Dear God. Thank you for your brave service Bomber Command crews. Today we can't get through a rainy day without the drama of a weather warning: how could we step up again if ever we needed to?

What gets me is that BRITAIN declared War on Germany, Then Britain moans and cries that Germany is bombing the crap out of them. Nun, Großbritannien hätte Deutschland damals nicht den Krieg erklären sollen, was haben Sie erwartet

This film reminds me so much of Das Boot. Astounding what one can achieve in just 10 minutes.

Name movie pls?

Mi avevano scambiato per la V2 dell’amico .. Fritz ??

Non sarà una Fiesta a farti la Fiesta ? Non è ancora detto … Comunque ..

Se avevano la maschera producevano scie ma era notte pure nuvolosa .. Guarda caso ..

Pure il Vesuvio acceso x l’occasione !

My Dad was a pilot/navigator in RAF during WW II. He trained in Canada under the BCATP. He knew more about the Avro Lancaster than aviation historians or plane guides flying the planes to WW II air shows. He passed away in January 2015 at age 91. Part of the Greatest Generation, he is forever loved and missed.

This is better than most movies nowadays. Absolutely fantastic!

full movie name that I can't find anything on the internet

War equals politicians and fanatics sending brave brave men to fight for their fantasies and its about time it all stopped with all this crap and start having peace amongst all men and fanatics RIP to all the exceptionally brave men and women that gave their lives in the interests of peace !

My granddad was a rear gunner on a Lancaster. Killed in action in the skies above Normandy in July-44.

Great movie, was emotional at the end. Love this movie, 10/10. One of my ancestors called Reginald who was likely stationed or based at RAF Full Sutton where his plane took off and was a flight engineer, whom was apart of the 77 Squadron during World War Two, - also a Sergeant as he was in the RAF. The plane was a Page Halifax MK3 registration NA545, he went to bomb an Oil Plant or something similar in Germany, Sterkrade as from taking of from RAF Full Sutton on the 16th or 17th of June 1944, the plane was probably shot down by a night fighter, he never returned and was killed in action. Nobody survived that crash as all the crew was killed in action. You will be truly missed and I also pay my respect to those others who died during the War. 😥❤

When I was a mother engineer I di som work in a garage in Hackney London and chatted with the mechanic boss . He flew lancs as a pilot did 75 missions married and a dad and was 18 years old ! The story’s he told me turned your hair . One mission every plane 12 in total blew up before and around them he said the feeling of death then a peace could be felt in the plane he knew that was it then some one on intercom said this is it skip , then another yes it’s the one every one knew they were going to die . He told me I told bombardier drop bombs were going home , the felling in that plane was unbelievable you could feel life return , we’d lost the hole squadron that night and no one made it to the target. He told me of shrapnel would come in through the plane past him over the engineer head as he bent over to adjust something and out the other side . Pices of red shrapnel landing on his jacket wile flying and burning through. He said they would pick up metal in the plane and no one ever got injured. At the end of the war he was in Germany airfield and ordered to fly a ju52 he told me he had this feeling of death and refused the co saying you can court marshal me but I’m not flying that and nether should you sir it’s not safe the co was not happy he would deal with him later and flew it himself can’t remember what was onboard but to say it lifted off turned and went straight in to the ground killing all . He said you just get this feeling and knew. That was in 1984 I’ve bee lucky to meet service men pilots and tank and the story’s ……

44.4584% Never returned, I wonder how many people of later generations, would take on a job with a 55% chance of survival. They were all truly brave and honourable men who took to the skies to take on such a task, and probably with only a few hours of training as well, for a lot of them. Regret that i had no interest in the second world war when my grandparents were alive, and never got the chance to speak with them about it, unsure even if they even would, as they had not really spoken to their own children about the war. One grandfather, gave his kids his medals to play with (as he did not care for them) and they got buried in their garden in the 50's my father told me. But i have at least got his commando knife, as he was in one of the first groups to sign up for commando training i believe, and I have an awesome 1st Pattern Fairbairn/Sykes Fighting Knife of his. My utmost respect to all veterans, you shall be remembered.

