Thought this would be interesting regarding their flying discs. Sorry it's in German, perhaps one of our German members could translate.

The Germans had a lot of ingenious ideas and quite a few got off paper to reality. It is quite amazing really. Most of what we know today in planes, subs, tanks where taken from Germany after WW2. Just plain ahead of the times really.

I can reccomend www.luft46.com. I believe it also has an article on the rocket Uboats.

Well spotted Venatore...can you imagine the U.S. response if rockets had started landing on the mainland :hmm: We might just have witnessed the first atomic bomb being dropped on Germany instead of Japan :o

How about super heavy tank, armed with twin 280 mm gun and powered by two U-boat engines?

I believe the heaviest tank in the US armoury was the T26 Pershing and that was propelled by only one U-boat engine :D :up:

An even heavier device, the P-1500 "Monster", was in the very early stages of design:huh:

The Irony of naming the biggest tank ever built "Mouse" and the planned succesor "Rat"...
