The 10 Worst German Aircraft
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Ever since the Lilienthal brothers bird-like gliders of the 19th Century, Germany has been batshit crazy about flying machines. Rocket fighters, suicide pulse-jets and airships over three times longer than a 747; seemingly nothing was too crazy for the Germany aviation industry to try in the 20th century. Here is a kladderadatsch of unheimlich German aircraft that will make you spit out your Spätzle with profound schadenfreude.

I find the voice quality adequate and love the idea to have a German native speaker do it. But the volume of the music is way too high. This has stopped me from watching the last video and I'll have to pass on this one too, sadly

Disregard the negative comments , yes a mic upgrade would tighten up the final product , however, great execution using the equipment available to you .
29:23 Sorry guys, yes I know it’s the biggest airship in the world but management says we don’t have any room for parachutes 33:22 The silent footage at the end is highly interesting to watch
Honestly, I would not have put the ME323 on the list. I realise that I may be biased, as I have a bit of a soft spot for this big airborne chungus, but I'd argue that the Gigant's shortcomings were due more to strategic blunders and the inability of the luftwaffe to maintain air dominance than to any fault of the aircraft. In the modern day, the equivalent of the ill-fated Afrika Korps supply mission-- sending a group of poorly escorted C5 Galaxies over enemy-held terrain bristling with SAM batteries and interceptor bases-- would result in the same kind of massacre, but no-one really considers the C5 a "bad" heavylift transport aircraft.
Great aircraft but I am surprised you left out the Bachem Ba 349 Natter. Unless that was number 11. I would have put that ahead of even the ME.110 since its later variants kind of made up for it. The Natter may have had the first man to go supersonic in its failed test piloted flight. Of course it's ended is rather graphic.

I have read that the Komet was an excellent glider. Would be neat to see a full scale one built to fly at airshows though only as a glider.
First time viewer here, my instant thought is: Your audio quality would be much much better if you used a pop filter to to ease those plosives. Anyways, back to the video!
The Me321/323 was a revolutionary aircraft-the blueprint for all modern tactical/assault transport planes. It was just as survivable in combat as a C-5 is today without air superiority. Anyways, great video, as I get to work on my German a bit.

THE blueprint? The Hamilcar glider designed at the same time leads to the GAL60 "Universal Freighter" which becomes the Blackburn Beverley.

No, the BF110 was not the best twin engined plane in the world in WW2. Many allied twin engined was better than the 110. The British Mosquito was much better. Same with the P38 Lightning.

Agreed. I didn’t come here for an Encyclopedia Poindexter. Come on, I want to hear those Ice cubes clinking.
Excellent content but, unfortunately, the audio is awful. Apart from upgrading your mic, use a pop-guard & compress the narration track to even out the differences in levels. Finally, side-chain the music to the compressor so it dips in & out between the narration & won't drown it out. Hope this helps.
10:00 greatly superior aircraft... comparison of apples with melons, two times. And at least mentioning that the gdr was stripped of their engineers and scientists for the whole picture.
A Christmas miracle!

10 wurst German aircraft? Good to have a new HK video!
Was the 210 supposed to be the answer to the British Mosquito? As for the BF 110 Your kidding, right? And if I'm not mistaken, the Spitfire was better then the BF 109?
I absolutely love your videos, but am begging you to invest in pop filters for your voiceover recording (sounds like a pop filter was introduced off and on about halfway through the video, yay!). ;_; Please keep up the good work, though!

Me 210 was meant to replace the Bf 110 and at one point the Fw 190 was meant to replace the Bf 109. Me 210/Fw 190 both had problems in design or in capability and both ended up serving with the fighters that they were meant to replace. Of course they are going to be compared with each other!

I do appreciate the effort you made on the research and script writing for this video. However, as an engineer, i have to strongly disagree on your statement, that the Dornier Do 31 is one of the worst german aircraft ever build. The fact to the matter was, that the Bundeswehr ordered an aircraft with this sort of capability. It was known from the get go, that it would be a specialised and very expensive aircraft, wich could do everything a helicopter could do, but faster. It was the Osprey of its time and the only thing that ultimately stopped it from production, was politics. The Bundeswehr changed their requirments because the political climate allowed them to and therefor such a specialized aircraft wasn't needed anymore. Technologically, this aircraft really stretched the bounds of would was possible at that time, mechanically, as well as electronically. It really does not deserve to be on that list and frankly, anybody that thinks otherwise probably does not know enough about the matter. If anything, it was political misjudgment, wich ultimately was the reason for the requirments that the Bundeswehr put out.

Nice to hear from you. As we've mentioned in the past, reality doesn't really confirm to best and worst formats, it's just a nice approachable format to talk about interesting aircraft. I can think of positive and negative angles to take on the Do 31. Just good to talk about interesting aircraft like the Do 31. The other aspect is we wanted a nice mix of types in terms of roles and periods.
