Thank you War Thunder for sponsoring this video
War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircraft and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
The notorious German Operation Eisbär is underway. Many dozens of V-1 cruise missiles fall
on the civilian infrastructure of British cities everyday. Just one missile is enough to destroy a
massive building completely.
The Germans call this fearsome weapon Vergeltungswaffe - The Vengeance Weapon. The
Allied pilots call it the diver, doodle-bug or flying Bomb. Several times a day special patrols
scramble to intercept a new pack of flying bombs.
Spitfires could barely match the speed requiring pilots to dive from high altitudes in order to
close in on their targets at distances as short as several hundred yards. This sometimes
resulted in debris from the exploding V1 flying into the Spitfire’s fuselage. To avoid the blast risk,
some pilots figured out that you could override the gyroscopes of the V1s through “wing tipping” technique. This involved flying alongside the V1 and using exceptional flying skills to flick the v1
over. Many have questioned whether this really happened but we used the memoirs of
Australian, Ken Roy Collier who served in 91 squadron RAF in the making of this film.

Can we get that if we already have an account? I've been grinding Soviets like a mother so any boosters would be much appreciated.
Was already playing war thunder when the notification popped up😂❤
No, I don't condone suffering
Don't play Japan
You will regret it
I've gone through the entire British tree, to 9.3 in Germany and to 7.7 in the USSR. It was torture to play Japan
I wonder if all those accounts that are less than one year old (and clearly Russian scammers/bots trying to fund their war) work an many people.
I remember my grandparents telling me stories about these. They said when you heard the engine everyone acted like normal but when the engine cut out EVERYONE hit the floor with their hands on top of their heads and prayed it wouldn't land in their area, and then the relief when they heard the explosion somewhere else.
that gives me chills
My grandpa told me the exact same story, just wait for the boom after the engine goes silent
That is absolutely terrifying.
Before you would be scared by the sound of enemy bombers. Then you became scared when there wasn't a sound.
Yep my mum remembers them and my nan said it was by far the most terrifying bit of the blitz
He got a melee kill, in the air. Impressive.
Oh you should hear about the Wildcat pilot who clubbed a Kate to death with his landing gear
@@admDanRyan Who was he?
@@admDanRyan a fellow Drachinifel follower?
lol
and landed safely! Distinguishing him from others who scored "ramming" air-to-air kills but died in the process.
I read the wartime accounts of a Swordfish navigator once, and he wrote about visiting home during the V bombings. Apparently, while the much larger V2s got the press, the V1s were more terrifying. The V2s were so heavy they’d bury themselves, minimizing the damage from the explosion. The V1s would explode on impact, causing far more death and destruction
from wat i understood the v2 exploded in the air causing a lot of mayham , the people in the street wouldnt know wat would happen untill the where inside the explosion
The Nazi's used slave labour for the VIs production. The Vi only cost the equivalent of £110 pounds each to manufacture
The V2 was a liquid fuelled rocket which was supersonic therefore it hit the ground before the sound of it arrived some seconds later. Therefore there was no warning of its arrival. It was not an air burst weapon. Initially it was thought to be a gas main explosion. There was no defence against it. As a weapon it was very inefficient, the casualty rate was about 1 death per weapon.
Not really true, the V2's caused major damage.
@@user-ou3wo1xk4j 45000 causalties from the v weapons!
That last part where the v2 is ominously revealed is just perfect like a teaser to a sequel for a movie
It’s mind boggling just how brilliant the animation quality is, absolutely superb as always!
Great animation for a great channel
I love how much they have improved from a few years ago
It gets better with every episode!
Agreed. The chad yarnhub Vs the virgin infographics show
Great video but only one nitpick, the V1 was a pulse engine it would sound more like a motor bike engine puttering. When the engine cut out was the dangerous period
That ending is like the intro to a video game mission.
True
It really does now that you point it out
Its like a intro for a boss fight
its like that small scene after the end of marvel movies
the brits be vibing till the v2 appears
Love the amount of details in the animation. At 1:25 you can actually see the recoil feather on the machine cannon moving.
12:01
"While V1 strikes waned, a new, more sinister weapon lay in store"
And once the image came into scene, i immediately said, in a menacing and cinematic way: *_"The V2 Rocket"_*
As someone said, Von Braun wanted to shoot the Moon, but he hit London and Antwerp on the way.
