Germans Never Realized American VT Fuzes Shot Down 82% of Their V 1s in One Day

Описание: Germans Never Realized American VT Fuzes Shot Down 82% of Their V 1s in One Day
In late August 1944, something impossible began happening in the skies over Britain. German V1 flying bombs—Hitler’s terrifying “vengeance weapons”—were being destroyed at rates that defied every law of physics German scientists believed in. Not by fighter planes. Not by balloons. But by anti-aircraft fire that somehow knew when to explode.

This video tells the hidden story behind that mystery.

What German commanders never understood was that they were facing one of World War II’s most closely guarded secrets: the proximity fuse (VT fuse). A tiny, mass-produced electronic device that turned near misses into lethal hits—and quietly saved London during its darkest hour.

From Peenemünde’s confidence in the V1 program, to the sudden collapse of German expectations, to the American industrial miracle that produced millions of revolutionary fuses, this is the untold story of how factories, science, and invisible technology defeated one of Nazi Germany’s most feared weapons.

This is not just a story about missiles and guns. It’s about how modern warfare changed forever—and how a $20 piece of electronics defeated a “wonder weapon” built on human suffering.
