Before the war was over, they produced a series of technological firsts that were the basis for many modern day air and spacecraft. This doc reveals the circumstances scientists faced under Hitler, and tracks amazing technological innovations. It highlights major scientific disciplines and the inventions of Wernher von Braun or Werner Heisenberg, among others

This takes me back to when the History Channel actually showed history vs the trash they show now. Thank you for this ❤️💪🏿
-
The main reason none of these superweapons were developed was the fact Germany was being bombed day and night and his army was stretched so thin all he could do was reinforce his Wermacht.
-
This was truly interesting to think they came up with so many genius ideas all the way back then it’s insane
-
That X Ray gun was basically a nuclear blast turned into a laser beam form. That could've been a truly nightmarish weapon had it gone into mass production. But it seems they realized it would've damaged everything nearby far too much. Germany from 1934 to April 1945 kept inventing and researching. Had the scientists had more funding and materials and a better workforce instead of slaves, even if they had lost as they did in history, with such innovations, we might've had colonies on the Moon and Mars by now. War has a tendency to create leaps of technology that can never be matched in peacetime.

Had a close friend who served in the infantry U.S. Army Who told me that the V-1 buzz bomb did not scare him, but when he saw the Me 262 jet fighter it bothered him greatly.
-
Really Germany was the real superpower in science and technology in that era.
-
bruh that is the coolest most incredible intro i ve seen to any documentary
-
Just imagine how far Germany would have advanced in science had they won the war
-
I knew the narrator’s voice as soon as I heard it. I believe he has passed, he did crime stories as well a show called Forensic Files for one. Awesome narrator.
-
Getting to moon also took some Canadian scientist also. When the Government shut down the Arrow aircraft, all the folks who worked on that went to NASA in the late 50s
-
Fascinating historical content about WWII and the technology that helped shape it!
-
When Von Braun published his book "I Aim for the Moon", reviewers often parenthesized this with "(But Sometimes I Hit London)".
-
That plan/helicopter with a propeller rotating around its body is amazing! A would have loved to see one of those.
-
I think that the biggest problem was that their approach to the science was in effect a scattergun effect. Instead of concentrating on one or two war winning weapons, they tried to produce as many different kinds as possible.
-
The V-2 rockets were in production in 1943. But on August 17/18, the RAF launched Operation Hydra, which was a major success. The raid stalled V-2 production, which bought the Allies time during preparations for D-Day.

Anything this guy narrates is a quality product
-
I was aware of SOME of these things me 262,,me 163 , V1 ,V2 the Horton 229 and a long range cannon but the ray beam gun Is fascinating!!
-
I love this narrator. He is the best I think
-
I think this guy has a perfect voice for this music in this video I don't know if it me just listening to it or is it really that good
-
I love this certain melody played in the background at 31:26 (and several previous moments that I can't find it). I wish I could've known what the piece is called and who composed it.
