It’s July 30th 1943 in the skies over Germany and a B-17 named Tondelayo is under attack. In the back is tailgunner Michael L Arooth. Mike as he is known to the crew is ready as the German Me 109s and FW190s come in.. Sometimes 4 at a time. Mike fires away at the mass of German fighters as do the rest of the formation as today there are 186 Flying fortresses and 123 P-47 Thunderbolts in a raid upon German factories.
Getting hit by heavy fire, many of the crew bail. Mike fought on battling the Germans and lack of oxygen. In the end though the plane would have been brought down if it weren’t for the actions of an unknown munitions worker who was forced to work for the Germans.

    • Obviously we don't know the conditions this one was working in, but from other similar cases of Germans using slave labor, it was relatively easy to slip a bunch of bad components past their not so vigilant inspections. In Poland when it fell the small arms factory in radom was supplying components and whole weapons to the resistance. What I am getting at is that if he/she wrote a bunch of messages at home and then slipped them into the factory, they could have been put in every single dud shell quite easily. Especially if the explosive filler was solid, a little scroll could easily be mistaken for explosives.

    • It might have been other German labour camps but Schindlers' factory was actually unlikely to be the culprit according to accounts on how Oskar Schindler ran his camp. He aimed to avoid any troubles or eyes from his SS superiors, so most of his inmate's "products" were actually bribed or bought from legit factories using Schindler's own wealth and connections. Even a slight suspicious from the German Army would doom his entire camp inmates, where in the eyes of Schindler every single inmate was a human being, each with their dreams and hopes, rather "just a number". Still in a way his factory did "sabotage" the German industries by not actually adding anything to the war effort. And all in all, despite how post-war claims on the sabotage efforts by the enslaved populations by the Germans, it was actually very difficult to perform actual sabotage on German equipment and ammunitions. Mainly due to the quite short life expectancy for the inmates, especially near the end of war, so hardly any time to understand to production process to successfully sabotage undetected. In addition, those inmates tend to be unskilled workers with hardly any manufacturing experience since those that did were drafted into factories early on and usually worked to death already. As such even those brave enough to sabotage ends up being amateur and spotted and usually lead to the execution of him and other inmates in the group. Most of the reliability issue of German late war equipment actually stems from the German's own overengineered design being too demanding for the subpar quality replacement material that Germans decided to use as resources dwindled, rather than many pro-German WW2 fans claiming how the German tank and guns design were "the best" and only let down by "sabotage of lesser races".