45% death rate! MY GOD! US 8th Airforce was about the same. People now just can't fathom the sacrifices made in that war....because it's not taught!!!!

This is only a test

Both the American and British suffered high casualties in the bombing campaign over Europe. There sacrifices should never be forgotten

A generation of men the like we will never see again.

Heroes one and all!. The survivor guilt must have been terrible for those poor lads who lost mates and came back. Lest we forget!.

What you don't get on these films is the horrendous noise of 4 Merlins vibrating the airframe its painful.I know

Superb, superb, superb, thx

Brilliant short film. We really do owe our lives to the brave men who served in the RAF

My father piloted Lancaster. 13 night bombing missions. Shot down Feb 44 on Augsberg raid. All survived thanks to French resistance but betrayed and captured. Rest of the war in camp in Folingbosel. Never talked much about it. Just did what had to be done. All heroes.

My uncle, F/Sgt Walter Buckwell, was a Halifax pilot and was killed over Holland with most of his crew in May 1943. Thankfully, my father and other uncle survived the war to return home, they're all gone now. Lest We Forget.

My father flew the Lanc on many dangerous missions over the Atlantic into battle with the enemy. Thankfully he survived. 🇬🇧 Honour our heroes.

British War Criminals.

All those men fought for a country our corrupt government gave away. What an absolute disgrace to the memory of those brave men, makes me sick.

Thank you for your service guys! Tom You giving Them a milion respect

That pilot looks 70 years old, not 18 or 19 like they were.

These guys left their homes...and went off to save the world...

Well Done

🇬🇧💔🇬🇧💔🇬🇧💪🇬🇧✌️🇬🇧✌️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧👏👏👏👏

I'm with the Germans. Sorry!

Wow…thanks for the service and sacrifice of these men and their loved ones. Thank you for this video.

Poor Boy's 😢😢

Bravest of the brave. Blue sky's ahead lads blue sky's.......

Ex Military myself, my Ex Fiance her grandfather was a navigator he was lost on a raid on konigsberg- 50 Sqn, Skellingsthorpe - lancaster NF921 - VN-Q 30.08.1944 - Even after all these years I have never forgotten him……they say to remember means they will live forever

Why didnt they bail out?

What an amazingly haunting gem. 👏 A fairy tale.

I knew a man; Gilbert Gilles Boulanger a French Canadian like me. He did more missions than he was supposed to do. He was tail gunner. RIP😢

My Dad was a tail gunner, I have his log book, 300 miles on one engine, shot up by FW, etc, He was an Irish volunteer, ended up in the RCAF, flew one tour and a bit, a stint in the pathfinders, etc, came home to Ireland and treated as less than dirt. The tried for a time to talk about it but none was interested. Lest we forget!

They were mass murderers!

I took my late friend who was a W/Op with 57 Squadron to visit the BoB Lancaster at Coningsby 60 years after he last sat in one. He sat in his crew position and I asked him if could he remember what in Morse code was, 3dits-4dits-2dits-dah. He answered correctly at once. Can you work it out.

Our Accountant at the Tenterfield Shire council NSW did 70+ missions as a Pilot Officer. I only found out when he marched on Anzac Day one year and saw his medals . He was so unassuming I even was in his daughters class at school

Yes but not all were from Lancasters

Four Merlins!!

My dad flew with 101 Sqn A Flight as an m/u gunner completed 32 missions over the March-Sep 1944 period. Flew out of Ludford Magna UK. The Sqn suffered about 50% casualties. I saw the book of remembrance in the village chapel during a visit to the village in 2015. My dad did speak of loading up the barracks boxes of the crews that didn’t come back on to a truck. The boxes were taken to Sqn stores to sort out personal kit from military kit. His Sqn was a special ops Sqn assigned to broadcast jamming noise on to German night fighter frequencies from their aircraft. That exposed the aircraft of their Sqn. Hence the high casualties.