You can really see and feel how much emotion was put in the animation. It really transcends to the viewers. 😻
Just the opening scene with the tea drinking was superb.
Yeah I was getting chills just think about how scary the V1 must have been to people back then. Then even more chills when I saw what I would guess is a V2 rocket!
The animation quality has increased so much, people looking like actual humans, the evolution of animation on this channel is INSANE! Amazing job Yarnhub!
Yeah, also this is the first time a see a full auto aa guns
Yet he only has 6/10ths of a million subscribers which is blasphemy!!! He deserves much respect and recognition for his incredible dedication to his craft. Such an underrated channel!!! Thank you @Yarnhub for paying respect to every story you tell. Cheers from Chicago,Illinois( silent "S"), U.S.
@@Blackhawks87 11 months later, he has 9.1/10ths of a million subscribers.
I read about this is a kid it's nice to see you
Desperate times calls for desperate measures
Honestly what a very creative way to take out a V1 rocket, but also a very goofy one.
The animation is superb as always! And love to see the improvement on the faces and movement of the characters!
You got the sound of the V1 pulsejet completely wrong. It sounded nothing like a regular jet engine. It sounded like a badly-tuned motorbike with a hole in its exhaust.
Sometimes I forget how unbelievably gorgeous those spitfires were
Spitfire kicked my ass last night in War Thunder lol
@@guts-141 what plane were u flyin
Ikr
@@An_idott doesn’t matter I don’t think I’ve ever killed a spitfire in any American plane that’s just me though not the original guy.
@@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194 just try to out speed them as much as possible
I always wondered if this story was true but I was unable to find enough good sources so thanks for making this incredibly well animated and written story
Why? It's well documented. It was a very common tactic, mainly because the V-1s were dangerous to shoot, because of how bigt the warhead was.
@@anzaca1 so first all of the articles I found about it only cited one primary source and it was always the same primary source.
Second I couldn’t find primary sources about this besides the one source I found from the articles.
I heard this story on National Geographic, and they showed a Authentic Photo of a Spitfire actually tipping a V1
I mean, it’s doable, and a pilot would think of doing so.
Unlike most yarns spun by the yanks ours are true
I love that this channel keeps improving its graphical representation of each ww2 ww2 and cold war. It's honestly amazing that a channel that started a few years ago can be this amazing. I hope this channel grows even more than today.
Loved the cliffhanger, and loved seeing the animation improve. Definitely 100/10
I’m just blown away by the attention to detail, they even animated the pulse jet on the missile
Yet Yarnhub forgot to make the air raid siren rotate to make the noise XD They do good but still working on it
@@ww2planes_810 and viewers that are good to attention to details should point it out so Yarnhub would learn
They actually appreciates it
They didn't get pulsejet engine noise right though. The V1 had the nickname "Buzzbomb" for a reason.
@@suntzuthesecond I think the only recorded sound using modern technology is from that pulse jet snow sled that was used for a speed record
@ Spencer Peck Was that a pun? "Blown away"
I got taught about these V1s (Doodlebugs) in school and I actually got to see 1 at the Manston RAF Museum
There not that big, but the explosives inside did a lot of damage. My home county Kent got hit with dozens
Might not seem that big at first glance but the V1 contains an 850kg warhead, that is enormous for just a single device (that you fire once). Average artillery shell would contain 10-20 kg at most, some could contain dozens of kilos but those were very large caliber howitzers. There were a very small number of guns that could fire an 850kg shell (or larger) but they were very impractical and expensive so I wouldn't really count them.
@@sam8404 Most regular bombs carried by planes used around 100-300kg of explosive so 850 is absoultely huge
the V1 was defused right

THE QUALITY JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER EVERY VIDEO
Keep experimenting new ways man, this level of quality is second to none
Oh my, this channel just keeps getting better, your animation quality is a 10/10, I like it very much. This encounter b/w the Spitfire and the V1 was awesome and scary to the pilots, knowing that the destruction of the V1 they saw could mean the difference between someone lives or not. But I didn't knew about the pilot who tipped a V1, thank you for your content:D
I'm simply amazed by the engineering of the V1. Just imagine: seeing a jet is a big deal on its own, then seeing as it has no pilot and still managing to maintain its course.
It's unbelievable.
Especially when it is from a time before advanced computers existed. It flew on its own without any complex computer or navigation systems
It was actually rather simple,but it was an intelligent design for sure.
@@sugarflame1833 "Kettering Bug from WW1 America silently crying in the corner"...
