Copy from the Third Reich
October 18, 1947 was made the first Soviet launch of ballistic long-range missiles, collected on the basis of the German rocket A-4 (V-2). The rocket flew 206 7km, deviating from the goal of 30 km. V-2 - is not the only development that has been borrowed from the Germans. We decided to recall several occasions when the German technology began to be used by other countries after World War II.
"V-2»
"V-2" was the world's first long-range ballistic missile. It was designed by German designer Werner von Braun. Rocket took a Wehrmacht at the end of the Second World War. The first launch of "V-2" took place in March 1942. She speeds up to 1700 m / s, and its range was 320 km.
Before the surrender of Germany, the creator of "V-2" Wernher von Braun and his team surrendered to US forces. The plant, which produces missiles, was in the zone of occupation of the allied forces. But two months later, the Allied forces gave the Soviet troops in exchange for West Berlin.
By this time the most valuable things a test and research centers, including a number of rockets "V-2" and the documentation that had already been taken in the United States. The USSR had a special group, which was tasked to collect the test at least a few rockets "V-2". Soviet specialists looked for people who had worked with the "V-2", and missiles across the territory controlled by the Soviet troops. As a result, managed to collect enough material, thereby creating a copy of the "V-2". Assembling the first series of the A-4 rocket from captured components - products "N" - was carried out at the factory in Germany under the leadership of Sergei Korolev. As a result, October 18, 1947 at 10 o'clock 47 minutes Moscow time was made the first start in the USSR ballistic missile near the village of Kapustin Yar in the Astrakhan region.
Flying wing
The aircraft, built on a "flying wing" is also designed in Germany. Since 1931, work in this direction were Horten brothers. The result was an experimental jet designed Horten Ho IX (Ho 229). It was the world's first aircraft "flying wing" on jet-powered. March 1st, 1944 in Göttingen took the first flight. For the needs of the Luftwaffe fighter planes were ordered 20 machines. The air rises two aircraft. April 14, 1945 of the 8th Corps 3rd US Army occupied the factory in Fridrihsrode. One of the aircraft was dismantled and transferred to the United States. This design was revolutionary for the time. Americans have a similar design later used to create some of the reconnaissance aircraft.
"Flying Saucers»
Germany also was being developed aircraft resembles a flying saucer. The project diskoleta, in particular, worked German designer Heinrich Zimmermann. The device was tested in 1942-1943 at the site Peenemunde. Presumably, was equipped with a turbine engine and can reach speeds of up to 700 horizontal km / h, had a resemblance to the basin turned upside down with a diameter of 5-6 meters. Also known project called "Belluzzo Disc", which was created by German scientists. Another project of the German flying saucer - Haunebu.
After the war the aircraft as flying saucers developed in the United States. Recently declassified documents related to this development. The project was called Project 1794. The unit was supposed to make a vertical takeoff and landing and reach speeds of 3,200 to 4,300 kilometers per hour. Flight height plate should exceed 30 kilometers. In 1952, the Canadian company Avro Aircraft also began developing a disc-shaped aircraft vertical takeoff and landing.
M-72
We know that the Soviet Union had copied the German heavy motorcycle project. However, in the Soviet Union and made no secret of this. Originally intended exclusively for military purposes until the mid 50's motorcycle in the free market did not.
As a sample for a complete copy was selected motorcycle BMW R71, which has worked well in the Wehrmacht. USSR anonymously bought five motorcycles in Sweden. In the spring of 1941 production of motorcycles under the brand name M-72 has been established at the Moscow motorcycle factory. Since 1955, the motorcycle M-72 began to sell the public.
"Moskvich-400»
The car "Moskvich-400" was created based on the Opel Kadett K38, construction of which was reconstructed after the war on the basis of the Soviet side of the reparations agreements documentation and tooling from the factory in Rüsselsheim, and the surviving copies. "Moskvich-400" produced by the plant of small cars from December 1946 to 1954.
