The Drone that Changed History - Prof Simon

cool video again sir :)

wow Iv'e got goose bumps!

Amazing story, thank you.

Old man Joe Kennedy was known to be outwardly racist. Being the oldest son, Joe Jr must have picked it up from him. Thankfully, it didn't seem to be passed on to his younger siblings who seemed to be indifferent about race at worst, when they were young, then becoming champions of Civil Rights in their adulthood.
Yes, Joe Jr may have been "a man of his time" about race to an extent, but his non-Working Class background is what let him down. A white person from a Working Class background in America, may have been racist too, but more so in a "You're not going to marry my daughter" sort of way, than a "You don't know what you're talking about, & it would be silly of me to even listen" sort of way. A Working Class white American wouldn't have been so quick to have completely dismissed the professional opinion of a black person, because many of them worked with black people, so they knew, that Blacks were quite capable of having a valid, common sense opinion.

I guess Heath Robinson was to Britain, like Rube Goldberg was to America, except Rube Goldberg's inventions remained cartoons as far as Rube Goldberg was concerned? I imagine, they may have inspired some wacky inventions or even competitions with a Rube Goldberg theme.

Wow, thanks for the history lesson.

Who was the copilot?

I remember doing a radio wave propagation test in Germany in 1990. The portable transmitter w/ it's antenna needed to be high up for the test. Germany didn't have many tall structures outside of big cities, so I had to do a test from high up in a flour mill one time. There was the smell of microscopic particles of flour in the air. I remembered reading or hearing about flour & sugar mill explosions, so I hesitated a bit, then I turned on the transmitter. Fortunately, it didn't go BOOM! Even though it had less than 30 watts effective radiated power, it was foolish of me to not simply cancel the test & find a safer location, as there's a lot of luck, good & bad, about the conditions needed for a grain mill explosion.
Whenever I hear about the MOAB & FOAB bombs utilizing grain mill explosion technology, I shudder to think about what might have been, when I foolishly switched on the transmitter in that German grain mill so many years ago.

Great Video 👍

Plus Joe's brother worked with the man who designed the rockets to gwt man to the Moon. Fascinating!

The Darwin Award goes to Joe🥇 for not listening to a qualified engineer.

A very informative video, many thanks

I'm surprised Mark Felton hasn't covered this.

interesting stuff,,, now we have a psychotic draft dodging traitor wannabe dictator despot about to cause not only a civil war creating the divided states of america but also fully engage us into WWiii leading to the extinction of the planet killing murderous cancer known as the human race off this once beautiful planet,, and deservedly so.... why else do you think there's been so many ufo/uap sightings??? they're either watching and waiting for the grand finale or it's the military industrial complex prepping for their false flag fake alien invasion to start their NWO billionaire bromance oligarchy dream world w the help of the lunatic far right christian extremists who think they're gods chosen ones praying for armageddon.. think who'd be the most useless people once disclosure happens??? billionaires & their corps... Musk's liquid fueled rockets & ev battery tech would be useless overnight same for bezos bransen & the others... who has the money to fake it w thousands of satellites in Earth's orbit? why else would 2 spineless fragile ego billionaire bigots would team up and buy/steal an election??

wow thank you for this.. never new any of this .. was the v3 ever used i wonder

WooHoo! Another great one, Prof! Thanks

I learned something today. Thank you!

The US Army Air Corps recovered over 200 V-2's and at least a couple Horten Ho-229 flying wing jet aircraft during Code Name Operation Overcast (Operation Paperclip) in 1945. The captured V-2's were immediately started launching at White Sands in 1946. The first photograph of Earth from space was with a modified V-2. It took the Army Air Corp, becoming the Air Force in 1947, ten years to reverse-engineer the V-2 so that it could be entirely manufactured and assembled in the USA. The design and manufacture of the V-2 took the Germans only 3 years, from 1941 to 1944. Peenemunde started being bombed in 1943 and the Germans had already moved V-2 production to Mittelwork, where the captured V-2's were found. Also found was the A-1, the Amerikaner Rocket which was designed to carry the A-9, a stratosphere rocket plane designed to carry a nuclear "dirty" bomb to be dropped on New York. The Boeing 707, the first swept wing passenger jet was built from German Workers Nationalist Socialist Party engineering drawings. There was a lot more found that is still classified.

