The P-47 Thunderbolt was mocked by German pilots the first time they saw it—too heavy, too bulky, too slow to threaten a Bf 109 or Fw 190.
But the moment the Thunderbolt dived from 30,000 feet and opened fire with eight .50 caliber machine guns, everything changed.

This is the story of the fighter the Luftwaffe underestimated…
Until it started dropping them out of the sky.

📌 In this video:
• Why the P-47 dominated at high altitude
• How its dive speed outmatched every German fighter
• The brutal power of eight Browning .50 cals
• Why German pilots feared its toughness
• How it became one of the deadliest ground-attack aircraft of WW2
• Why the “too heavy” fighter became a legend in Europe and the Pacific
