them from giving chase, trying to catch them on the ground, and having the german team focusing on a fast turn around time, trying to maintain some presence at all times.

There is the same mistake with ammunition and the effects of its shortage Binkov makes in all his videos. The allies don't know that the amount of missles is limited. After losing thousands of planes the allies would just stop attacking until they figure out what the fuck is going on. Even if the generals want ot go in all guns blazing: Good luck in getting men to board their planes and start when the last three attacks had a 100% casualtiy rate.

I think a better tactic would be to have the modern fighters focus on the capital ships in the navy as those take much longer to replace. Once those are removed, you could have the German submarines attack. Also, attacking the fighter bases in England, especially at night, would be quite effective in taking out the Allied airforce. A few well-placed laser-guided bombs could also take out the command leadership of the Allies. Using the modern fighter's asymmetric advantages could have a much larger impact than just counting the number of missiles that they shoot at enemy fighters.

9:05 i need to defend fatherland ! (Rolling.On.Floor.Laughing)

What do April, 6th 2021 and May, 8th 1945 have in common? The Luftwaffes got four combat-ready jets...

This video was very entertaining to watch, but it also painfully reminded me of how absolutely poopy the modern day Luftwaffe is.

The fact is that humans are not robots. If such damage was imposed on the allies' airforce by Luftwaffe, many pilots at the allies' side would have been simply intimidated to take part in the war. During the war in Afghanistan where the Soviets were fighting Mujahidins, many Russian helicopter pilots used to simply refuse to fly because the Afghans efficiently targeted and downed Russian helicopters by the NATO made MANPADS. However, the video was funny as usual 😁

German sees “made in Israel” *becomes fuhrerius*

Yeah but if allies are not aware of what Germans have of modern weapons (and how much of!), when they encounter such hard resistance at first day, they would probably just cancel whole operation until they investigate what happened. Then, the future will depend on how much they are able to gather information... if they are not able to find out that Germans have limited amounts of modern missiles, they would never push the action again!

And here I am...at 3 in the morning on a saturday and watching THIS...quarantine at its finest

Commissar Binkov, please do: Could the modern Japanese Air Self-Defense Force stop the US bombardment of Japan in 1945?

The outcome would be different to the video. The allies lost a few thousand men on D day (mainly at Omaha) and this was enough for them to consider withdrawing from that beach. Had the modern planes targeted the battleships and cruisers and large troopships the allied casualties would have been massive (10000- 20000 + on D Day) and together with lack of navel gunfire support this would have caused the allies to abort the landings. The recon and situational awareness would have made a massive difference and a Tornado flying along south coast and London at supersonic speed would have broke every window for miles and scared the crap out of civilians.

If Luftwaffe can surge for 3 days, the Allies would suffer horrific losses. 2E and 4E bombers would drop like flies from modern canon rounds. Even Tornado IDS fighters would have a field day. You forgot to include advanced combat trainers btw.

These time traveling videos are awesome! Keep it up

I think the value of the Eurofighters cannon was disregarded in this scenario. Once out of missiles, they could have destroyed several more planes per sortie very easily with their lead computing radars.

I disagree. Pilots and ship crews take time to replace, and the landings would fail, as the lack of bombardment on the beaches would mean mines and defenses are up, plus lack of supply. Long term of course, the allied forces would still win, but just, as with cannon fire the modern forces would take out scores of bombers and fighters.

Royal Navy: Too many of us... You will eventually have to go home for fuel and ammo.... Modern Luftwaffe: Ja.. But we leave you some air-dropped sea mines to keep you company... #BinGleichWiederDaTommy...

Imagine you're an allied soldier who just landed in France and you hear the roar of a tornado lining your beach up for a bombing run.

Well, since the Eurofighters won't fly and are mostly in a state of disrepair, thus effectively grounded.... I'd say it wouldn't make a difference 😂

Italy vs Greece When (click that like button so he can see it)

Stop? Hell no. Delay? Definitely. However, why aren't the modern Luftwaffe using their inbuilt cannons? A wave of jets doing a low fly-by while strafing the land force will severely demoralised the landing troops further delaying it.

Rather than destroying the actual plane, i bet they would target the airfields to make the thousands of allied planes useless

You seem to forgot, drones are guided by GPS which doesn't exist at the time. Remotely? You need a network of relays for that, again where GPS comes in.

when you deploy your tier 1 plane against jet planes in war thunder

the sad truth is no, because we only have 3 operational fighters

This is interesting great job bro keep up the good work👍

OR, only use precision weapons for targeting british ports and airfields. They could completely cut the allies off from their logistics chain.

I love your videos but I don´t think you put enough thought in the ship destroying ability or more specific how many of the ships really matter. The Allies might have used 7k ships. But around 38 ships (the largest troop transports) were responsible for carrying about 25% of the infantry landed on D-Day. Destroying those, which make up less than 1% of the fleet, is worse than Omaha Beach on every beach since it means more than 10k loses for Omaha and more than 5k for the others each, before the landings even start. Add in the 7 battleships, 25 cruisers, 2 monitors and we are still way under the 100+ ships that the modern day German air force could destroy without even really giving it their all. They could easily in addition to the ships mentioned destroy 1/3 of the destroyers. On Day one. Without really trying that hard. Most likely the invasion will be called off at that point and any destroyers and bigger warships fleeing German/French waters. Still if we go with the mindset that the invasion is to big to be called off: The modern day German air force could complete the task of destroying the destroyers plus any big warships called in as replacement and would still have capacity to destroy more transport ships on Day two. Again focusing on the biggest ships and leaving the smaller ones to the regular WWII era German air force and coastal batteries, many of the later which would have been originally taken out or suppressed by the now missing warships. Unless the Allies continue to feed large ships into the fire, day three would be the day the modern day German air force starts looking for bigger ships elsewhere. A few days later the question is not how to supply the invasion in France but the British Isles themselves. The modern German air force easily doing what the German WWII U-boats and Navy could not, blockading Britain. Note the Allies can´t easily out produce the modern day German air force when it comes to replacing big ships, like it can with planes.

American soldier :-" This is a machine gun " German Lad :- goes back in time " Yes it is " ( Erika playing in background )

To avoid a 20 minute video. Yes.

I thought im the only one thinking of such scenarios ...well i was wrong..thx for this fabeoulous program🙏👏

History fans: "Stop! You are not even making any sence." History enjoyers:

Forgetting the morale factor of these jets destroying aircraft and ships with impunity. Better usage of the airforce would be concentrating on capitol ships and precision bombing port facilities in Britain rather than shooting down some spitfires and mustangs.

somewhat modern german army does operation barbarossa

This Video is so unrealistic. Actual German Planes don't fly only Maintenance😂
