The Most Feared & Dangerous WWII Nazi Fighter Pilots...

Send us Fan Mail As Germany found its forces split to fight the British Commonwealth in North Africa and Greece and the vast Soviet front in 1941, the Luftwaffe found that even with its proven fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf109 and the Focke Wulf 190, they simply didn’t have enough to meet all the requirements Hitler asked of them effectively. What they needed was a new weapon which would leap-frog German fighter technology far beyond what the Allies possessed. A weapon that was not only deadly but simply unstoppable. They needed a Wunderwaffen and they believed they had one on the drawing board already. The Messerschmitt Me262. The first operational jet fighter in the world. With a level speed of 560mph, an altitude ceiling of 37,750ft and a rate of climb recorded at 3,900ft a minute, the Allies simply had nothing like it in their inventory. It could blast through fighter escorts and wreak havoc on Allied bombers with its four cannons mounted in its nose that could almost saw their way through a bomber’s fuselage. But despite the promise, one fact has remained undeniable throughout the history of warfare and that is that any weapon ever fielded has only been as good as the person using it. Therefore, in this episode we are going to examine some of Germany’s top jet fighter aces of World War II. The first jet aces.
