    Are you telling me that the Nazi kamikaze missile program should've used SquareSpace?

    A design inaccuracy with your model. The V1 and its piloted version are pulsejet powered. Unlike traditional jet engines, pulsejets don’t have turbines inside the engine. Instead, pulsejets fire in spurts. The side effect makes the jet create a unique and incredibly loud noise, giving the V1 its iconic nickname, The Buzz Bomb.

    If you are thinking about bailing out, you've got a jet intake right behind you

    I knew Japan had these kamikaze planes but had no idea the Germans did.

    "the nazis should have used Squarespace" may not have been the best choice of words...

    Heck yes, finished night shift and get to relax with a found and explained video, great morning indeed.

    Interesting Video, but please note they are pronounced M-E, H-E, F-I, J-U, not Me, He, Fi or Ju.

    Square space, helping you design your Nazi death glider. brilliant.

    As the war in Europe ended Ford Motor Company and Republic Aviation in the US was building a V-1 copy for use against Japan. Many were launched from Florida in the direction of Cuba and some got "confused" and headed back towards Florida.

    The pilot had a parachute and there was an auto pilot to handle the last 20 seconds of flight so it wasn’t deadly kamikaze. Japanese kamikaze were bolted and locked into their cockpit canopy.

    Click bait title. The Reichenberg would not have extended the war and it was not maneuverable enough to dodge fighter aircraft. Hanna Reitsch did NOT win the Knight’s Cross, she was awarded the Iron Cross. Hajo Hermann is pronounced Hayo. Honestly, your research and pronunciation is woeful

    Any chance "Found & Explained" could cover the Heinkel He 280 jet fighter prototype as well?

    08:14: In you model is a jet engine depicted, but the V1 and its derivates used a PDE (Pulse Detonation Engine), which doesn't spin around. It has flaps which open and close rapidly. (PDE's were handled already in other videos on this channel).
  • To his credit, it was Admiral Donitz who took one look at this madness and ordered it stopped. Considering what a nut-job he was, this is a surprising flash of humanity.