Still not as good as the Fritz X radio-guided bomb, the Bat (radar-guided rocket bomb the Americans invented as a better version of the Fritz X), or various German and American WWII homing torpedoes.
Yes, smart munitions were a thing in WWII, at least for the Germans and Americans (the other powers also had their own projects for such but I don’t think they actually got them into production).
The Germans were allegedly fed false information about where the V-1s were falling. Told it fell North of London so they compensated, put in less fuel and some fell short.
At the end when the captured German smiles and then shows the V-2, chills ran all over me.
You should be delighted to know that the V2s sucked
@@mapleflag6518Sucked so bad the US hired the chief engineer to send men to the Moon.
Beautiful artwork yet again - the skies and landscapes are particularly impressive. I read of one pilot who 'tipped' a V1, only to his horror see it crash right on the main line to Waterloo, blowing a crater in front of an approaching passenger train. The engine's driver was a quick thinking hero himself - instead of hitting the brakes, he increased speed and jumped the train over the hole. This kept all the couplings tight, and the carriages upright and in line as they derailed, fortunately with minimal injuries to the passengers. Had he tried to stop instead, the resulting smash could have been much worse.
PS - I commented on the artistic touches in your 'Shermans behind Enemy Lines' film, and forgot to include the rainbow which briefly appears in one scene. Its the little things like that that really make these films worth watching; your crew are genuine artists each in their own right with some wonderful imagination. Well done, all of you
У меня была достаточно редкая книга,всего около 10000 экземпляров.там была карта плотности попаданий фау 1 и фау2 по лондону.насколько я помню в месяц фау1 до 3000,а фау 2в максимуме 900.
The animation quality is insane. It's just mind blowing. Also, as a big war thunder fan, I'm really happy you guys did a sponsorship with them. Keep up the great work
Just don't leak any documentation
You can’t end it on a cliffhanger, I wanna see what happens with the rocket :(
It was the V2 rocket, the first man made thing to get to space. They served the same function as the V1 but couldn’t get downed.
The allies eventually defeat the V2 threat. But the Germans go on to build a death Star.
@@daffyduck780 The allies ultimately defeat the death star. Germany is broke
@@AstronAndry Then the germans brought in the sun gun.
@@lanej5828 I thought it was a nuke
What a cliffhanger ending! Even though we all know what's up next, we are still waiting with beating hearts for the unveil
Their a Brazilian ww2 pilot Raymundo canário and his p-47D tail number 19663. It's been almost forgotten because I can barely find anything on this story. On January 27, 1945 after he destroyed a tiger tank by a factory, he hits the factory's chimney losing 128cm of the p-47 right wing. Raymundo manged to nurse the thunderbolt home.
Fun fact: the plane is still here today you can visit and see the p-47 "a6" at Museu Aerospacial in Rio de Janeiro
My favorite spitfire story is how the spitfire almost reached mach 1 in a dive
Admittedly it bent the wings to the point where it was grounded after, but yes.
I read an account from a spit pilot that pulled so much g force pulling out from a dive in what was nicknamed the strato spit, spitfire mk8, that the wings looked like corrugated iron and when he regained consciousness he was back at 10000 feet after nearly hitting the sea
Yarnhub you have come so far with your animation & storytelling with your content.
from the first animation you ever made to now you have come a long way.
from the animation classic style to now what looks like live action documentary with voices on top of that is amazing.
the stories you tell of decades past and the way you illustrate & describe them is speechless
having the cat in every video is a little reminder to everyone of humble beginnings when you started your animations (and a nice little easter egg to look out for in your videos)
So I just want to say thank you for keeping these hero’s and stories alive and not to be forgotten by the sands of time.
also I just wanted to say that I think you have earned having a Decal in War Thunder, a lot of creators have a Decal in the game and thought you could as well.
your sponsored by War Thunder so that’s one step done, your Yarnhub cat would be perfect for it.
it could be the paw or the whole cat its up to you, and maybe just maybe you could have a official camo in your classic style for one of the vehicles (PewDiePie did, you could as well)
Hopefully you read this (Sorry if its a bit long...) and if you have made it this far thank you for reading this :)
idk if this will catch on or just sit down here in this comments section, only time will tell
#YarnhubCatDecal
Thank you ! We’ll see if we can make it happen.
