there is a much better video of the me262 jet fighter than this, its an official German ww2 Luftwaffe pilot training film made for training new jet pilots with combat veteran aces or as the Germans would say experten training them, much better quarterly than this and up close views of controls in the cockpit on how to fly and control both engines, its on UTUBE and free, have a look , you wont regret it

German engineering at its best not Nazi engineering, The West did not know what hit them so they copied it

Wonderful footage. Thanks for making it available.

Nowotny wasn't an ace in the 262. He scored his over 200 kills in 109s and Fw 190s with JG 54 ofter the baltic/Leningrad area. I think he claimed 3 victories with the 262 before his death. Also, Nowotny had a superstition. As he was shot down in his first air combat over the baltic sea in 1941 and escaped by parachute and dingy before being picked up, he insisted on wearing the trousers he had worn during this for every single mission afterwards. I suppose he's wearing the "Abschusshosen" in the footage here. For some reason he was not wearing them on the fatal day. Btw Nowotny's appointment to lead the combat trial unit for the Me 262 was seen as a bad decision by many. While being a highly successful fighter pilot on the east front, he had neither experience of two engine aircraft nor of the high altitude air combat against US bombers and had no special expertise as a test pilot or technical officer.

BS. He shot down one B17 that day before he died.

It seems obvious that, for the most part, at this stage of the war these newsreels focused primarily on non-combat related topics and sought to keep the narration and imagery lighthearted. It must have been increasingly difficult for the creators of these newsreels to accomplish this feat.

Europa Woche was not shown in Germany, but was mainly used for Wehrmacht screenings in occupied countries. So these soldiers deployed on the front probably liked being shown non combat footage. Hence also more freedom regarding music choice with a lot of jazz style music used for background

Our own media is doing the same thing to us today. Mostly lies and deceptions, to promote the hidden agenda of the Deep State.

The Australian War Memorial has a complete and original Me 262 gifted from the Brit govt after they had done all their testing of this particular 262. When the Aussies received it, it still had is P in a circle prototype mark added for RAF testing pilots after the war. It is in superb condition. During a refurb some years back, the conservation staff found pine needles in the rear fuselage, suggesting it was assembled in German forests to avoid being destroyed by allied bombers.

@@M1945 On the contrary. It's always a pleasure to see the videos you post.

In 1969 I worked with Nowotny's niece in London. Helga had been offered a job with PanAm as a stewardess and had to go to the American Embassy for her green card interview. This was just after the 1968 Prague Spring and Czechoslovakia was ruled by a hard line communist called Antonín Novotný (who during WW2 had fought with Czech partisans against the Nazis). Was he, by any chance, a relative? Yes, Antonín Novotný WAS a distant relation - despite the difference in spelling both versions seem to be used - but another relative, her uncle Walter, had been a Luftwaffe ace . . . she got her green card!

Wonderful footage not easily found anywhere else that covers this topic..... !!!!

For mine, the Me262 is probably the most stunningly beautiful jet powered aircraft ever built. It seems to me that a pilot had to become one with the machine (as many have inferred re the Spitfire. Except the gut feeling I have,and may of course be stupidly wrong, is that it happened intuitively with the spit!). Particularly understanding the weaknesses and strengths of the power plants and flying accordingly to maximise the life of these relatively fragile engines. As well as understanding the plusses of this machine and maximising it's effectiveness. I'm in no way a supporter of Nazism, but it is sad that after all the combat he faced, Nowotny died before the end of that stupid wasteful war. So many millions of people dying for no gain or any positive effects whatsoever. War is crap, only good for maximising profits of armament manufacturers. And still going on now! When will us stupid primates get real and move forward positively on a whole world basis? The gains would be literally astronomical.

Thank you for your work presenting history.

With those mountains in the background with the first images this looks like the Me 262s based at the Airfield outside Innsbruck in 1945. From memory Galland was the staffel or geshwader leader.

​@@minhthunguyendang9900that's 100% false. In the first place, unlike the WW2 Western allies, Soviet tanks ran on Diesel. Secondly their V12 tank engine was cast in aluminium, a fact the Germans found impossible to replicate in production. A fun fact: the leader of the design team, Konstantin Chelpan, was arrested in 1938.

He happened to be the homonym of the Czech secretary general of the Czechoslovakian red party in the 60s.

Best looking jet fighter ever. Even tho its abandoned & weathered, it still looks ready to go & woosh. When the B29s crew first saw it fly past their jaws would have dropped before they parachuted.

After leaving the Eastern Front and finally encountering his first non-Soviet pilots, within 5 minutes Nowotny was blown out of the sky by P-51 Mustangs despite flying a technically superior aircraft : )

His plane had a technical problem taking off earlier in the day. Due to other issues, he took off and engaged alone, while generals were visiting his squadron to pressure them to attack more, despite the newness and teething problems with the jets. On top of that, it sounds like 50-50 that plane went down with engine failure after killing at least one U.S. plane. Nice narrative, though.

History was written by the Victor's

Nowotny's death - read this in the book The Big Show by WW2 RAF Pilot Pierre Clostermann - Nowotny was shot down whilst attempting to land. Most Brit pilots never went near a fighter base cos the excellently trained ground based flak abteillung (battalion) were capable of throwing up 250 projectiles every second. 20mm and 37mm. This Brit pilot flew through this hail of flak, shot down Nowotny, and lived to tell about it! Clostermann's book is well worth reading, he even describes seeing a Do 335 Pfiel flying in his AO.
