25,000 Feet of Hell: B-17 Bombers Over Berlin 1945 🇺🇸 #ShortsAdded:
1945, above Berlin, Germany. The sky burned red as American B-17 bombers crossed into heavy anti-aircraft fire.
Flak explosions shattered the frozen clouds around them. One bomber lost an engine instantly. German fighters appeared through the smoke. Tracer rounds ripped across the wings while terrified crews fought to stay airborne.
Inside the freezing aircraft, nobody spoke. A wounded tail gunner kept firing through shattered glass and fire. Still, the bombers pushed forward. Below them, Berlin burned.
