The Comeback: The Soviet Air War That Actually Broke The German War Machine

Описание: In June 1941, the Soviet Air Force lost 4,000 aircraft in days. By 1945, they were flying 20,000 sorties daily and had destroyed 33,000 German aircraft. This is the story of history's greatest military comeback—how 1,500 factories were moved east during combat, how the Il-2 Shturmovik became the most-produced military aircraft ever (36,000+ built), and how the "Night Witches" terrified German forces in wooden biplanes.

In this video, you'll learn:
► How the VVS lost 4,000 planes in days then rebuilt stronger
► The 1,500 factory evacuation that saved Soviet air power
► Why the Il-2 "Flying Tank" changed battlefield tactics
► The Night Witches who flew wooden planes against the Wehrmacht
► How 20,000 daily sorties crushed the Luftwaffe

From catastrophic losses to total air supremacy, this is the air war that actually decided WWII.
