Gnadenburg. I don't know about the Hudson or Beaufighter but both the Meteor and Canberra had Vmca speeds around 40 knots above lift-off speed. If you were quick enough you could reduce power on the live engine and regain yaw control.

Mauswara. Might be generalising too much if you say that all the prangs you mention were low hour pilots on type, and that contributed to the accidents. Probably the most spectacular accident of them all was that which killed over 500 people involving a KLM B747 at Tenerife where the captain had hundreds of hours on type.
