Why the Nazi Kamikaze Jet was so evil... 

Are you telling me that the Nazi kamikaze missile program should've used SquareSpace?

A design inaccuracy with your model. The V1 and its piloted version are pulsejet powered. Unlike traditional jet engines, pulsejets don’t have turbines inside the engine. Instead, pulsejets fire in spurts. The side effect makes the jet create a unique and incredibly loud noise, giving the V1 its iconic nickname, The Buzz Bomb.

the pulse jet didnt have a fan

I guess you could call them ... Kamanazi?

I knew Japan had these kamikaze planes but had no idea the Germans did.

If you are thinking about bailing out, you've got a jet intake right behind you

"the nazis should have used Squarespace" may not have been the best choice of words...

Square space, helping you design your Nazi death glider. brilliant.

Now you gotta do one on japans manned missile

It would be inserting use for the emergency fighter program.

As the war in Europe ended Ford Motor Company and Republic Aviation in the US was building a V-1 copy for use against Japan. Many were launched from Florida in the direction of Cuba and some got "confused" and headed back towards Florida.

Heck yes, finished night shift and get to relax with a found and explained video, great morning indeed.

Interesting Video, but please note they are pronounced M-E, H-E, F-I, J-U, not Me, He, Fi or Ju.

I like how CC censors Focke-wulf

To his credit, it was Admiral Donitz who took one look at this madness and ordered it stopped. Considering what a nut-job he was, this is a surprising flash of humanity.

The pilot had a parachute and there was an auto pilot to handle the last 20 seconds of flight so it wasn’t deadly kamikaze. Japanese kamikaze were bolted and locked into their cockpit canopy.

Would love to see a video on some of the late war Japanese prototypes like the Kyushu J7W Shinden canard fighter plane, Nakajima Kikka and Ki-201 jet fighters, and the Mitsubishi J8M rocket interceptor. Also a video on "Project Z", the Japanese equivalent of the German "Amerika Bomber" project, would be awesome to see since it's a little-known yet interesting part of WWII history.

Any chance "Found & Explained" could cover the Heinkel He 280 jet fighter prototype as well?

Click bait title. The Reichenberg would not have extended the war and it was not maneuverable enough to dodge fighter aircraft. Hanna Reitsch did NOT win the Knight’s Cross, she was awarded the Iron Cross. Hajo Hermann is pronounced Hayo. Honestly, your research and pronunciation is woeful

For future reference, the "W" in "Luftwaffe" is pronounced like the "v" in "van". Hope that helps :)

A manned V1? Holy shit it's like the ohka. Unlike the Ohka, the manned V1 pilot was intended to be able to jump out right before impact and parachute down.

Minor tidbit- you may want to refer to the Heinkel aircraft such as the "He-162" as saying the letters one at a time or simply say the name of the company "Heinkel 111" for instance. Most aviation circles I know say it that way

My grandma told me about how our uncle used to be a technician crew before being sent to berlin

Amazing ! thanks Great video!

There's something really funny about a piloted pulse jet aircraft. Even in modern days the sight and sound of a civilian piloted one would be hysterical, considering how loud they are...

Everything ive ever read has never suggested these were designed to be suicide attacks. The pilots were supposed to bail out, although it would be very difficult to do in practice. The Luftwaffe didnt like the idea of suicide attacks as a principle. It was desperation. The V1s were pulse jet, not turbine or rocket The first organised Kamikaze attacks were after DDay, so the Germans couldnt have been inspired by them before that

Hey guys, can you tell me what background song at 0:00 - 0:13 at mig 29 story

These planes were proposed, but I have never heard that they were actually deployed. Love to find the source for them being deployed

I guess this truly is a case where the missile knows where it is XD. Great video, unfortunate matter.

The V3 rocket is actually that antigravity flying "tictac" UAP found by US fighter pilots

Hajo is pronounced as Hayo. Hanna Reitsch did not have a Knights Cross but only the Iron Cross 1st class.

