Fun fact, the body of the ME262 jet fighter was manufactured in my primary school. That's not a joke, the building has since been replaced, but when i was in school we were still in that old half run down building that was the exact place the planes were built. It was a concentration camp which was partially destroyed, and when the war ended the refugees needed a place to stay, so they never demolished the still standing buildings. Eventually it was turned into a school, and in the 2000s it was still standing.

5:07 Germany was prohibited by the treaty of Versailles to even comission any military planes. The Weimar Republic had a tech cooperation treaty with the equally shunned Soviet Union to at least somewhat keep up with developments and when the Nazis took power they started a covert rearmament programme right off the bat, commissioning the Heinkel He-51 biplane in 1934 (like many planes of the early 30s pretty much still a WW1 design with 1930s Tech Level) which was quickly replaced by the much more advanced Messerschmitt Bf-109. So it's not true to say Germany modernized its WW1 air forces to the BF-109. Its WW1 Air forces were entirely demobilized, decommissioned and mostly destroyed in 1919.

The stuka "sirens" were simple propellers that spun in flight to create noise. The pilots complained about them since they had to listen to their noise whenever in the air, not just while diving.

The F-104G didnt just crash because of a leak of Pilot traning it was many reasons coming together. Also a problem was that the luftwaffe just buyed all those starfighters but didnt even had hangars for all of them so most need to stay outside by every weather something as you can guess is not the best thing for a supersonic fighter

Brilliant work sir, most enjoyable.

If possible, could you do a video of the Swedish army uniform evolution, I know they have some history stretching back to the medieval ages which might be hard to get information about the uniforms, but it would be fun to see.

Would love to see this on the Swedish Air Force since it has alot of interesting designs

There was a third major German bomber, the Ju 88, which was faster and sturdier than the He 111 and Do 17. It could be used either as a dive bomber or level bomber, and even saw service as a night fighter. It had the best success rate of the three bombers in the Battle of Britain. It resembled your artwork of the Do17, except it had only one rudder (fin?). The Do 17 had a very thin fuselage and was referred to as the flying pencil.

Great video! It's just a bit unfortunate that you skipped over so many aircraft that played important roles like the He51 or FW189

Do a video on the evolution of the Chinese army uniform.

4:39 Gotha Co Fast :D

Crazy how much work are in these Videos respect

Great work on these guys. Thank you!

7:50 VOLDEMORT?

Please do more of these evolution of vehicles ,alot of us like them

Being a massive fan of aviation, this was awesome to see! Thank you!

I clicked on this video just for the thumbnail. Wow that looks amazing.

i loved the video. but i think you missed the Fiat G.91R/3 wich is the german version designed with the DEFA 30mm cannons and German avionics for better performance. wich served well as a trainer and as a fighter jet while a Homemade design was being worked on.

I would have included the Alpha Jet as it was developed by Germany and France, thus it’s more „German“ than the Starfighter or Fiat G.91.

Would love to see a British, American and Japanese version of this..... such a interesting video

9:08 the Fw-190D’s engine was still supercharged like the 190A but used a more powerful three-speed two-stage supercharger, and the later Ta-152 would use this in addition to an intercooler. In addition to this new setup the 190D’s true key to high-altitude success was the use of Methanol-Water injection.

Not all Doras used three-speed superchargers. The D-9, the most produced sub-variant, used a two-speed supercharged Jumo 213A. There were other versions of the Dora such as the D-11 that used a three-speed supercharged Junkers Jumo 213F. The D-12 was similar to the D-11 mechanically but used a much lighter armament selection. The D-13 used the Jumo 213E which was basically a 213F with an intercooler (many German aircraft engines lacked an intercooler at the time so this was considered an innovation). The 213E was also, notably, used on the Ta 152H.

Beautifully depicted! Great job

Just the art makes me immediately click this, great video once again!

15:00 why do the clouds have legs

A lot of interesting planes were produced during late war, like the Me-163 rocket plane or the Ta-152, a redesign of the Fw-190D optimized for high altitude flight. Also, there were a lot of interesting prototypes, like the Ho-229.

Hi, nice video. Just one small hint. You forgot one very important fighter, that was used very long by the German Luftwaffe between the 1970s and 2000s. It is the McDonell Douglas F4 Phantom II. They served as kind of main interceptors in the alarm squads like the Jagdgeschwader 74 (JG-74), before the Typhoon Eurofighter was established 2006. They were used as fighter bombers in some wings til 2013.

Hermosísimo vídeo! Muy bellos los aparatos alemanes.

As a war thunder player, i am astonished

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

Just a quick comment on the F-104, as well. The plane was designed to be a fighter interceptor. The Luftwaffe wanted to use it as a multirole plane, and almost all crashes were the result of training for low-altitude attack runs. You see, the plane was not designed for ground attack and as a result, was not very good at it. Additionally, it had an ejection system that fired downwards. At high altitudes, where fighter-interceptors dominate the skies, this isn't a problem. In an anti-armour and CAS role often operating below 5000ft, it is a bit of an issue. In short, this was not a fault with the plane, but a fault with its operator.

Lil Griffs' text could certainly be a bit bigger. I can still read it fine but I'd bet a lot of history viewers are old enough for it to be a problem on anything but a big TV. Great vid I love the evolution of videos

The Germans really loved the color yellow on their planes.

I think its because their way for identification

I really love the animations and I have a request, can you make a history of JSDF?

I actually have the log book and a map of Europe from a pilot of the Junkers JU-52 which was the grandpa of a friend of mine. He was shot down somewhere over the Soviet Union but was never found. There are some interesting lines like „Flak-Beschuss, Loch in rechter Tragfläche" which translates to: „Flak fire, hole in right main wing“. I also live near the old Fliegerhorst/airbase of Brandis where the Messerschmitt ME-163 Komet was stationed near the end of the war (the Americans went there and took 'em all).

Damn i feel i wanna play this 4:04

Please do more evolutions of, there so good. May I recommend some tank destroyers maybe

Apparently, an Italian had already found a way to shoot throught the propeller according to old docs. Also, Roland Garros thought about it but just reinforced his propeller with metal plates on the blades. He once was captured after a forced landing in enemy territory and his plane gave the idea of synchronized shooting throught the propeller after examination

amazing visuals and great video
