THE LUFTWAFFE: The German Air Force - 24/7 Combat Ready | Full Documentary

The traditions of the German Air Force date back to the First World War. Daredevil fighter pilots like the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen achieved cult status and were celebrated as heroes. In the Second World War, the Luftwaffe was an indispensable instrument for carrying out the "Blitzkrieg". Civilian targets were also bombed mercilessly. The new Bundeswehr air force is now an integral part of NATO's defense structure and secures the West's air sovereignty.

Well that´s not really the true picture. German Airforce has already been fighting on many places. But that´s what had to be hidden a lot for some good reasons sometimes in the past. However GAF Combat Wing 1 already took some main roles (first in, last out etc.) for recce missions and to make gap in the enemy ground to air defence (what was key for all following allied forces for f.x. airstrikes) in for example UNPF, IFOR, SFOR, KFOR missions. I know cause I was part of that squadrone. So we got "our asses off" for loooong time already. And our fighting buddys from all the other allied nations incl. USAF, RAF, ..... will agree 100%. At the end of the Balkan war they (especially the USAF) statet they never want to attack without the GAF RECCE´s and ECR´s again ..... wherever it may be in the future. Then came Afghanistan and so on and so on....

After the kicking they got and deserved from the British and the mighty Spitfire and the courage and tenacity of the British people that wer vastly Outnumbered but still conquered Germany and the Skies Over Britain and Europe made the Luftwaffe look like a bunch of lost school boys totally defeated them out class them out engineered them and out thought them in every possible way imaginable 2 Hitler's horror and America was never attacked by Germany this is why you people are sympathetic towards them there is nothing to admire about Germany in World War 2 and to this day they were the last people to join in and help Ukraine Britain was the first to help as usual bravest and toughest people on the face of the earth second to no one

[@devvytm]

@@Bok2022st What in the world are you talking about? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Imagine pinning the victory of the allies on Britain who only survived because of its navy. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fought against them in Europe and lost. Fought against them in Africa and almost lost if not for the assistance of others. Fought against them near Greece and lost. Sent troop to the USSR to assist allies and lost right up until Winter came and bailed both militaries out. Come back here when the UK can actually defend itself and/or its allies without relying 100% of the time on the fact that there is water to between them and the rest of Europe. I mean even in the Falklands war where they admittedly performed well they only survived because of the issues that were already going on in Argentina in addition to the fact that there was water between Argentina and the islands. I mean...even Napoleon would have conquered Britain if not for that water...what are you even thinking 😂😂😂😂😂 As for the thing with Ukraine, Germany has valid reasons for not going against Ukraine. Unlike Britain who has the Americans to bail them out if they fk up, Germany is screwed if Russia cuts all exports to them. Sure, the closer summer gets the less of an issue this becomes but you seem to not understand that Europe experiences winter and winter = cold and cold = dead people without adequate heating and that heating comes from electricity which is substantially being provided through the use of gas, Russian gas. So no. Additionally, Germany has no strategic reasons (other than supporting what America wants) to align with Ukraine. They have nothing to gain from it outside of politics but have everything to lose by opposing Russia. In any case, they have taken a bold step forward so far and only time will tell how things go. However, I bet you won't be laughing if Germany remilitarises as you seemingly want only to conquer Europe again 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Despite all the mistakes and blunders of the American foreign policy, Western nations have always benefited from the security and support that the US military provided to Europe in the last 80 years. Although Russia is the most immediate security challenge, especially for the European Union, our cross Atlantic partnership and cooperation will have to grow to be able to play a role in keeping the international law based order in the face of a belligerent China. And although Pacific and East Asia seem like distant potential geographical points of conflict, the effects of those conflicts could have massive repercussion for the EU. Strategic blunders of multiple German administrations have positioned Germany in a terrible spot regarding the energy dependence on a dictatorial Putin's regime. Finally Germany has taken the view of "realpolitik" so famously followed by the first German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and I hope this change will continue after Putin looses the war of aggression.

I like the Mirage III and the Mirage 2000 but I'm afraid this one, the Eurofighter (A copy of the Rafaele) isn't ready to stand a chance against a SU or MIG 29.

[@indahooddererste]

its not a copy. france just dropped out of the programm and dont wanted to build a fighterjet from the scratch.

[@raboratory]

In fight simulations only the F-22 has a slightly higher win-ratio against the Typhoon.., as well against the Rafale. But beside the F-22, the Typhoon & Rafale rule the skies, even against the Su-57. Russian fighters may look the part, or like copies, but inside, mechanically & electronically they are almost 2 decades behind.

good day ! I am German and would like to explain something to you! Please look at aerial photos of the cities of East Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, from the year 1988, and please compare these photos with photos taken in 2022! You will notice that the pictures from 1988 look like the ones from 1945! After reunification in 1990, we had to rebuild the entire former GDR! That was expensive and is still not complete! Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Lithuania and Estonia ...we also supported .....we had to save money somewhere! So in the military !!!!! If you are American, a little hint Germany fits 2x in Texas ... it's a small country!

[@NickTheQuick82]

This is just bullshit from the finest. Why you tell people such an utterly crap? Photos from 45 look the same as 89...yeah sure. You probably never seen pictures from what you talking about. And I take every bet that you're a west german! People like you are the problem with the unification of Germany and probably still have a Wall in the Head! We build it by ourselves and all the example city's you talked about were already restored before the wall was build and Germany was divided. Thanks to the Marshall Plan and not thanks to west Germany 🤦‍♂️ Grow up Dude and become adult! Sheessshh

Did he say it took only 20 minutes to do an engine change? 14:30 And if so, is that correct? I'm not arguing, but that seems impossible to me. Maybe it was designed to snap on and off, like Legos.

Both engines can be swapped out in 45 minutes.

This show is not about the battle of Britain. That battle has many documentaries right here on YT. I suggest you look for them. The movies are also on here for free.

[@hughallen6621]

Fair comment. It was the first defeat for the Luftwaffe, which allowed the UK to become a large aircraft carrier. Without the battle, the Americans would never have been able to join the European land war, and the Russians would have ended up in Brittany. I'm really glad that the Germans are part of the NATO alliance, but it was a little churlish to have omitted any mention of it. By the way the Me 262 looked good on paper, but the engines were junk and it was often shot down by Mustangs, which had a much better turning radius and were faster in a dive.

Correction they are NOT maintained at all that is why less than Half are available and less than a Third of Helicopters are available. That is why the Germans asked for the UK to GIVE Germany, Free of Charge, its retiring Tornadoes because Germany BOUGHT NO SPARES. Uranus Von Der Liaring, as German defence Minister, did not see any need for "spare parts". Now she wants to Head Up an EU Armed Forces without any spare parts to save money????

The first ever jet fighter used in battle was a German plane. Messerschmitt Me 262 The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.

that's why flight and maintenance cost are triple or quadruple now, unlike WW2

[@codiersklave]

If you study the losses of German Luftwaffe units in WW2, you will find that the number of fatal accidents, that had nothing to do with damage from enemy contact, was incredibly high. Some units even lost more pilots to accidents than to enemy action. So I'd say it is worth the additional effort 😉

[@strikezero01]

@@codiersklave I'm talking about the statistic about having a modern warplane not the very history. Thinking how much for the maintenance for one fight plane , no wonder we only buy 12 fighter jet. 4 or 8 are for operational the other are for inventory. I don't know if single engine fighter low maintenance cost would work.
