Wunderwaffe (unusual weapon)

As you know, Hitler was obsessed with the idea vundervaffe, miracle weapons that change the course of time the 2nd World War. Somehow, now largely under vundervaffe mean V-1, 2, although the Nazis and many ponaklepali Bole sane and useful projects, which fortunately did not have time to go to the series, and the Philip K. Dick could well prove to be a writer-realist . Here are some of vundervaffley Germany:

WunderWaffe 1 - Night Vision

IR illuminator illuminating the target, the telescope with a filter that converts the infrared to the visible region and a battery for the spotlight. It is applied in the last month of the war in night operations, where it became clear that the thirty-pound battery hanging on the back of a fighter - not the best option.

There was also a tank and an option:



WunderWaffe 2 - Nozzle for shooting from the corner

Krivostvolnaya nozzle for shooting from the corner of the parapet of the trench or "Der Gebone Lauf" ("Crooked trunk"). Used for assault rifle MP44 7.92 x 33 mm (7.92 Kurz). Lasts an average of 200-250 shots wear was crazy.

WunderWaffe 3 - super-heavy tank.

Supercarrier tank "Mouse" - Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus weight of 180 tons and a maximum speed of 20 km / h, kreyserskoy13 km / hr., And practically not so some fighting. Several experimental specimens, as well as numerous variations of unrealized projects got allies, including the Soviet Union. Although invincible armor steer them towards the end of the war was practically no one. "Mouse" because of its immense gravity could not move the bridges are under it fell upon and had to make sealed to force the river at the bottom of

Dvuhstvolny version of super-heavy tank



Not very lucky and cverhtyazhelomu Tiger III, unless its 2nd modification of evil poorly managed ponavypuskat in 44-45 years, forcing the Soviet Union to urgently do the heavy IS-2 and anti-tank guns respective calibers, then the triple to war, except for a few episodes, too, did not have time < br />

Krupp engineers on paper to draw something really quite unimaginable - 1500-tonne tank with a 800 mm gun, two auxiliary 150mmpushkami and a few anti-aircraft batteries. This tank was designed by engineers Grote and Hacker, supposed powered by four diesel engines for submarines.



But this is hardly a tank Germany could not afford to build, even in conditions of full security resources that we talk about the end of the war, when she lost almost everything.

Further development of ideas Mouse should be a land cruiser P-1000 Ratte (Rat)
In general, supergiants and the remaining projects and models. And the invention kummulyativnogo ammunition and generally made them completely unnecessary.



WunderWaffe 4 - "walking tank", land minesweeper

MinenRaumers - developed by Krupp in 1944 for the destruction of minefields. 130 tons of steel wheels with diameter 2.7m. Two-piece, in each section of the engine Maybach HL90. Captured by the Allies, particularly with the United States



And its predecessor companies developed jointly Alkett, Krupp and Mercedes-Benz in 1942:



WunderWaffe 5 - The first guided missiles and bombs
Here are manned bomb BAKA



...



WunderWaffe 7 - the first jet aircraft

Messerschmitt Me 163
The first turbojet fighter - Messerschmitt Me 262, was first used in 1944. Approximately 100 of these fighters shot down 500 Allied aircraft of different types. But the outcome of the war has not been able to influence.



Have not had time to go to a series of Focke-Wulf Ta-183 served as his glider prototype Soviet MIG-15.



Bachem Ba 349 - experimental interceptor missile made its only test flight in March 1945, failed, test pilot was killed ..



DFS 346 - vysokoskorosnoy aircraft for supersonic research. Germany has not been completed, being completed in the Soviet Union, where he was able to make its first flight



WunderWaffe 8 - sub-orbital bomber

Silbervogel (Silver Bird) had all the chances to become the first space shuttle, because the stratosphere it is almost the cosmos%)). Basically not intercepted at the time the bomber was realized only in the form of models for the wind blowing, and subsequently served as the basis for pindosovskoy program Space Shuttle.



It was assumed that Silbervogel able to transfer across the Atlantic, 4, 5 tons of bomb load, and allows Germany and Japan bombed the US. Flight distance theoretically estimated at 14 000 miles, and the rate should be about 1,200 miles per hour.



WunderWaffe 9 - Bomber - wing.

Horten Ho-IX is very unusual fighter-bomber developed in the last months of the war:

WunderWaffe 10 - Every.

Restless mozk Nazi scientists to the role vundervaffley put forward as well:
 - Solar Gun - reflector, which was to concentrate the sunlight and shoot down enemy planes. The experimental model was captured by the Allies in 1945.

 - Whirling arms, which was supposed to create artificial hurricanes. Model into the hands of the Allies, but the value is not practical.

 - Sound weapon - a fact that in today's terms is called thermobaric, and sometimes mistakenly "vacuum".

And of course the development of atomic weapons, which allowed then Pindos in the shortest time to complete his "Manhattan Project".

In general, if not hurried to finish off the Nazis in 1945, no one knows how much she developed this war.

all!!!
