Dive Bombers & Combat Aircraft of WW2
439 MB | 00:54:10 | XviD | 624X480 | 29fps | MP3-131kbps
Genre: Documentary
For many in the opening years of the Second World War, the vision of the menacing, gull-winged Stuka dive bomber, plunging vertically earthwards, its sirens wailing like banshees before releasing its bomb load, became the very embodiment of the terror created by the new form of 'Blitzkrieg' warfare unleashed on Europe by the German Wehrmacht in September, 1939.
Designed to assist ground operations, the Stuka was always to be found operating with the leading elements of the army in France, North Africa, and Russia as 'flying artillery'. In this wide-ranging presentation the Stuka is seen in action on all fronts, as well as the Hs-129s and Fw-190 in action in Russia.

Genre: Documentary
The bombing campaigns of World War II were the one element of the air war that had a strategic significance, on a par with the ground movements of infantry and the blockade-related activities of both sides on the high seas. It was this use of air power, first deployed to a significant extent in the 1940s, that was to have a lasting influence on geopolitics for decades to come. Previously, bombing from the air was looked upon as a form of sabotage—an irritant and a hindrance, but not a map-changing strategic factor in the course of a war. However, once bombing was carried out extensively against industrial, military, and civilian targets, it had the power to change battle lines, and ultimately to determine the outcome of a war.
The first use of bombing in the war was as a tactical weapon, by the Germans in the invasion of Poland. The early bombers were converted transports that were originally designed to be transformed into bombers: the Junkers JU86 and JU88, the Dornier Do 17, and the Heinkel He-111, all used in the invasion of Poland. All these aircraft had been tested in the Spanish Civil War and had been found to be vulnerable to attack from the aft and forward directions. The remedy was to create gunner’s nests in “greenhouse” type nests, which were to become common in later bombers of both sides.

German Bombers: The Luftwaffe's Weakest Link
Dual Audio: English & German | AVI | 688x512 | MP3 224kbps | 00:47:40 | XviD | 700 MB
Genre: Documentary
At the outbreak of World War II, German forces were recognised as the best equipped and most efficient in the world. The early successes of the Blitzkrieg campaign, however, disguised some fundamental deficiencies, especially in the Luftwaffe. Throughout the conflict, the Third Reich lacked an effective bomber and by the time this flaw was addressed, it was too late. The price Germany and Hitler would pay for not investing in four-engine long range bombers would be enormous, and a major contributing factor in the outcome of World War II.
Narrated by Graham McTavish. DVD contains both black & white and colour material.
