THIS Decision Led To A Massacre | The Me 323 Giant's Bloody April (1943)

I'm fascinated by simple choices in warfare that unknowingly lead to historically important events. Werner Stephan, a Me 323 pilot, falls into this category.

On 22nd April 1943, an entire flight of Me 323's was dispatched by aircraft from the Desert Air Force. Could it have all been avoided? Find out in the video.

Welcome to my channel where I share my love of history and aviation. I first fell in love with military aviation when reading Biggles books as a boy, then I studied history at university. I like finding interesting stories and sharing them with others.

I also followed this passion into the real world and managed to get a Private Pilot's Licence on 10th May 2014.

I'll share my gameplay from the IL2 Sturmovik Great Battles series as well as the Cliffs of Dover series and DCS series too, to give my stories drama. Feel free to subscribe, like and comment!
