I read the wartime accounts of a Swordfish navigator once, and he wrote about visiting home during the V bombings. Apparently, while the much larger V2s got the press, the V1s were more terrifying. The V2s were so heavy they’d bury themselves, minimizing the damage from the explosion. The V1s would explode on impact, causing far more death and destruction

[@watahyahknow]

from wat i understood the v2 exploded in the air causing a lot of mayham , the people in the street wouldnt know wat would happen untill the where inside the explosion

[@englishpassport6590]

The Nazi's used slave labour for the VIs production. The Vi only cost the equivalent of £110 pounds each to manufacture

[@ChrisBagley-c2n]

The V2 was a liquid fuelled rocket which was supersonic therefore it hit the ground before the sound of it arrived some seconds later. Therefore there was no warning of its arrival. It was not an air burst weapon. Initially it was thought to be a gas main explosion. There was no defence against it. As a weapon it was very inefficient, the casualty rate was about 1 death per weapon.

Beautiful artwork yet again - the skies and landscapes are particularly impressive. I read of one pilot who 'tipped' a V1, only to his horror see it crash right on the main line to Waterloo, blowing a crater in front of an approaching passenger train. The engine's driver was a quick thinking hero himself - instead of hitting the brakes, he increased speed and jumped the train over the hole. This kept all the couplings tight, and the carriages upright and in line as they derailed, fortunately with minimal injuries to the passengers. Had he tried to stop instead, the resulting smash could have been much worse. PS - I commented on the artistic touches in your 'Shermans behind Enemy Lines' film, and forgot to include the rainbow which briefly appears in one scene. Its the little things like that that really make these films worth watching; your crew are genuine artists each in their own right with some wonderful imagination. Well done, all of you

[@tauncfester3022]

From what I recall the V-1 weren't physically flipped for long, some pilot discovered if you got your wing tip just in front of the flying bomb's wing, that the rotor off your wing tip would dirty up the air, once in front of the V-1's wing and the bomb would roll over. You didn't need to flip it into a wild axial roll, just getting off of level beyond 45 degrees would disable the V-1's gyro stabilization.

Might not seem that big at first glance but the V1 contains an 850kg warhead, that is enormous for just a single device (that you fire once). Average artillery shell would contain 10-20 kg at most, some could contain dozens of kilos but those were very large caliber howitzers. There were a very small number of guns that could fire an 850kg shell (or larger) but they were very impractical and expensive so I wouldn't really count them.

That's a V-1 flying bomb (German: Vergeltungswaffe 1 "Vengeance Weapon 1") aka [English] buzz bomb or doodlebug. That particular weapon had quite the demoralizing effect on an already badly bombed out London. It's distinctive rattling engine noise was easily identifiable, but worse was when the rocket cut out, and the silence as it glided in before a massive explosion. Along with the V-2, had it come in earlier in the war it would have been a massive game changer for the Germans. Still very experimental they were deployed out of desperation, as many blew up on the launch pad during fuelling because the chemical mix was that volatile. The German V Weapons were real nightmare fuel. The Allies capturing V1 and V2 rockets along with "Liberating" German rocket scientists and engineers like Wernher Von Braun led eventually to NASA, and the moon landings.

Mainly, the bomb flipping manauver was rare and short lived as pilots would often hit the bomb with their ammo and detonate it therefore this was prefered to allowing to land somewhere where it may still damage and kill. However after the few rare cases of this flipping reached the Germans, they introduced detonators into the later V1s on the wing tips so that if an attempt to flip it was made, the bomb would detonate and severely damage the aircraft next to the bomb, and so pilots feared this and were hesitant to flip.

This act took #1 Balls of Steel, and #2 a lack of knowledge regarding the rockets mechanisms.

My polish father was a fighter pilot and tipped V1s with his spitfire. Online records show 6 2:11 but his own pilots logbook records 9, I believe.

The V-1 was called the doodlebug, but it was also call the buzz bomb do to the sound it makes.

[@SE4943]

shame he didnt use the real sound. way scarrier.

Britain's jet fighter was charged with shooting down V1 flying bombs, the Gloster Meteor never encountered the German Messerschmitt 262 in combat.

Yeah that's right cruise missiles existed even before the 90's and early 20th century They were one of Hitler's wonder plus they were kind of Cheap to make weapon's and also I noticed a lot of details the animation now on yarnhub are amazing it's improved a lot over the years

Let's goo, your videos are insanity now, I get all my war info from you guys.

The V2’s were just as terrifying if not more so. No sound, no noise. Just an explosion out of the blue. However, I do believe the V2’s were far less successful at hitting targets. And then there was Hitler’s V3. That thing never worked I believe but if it did the damage caused by it would have been devastating. Great work Team Yarnhub and just like the V2 rocket keep launching more episodes, as they only get better and better!

Gun camera footage survived showing this maneuver on V1 buzz bombs. Turned out to be safer and more reliable when perfected.
