  1. If the Germans hadn’t wasted so much time on bizarre and useless projects they might have been able to continue the war for another week, maybe two, before their complete collapse. 😅

  2. Yes, the only catastrophic loss of life would have been the poor saps trying to fly this pile of shite.

  3.  @ricksimon9867  Why bother? Everyone knows what he means and only a tiny number of zealots actually care.

  4. It’s very much a minority language. Only 1% of the world speaks German as a first language so it’s a bit much to expect anyone to spend too much time perfecting it.

  5. It’s not a vehicle…it’s a drawing.

  6.  @ricksimon9867  It’s YouTube…..aimed at random clickers. I doubt there are more than a handful of videos on YouTube on any subject matter which would satisfy anyone with any depth of knowledge of that subject.

  7. It’s a pretty little plane that looks quite “futuristic” - which makes people think it was some type of technological marvel. The truth is, like many German wunderweapons it faded into history as a look, laugh and forget project. Otherwise we’d all be travelling in flying wings.

  8. Most of the German “wunder” weapons turned out to be a pile of yunk.

  9. On the other hand several manufacturers and party members became quite rich….

  10. No, there are plenty of other mentally ill people out there.

  11. The Horton Bros simply rehashed ideas developed in the USA, USSR and France during the twenties and thirties and considered strapping turbine engines onto them. Hardly ground breaking.

  12. Undoubtedly. Nazi aliens with an inexplicable desire to design aircraft that would never work.

  13.  @CHMichael  Germany never invented the machine-gun.

  14. So millions of reichmarks and thousands of man hours resulted in an Argentinian glider.

  15. So,this wonder weapon was yet another drawing on a scrap of paper that the weharaboos are having wet dreams about.

  16. 😳

  17. You’re implying they did. Anything to back that up?

  18.  @simu31  The same similarities as in other “flying wing” designs from the twenties and thirties.

  19. The Kh isn’t pronounced as sh. It’s pronounced as though you’re trying to hawk up a very stiff and sticky grolly.

  20. although it hasn’t. Has it?

  21. Oh, a mememong.

  22. Only if your son was flying in it.

  23. Coating a structure based on a wing and a prayer.

  24. Yes, directly developed from the Fokker triplane I believe.

  25. As they’re all German every one of them is the best aircraft in the world. 😂

  26. I would think a strategically thrown tennis ball would knock this crate out of the sky.

  27. How were they “brutal reparations?” They never paid them.

  28. No,it didn’t! 😂😂😂😂😂

  29. They weren’t.

  30. It was actually the Amerika bomber. I think they might have got away with it….

  31. But he said it was “proven.” I suppose it’s possible he’s a bit of a closet wehraboo.

  32. Of what time?

  33.  @TerryWhisk  Why bother? German’s likely to follow Latin and become a dead language.

  34.  @V100-e5q  Turbine engines were indeed easier to produce in the actual assembly factory. However producing the compressors, staters and turbine blades were hideously expensive, and well beyond German capabilities at the time. Which was why their early turbines were so disastrously unreliable.

  35.  @V100-e5q  You must have some new definition of reliable hitherto unknown. As for the success of the V2 program - for a random “terror” weapon it was a disaster. The total program cost (equivalent) $40 billion. The Manhattan project cost $25 billion. Which was more successful? 3200 V2s were launched causing 9000 casualties - roughly 3 deaths per rocket. Each Lancaster or B17 on the Dresden raid killed 20 people. Which was more successful? Your obvious idolisation of all things German blinds you to the fact their ideas, designs and manufacturing were a total waste of time.

  36.  @V100-e5q  Actually the first gyroscopic control of a rocket was invented and patented by Robert Goddard twenty years earlier. He also developed the first liquid fuelled rocket. The Nazis simply stole his work, enlarged it and turned it from a means of getting to space into a means to kill other humans randomly. Which is what you’d expect really.

  37.  @V100-e5q  In warfare. They’re not as good as your heroes at murdering women and children in death camps so you win there.

  38. And indeed with the earlier Northrop aircraft.

  39. Bearing in mind by this time the enemies were a few miles away a catapult made from Eva Braun’s knicker elastic would be just as good.

  40. It wasn’t so much Germany lacked those materials as it didn’t posses the technology to process and manufacture them. They had substantial stockpiles of most refractory metals but the two main engineers who had developed sintering and machining equipment had (being Jewish) left the country in the early 1930s and joined a British company called Murex who were also working on developing processes for machining exotic metals. Most of their work bore fruit post war in the forties and fifties which enabled Britain to briefly dominate the “jet age.” Ironically a German company later bought out Murex, shipped the equipment to Germany and closed the UK business.
