The Nazi super plane that nearly won the war

Interesting Fact: The British assumed that the Germans stole their idea of the turbojet engine. After the war, the designer of the Me 262 and his British counterpart met each other to compare notes and concluded that the designs of the jet engines were very different from each other.

Too little and too late , can you imagine if Me-262 is operational by 1941

Imagine being one of the first ppl to pilot those jet fighters, honestly it mustve felt incredibly badass 😂

Nearly won the war? There was no way in hell the M.E 262 could have won the war in the small numbers it was produced. No chance in hell.

Seeing one in the Smithsonian in 1992 was awesome. However, IMHO, “ Hitler ruined in” is a fable. This jet required tons of maintenance and rare materials, and premium fuel, which means it was unlikely to ever reach greater numbers than it did. But having said that, well done video.

I was lucky to shake hands with a man named Huey lamp who shot down a ME 262 in P-47. He said he saw the me 262 below him and used his superior energy of high altitude and the sheer weight of his p-47 to catch up and shoot it down. Crazy what people went through.

Great vid. The animations are great, noticed this time you even had some Red Tails footage. Me163 and He162 next? Perhaps the Ar234 jet bomber which had radar equipped night fighter version can be featured too at some point?

Those engines had a 20 hour life before replacement lol. Still beautiful and innovative

The first 1st Gen fighter jet. To this day I just love how it looks like a flying shark. I imagine that later proposals like that Hohegeschwindigkeit models would have been able to compete with Korean War era MiG-15s and F-86s. The most important aspect however is that we should return to tradition and put 4 30mm gun in our fighter jets. FCAS with quad 30mm sounds like a very versatile platform xD

The fate of German airspace was not up to the ME 262 just as the fate of the defense of Germany was not up to the Panzer VIII Maus.

Great video! If you are doing videos in more well-known aircraft, I recommend the Yakovlev Yak-28.

Just amazing work, keep improving your content Mr. Found and Explained! ⚜️⚡️

Thank you for adding footage from Red Tails. Some people liked it, some people didn't but you can't deny the CGI used in the aerial combat scenes especially against the Me-262.

There were other developments of the ME-262 during the second world war, variants that would make the aircraft look incredibly modern and these variants being the HG series. Perhaps you can make a video of this? No rush.

Great video! The Me262 is one of my favorite WWII designs. It's so beautiful. You might find an essay in the book "If the Allies Had Fallen: Sixty Alternate Scenarios of World War II" interesting. In Chapter 13, "Hitler's Role", historian Gerhard L. Weinberg argues that the fighter wasn't too late; instead, it was too early. Given Germany's wartime situation, it didn't have the money or resources for working on experimental "wonder weapons" that might or might not work. In contrast, the Allies could put huge amounts money and resources into such projects; the atomic bomb being the prime example. Germany didn't have that luxury.

Always great to see a new video 🙂

Great videos. I love all your vids and especially the ones on current and non prototype aircrafts. Also amazing models. Everything is great about your channel. Btw, a quick question about the War thunder sponsor, how long does it last and does it activate right after you download the game?

Could you make videos on the german TA183 and the P1101 as well?They're pretty interesting aircraft.

AMAZING WORK, BROMAN. GOOD DAMN WORK.

nearly won hardly anything
