Can you imagine stumbling upon this aircraft back then. You are like 20 years old and you find yourself looking at this futuristic space ship looking thing with no propeller. wow.

"More pilots came forward and volunteered." That's the spirit, lads!

I am a man, only using my girlfriends account. I live in a village near Kirchheim unter Teck. The Hasenholz (harewood) is not large, it is between the villages Nabern and Jesingen, which are both town districts of Kirchheim unter Teck. Some year ago i saw this launching platforms, but as far as i know two of them are now destroyed for the reason of constructing a new railway line, if the third is still existing, i do not know. For british readers: at this place you can not oversee(?)- übersehen in german language, the mount Teck with the ruins of Teck castle. The grandmother of Elisabeth II was Mary von Teck.

Imagine a German pilot that went from flying a Bf 109/Fw 190 to a Me 262/Me 163 and then to a Natter.

Wow, this is the best military history channel on RU-vid. The videos are just the right length, not too long, not too short either and chock-full of information you're not going to find anywhere else on RU-vid.

@paoloviti6156 5 лет назад

PugnaciousBadger I agree fully with you! Again he did a wonderful job because although I knew the story very well he gave excellent and accurate history and I never seen most of original documentaries and nowadays lunching sites! Great...

@wape1 5 лет назад

I agree wholeheartedly. Got to give props to a content creator who cuts his video only 20 seconds before the magical 10 minute mark, which the dreaded Algorithm so loves.

@olengagallardo8551 5 лет назад

Alot of the stuff the germans developed were truely cutting edge,but as Mark Felton commented,it was a matter of "too little too late".

@demonmonsterdave 5 лет назад

Most channels are 30% intro, 20% rubbish and maybe 50% of recycled content. However, this is a truly great channel. I can honestly say that I learn something new in every video, and in most of them it's all new. Well done for giving us interesting and new stuff without stupid graphics or other crap. I really respect this channel and I am sharing it with everyone. Thanks very much.

@perrydowd9285 5 лет назад

These obscure German experimental aircraft are fascinating. Somehow I feel better that they were developed so late in the war. Their potential scares me.

@vice6996 5 лет назад

i'm pretty sure the airmen feel the same. imagine seeing a toy glider approaching you at 600mph then seeing a couple dozen whizbang rockets shoot out it's nose. there's no defense for that.

@OKMX5 5 лет назад

1000km/h in a wooden frame with a nose detachment function... crazy and incredible at the same time.

@jeremybear573 5 лет назад

Mark, could you do a video of how the British forces were reorganized and also how they were implemented after the incident at Dunkirk. I believe this is a very interesting topic that has received very little attention at least here in the United States. Thank you for your hard work and continued research and informative videos

@maximthemagnificent 5 лет назад

As a kid I had some early 50's rocket engine and missile design books that had been my grandfather's (he was an engineer who worked in ordinance during the war) and they talked a lot about German WWII developments. Always thought the Natter was interesting. Was great to learn more details about the fatal launch attempt. Thanks!

@coldsharkride 5 лет назад

I saw that Natter in Munich myself in 1982. Super cool to see it again, and to know that I saw one of the few surviving Natters, even if it was not ever fully operational.

@NorceCodine 5 лет назад

Notice that if you cover up the rockets in the nose and make the solid fuel boosters a little bigger, its the Space Shuttle. Thats no coincidence. When Nasa was looking for a design that stays intact at 25 times the speed of sound at re-entry into the atmosphere, they looked up the old German designs. The Natter had all the requirements - vertical launch, boosters, supersonic speed, and carried an "astronaut".

@jamesricker3997 5 лет назад

Using a highly combustible, corrosive fuel, a wooden airframe of questionable structural integrity and it was built using slave labor by people who had a vested interest in the aircraft not working.

Unfortunately the site in Kirchheim will have been largely destroyed by the new railway line on your map, but the southernmost concrete remains should still be visible.
