May I say, many Thank's.. as most have forgotten or did't know, wishing You, for Future .. Simply the *Best, So Long..

Flying first class in the 1960s? Your family was wealthy ;) Do you remember Reitsch? On German TV she was this kind of ugly old Nazi person who always tried to revise history, telling people that a lot of good things had happened.

It doesn't sound odd to me about The Party members living in a Socialist country. Many Nazis were socialists in fact. Some of them were: brothers Gregor and Otto Strasser and so was Joseph Goebbels. And you won't believe that Otto Skorzeny even worked on a project for Mossad.

The nazis were socialist so its not that surprising

What an interesting childhood!

I'm sure you had some awkward neigbourhood parties.

I mean…”normal-ish”. There is a limit to how normal your life can be with most cities being bombarded into rubble (before surrender) and most cities having been bombed into rubble (post surrender)

She was the uber nazi. She even wanted to try to get Hitler out of Berlin.

Japan in August of 45 was not quite in the same dire straights as Nazi Germany's last month. Japan if it wanted to they could have continued the war effort for months or even years. The US didn't have any more nukes and it was basically a bluff that we could nuke them into oblivion. The fanaticism the Japanese were prepared to unleash to defend their homeland would have been unparalleled in history. Remember there were cutoff Japanese soldiers who continued fighting the war 30 years after the surrender. A D-day style invasion of Japan might have even failed if it was attempted. Gen MacArthur estimated that it would cost 1 million American lives just to take Tokyo and kill 10 million Japanese. This is based on the resistance and casualties of subduing the small Japanese garrison at Okinawa and scaled up. Taking over the whole of Japan would have impossible. We simply didn't have enough troops and neither did the soviets.

hi ,what is the name of that series ? thanks !

@@Novusod The US had a third atomic bomb that was of the same design as the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, with components in transit in mid-August, for assembly after August 20 or 21. Otherwise, the United States had in place the infrastructure to build up an atomic arsenal. General Marshall even had inquired about the possibility of using multiple atomic bombs in support of landings around Kagoshima, in southern Kyushu. The Japanese garrison on Okinawa was not small - talking about 76,000 trained regular troops (out of a roster of 100,000 troops from the 32nd Army) augmented by about 39,000 Okinawans, of which 24,000 formed a home guard. As for soldiers continuing fighting after the war, that gets played up way to much (like great, have some whacko go kill a couple of Philippines citizens).

Perfect avatar to go with your handle! 👍

Thx for your post.

He also invented the famous 'Cotton Socks.'

would have been a better headline for the video

He does indeed do a fantastic job, it's just a shame that he doesn't put his usual professionalism into his UKposts videos. It was a shame about the comments he made about the Panzer Museum.

@@badonk7618 what comments? He’s an academic expert in this field so I presume he meant well

The Operations Room is pretty good but doesn't focus much on the biographies of the participants 👩‍💼🇺🇲⚒️🇷🇺

@@je6874 He claimed the Panzer Museum sold off an original Tiger tank and replaced it with a 1:1 plastic replica. They deemed it insulting enough to release a reply. This coupled with a few examples of plagiarism have lead me to watch his videos as a form of entertainment as opposed to a solid source of historical fact.

@@je6874 I would take the videos with a grain of salt honestly he’s been caught plagiarising and getting things wrong a few times

Yes, or another waste of resources

@@Jakob_DK Everything was a waste at that point.

@@benbaselet2026 Everything was a waste since the first troops penetrating the Russian border

The shocking thing is that it was the best they could muster..

One would think that the German leadership would have seen the writing on the wall and taken action earlier. Well, at least there was no rumour of a stab in the back!

Funny that you said that, my son is autistic and one of his unusual capabilities is an amazing skill at identifying music in a minimum number of notes.

There are a number of interviews online or at least there were. She was always super hyped and said something about after the war being boring. I can imagine normal life being boring after you were in a action war movie but real.

I remember that broadcast 👉😷👈

Really? That’s amazing. Ah boy Gaybo

@@Balthorium UKposts probably got rid of them all. The crazy super left liberals are weird about history because it's like they want it to be forgotten. It can't be forgotten because everyone knows then it can happen again.

