Any known type of helicopters in ww2?

they were produce in limited numbers,not mass productioned as in the allies

 

Yeah, I thought as much.

 

The germans were working on a helicopter, towards the end of the war , as a desperation weapon .I'll send you some info.

 

i do not agree with you,
the germans started to study and produce various model from 1923 to 1945
Fw 61
Fl 185
Fa 223( Fa 233 civil version)
Fl 282
Fa 225 ( really a hybrid of a DFS fuselage with the rotor of the Fa 223)
Fa 330
Wn 342

 

but none as a weapon, just observation and transport

 

I had the pleasure of seeing a Feisler Storch taking off and landing on a very short runway in Florida. The pilot said that the storch was used in the rescue of Mussolini because of its STL characteristics but the original plan had been to use a helicopter. I don't know why the helicopter wasn't used, perhaps the early ones were unreliable?

 

I have never heard of a plan to use a helicopter for that rescue.
Aside from anything else it would have been at too high an altitude for it to cope...

 

I think they hade some to use as recon but actual fighting heli's didn't come out 'till korea and vietnam but they hade some idea
and where using it

 

You may find this interesting.

And you may spot a few familiar names also...
