Achtung Junkers: The Genius Who Made Iron Fly

#junkers #junkersju87 #aviationhistory When you hear the name Junkers, what comes to mind? For most, it’s probably the screaming dive of the Ju 87 Stuka or the rugged Ju 52 hauling paratroopers and supplies across Europe. Junkers aircraft were everywhere during WWII, leaving behind a legacy tied to war and destruction. But the man behind the name, Hugo Junkers, had an entirely different vision for aviation. Hugo Junkers believed in progress, innovation, and the power of aviation to bring people together. He was an engineer, an inventor, and a pioneer who designed the first practical all-metal airplanes and laid the foundation for modern aircraft design. His Junkers J 1 was a groundbreaking achievement, and his F 13 revolutionized commercial air travel. But his ideas and outspoken opposition to the Nazis ultimately cost him everything—his company, his reputation, and arguably his life. This video tells the story of Hugo Junkers, a man whose name has been overshadowed by the military use of his planes. From his start as an engineer to his late entry into aviation at the age of 50, we’ll explore how Junkers transformed aircraft design, only to see his legacy twisted into something he never wanted. It’s time to look beyond the bombers and rediscover the real Hugo Junkers—a man who deserves to be remembered for much more than war. ================ CONTENTS ================ 02:16 - Hugo Junkers: Meet Hugo 04:47 - Hugo Junkers: Kick the Tyres , Light the Fires 06:29 - Hugo Junkers: War production 15:03 - Hugo Junkers: After the Armistice 18:52 - Hugo Junkers: Soviet Misadventure 21:55 - Hugo Junkers: Junkers Luftverkehr 24:59 - Hugo Junkers: The Late Bloom 29:20 - Hugo Junkers: Enter the W33 34:20 - Hugo Junkers: The Ju52 and Catastrophe 40:16 - Hugo Junkers: Bauhaus 43:24 - Hugo Junkers: Legacy =========== VIDEOS CREDITS: =========== Junkers Filmdokumente - Das größte deutsche Landflugzeug G 38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT6QCZ9C4O4 Junkers Filmdokumente - Erster Ozeanflug mit Junkers W 33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU7Sa8QcLCw Junkers Filmdokumente - F13 und G24 auf dem Flugplatz Dresden-Kaditz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV1Tj2zyPTI Junkers Filmdokumente - Die Reißner-"Ente" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYPkd60H_EM Junkers Ju 52/3m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCyAJIpYugs Hahnweide Vintage Air Show 2011 - Junkers Ju-52 HB-HOS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDj1N-HEXyk Lufthansa's golden oldie Junkers Ju 52 at Schiphol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHrnzTQmPNQ Junkers F-13 Replica HB-RIM in Leverkusen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIlvzlGrf8k DIE DEUTSCHE WOCHENSCHAU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NsAkHtfieE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-FYpoGjsmc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZgFy7t06eY ============= PHOTOS CREDITS: ============= Junkers F13 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:Ad_Astra_Aero_-_JuF13CH91.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:1919-10-10_JunkersF13_Kabine.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:1920_JunkersF13_Cockpit.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:FVMF.003785.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:Budai_als%C3%B3_rakpart_a_Szent_Gell%C3%A9rt_t%C3%A9rn%C3%A9l,_hidropl%C3%A1n_%C3%A1llom%C3%A1s._Fortepan_16369.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:H%C3%A4t%C3%A4laskun_tehnyt_Aero_Oy-n_lentokone_Junkers_D335_T%C3%B6%C3%B6l%C3%B6n_tavara-aseman_luona._-_N35451_(hkm.HKMS000005-km0024ye).jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_F_13#/media/File:Lento-onnettomuus_-_N35452_(hkm.HKMS000005-km0023ya).jpg Original footage and recreated scenes may not be 100% accurate to the event being described but has been used for dramatic effect.
