Скачать или смотреть Germany's Worst Nightmare: The Unstoppable P-47 Thunderbolt | WW2

April 8th, 1943 — 27,000 feet above France.
What began as German laughter at the “flying milk bottles” quickly turned into shock, fear, and the total collapse of Luftwaffe confidence. This is the unbelievable true story of the P-47 Thunderbolt, the American fighter that reshaped the air war over Europe and crushed the Luftwaffe’s elite fighter wings.

In this video, we follow the events over Kong, France, where Oberleutnant Ralph Hermachin watched the slow-climbing P-47s below him and mocked their size, weight, and awkward shape… completely unaware that these same machines would become the Luftwaffe’s worst nightmare.

From the first disastrous encounters, to Robert S. Johnson’s legendary survival after taking over 200 hits, to the rise of the Thunderbolt as a high-altitude monster capable of shredding Fw-190s and Bf-109s in seconds — this episode covers it all.

You’ll learn how:

1. The P-47’s mass, armor, and turbo-supercharger changed high-altitude combat forever

2. 8 Browning .50 cals created the deadliest fire zone of WWII, disintegrating German fighters in 2 seconds

3. Early American pilots struggled, adapted, and ultimately dominated using boom-and-zoom tactics

4. The Luftwaffe went from laughing at the Thunderbolt to fearing its very sound — “Donnerschlag,” the Thunderclap

5. The P-47 evolved into a ground-attack monster that devastated German armor across Normandy and beyond

6. By 1944–45, Thunderbolts were shooting down Me 262 jet fighters and stopping V-1 rockets

7. U.S. industry and pilot training overwhelmed Germany’s shrinking, exhausted air fleet

This is not just a story of aircraft — it’s the story of how industrial power, engineering, and relentless training crushed tactical genius and turned the air war decisively in the Allies’ favor.
