On most of these videos about WWII there is loads of conflict about who did what and "WHAT-IF". Yes the Germans had great technology (a lot still in use today by all countries), but lets face it what happened can't be changed and just thank fuck Hitler never won, no disrespect to Germany.

Thank you! I fully agree! And i´m german.

fuck off allied iddiots....we did real well considering we were fighting 3 supper powers. and also what would u have done without all our tech????!!!! imbicils! also, your real proud about d-day......never knew so much emphasis was put on fighting "hitlers armies in normandy" ACTUALLY IT WAS ONLY THE 12TH SS, THAT WAS SENT THERE FOR VACATION AND LOSS RECOVERY BECAUSE THEY JUST PARTICIPATED IN MANY BATTLES ON THE EASTERN FRONT!

rocket-assisted takeoff at 4:19? Nice rare vid. Thx!

this was designed to be a bomber but ended up being a recon fighter. to the guy below a few your grandfather used a ju-88 to bomb not an ar234

All Amercian/Sowjet Aircraft have no chance to destroy this jet bomber. B-17 = Maximum speed: 287 mph Arado Ar 234 = Maximum speed: 461 mph But Germans have no more fuel on 1945

Your wrong That statement should be the other way around!

My Grandfather flew and test piolted these jets. He recieved his 2nd Iron cross for bombing Stalingrad in WW2 aswell. You can read more about him here aviationartstore. com/Wilhelm%20Ludwig%20Krissemann.htm

I'm assuming the color video shots were from the Smithsonian. That was his AR-234.

My Stepfather flew this type a few times (not in combat) He dropped the first flares on Bari harbour raid in Ju88 (Falka 2)....KG76 Bless you Grandfather friend. and all "Proud Eagles"
