dangerous impractical.

As I understand it some of the weapons the Chinese made were knockoffs of German designs. They used copies of Mauser rifles and Mauser C96 pistols. The Chinese liked the combination stock and pistol of the C96 that they insisted the Canadians who were supplying the Chinese with Browning HP pistols that these guns also come with a wooden stock/holster combination.

late war mg 131's where converted for ground use though...

I bet American soldiers in the Korean war who happened to battle against a Chinese soldier wearing one of those helms war did nazi that coming

I used to research WW2 history here and there as a hobby of interest; I still find it interesting, but no longer have the time to study it like I used to; this video brings to my attention how little about China's involvement in the war I came across, in fact, all I ever read was how Japan invaded various Chinese areas and that the US supplied them with the P-40's that became the the famous "Flying Tigers"; thanks for bringing this seemingly forgotten part of history to my attention! If life will permit me, I would like to take a closer look into the history of China's involvement in the war.

Very interesting. Learned something new here. Thank you.

Thanks! A beautiful and elegant design. That said, I believe post war flight test reports from Allied pilots who flew captured Me-262's indicated that the Messerschmitt would have been a challenging opponent for the P-80. However, with the short range of early jets, might the chances of a P-80 and 262 actually meeting in the sky have been a longshot? (pun intended) 🙂

Would love a video or videos about TsingPau

Could you do more on nationalist China’s foreign equipment/support during ww2 ie: weaponry, tanks and aircraft? It’s a really interesting subject that isn’t really talked about by most history youtubers

Well duh

First.

Did you ever notice the Chinese Army’s helmets seemed familiar? What did you think about the video? Welcome back! If you are new here make sure to hit subscribe to expand your knowledge on Military History and join the growing Premier History Community!

A few technical criticisms. The launching ramp was powered by high-pressure steam. The Walther organization designed a power unit utilizing concentrated hydrogen peroxide reacting with calcium permanganate. The steam pushed a dumbbell-shaped piston in a tube running the length of the ramp with a hook protruding through a slot across the top and accelerating the missile to launching speed, augmented by full power on the pulse jet.

i SWEAR TO GOD!!!!! Looking at this documentary makes me upset. it does not take a genus to figure out that 1300 unarmed civilians killed in one day should not equal over 50000 in weeks.. Someone who is smarter than I am could have taken a stand and said if we attack this nation and murder their children cutting them up killing entire families and then stating "WE ARE VERY SUPRISSED THAT IS WAS SUCH A SUCCCESS. You even killed individuals from other nations. I wonder if you have nightmares knowing your next in line to be hunted setting in motion a chain reaction that takes away your families ability to take care of themselves bc you took a selfie while murdering hundreds. I remember how we could have easily been in the same situation as Israel. You know the enemy is just outside of your view. They are hiding just over the head high wall watching you in the town and at the same time speaking to their man on our FOB while trying to figure out if its time to overrun your base. EVERY NIGHT A SECTION OF THE WIRE WAS EITHER CUT OR PULLED APART. It had to be within a 12 hr shift at night with a spotter. I support the people and their family that died. I rebuke and chastise you intel and military. I understand you have been at war for years upon years and even before I was born but Jesus Christ you dropped the ball. THE ENEMY IS RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU AND YOU FAIL TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN, WOMEN AND YOUR COUNTRY. WAR IS WAR AND YOU KNOW IT.

You'd think they would have recorded a video of it flying....

A section isn’t a thing

My father was in WWII, Normandy, France & Germany. I have a patch that is a Red Diamond shape, which was shown here as 5th Army. It has a White 4-Leaf Clover on it and elsewhere I read it was 4th Army. If anyone here can clarify, I would appreciate it.

I heard tell that the American built F4U Corsair made a similar whistling sound when they went into a dive, some say it's true, others say not so. Can anyone confirm one way or the other? Rumor was that the Japanese referred to it as "the whistling death" ???

What a lame historical video. If this is a typical example of what you can turn out, maybe you should try a different line of work. Just sayin.

P-51D

I served in the SADF where we had 'Ratel' as an infantry fighting vehicle also 8 wheeled,with different gun layouts from 20mm cannon, to a 75mm cannon and machine guns.

I saw a post war quote from Herman Goering where he said " if we had the Browning .50 cal we would have won the battle of Britain". But who can say. They did have the 13mm but didn't put it into fighters until later in the war.

The V1 wasn’t a rocket. But the V2 was.

The highest rank I got to, was E-3 (Lance Corporal), before a knee injury sealed my deal.

They were criminals , puppy thein pants, in Finland they arrived.

The blurred background video was NOT helpful. It should have been cleared up or cut out.

“Colonel General” just sounds weird. 😂

Can a second lieutenant order around the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps? 😂

Where are the sea lords? 😂

Technically, the monarch is the commander-in-chief so they outrank even a field marshal.

Weird: why does a major outrank a lieutenant but a lieutenant-general outranks a major-general? 🤦😂

Is officer cadet even a rank? It doesn’t really rank above anyone does it? I can see seasoned grizzled old Warrant officers taking orders from them.

My dumbass thought this was a tactic for hypnotizing the enemy💀

So the Allies did get jets into WW2, just at the very end. I didn't know.

As a kid at Luke AFB, one of the West German kids whose father was being trained to fly F-104s gave me a picture of his dad flying a very early jet with straight wings- I assumed it was a P-80.

Yep

What did you think about the P-80 Shooting Star? If introduced to combat earlier in the war how do you think it would have performed? Welcome back! If you are new here make sure to hit subscribe to expand your knowledge on Military History and join the growing Premier History Community!

I don't think you were correct about a single rank in this video...

This video started the most moronic YT comment fight i have ever seen. Bunch of 11 year olds fighting whose sand castle is better, and whose dad has bigger d....😂

There are no flying examples. There are 2 static examples in museums in the US and England. Neither of them fly.

315ft not 16.

I saw history's mysteries last night and this plane was on it... I cannot stop thinking about it because imagine a few years after this plane when they put the two jet engines on it... I said it's now 2024.. there has been more than enough time for the skunk works team to make that the UFOs everybody has seen nowadays. Wow

Interesfting. How many horses were transported to Crete, North Africa, or did Rommel rely soly on mechenised transport?

Bro’s expected to memorize his face?

Im more interested in the automatic recovery system.

There is one of these on display at the Army Flying Museum in Middle wallop, England

Medals make men put their asses on the line

It wasn't a helicopter it was an autogiro with no propeller. It would have to be towed to a destination like a glider.

S.A.C. the basis of ALL Squadrons.