@@Yarnhub Hi can you a video on the V2 rocket and max immelmann for ww1
A "live action documentary"??? Come on bro. It's good but the graphics are like Unreal 2 or something. Not even close to "live action". You gotta be joking.
The golden globes should have given you a nomination or Grammy or something by now for best non fiction animated series
Can someone let them know :)
I thought watching Yarnhub with resolution 360p was good, but, man, 480p is immersive!
No no no, wait...
This is 1080p.
Holy shizer, Yarnhub your graphics team needs a raise this is bloody great stuff!
The quality. The story yelling and going back to their point of view. The tease at the end! Bravo! 10/10.
These videos never cease to blow me away with the quality of animation and storytelling, thanks for yet another epic look back into history, Yarnhub!
Mainly, the bomb flipping manauver was rare and short lived as pilots would often hit the bomb with their ammo and detonate it therefore this was prefered to allowing to land somewhere where it may still damage and kill. However after the few rare cases of this flipping reached the Germans, they introduced detonators into the later V1s on the wing tips so that if an attempt to flip it was made, the bomb would detonate and severely damage the aircraft next to the bomb, and so pilots feared this and were hesitant to flip.
Great video by the way, can't wait to see the V2s. Will you be talking about the theorised V3s as well?
Man I love how this almost feels like a movie trailer
My favorite plane is finally going on the channel and the animation make the action look a bit realistic
Every video, it gets better, you can see it slowly evolve each video.
I have been on Yarnhub since the Castle Itter or P51 vs Jets video, I have to say once again how the animation has come is very astounding.
That final scene of the V2 rocket is just insane
Been a while since I’ve been this early, but just wanted to jump in and say that the Yarnhub team has improved once again in script writing and animation. Keep it up everyone! Much love✌️
The V-1 was called the doodlebug, but it was also call the buzz bomb do to the sound it makes.
shame he didnt use the real sound. way scarrier.
credits to the camera man recording this
I love how yarnhub was a 2D animation to this beautiful animation
Incredible!
Let's goo, your videos are insanity now, I get all my war info from you guys.
the silence of the engine just cutting out is terrifying my grandpa was only a baby during ww2 but i could only think of what his older relatives thought of this machine
Oh, man! You guys are improving your video quality in each video. That's so impressive. If you go with this speed, one day you will make Hollywood equivalent movies
Great video. Just recently been given a booklet of The doodle bugs over Chichester. I remember my dad telling me of a Tempest chasing a V1 that seemed to be not much higher than roof top height over Chichester. He said the pilot must have had the aircraft flat out as is roared passed at incredible speed. Something that he said he could never forget. Big Thumbs Up to all our brave men who flew through out the war, in every theatre. 👍✌️👌
The ending was so ominous. I loved it!
The production on this is is far an above one of the most cinematic pieces I’ve seen. Well done
It's absolutely astonishing how much work effort you put in this video. You even made a model of a V2 rocket and launching pad just to show it in literally 3 seconds long clip. These videos are amazing, just wow.
This is some good stuff, only minor thing is that the sirens spin to make their noise so the first scene it wouldn’t be working
Superb animation & great story. Thanks for the video! V2 next please!
Dang I’ve not only been mesmerised by the animation but now I’ve been left on a cliffhanger by the story too. Amazing
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already, I first subscribed to the channel because I saw your second video, the graceful b109 against the b17, in simple 2d animation. Now, all of your videos are in extremely detailed 3d animations. The channel has grown and changed so quickly
I remember reading somewhere that around 50% of V1's were shot down by AA guns using the newly invented proximity fuse that was so secret that it hadn't been used in Europe in case the Germans captured the technology, so the planes were chasing the other half that got through.
I love that they included the pulse-jet effect. That's quite the attention to detail!
The video quality just gets better and better, with each new upload becoming more realistic! Keep up the great work!
These are some of the best animated scenes EVER
The v2 launch and the fire effects
Absolutly a wonderful way to tell such great stories
That ending sent chills down my spine even thpugh I figured out what was coming. Fantastic video as always, Yarnhub!
bro the quality on these animations are just so good. They are just getting better every episode
Ive been waiting for a vid like this for IDK how long thank you yarnhub
My grandma was from Essex in the UK and during the war, a Doodlebug landed in the garden of her house and didn’t explode; it was disarmed and the army allowed her to keep some of its material and she had it smelted down into a wedding ring and she and my grandpa got married after the war.
She passed in 2015 with my grandpa but we still have the ring and I still live near where the V1 landed.
