Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer was an incredibly successful night fighter with 121 victories, mostly against British four engined planes. Using a technological innovation of 20mm cannons on his Bf 110, mounted near vertically like organ pipes enabled him to shoot Allied craft from below.

The noise the cannons made sounded like Jazz drums to the German pilots and they nicknamed it Schraege Music. It was the sound of disaster for the allied crews and they nicknamed Schnaufer the Spook of St Trond.

    I love learning about the individual soldiers of WW2, no matter what country they served. Excellent video!!!!
  • I love this channel. I am a young history fanatic, and NOTHING beats this channel. What a legend.
  • Another great animation!! The equivalent of 5 squadrons downed just goes to show how much peril the crews of RAF heavies were in every time they set off for Germany. The night fighter role was ideally suited to the bf110, particularly in the hands of such a skilled pilot.
  • Imagine surviving the deadliest conflict in human history as an airmen only to die in a car accident in civilian life 5 years later

    Life is so bs sometimes
  • we can all agree this is the best history channel out there(so glad I found it )
  • This guy shot down my Great-Uncles lancaster (he was a rear gunner from no.9 squadron, sadly he perished in the crash, rear gunners rarely survived)

    As a german, I appreicate these stories being retold with these (though rough but passionately-made) animations that bring them to new life greatly.
    The atmosphere is conveyed so exceptionally well.
    When I see the ace take a sigh of relief before walking off under the morning sun after his newest victory with that icnoic, german smirk on his face, it feels like I was in his boots.
    Excellent work, keep it up.
  • Not far from where I live right here in Belgium is a memorial stone from a lancaster that was shot down on June 22 1944. Its near a forest where I usually go for a walk. On the stone is a plate with the names of the crew. I try to visit it most of the times I go there, just to pay my respects, and think about what these brave men did for us. Just a few years ago I did a little research, and found out that this was one of the crews that got shot down by this night fighter. The men inside where so young....I often think about them....and still have tears. What they did for us, I will never forget!! Thank you brave men, rest in peace, and may God bless you.
  • Can't wait for them to officially make a movie because this stuff is great~ (even 1hr vids is very noice too)

    Other than that, thank you for giving us a great show once more!
  • @WORRO
    Another great video, preserving history of battles fought in a time now slowly passing. Thumbs up ~John
  • He be doin big brain. Edit: That transition from the sky's to the airbase was smooth.
  • @buellrod
    Absolutely amazing had no idea I don't know how these can get any better
  • This was the best history channel ever. Narration 10/10, Information accuracy 10/10, Animation 1M/10♥️. Yarnhub outclassed the History Channel😆 JK
  • The channel always goes beyond anybody's expectations. Great animations and stories. I loved this channel the second I spotted it. Incredibly accurate and entertaining. Everybody must admit, this channel has greatly improved from when it started. Thank you for all your amazing videos!
  • Dude nearly ran out of wing space for his tally, what a legend. Sad he died so young.
  • I appreciate you also covering the side of the Axis. Heroic feats should be commended regardless of what side you're from