25 minutes? Not bad!

I’m surprised the pilots had to sign a waiver

They could've just put guns on the plane; it probably could've been a last-ditch fighter/interceptor.

Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Mueaum in Everett, Wa has the Kamikaze V1 on display. Next to a V-1 and V-2 and other german jet aircraft.

one fun(?) fact about the Japanese Ocka suicide rocket plane： the impact detonator was too stiff and the connection between the warhead and the plane was poorly built (thus intergrally too weak) so when those kamikaze fleet rammed the american ship, the japanese pilot usually get crushed to death instently wile the warhead tend to snap off the crushed flat fuselage and dash off after punshing a hole on the other side of the ship above waterline, and all the american ship end up getting is some damage super structure plus a fresh human shape patty for those sailors whom crave for burgers :P

If they wanted the pilots to survive, they'd been given the opportunity to bail out from the bottom of the craft.

Would not an pulsejet be perfect for the Oka? As I understand the Oka had limited range as in around 40 km because solid fuel rockets, this was to close to the fighter screen so the bombers tend to be shot down. Yes you also need target id but you could use fast fighters for that.

the Pilot was supposed to bail out just before impact, it wasnt a suicide airplane at all. oh and the v1 and this manned variant uses a pulsejet, there is no rotating part

Was looking for a video before I started my morn’ shit. You have no idea how fast I clicked this, I can now shit in peace.🙏

They should have designed a belly hatch for ejection, and do a vertical dive if they want the pilot to be able to parachute and still be on target.🤣

video idea: what if the airbus beluga was a flying aircraft carrier?

That is nuts

Man! I really enjoy all of your nazi-aviation-tech videos! Hope you make more!!

08:14: In you model is a jet engine depicted, but the V1 and its derivates used a PDE (Pulse Detonation Engine), which doesn't spin around. It has flaps which open and close rapidly. (PDE's were handled already in other videos on this channel).

Love your vids, and since you mentioned it: I think Fiesler is pronounced Feesler (using an anglophone tongue). All good though, I butcher names all the time too.

3:55 so they should have made an squarespace website to convince people to make suicide attacks on allied shipping? XD Sorry i couldn't miss the bad timing of that ad xD

The Fieseler was insane. It's not like Germany, Prussia or the Teutonic Knights have a culture of honor-driven ritualistic suicide like Japan has with seppuku, but they still managed to get fanatics to volunteer. The Ohka was an understandable development for Japan, they did kamikaze runs with regular aircraft like the Mitsubishi A6M Zero or Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar loaded with extra munitions for more damage, so a purpose-built kamikaze plane isn't too far out of left field. Also, 1% survival rate? Modern-day gacha players would take those odds.🤣1

plz make a video on focke wulf ta283 super lorin

I had spoken with Hanna Reisch at the early 70th about this topic. The Reichenberg was designed as testbed for improving the Fi103.There were plans to give it steering ability and improve its accuracy. It was never meand for suicide actions. Some verry entusiasticly joung man asked about the possibility to use the Reichenberg in this way, So they start a Selbstaufopferungsgruppe, but this idea was not liked among the officers. Not a single Reichenberg was used in combat only in testflights.

Bcoz having suicide in the name of the aircraft doesn't explain it is evil already?

Those things actually flew!?

V1 flying kamikaze

chery blossom missle v2.

Take care of yourself bro.

The title says it all

Sounds like Slapped Ham.

kid. those piloted v1 made to test the flying characteristics of the plane. the geramans had radio controlled missiles with tv camera and used them sucessfully against boats.

Fuck youtube censorship.

It's called the reichenberg if I remember correctly.