The animation quality and character details are increasimg and getting better EXPONENTIALLY. I love how far the channel has come in so little time!
Used to love reading about this, had an artwork of aces book that depicted a Typhoon rolling one of course. And the ending is fantastic, great work yarnhub as always!
12:06 bro thinks he's James Bond villain 💀
Joke aside that smirk is gold
That ending though, with the german engineer's expression and the crescendo of music at the sight of the V2. *chefs kiss*
Can we give it up to the absolute masterpiece of a cliffhanger at the end for the V2😭
What a coincidence, I was recently reading about these missiles, the engineering behind it is mad. I also love the little showing of the V2 at the ending
Amazing quality. It’s insane how good this looks
hi yarnhub your animation has got alot better and also i just want to say thank you for putting time into doing these videos
Minor note, the red cylinder on the inside of the air raid siren should spin, it’s what makes the noise! Also shame the distinctive noise of the buzz bomb is absent too :( That being said, oh my god the production value of these videos and animations is going from strength to strength, you guys should be bloody proud!
Better and better and better. Well done guys
Gun camera footage survived showing this maneuver on V1 buzz bombs. Turned out to be safer and more reliable when perfected.
The Luftwaffe V1 also used a rocket booster when launched from a ground site. The cruise motor was a pulse motor which sounded like a slow machine gun.
Animation tip: Air raid sirens spin to make noise. The red internal part should be spinning when the siren is going 👍
I love how you kept the story true to how it really happened. Sometimes this bomb tipping is being made out as the British doing this on a regular basis as a preferred method. Indeed as you are telling here it only happened sometimes when their guns jammed or they ran out of ammunition.
Great stuff once again! One of my favourite stories so that was a nice little bonus ;)
It amazes me how you videos went from 2D to realistic 3D animations in just a few years, i absolutely love it!
Very good, small correction, Collier was a Flying Officer, there being no such rank as Field Officer in the RAF. I particularly liked how you showed the V-1s being launched and the graphics of the Griffon engined Spits were very good too. I liked the ending as I am currently reading the Classic Publications book on the V-2. Fun fact, if you can call it that, V-1s were also air launched from Heinkel He-111 aircraft.
amazing job Yarnhub I think you've done so well in the animation to make it realistic.
I hope you reach 1 million sub
Its astonishing how in the 40’s missiles had already existed
Yeah that's right cruise missiles existed even before the 90's and early 20th century
They were one of Hitler's wonder plus they were kind of Cheap to make weapon's and also I noticed a lot of details the animation now on yarnhub are amazing it's improved a lot over the years
I Stil remember the Orginal Franz Stigler Video you guys made. Been watching ever since and I am continuing to love each video as they grow in quality.
My dad was born in Bekesbourne in Kent in 1934. He used to sit on the lean to roof of their outhouse watching the doodlebugs fly overhead. He used to say if you heard it’s engine you were safe.
A small detail was missed with the air raid siren the siren wasn’t spinning to create sound
The British also developed gloster meteor Britain's first jet to counter the flying bomb but sadly never used in combat and face off the me262.
And it makes an appearance at the end of this video
Reminds me of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator, an incredible game from the past that needs to be reborn
"He turns his trusty Spit towards the incoming target" Such a powerful quote.
Great Cinematography with the flight around the Missile, starting at 2:04
The animations are better then playing videogames with my graphic card :D
This act took #1 Balls of Steel, and #2 a lack of knowledge regarding the rockets mechanisms. The knowledge a pilot would have to recognize a rocket, then to affect its path by the tipping of a wing is innate. The potential of a lethal explosion from the maneuver is not. Something like this, by its very nature, defines the word BRAVERY.
Remember, Skipper once said, "Say Hello to the Warsaw Windmill
I really love that you made this but I wish you could've used the actual v1 rockets audio! It's so iconic and impactful.
Amazing work with the information and the animation presented. Good job yarnhub!
"Gee, it *CAN* be done that way"
*Advance Australia plays*
10:44 really, animation is getting better each video. Like the whole thing itself - the „sequel hint“ was nice
Shouldn't that Siren be spinning? Anyways, great animations as always!
& that random doctor guy with the clipboard by the planes spinning prop....
I was wondering what would happen with the bird once the siren spun up. The answer was nothing exciting.
always nice to see another video from yarnhub!
That ending V2 scene gave me the chills
