Скачать или смотреть Hidden Sabotage Inside Germany’s Factories

The Heinkel He 111H assembly lines looked efficient on film, but Allied investigators later found that subtle sabotage was quietly woven into the construction process. Many workers—especially forced laborers—intentionally filed bolts too thin, misaligned wing ribs by millimeters, or mixed components from different batches so aircraft would develop structural problems after only a few missions. These flaws were nearly impossible to spot during inspections, yet they dramatically reduced the bomber’s lifespan in combat. Some He 111 units reported unusually high maintenance failures that, after the war, were traced back to these hidden acts of resistance inside German factories.
