Скачать или смотреть The Moment German Command Realized Berlin Was No Longer Safe

On March 6, 1944, the impossible happened: American bombers appeared over Berlin in broad daylight, escorted by fighters that “shouldn’t” have been able to fly that far.

Hermann Göring had promised the German people that Berlin was untouchable by U.S. daylight raids. The Luftwaffe would stop any bomber that tried. Instead, 660 B 17s and B 24s from the Eighth Air Force, covered by hundreds of P 51 Mustangs and other fighters, flew through flak and fighters to hit the German capital — and came back to do it again days later.

This video explores that turning point from inside the German system:

At Döberitz and other airfields, Luftwaffe controllers watch the plotting boards fill with red markers as ground observers report “hundreds of Mustangs” coming all the way to Berlin.
In the Reich Air Ministry, Göring hears that his range calculations were wrong, and that the skies he claimed to own now belong to the Americans.
In the air, experienced pilots like Friedrich Lang and terrified rookies like Werner Hoffmann discover that they are outnumbered, outgunned, and out-trained by P 51s and other U.S. escorts.
In Berlin’s shelters, civilians listen to the precise, sequential crashes of daylight bombing and realize that official assurances of “minimal damage” are lies.
Albert Speer walks through ruins and does the math: the U.S. can afford 10% bomber losses — Germany cannot — and no part of German industry is safe anymore.
Adolf Galland and Luftwaffe staff see fighter and pilot losses outstripping production and training, and confidential reports quietly admit what Göring refuses to: air superiority over Germany has passed irrevocably to the Allies.
Hitler hears Göring’s excuses about “new jets” and “miracle fighters” against a reality of burning factories and dispersal underground — an admission that Germany can no longer defend its industrial heartland.

This is the story of how the first mass daylight raid on Berlin shattered the illusion of German air defense, exposed the Nazi leadership’s false promises, and marked the beginning of the end for the Luftwaffe.

If you’re interested in the air war over Europe, the P 51 Mustang, the Combined Bomber Offensive, or the collapse of Nazi Germany’s war economy, this video offers a detailed, narrative-driven look from both the air and the ground.