Hello Nick. I Know is annoying to ask but could you make an video of the B-36 Peacemaker in future? Also can't wait to see this film❤

The Kettering bug 1918

i want this in warthunder

I doubt that the Germans would make that because it's hard enough too shoot down a v1

How does ur sponsor take the idea of suicide squadrons bot being good because they didnt had squarespace?

legends remember the old title like if you agree

Mate that segue to the Squarespace ad was diabolical.

W video! keep it up

It isn’t he. It is H E

Similar to the baka bomb aka the cherry blossom

Well the Japanese managed to do this called the Sakura were it did managed to score some hits and suck some ships during the late wars in the Pacific but they mostly they have to be carried by medium bombers that American Radars can detect them before the Sakura can reach its range for about less then 23 miles. It was just a waste of life as these pilots were brainwashed to be killed and ever return like a Sakura flower as it falls down the tree. Most of the pilots were undertrained and the Americans called them "Baka bombs".

Bro can you make a video about how was ww2 engineering school 🎉

Kamikaze: I sleep Kamikaze, Germany: *REAL SHIT*

So I’m just going to explain it from what I can put together from the thumbnail Germany put guys in the V-1 Flying Bomb

im gonna be honest with you chief, nothing whould extend the war past 1945, the americans had the nuke and thay did not care if thay whould drop it on germany or japan

Upon learning of the Ohka, I could never get over how it's silhouette--both overhead and in side profile--strongly resembles that of the A-10 "Warthog". Now, seeing this plane's trainer variants--with their forward cockpit placement--I can't help wonder if a design for a plane like the Warthog had been on file for years, but was overlooked & passed-over based on the how the future of military air power was seen as simply being "higher & faster"... with older prop planes being designated for ground control attacks, since such missions require long loiter times and high payload capacity. That is, until an aging fleet, along with the Vietnam war... and rumors of Soviet tank development... pushed need for the likes of the A-10.

Still waiting for the next grounded video

They weren’t suicide pilots my friend, they had a parachute and were instructed to bail out before they hit their target

Is this for real? I've never heard of these jets.

Isn't this the German version of the Japanese Okha Kamikaze plane. If you look at the German and Italian Kamikaze weapons the speedboats there is one key feature that sets them from the Japanese version is that the Germans and the Italians have the crew bail out unlike the Japanese version which has the crew explode with the boat. 1944 1945 era Shinyo🇯🇵 vs Linsen🇩🇪

Okay first, I never heard any connection with the Ouka and the V1Rs in any Japanese sources. Yes it's mentioned since it's similar but if anything the relations between the two would be more accurate with the Baika(梅花) special attack plane which was basically a Japanese designed V1R. Second: @12:23 Did you just say Germanese? Instead of Japanese? Jesus.

the germans would bail out just before the missile hit the ship

MiG 105 when????????????????????????

Fritz X also

2:06 why haven’t you used borders from 39/44? Map with modern borders makes no sense

Did this rendering display a turbofan or a pulsejet?

Signed a waiver?

2:25 Mark Felton

Kamikaze is the dumbest thing ever, train your pilots and put them in actual planes smh

could ze germans have built a fighter from the pulsejet engne?

Stop adding those annoying pings and clicks

almost won ww2?! wtf kinda clickbait bs title is this? I expected better from you.

From what I remember, AH forbade such waste of people's lives

Cancelled because they couldn't get pilots

yet another weapon that had literally NO chance of delaying the war's outcome. Just like the failed Japanese Ohka. If anything it accelerated the war's end by diverting precious german resources.

****CLICK BAIT******* The piloted V1 program had NO CHANCE of extending WWII!

Stupid title probably going to unsub from this I don't like sensationalist stuff (title changed)

I'm so glad I got home from a crappy day at work, and I see this was uploaded! And it's a secret WWII weapon! Best way to relax and de-stress 👌🏼

Who are the germanese?😆

Japan and Germany both had so many projects that were both: * Astoundingly high-tech and forward-thinking * Absolutely bonkers It really does boggle the mind at what they both were in the process of developing in late '44, early '45 that never saw production.