    • После заключения соглашений в Осло (1993) возникла Палестинская автономия (Газа тогда была ее частью), и израильтяне начали поэтапный уход с оккупированных территорий. Это повлекло не только самостоятельность, но и разрыв части хозяйственных связей. Поэтому за первые три года частичной независимости ВВП сектора Газа упал на треть. Потом связи стали восстанавливаться, и к концу 1990-х жизнь вроде бы наладилась. Но в 2000-м началась интифада Аль-Акса (общепалестинская война арабов против евреев), и хозяйственные выгоды отошли на задний план. В 2005-м, чувствуя, что ситуация зашла в тупик, Израиль осуществляет так называемое одностороннее размежевание - эвакуирует из сектора еврейских поселенцев и выводит войска. После чего в Газе происходит политическая мутация. В 2006-м на последних свободных выборах там побеждает ХАМАС. А в 2007-м Газа под его руководством отделяется от остальной Палестинской автономии, в которой власть удержал менее радикальный, чем она, ФАТХ. Все функционеры ФАТХа, кого хамасовцы не успели убить, бежали через Израиль к родным палестинам, а Газа превратилась в де-факто отдельное государство, всепоглощающей идеологией которого стала борьба с Израилем на уничтожение. ХАМАС действовал совсем иначе. Он сразу объявил всех евреев врагами, войну против них назвал священным джихадом, а всю политическую программу свел к очень простой и понятной всем формуле - уничтожение Израиля и израильтян. Нападения на Израиль, ракетные и наземные, происходили теперь регулярно, но это уживалось с сохранением некоторых хозяйственных связей. Накануне нынешней войны Израиль бесплатно поставлял в сектор 70-80% потребляемой там электроэнергии и снабжал Газу нормальной питьевой водой - качество местной очень низкое. Из Израиля туда поступали также еда, медикаменты и топливо для местных предприятий. Во-первых, Израиль не мог перекрыть границу Газы с Египтом, и именно через нее в Газу неформальным порядком проникало довольно много всего. Поэтому ракеты там все равно производились, и в огромных количествах, а бункеры по-прежнему сооружались, нравилось это Израилю или нет. Спору нет, сначала интифада, а потом приход к власти ХАМАС резко ухудшили жизнь в Газе. По мнению Международной организации труда, к 2020-му подушевой ВВП там был на 40% ниже, чем в 2005-м. Но дело даже не в таких подсчетах, которые применительно к Газе достаточно умозрительны. Движение Газы к сегодняшней катастрофе было довольно последовательным. Другим системообразующим фактором стала деятельность UNRWA, Агентства ООН для помощи палестинским беженцам. Его финансируют в основном страны Запада, а многочисленных работников (это тысячи учителей, врачей и других служащих) оно набирает на месте. Именно в активе UNRWA очевидные успехи образования и медицины в Газе. Но попутно оно избавило ХАМАС от многочисленных невоенных забот, по существу сделавшись его гражданским подразделением. Никакого контроля со стороны западных спонсоров над ним нет. Обучение в школах подчинено идеологии ХАМАС и осуществляется в атмосфере исступленных идеологических накачек. Третий важнейший фактор - демографический взрыв. Население Газы за последние 70 лет выросло в восемь раз и достигло 2,1 млн. Сейчас рождаемость идет на убыль, но новый народ уже возник. Совместима ли нынешняя его численность с крошечной территорией (360 кв. км) - вопрос к специалистам, которые, по-моему, не знают ответа. Четвертый фактор - внешнее финансирование военной машины ХАМАС. В первую очередь, иранское. Но средства, поступающие из Катара и других стран, не прямо, так косвенно, идут на те же цели. Поэтому у режима ХАМАС есть редкое преимущество. Он не нуждается в домашней экономике, которая бы его содержала. Его гражданские потребности оплачивает ООН (а до недавнего времени также Израиль), а военные - боевые товарищи извне. Из этого вытекает пятый фактор - любая хозяйственная деятельность в секторе Газа, не завязанная на агрессию, в глазах режима выглядит чем-то вроде необязательного приложения. Больше половины рабочей силы - безработные, получающие от ООН и других спонсоров убогое, но достаточное для пропитания пособие. А те, кто где-то занят (их 250-300 тыс.), либо служат в частях ХАМАС и других боевых организаций (только их суммарно около 50 тыс.), либо трудятся в военном строительстве и кустарной военной промышленности, либо обеспечивают хамасовскую машину необходимыми ей услугами. Тех, кто вне этой системы, просто меньше. Кто-то из них бежит из Газы (примерно по 10 тыс. в год), кто-то пытается выбраться в Израиль, кто-то барахтается в остатках местной экономики. Важно, что режим без них всех легко может обойтись. Три предварительных вывода 1. У режима ХАМАС нет не только идейных, но и материальных мотивов для какого-либо мирного перерождения. Он вполне гармоничен, опирается на семидесятилетнюю местную традицию и может быть либо уничтожен, либо сохранен таким, как есть. Перевоспитать его, комбинируя давление и уступки, невозможно. 2. Сектор Газа как целое и его жители порознь не имеют никакого опыта мирного существования за собственный счет. Имеющиеся у большинства из них навыки нацелены на отправление идеологических и боевых практик, а не на труд обычного типа. Предоставить их самим себе в надежде, что они как-то справятся, нереалистично.

Stepping out of the line, dissobeing orders would get you, or your loved ones killed. Guns were tested during manufacture by Germans(or their supporters) and each worker could be back-tracked by serial number and punished if he made "a mistake" during manufacture. Therefore guns needed to be realible "just enough" for couple of shots, or magazines, before they jam, so they pass testing. Many people were caught, many innocent people died. "That was all we could do for you back then."

Was their brave act discovered, resulting in their execution? Or did they live for many years after, wondering from time to time if anybody ever got their note?

I've watched numerous documentaries and films about the Eighth Air Force and our own Bomber Command and I have to say this up there with the best of them for getting an insight into the courage and horrors of the air war. I am now pleased to say I'm a subscriber to your channel.

  • The way you guys setup the dogfighting to suddenly silence and the wave of Flak was movie-quality. Really got my blood pumping. EDIT: Yknow, I think you guys have become my favorite KZhead channel. I watch a lot of diverse content but there is nothing like the commitment to growth and improving that the Yarnhub team displays. I truly hope you guys aren't like Mustard or whatever other channels that got into historical story based animations just to build a capital of followers so they could sell the account (Rightfully getting lambasted for it afterwards). I don't sense that from your team, though, and wish you all the best in your continued dedication to history and bringing it to life for us that never experienced it.

I loved watch Simple History, and saw the video and clicked on it. The most recent video on the channel at the time was when Franz Stigler saved Ye Olde Pub, the original. I can proudly say that I was one of the first 10,000, if not less, subscribers of this channel. It has been amazing to watch this channel grow, and that I've been along for the ride.
