The Enemy Plane The US Refused to Destroy

Some confusing footage when talking about the He-111 but showing either FW Condor or Bf-110

So much colourful dialogue with so many mistakes, and nearly a 50% level of irrelevant footage. I'd always hoped that this channel would eventually get it's act (and facts) together, but here we are some four years later, and no improvement. Such a shame.

It’s a shame not more of these are still flying I think there is just one of the Spanish made planes with RR Merlin engines

Don't know if it still is there but I saw an He-111 flying around Dallas,Tx about 30 years ago. Very cool aircraft. I noticed it when setting in my KW900L at the terminal one day.

It is pronounced HINE-kel.

These He 111 were also used as an alternate for launching the V1 flying bomb. Attached under the right wing, it could be brought nearer to its destination and be released at 2000m height. The technic was later used by NASA to launch the X-15.

So glad she wasn't cut up.😊

This guy's videos would be much better if he didn't add so much unnecessary commentary. The war stories are already captivating, the information about weapons and military vehicles, aircraft, ships etc., is already interesting and the videos are decent if not better but the over-narrating makes them corny and if not unbelievable. I wish he'd stop trying so hard.

Awesome story as you tell it!

I was born close to midnight in North London, during an air raid. Thank you for eulogising those who were trying to kill mothers and their children. Anyway, your video was riddled with errors both spoken and visual. I've seen many of your videos, they're usually better than this.

"Part of his debts"
6 million soldiers were held captive as slave laborers in France, and at the same time tens of thousands of children starved to death in Germany
This was not a "contract"

They saved it❤

Color me surprised a country would say hey we got your back only to test their own weapons for future battles. Almost like they still do this today.

Makes me happy that that old war bird was saved and preserved, even if it was an enemy plane.

Best looking variant was the Spanish built Casa's , they maybe Merlin powered but a better looking Aircraft ..

Great story!

I generally appreciate your videos. The title of this one is more glib than factual: the "U.S." did not "refuse" to destroy this Heinkel H-20 Aircraft.

Gotta love Aviators and their ingenuity.

Henkel makes adhesives. Heinkel manufactured planes ….and cars ..

If stupid Hitler had wanted to win that war, he should have insisted on jet aircraft, including bombers. But he was stupid idiot Hitler. All hitler succeeded in doing by attacking and conquering other countries was creating resentment and hatred and revenge. Germany should have reached out and helped other countries and made allies with them which would have resulted in a stronger Germany. But Germany had created its own internal divisions starting in 1517. Nevertheless, the HE111 is a beautiful aircraft. "Vee built zem goot in Deutschland, eh Heinie?"

The title of this is sort of misleading

That was a great story!! Thank you.

How did the Germans fly from Germany to Spain since they wouldn’t fly over France?

It would have been nice if you had learned to pronounce 'Heinkel' and .Franco'. It us not 'Henkel' or 'Fronco'!

Maybe waste less time on shit we already know and spend more time on what you profess to know. And it wasn't worth the wait.

Heinkels . . . "emerged from the London fog". At 13,000 feet?

Regardless of the Nazi ideology, UK and France should have been more aware of the dangers presented by Stalin. But they ignored Russia and set the ground for the Cold War and the terrorist state that post Soviet Russia has become.

Well after last night (14/April/2024), welcome to wwiii y'all....
(Poland, I'm talking to you right now, cause "SOMEBODY'S" knocking at your door too/just sayin'!).....

Welp, the ending sure surprised me. I thought the narrator was going to explain that the Americans refused to shoot it (I assumed that he meant the aircraft type, not a single aircraft) down because they wanted to fool the Germans with their faux armies and equipment comprised of rubber decoys before D-Day.... You know, assuming that some of these aircraft types were fitted with cameras for recognizance. Who knew?

Cool story!

So much so wrong. London was not bombed until late in the battle and no bombers made low runs through the London fog. There was a balloon barrage to prevent it. Read some history!

The narrator kept talking about the HE111 but kept showing BF110`s and JU88`s and other aircraft when there are lots of video`s etc of the H111. This is why i unsubscribed from this channel its inconsistence it just jumps from on picture to another which has nothing to do with the video 👎👎👎👎👎

What a wonderful story!

Why did you include footage of the Fw-200 Condor when talking about the He-111?

Guadelcanal? Perhaps the AI narrator couldn't pronounce Gaudalajara

DS’s I heard you use Republican and Nazi infiltrators in the same breath . Hmmm?

Guadalcanal?????

Indeed , the Heinkel - 111 was the Luftwaffe's MAJOR workhorse throughout that conflict .
In My opinion one of the Prettiest , Large Aircraft , ever built too . Like the Mosquito , it just " Looks Right " .

I'm glad they saved the He 111, it's a beautiful plane.

"HEN" Rhymes with "TEN" "PEN" & "MEN" so it's NOT a [Quote] = HENKEL
But it does rhyme with....
"NINE" "TIME" "GRIME" "MINE" & "WINE" so it's a "HEIN"kel as in H.E.I.N
Only an idiot would name it "HENkel" = the company who makes WALLPAPER PASTE

Pilots Discovered the Deadly Flaw of the Henkel, Attack STRAIGHT IN THE NOSE, Defense weps couldn't aim straught ahead, and the See Theu Nosecone that German Pilots and Bombadiers Loved up till they Reaized.

It was getting obsolete when the war broke out , it was badly obsolete from mid war on .

Thanks Yanks🇺🇲🇬🇧👍

Another good presentation ruined by background noise masquerading as Muzak.

Your commentary is often inaccurate. You frequently mis identify aircraft and waste time with irrelevant footage. The use of click bait in titles is misleading. Please stop alienating viewers who could be loyal followers.

How do you mispronounce Heinkel?

Click Bate. What planes were stolen.

Don't think I would class the acquisition of enemy tech as "stolen".
