This World War II radar- equipped German night fighter could shoot British bombers at night. The German crew defected and the plane is still in the museum.

Subscribe to that YouTube page because he has unusual stories like the very last battle using Nazi tanks during the Middle East Wars. The very last German fighter pilot to shoot down an enemy plane on May 8th 1945. He talks about U-boats that went to Argentina months after the end of the war with Nazi officers escaping. He has all kinds of unusual stories

For all the German vaunted engineering expertise - they never did solve the problem of wing mounted guns. My second question is - I thought only the allies had Radar.