@@jbsully2864 The first victims of the Nazis were the super left, socialists, communists, and Jews, rounded up and sent to Dachau.

This should really be recorded for history, I found the post war Berlin a fascinating place, I have studied and written about WW2 history.

And hitler was my dad

You Are Lucky to have such an interesting family history.

And I am Montezuma.

you should be ashamed...

It seems they used up much of the remaining air force simply to have Hitler appoint him in person rather than on the 'phone.

I was very pleased to see this too aviation is my thing !

Thx for your post.

So glad you took the time to do your extrodinary in depth factual work all about World War 2 true factual events. All justifiably to be commended for. Thanks so.much for sharing it all with all of us. Great work!

This 31st december my brother had opened a champagne bottle and i saw the cork being shooted up into the air, then my brother explained me it’s the principle used in sea launched ICBM missiles and in the rpg-7. I ask to myself how it would had turned the fight in berlin if the panzerfaust would had been fully reloadable as the rpg-7?, R.

@@gratefulguy4130 i ask that to myself because it wasn’t so difficult to develop it, see it needed no guidance, no any electrónic devices to work, and it were used wooden made fins. So here the question is the imagination. No all is knowledge or calculations. That well you needed Maths but not so complicate as developing a curiae missile or something like that. It’s only a rocket launcher, so imagine it would had been throw with pressure as a cork: it means much more range and also if you manufacture it as reloadable?, I imagine a very apocalyptic fight inside Berlin, because a palestine guerrilla man told that he aimed his rpg-7 to the back of a merkava and it blew in pieces. And rpg is direct descendant of panzerfaust. So imagine the last days of the war for the allies in western Germany and for the soviets during his final drive towards Berlin and once again inside the reich’s capital?

The story about the Luftwaffe NCO flying the Reitsch-von-Greim couple on the last plane out of Berlin was mentioned first in a 1963 book by author Henri Ludwig "The Assassination of Hitler". The title refers to the suspicion that Hitler didn't kill himself with a gun, but that Goebbels did it for him. Georges Blond in his 1952 ''The Death Of Hitler's Germany'' correctly identified the plane von Greim & Reitsch took into Berlin as a 2-seater FW-190 for advanced training. When I 1st read the book in 1967 I couldn't believe it since the plane was a fighter !

Hope you recover soon.

@@MarkFeltonProductions Thanks Dr. Felton. Be safe out there

There is a story in my hometown that a Stork was landed on the roof of one of the hangars by an angry pilot. I want it to be true and have never bothered to actually confirm it...

Look up Kermit Weeks videos on UKposts to see him prep and fly his Storch. An amazing aircraft indeed.

They had or have as there are some that survive a rather curious engine an inverted or up side down V8.

@@johnwright291 easier maintenance in an airplane

@@alohathaxted Actually Fantasy of Flight is where I saw the demonstration with Weeks at the controls! He has an amazing collection.

An incredibly good idea. That really seems to be the cream of Dr Felton's crop. The last days of the Reich

What a great idea ! I'd buy a collectors edition DVD of all of them linked together.

I thought he was dead?

Hannah could have landed and taken off in New Yprk no problem.

There was an article about this episode in the 1966 issue of American tabloid For Men Only (Men ? Men's World ?) The b/w illustration in typical American popular fashion shows a top-model-like Hanna with at least 5 buttons popped out of her Luftwaffe vest, in command of the Storch looking down on crazily shooting up soviet soldiers, with General von Greim slumbered beside her.

What he doesn't say anything about ancient aliens winning the war or the Germans buring gold on an island in Canada, restoring old cars or buying junk and reselling it. He could never work on the History Channel.

@@rrider3946 True, but this content here is what the History channel should be. It used to teach history, but now it's a joke. An I believe the government is in some way behind it. They want to dumb down the population because they need absolute blind obedience and people not to question. So they fill everyone's heads full of stupid unimportant useless stuff. Corrupt governments don't want a thinking populace because a thinking populace might start questioning things and not blindly obey whatever BS narrative they are trying to shove down our throats with no resistance.

