Thank goodness that Hitler was driven more by revenge than by cold common sense. He diverted massive resources from projects such as this one, toward building more bombers to get back at the Allies for bombing the hell out of German cities. Consequently, a lot of really cutting edge stuff never made it off the planning table. And that's a good thing.
- lispm 17y agoreading a bit through the history I have the impression that projects like these were taking resources but achieving little. I doubt a plane like this with the technology of that time would have had any impact in the war, other than losing lots of pilots in an unstable plane.
- cabalamat 17y ago> reading a bit through the history I have the impression that projects like these were taking resources but achieving little I also have that impression. There were loads of advanced weapons projects in Nazi Germany, but most never saw the light of day. For example, they had 35 projects to build proximity fuzes for shells and missiles, but didn't field a single proximity fuze during the war. America, on the other hand, had one such project and made millions of proximity fuzes.
