I read in abook about the buzz bomb having a pilot.The plane was the Fi 103.So who came up with the kamikaze first the German or the Japs?

The German design wasn't meant to have the pilot die.

Yeap he was supposed to jump out. I dont think the Fi-103 was ever used anyhow.

Hitler's favorite aviatrix, Hannah Reisch was a proponent for German suicide attacks since she test piloted the thing in test flights. Hitler was very against suicide attacks.