Fab bit if sad history. Thanks Prof. Top show.

Beautiful and respectful. Well done

Excellent video, thank you Prof Simon 👏👏👏

Good show Prof. thanks .

The anti v2 attack in the b24 naval version with the radio controlled version. Do cool they sell it as he was truomg to match.jfk after his boat escapades

A great story I never knew of thanks for it Prof Simon

Having worked in Nigeria with a mixture of Europeans and Nigerians on deep sea diving projects, where peoples lives depend on the abilities of the group involved, I can understand the reservations and concerns of Joe Kennedy, no racism is required to make that judgement call,
To pretend otherwise is simply ideological virtue signalling.

I thought the v3 site had, unknown to the allies, already been destroyed by a RAF tallboy went down one of the barrel shafts and exploded underground. That was the tragedy, the operation was pointless.

If you visit Parham aircraft museum in Suffolk just north of Woodbridge. There's a lot of Information on this subject. Plus near rendalsham forrest

My great uncle Hubert was involved in the planning of these flights. He was an explosive and fuse expert from the Air Ministry, and I found his notebook containing many cuttings from post-war articles about Kennedy's final flight. Uncle went to Germany in April 1945 and entered the underground V2 factory at Nordhausen with the US Army. They had 3 weeks to remove all the rockets they could manage before the area was handed over to the Russians. Uncle later helped gather V2s from the British zone for use in operation Backfire.

The US still has its own legacy of degenerate National Socialist policy and people now mixed with degenerate ultra-Woke progs. Certainly a schizoid nation of Extremists. I use the terms accurately.. And they don't half drone on globally, in all senses, and support so many Nazti factions, historically. I'm always amazed they fought against Hitler, except Germany owed their Bankzters so much money.

A couple of summers ago I was researching my family tree and visited the village of Blythburgh in Suffolk, as several generations of my ancestors lived and are buried there. I think Kennedy’s plane blew up somewhere near the village, as Blythburgh church contains a small memorial to Joe and this particular mission.

Big bang theory - Did this one prevent an even bigger one over Cuba in the early 60's? (Dramatic chord : )

Professor Simon!

The German Misteltoe drone program was far more so successful and effective that Project Aphrodite. We might be living in a different world had Joe Kennedy Jr. had survived the war. Thanks Professor for this interesting historical story.

I wonder how far the military is ahead of the rest of the world now days. The gap has probably grown exponentially since the time he is covering in this video.

The most important part of the story is the nazi secretive base in the mountains and it's rail tunnels.

Fantastic story.

That truly was astonishing.

I had absolutely no idea about this, thanks for sharing your research.

Visited the Mimoyecques some 25 years ago, when one could still roam around the upper 'tallboy' craters. Awesome! Certainly the most impressive of the ''special sites'. Pity we didn't hire the same guys to build HS2.

Tragic, I guess.

Six degrees of separation 😎🕊

🤓 EXCELLENT episode, Prof Simon! You just get better and better. 🤔🙂

I remember reading about this many years ago and thinking that this is an example where a random static spark changed the possible future of the world. This is where quantum effects may have split our timeline (for proponents of the multiverse theory). Without that real world application of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (sorta...not really....but you know what I mean), with that possible random spark either happening or not, meaning human history may have taken very different paths.

Great video, Prof, you knocked this one out of the park! And I never knew about Eisenhower's son being an aviator on that mission...until now. Thank you for your time/research!

Interesting story Simon Thank you very much Cheers

What about the mystery of the Cheddar cheese, the fact as to why you can't buy it in France?

I really enjoyed the history lesson Professor, especially with the declassified footage. So tired of regurgitated stories, and this is far from that. Thank you.

Thank you for keeping us up to date with uap/ufo news professor most of us truly do appreciate your channel and to some of us (me included) your words are good as gold!

interesting; never heard of this before :) Cheers

Big Favour. if you like this video please share it on social media ...weirdly YT only told 178 of my 136,000 subscribers, the video was published! why?
