Here's an interesting bit. In the MTO, two USAAF fighter groups flew Mk V and IX Spitfires. The Mustang wasn't in use there, and there was only...
How would 560 kg of uranium oxide make a difference to the US nuclear bomb program when the US was producing well over 1000 kg of uranium oxide A...
Let me toss this in as an additional nail in the coffin of the P 13. The US captured a prototype and actually did extensive wind tunnel testing...
That was in the US 10+ years later, not during WW 2. The Germans didn't even have correct geometry for the one reactor they started to build....
In terms of nuclear weapons Germany: Had ZERO means to produce plutonium in usable quantities for a nuclear weapon. That would require graphite...
While I think this is in the realm of conspiracy theories and little more, it's more likely that he means weapons like Winterballon, Sommerballon,...
For the Allied bomber offensive to fail, the Germans need to produce somewhere around 6 to 8% losses with say, 12 to 18% damaged aircraft, per...

Much more humorous version: [MEDIA]
Outside of some so-called wonder weapon, I'd say if the Germans could have done civil engineering on some level approaching what the US was doing,...
Yes, they were. As Buxton points out in this book, [IMG] The British built monitors because they were a cheap way to get shore bombardment...
Not really. By 1943 the Allies were already ahead of that game. They had sonobuoys, MAD, scanning sonar, homing torpedoes, fast sink depth...
A nuclear weapon would have been the obvious choice, but that wasn't in the cards for the Germans. Their capacity to build such a device really...
Again, it argues for the SAM. Most of the guidance system already exists as technology: Radar, analog computer fire controls, radio, and a...
The 262 isn't the answer. There are two serious problems with it, one of which is insurmountable. The first problem is the aircraft is horribly...
Hey William! Do you really want to go through this again...?
Of all the things the Germans could have produced in an advanced weapon it would have to be a surface-to-air missile. Most of what they did...
Looks more like First Army XIX Corps to me.
While it was not exactly WW 2, this is probably the most hated military ration ever! [MEDIA]
The C31 is an 8.8cm mount, while the C37 is a 10.5 mount.
