Training films meant EVERYBODY got the same level of training. It does suck that we've somehow gone BACKWARDS in education technology though. We should be moving on to video games and simulation now, instead students are still paying out the ass for rip off text books, and 150 person lectures to hear the same dude repeat the same information year after year, and rote memorize and regurgitate on tests year after year after year, even though cameras and audio technology have been around over a century, for god's sakes, record the guy once and be done with it. ...

One has to admire the mettle of Aviators whom flew regularly into enemy occupied territory in the full knowledge that fighters and flak batteries awaited them! To have seen that fellow crews hadn't returned after the mission and that they hadn't been reported to have landed at other airfields must have been hugely unsettling. Their stoic bravery is genuinely something to admire, that irrespective of any personal feelings, they continued to fly their missions. Thank you for posting this thought provoking film.

True but even following this … it’s hard not to think that it’s almost impossible to dodge flak . No wonder allied bombers paid such a heavy price during the war over Europe. Courageous as hell the lot of them.

My Father flew a Martin B-26 Marauder over 150 times over Nazi Germany between May 1942 and May 1945. The Marauder was an incredibly tough, fast an deadly fighter/bomber. The first of its kind. He was a raid leader dozens of times with hundreds of planes behind him. They relied on his skills evading flak. Most of his missions we're well under 20,000 ft and lots of missions around 10,000 feet. German 88 Flak Batteries at this altitude we're incredibly dangerous and unforgiving as their velocity and power we're optimized at these altitudes. The Marauder had two Pratt and Whitney 2,800 HP and could fly very fast with even 2,000 pounds of bombs. It could fly even faster without bombs. It also had 12 -50 Caliber machine guns. It had the best records for bombing accuracy and flak and fighter defenses. German fighter pilots gave the Marauder crews total respect coming and going to their targets, they frequently only had a few chances at bringing them down due to the unloaded speed and and 12 -50's barking back at them in their well arranged cross fire sorties. It was not a strategic bomber, it was tactical medium altitude war bird that directly supported ground offenses and defenses especially railroad supply lines and enemy depots of ammunition, fuel and troop concentrations. Fathers skills evading flak we're of the highest skill and he described this to me exactly as this film does. He survived the war but said the last Mission over Nazi Germany was exactly the same a same as the first. Between the 88 flak batteries and Messerschmitts and Focke Wulfs and ME 262 jet fighters the German flak & fighters we're as good as could be deadly and unforgiving. After the war stationed in Europe he had a chance to talk to many German fighter and flak battery soldiers and pilots. They had a deep respect for each others skills and shared something in common namely many thousands of useless deaths of fine young men fighting for their Countries and families right or wrong without guile or prejudice but simply to survive the insanity of all out war. I always relate my Fathers WW2 experiences as best I can. And, relate them to the videos that share his experiences as I understand, to honor him and all the soldiers who died in WW2.

What he doesn't mention is the fact those explosions weren't mere puffs of smoke that were harmless unless they hit you but, in the case of larger calibre shells, were filled with dozens of steel balls which flew out hundreds of feet to damage engines and kill or injure the aircrew.

I always wondered how the gunners aimed with that much precision. I never tought that radar and electronic gun control were so advanced at that time.

My father, a B24 Tailgunner, was awarded a Purple Heart after being wounded by Flak!

And my father was wounded by a Flak on the ground! He was working as a Polish forced laborer in a German ammunition factory near Leipzig. Some day in the spring of 1945 he enjoyed the sight of American bombers (actually they were silvery dots high in the sky, leaving condensation trails) destroying nearby industrial installations. He stood there with his hand resting on a tree. Suddenly a splinter of a flak projectile embedded itself into the trunk of the tree right next to his hand and injured at the same time seriously his index finger. He had a slighly bent index finger with a sizable scar as a souvenir of this incident.

My father flew 29 combat missions as the lead pilot in B24s out of Seely Airfield in East Anglia with the 448th bomb group. He said the flak was worse than fighters. You could fight back against fighters but had to endure the flak. He said you could walk on the flak over Berlin.

