[Heinz Laube]

It did bounce back and hit the tail - it is clearly visible in the video. Poor chaps. I just hope they did not realize what happened and that they went quickly.

Back then and particularly during these dramatic years a basic engineering approach was still a lot of trial and error and the cost in human life was accepted. I cannot remember how many people died on the launch site when they did trials on the V2 rocket but it was a lot.

Also few know that 3 astronauts died when trying out the Appollo capsule.

An awful lot of cosmonauts 'vanished' as well, with no explanation from the soviet government. Infact there are quite a few who believed Yuri Gregarin was not the first man in space, only the first to have survived.

By comparison the original video was quite mild, the cliches were based on nothing more than an 'accent' and I thought the 'dambusters' ad was almost complimentary to the 'plucky' german guard, I don't think the world cup footage was even remotely offensive.......but your response video was disgusting and pure racism (proof of a lack of humour)

Check out my Dam Buster animation I did last year. The compression made it way too dark though. Still need to upload a better version:

Edit: here is the model I built for the animation