Wish she had flown for us 😏

I'd never deny her skills as an aviator. They're self-evident. But she was indeed a monster.

"Escapes Me Know" is an odd name for a man.

Thanks for sharing your dad‘s story. Movie worth adventure and some great pilot skills! I was in Arizona in the 80‘s with a small German Army staff office attached to the US Army, we were fully integrated. Americans made us feel like brothers. I’m still grateful, great times. I read Hannah Reitsch‘s book „Fliegen mein Leben“ (Flying - my life). She writes in a sympathetic and humble and at the same time really interesting way about her becoming a pilot against many odds as a woman, and tells also about her astonishing daredevil flying adventures which she survived with luck, talent and a seventh sense for the forces in the sky. She writes not much about politics but it becomes evident she was a fervent patriot and believed all party propaganda about the reasons for the war, and that the Germans were mostly good and noble. As a reader you get the feeling she just was a patriot, and deceived, like many. Still she never was a party member. One of the strangest stories is her meeting with Himmler. She had heard that the allies were spreading „rumours“ about concentration camps, death camps. She was outraged, didn’t want to believe it. So she decided to confront Himmler himself with these rumours, since she was scheduled to meet him anyway as part of her planning for the Leonidas suicide fighters project. Himmler was quiet for a minute, then denied it in a convincing way. So she felt relieved… After the war she had to learn the truth. But she was more preoccupied with the suicide of both von Greim and her parents who feared to be delivered to the Russians. I think her public image is not fair.

"Shame about her politics". It's only "acceptable" in Germanistan these days to be a brainwashed, politically correct, commie-greenie Germanistani. Preferably a "transgender" one.

Her politics could be way worse she could be a democrat and a biden obama Clinton regime supporter

Read the vidro description, it says he appears regularly on channels like The History Channel

These safisfy my desire for knowledge way better than history channel ever could

You don't have to stop watching The History Channel... I mean what's wrong with Ice Road Truckers and Swamp People?

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us 👍

If you can remember, could you explain what some of the unconventional experimental aircraft looked like? That's awesome

What happened to the photos?

@@HunterShows We believe that the photographer's relative has the album, which incredibly also included blank pages of AH's personal stationary. Because of this, we know he got there at a time where there were still souvenirs available. Another photo included the area where AH was cremated. We are trying to locate the relative so that the photos can be made public. The album is truly of great historical importance.

@@rickyleeincali5375 Thanks for the details.

The Last Hussar and the Grand Old Man of the German army. I concur.

She would have to be literally 100 years old. And then still unlikely.

@@southerncharity7928 Why would she have to be 'literally 100 years old'? This was in the 50s when Hanna Reitsch was flying gliders in Austria.

@@southerncharity7928 if they were flying gliders with Reitsch in Austria it would have been in the 50s around the time Reitsch became an Austrian citizen Very possible the woman the OP mentioned (if she was a young woman in the mid to late 50s) would be early 80s not literally 100 years old Wether or not it's true or a load of BS is another thing

I spoke to my friend about this yesterday and it turns out I was mistaken. She flew with Hanna Reitsch in the 1970s. She told me that Hanna, in the mid 60s, was a member of the German national glider team that headed to Poland for a world championship glider contest. At the border, the Polish accepted all team members except Hanna. She became angry at the German team and German officials for not supporting her and never flew in Germany again.

😀😀😀👍

She, nevertheless, worked for the Nazi regime and was a devout admirer of Adolf Hitler. Not ANY KIND of a hero.

that was a great series in the 70s and still worth a watch. it is probably on youtube.

She was a hell of a brave and daring little woman, exceptionally qualified to fly any machine that could take up to the skies.

Yes, It was a superb series that was narrated by William Woolard, an ex RAF pilot himself. I don't think it was ever repeated, which was a pity. It contained a lot of incredible archive film of German and Allied weapon development.

It is Galland, not Garland.

@@thenevadadesertrat2713 - You got it wrong...he is not talking about the fighter ace Adolf Galland....he refers to American singer/actress Judy Garland who was interviewed on the BBC.