Good to know that the actual recommendation for dealing with a flak barrage was to just keep flying straight

@joostdriesens3984

4 жыл бұрын

Getting the tactics right was a real challenge. In hindsight the flying straight sounds stupid, but it does mean less time over target, more accurate bombing and better formation which helps with defense agains enemy fighters. If flying straight and fast means you don't have to do it again over the same target next week, there is some advantage to it.

Its like being in an open field at night, with machineguns firing randomly. Alternating between head height, nut shots and ankle biters, you can zig-zag all you want to try and dodge the bullets, but get the hell out of dodge works best. Since the enemy can not see you, nor does he care about your moves, and since you can not predict where he is aiming for next, best is just to get out of the area ASAP!

It's also important to note that if you've flown straight enough to be caught in a barage, you've already made a mistake. Best to push through and complete the mission. Just get it over with so you can focus of the return flight.

I used this in a war game and it worked.

As a motion designer this blew me away. Holy shit the motion graphics ! 1944 !! Respect to the creatives of those times and the arimen they sought to teach.

My grandfather did during WW II on a constant basis transmit all flak locations along his strip of Belgian and French coast. There were gaps in the flak lines called ‘couloirs’ , the Germans constantly changed their positions, he transmitted those to England. At a certain moment they tried to liquidate him and made an attempt on his life because they had suspicions. He was neutralized for 3 months but continued. He was a civil engineer and due to that he was needed at the coast and had passes in all Sperr zones. After the war he got personal thanks from Montgomery.

Man haven’t watched this in almost a year but I stumbled upon this again so let’s rewatch because why not!

Me: cant remember much from wyat i learned 6 years ago in high school chem. Also me, after finding this gem for a second time after many many years: Ah yes, i still remember: never hold your course for more than 10 seconds of every 10s of thousands of feet, course variations of at least 20degrees and 500 feet elevation for heavy flak. Fly straight through barrage, and for small flak inscrease the speed, get low to the ground and make as many changes as possible.

The art-style of this presentation is absolutely fantastic!

this is so in-depth. now imagine being a bombardier - you have to setup your payload to account for things like heading/altitude/wind speed and direction at intervals of every 30 seconds as you are constantly changing course due to potential flak. no wonder they were so in-accurate

These old military tactics and mechanics videos are so fascinating and informative.

I'm actually super impressed by the quality of this training film. I mean, considering the time the animations are really good. Heck, they are even better than some modern stuff I've seen. But you see the difference between Army and Air Force. Army training film: "The MG42's bark is worse than its bite, just follow your Sergeant."

Every now and then there is major damage from American and British bombs, like this one in Munich that was found 2012 kzread.info/dash/bejne/gIaXxbqqdJixo7w.html , but could not be defused. It's estimated that in Munich alone there are probably still 500 bombs of WW2 n the ground. Defusing them becomes harder every year because of corrosion. A little less than one bomb per year explodes while attempting to defuse them in Germany, very often killing those trying. Excavators hit bombs every now and then, too.

The whole era around end of WWII to the 1970 was extremely brilliant in terms of clarity of thought, integrity in explanation (none of that ego centric mumbo jumbo getting in the way) , engineering had no computers so they knew how to make an idea as clear as possible so that more complex system of thoughts could be created without a computer. Computers basically just rot this whole system and now smartphone also ruined the relation between people (ironically they were supposed to do the exact opposite, but let's not keep on that lie, the only real reason for the existence of smartphone was to make something since they could, they had no clue what it could be used for but just sell as many as possible, they'll figure out how to program it later. Stupid Jobs made it a fashion statement and that's how it took off when it was in fact a completely worthless product and still is, is erased a whole generation from having a normal outdoor life).

Don't forget that the skin of the bombers were basically unarmored; it didn't take a direct hit from a shell to kill you inside, if it went off close enough it would spray shrapnel through the cabin. The B-17, in particular, was very rugged against flak and would often return to base and land after a successful mission with one dead engine & looking like a cheese grater from all the flak holes and with multiple dead & wounded crew inside. The "flak jacket" body armor that was so common in the post-war Army was first issued to bomber cabin crews to protect them from the sleet of shrapnel perforating the cabin from nearby flak detonations; it was useless against the 13 or 20mm rounds typically fired by German fighters, though.

Génial ! 🤩 Magnifiques prises de vues. Merci ! Thanks 🙏for sharing this awesome footage with us. 😃
