Cook's publication introduced the topic in English without critically discussing the subject. [5] More recently, historian Eric Kurlander has discussed the topic in his 2017 book on Nazi esotericism Hitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich. According to reviewer Julian Strube, Kurlander "cites from the reservoir of post-war conspiracy theories" and "heavily relies on sensationalist accounts...mixing up contemporary sources with post-war sensationalist literature, half-truths, and fictitious accounts".

Are you serious, Sir? Does the idea of a totalitarian regime using sophisticated weapons and thereby gaining domination over everyone else actually fascinate you? Type XXII U-boat – a U-boat designed to use air-independent propulsion; two were under construction.This prototype fighter and bomber was the first flying wing plane to be powered by jet engines. Its design was a response to a call from Luftwaffe commander Hermann Göring for a light bomber that would be capable of carrying 1,000kg across a distance of 1,000 kilometres at a speed of 1,000km per hour.

A new study has found that at various times the British have invaded almost 90 per cent of the countries around the globe.I think that if the Nazis had more time, they might have actually won the war since most of these inventions came too late. Also, I wonder how much more scientifically advanced the world would be now if the Axis had won WW2. Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 – an automatic battle rifle developed specifically for the Fallschirmjäger. My son (finance/econ guy) has told me that the Nazis depleted 80-90% of their finances on their weapon production, so their economy basically collapsed, adding to their defeat at end of war.

Every schoolboy used to know that at the height of the empire, almost a quarter of the atlas was coloured pink, showing the extent of British rule. Heinkel He 274 – a high altitude heavy bomber with four in-line engines with a range of 3,440km, two completed by France after the war. Junkers Ju 390 – an Amerikabomber candidate with six radial engines with a range of 9,700km, two airworthy prototypes built and flown.mm Reșița Model 1943 – an anti-tank gun with a muzzle velocity of over 1km/second which could also elevate enough to double as a field gun, reported to have outperformed its Western, German and Soviet counterparts to become arguably the most versatile gun in its class during World War II (at least 375 produced). [5] Among this select group of nations are far-off destinations such as Guatemala, Tajikistan and the Marshall Islands, as well some slightly closer to home, such as Luxembourg. A6 – planned version of the A5 with different propellants; may have also been a proposal for a manned reconnaissance version of the A4b/A9.
