The Germans designed plenty of jet aircraft but which of them were actually good?

8000 ton U-Transporter (English: " 8,000 ton undersea transport") A very large freight submarine, potentially as means of bypassing allied blockades or resupplying submarines at sea. Weight: 8,000 t Length: 132m Beam: 15m All other information unknown. Drawing is found on the Bundesarchiv...

Blohm & Voss P.191 Very large, 8-engined aircraft. Designed to protect German bombers from flak by neutralizing it midair. Looking for information.

I found this one on youtube,its rather interesting as evidently the worlds first nuclear reactor disaster took place during the middle of ww2 in germany. Whats quite astonishing about this experimental reactor was that it had no control system,it had a way to start it but no way of controlling...

The Regener Tonne, or Regener Barrel, was a scientific payload intended for the V-2 rocket. I saw a user (Hafidz Rahman) had mentioned it in a thread about the possibility of German WW2 satellite projects, and it certainly seems as close as they came. It's the forefather of the sounding rockets...

In 1929 physicist Hermann Oberth coined the idea for a behemoth space mirror that would reflect sunlight onto Earth during night time, thus creating an everlasting day, and significantly boosting crop yields. Sometime in late World War II, the concept was discovered by the Nazis, who sought to...

By mid-1942 the shortage of tungsten needed for production of anti-tank artillery shells was so critical that the Heereswaffenamt issued a specification calling for a Panzerabwehrrakete (anti-tank missile) fitted with hollow charge warhead. Early in 1943, Dr. Otto Kramer began the development...

Hi everyone, I tend to be quite interested in discussing the details of a scenario where the Entente holds the front near the Franco-Belgian border in 1940 (mostly in other forums). I was now wondering what the impacts would be for the RAF. Obviously we may see fewer American aircrafts in...

Henschel GT 1200 By the beginning of 1937, Dr Lorenz of Technisches Amt (Luftwaffe’s Technical Office) was sponsoring the Walter HWK RI-203 rocket engine that promised enormous power for its weight. This engine used compressed air to force a weak concentration of mono-propellant hydrogen...

In the late-war period a battery of the ill-fated 5cm FlaK 41 was directed by a remote controlled system, overcoming it`s manual traverse problems and testing what would be the Gerät 58 5,5cm control system. Does anyone know about this development?

Everyone knows about the Dormier P.85 aircraft project, a Do17Z with, among other differences, floats and straight wings. It wasn`t included in the attached table, taken from a BA/MA file on the contest for a seaplane bomber, known as "Kampfflugzeug See" or as See-Stuka, as may see. There were...

Those who tought, like me, that all the German engineering expertise on hardware airships ended with the Hindenburg, are wrong. The BA/MA in Freiburg has a file (included in RM 7/2382), dated 12.2.1938,and stemming from the Kriegsmarine, refering to a proposal, serious enough to the point of...

The Bundesarchiv/Militäraarchiv listened to my prayers and made available the plans for a German fleet submarine project I was looking after since I bought Eberhardt Rössler`s "Geschichte des Deutschen Ubootbaus", in the early1990`s. All we had was a cross section and the general specifications...

Henschel Zitterrochen The Messerschmitt P 1111 (January 15,1945 jet fighter project) was fast, climbed very fast and high, manoeuvred exceedingly well at low speed, had enough room to transport a lot of fuel and armament, could be built in wood and was surprisingly small and nice to look at...

Mistel VI (September 1944) was a composite bomber comprising one Arado Ar 234 C-2 piloted component and a specially developed Arado E 377 remote-controlled glider bomb. Take-off from a five-wheel jettisonable trolley was assisted by four HWK 501 RATO rockets. The E 377 was a S.V...
