…Destroy Any City. "It is May 1945, Nazi Germany has been defeated and the former Allies are now trying to get their hand on as much of the Nazi developed technology as they can. It is well known that Wernher von Braun and his V2 missile was the foundation of the American Space program but that was not the only rocket that the Nazis were developing. Starting in 1942, after the United States have joined the war against the Nazi's and Japan the Germans believed it was time to develop weapons that could strike back and hit the Americans back home. The "America bomber" project was started which focused on a long range, piston engine bomber that could cross the Atlantic ocean and hit the East coast cities. This project ultimately delivered two working prototypes, the Messerschmitt Me 264 and Junkers Ju 390, which actually took to the air but never tried to cross the Atlantic…" link

German jet engines had a 5 hour to service time and the rocket engines in the ME-163 Komet had a bad habit of exploding. Every nation in WWII was testing new aircraft and none were developed that could in small numbers impact the war. If you counted all of the payloads of every V2 fired one thousand plane day raid (or night raid) far exceeded the payload and was more accurately dropped. |

"Had this vision become reality, together with a progress that was made towards developing an atomic bomb, the consequences would have been frighting indeed!" Yeah but not nearly as frightening as the Nazis getting the Ark of the Covenant which was slightly more likely than them getting the "Silver Bird" operational carrying a working Nuke. Fatman |

But if the Sanger SilverBird carried the Ark Of The Covenant…. |

The nazis did get the Ark of the Covenant at one stage, and it didn't end too well for them. |

I think we forget that model to successful weapon can be a long path. |

Wow ! That was a close escape! Wonder how far the nazi's would have got with building the three mile long launch track….before the Allies bombed it…. Think that one's more Luftwaffe '88 than '46. |

So the Nazis, fighting for their very existence, were going to develop a space shuttle. |

Nazi super weapons are rocket ships and land cruisers. Allied super weapons were Centurion, proximity fuzes and rational production priorities. |
