In July 1942 a German Messerschmitt took off from Leipheim airfield in Bavaria…but it was no ordinary aircraft… It was an Me 262 - the world’s first operational jet fighter. Powered by two Junker Jumo 004 turbojet engines and able to travel 120 mph faster than the revered American P-51 Mustang, the Me 262 offered a ray of hope in the increasingly dark skies of the German Luftwaffe. On paper, it was faster and more deadly than any other Allied fighter plane, yet despite this remarkable feat of German engineering, the Me 262 proved not to be the salvation Hitler had hoped for… Why did such a frightening aircraft that could have been the kryptonite to the Allied Air Force, fail to make its mark during the Second World War? And how did this special aircraft spark a new era in aviation history… In this video, Dan Snow travels to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) at RAF Conningsby in Lincolnshire to see a remarkable reproduction Messerschmitt Me 262 fly in the skies over England for the first time

Military historian Dan Snow MBE reviews the evolution of warfare over the course of 250 years depicted in historical movies. Spanning from the late-18th to early-21st Century, Dan charts the development of battle tactics and strategy, as well as the rapid evolution of weapons technology which have transformed the battlefield. In the second episode, starting of with Fury (2014) starring Bard Pitt and Shia LaBoeuf, Dan explains how the concept of a pitched battle was made obsolete by the introduction of armoured vehicles, more specifically, tanks. Although tanks had been introduced in the latter years of the First World War, it was only in the Second World War that they became integral to the strategies of Allied and Axis armies. Two of the most iconic tanks from the conflict are seen in this scene from Fury, the German Tiger Tank and US M4 Sherman. Dan assesses the pro and cons of each tank and analyses how they were used in World War Two. Moving on two decades from the Second World War to the Vietnam War, depicted in Casualties of

Military historian Dan Snow MBE reviews the evolution of warfare over the course of 250 years depicted in historical movies. Spanning from the late-18th to early-21st Century, Dan charts the development of battle tactics and strategy, as well as the rapid evolution of weapons technology which have transformed the battlefield. In the first episode, starting of with The Patriot (2000), Dan comments on the use of columns of infantry advancing slowly toward the enemy musket volleys in the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783 - a battlefield strategy that seems almost archaic to us now. He also details the early forms of guerilla warfare seen in the American Revolutionary War, that were used to chip away at British morale. Moving on over half a century later in Glory (1989) - a film starring Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick and Samuel L. Jackson depicting the horrors of the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865 - Dan notes how battlefield strategy, such as that seen at the Battle of Antietam in 1862, had barely changed from that seen several decades
