Country: | V8 What if Germany's missile program would have succeded... What if their assumed UFO project would have become a reality...??? What if their jetfighters would have been ready by the beginning of the war... |

Country: | I don't think so... Germany was interested in UFO technology...and with a leader like Hitler, who stopped at nothing an by the end of the war he had gone desperate, the project was given green light... Tests have been carried out with different engines and fuselages |

Country: | Most of the things you see are infact not real, however there were thousands of designs they were working on including flying disks. The problem with any of these designs is that they would have been powered by existing jet engines which had to replaced after only 10 hours of flight time which would have limited there effectiveness. This would have been the case until they could design better jet engines. A good site to see some of the experimental aircraft is: http://www.luft46.com/ and a good series of books to check out is the Luftwaffe Secret Projects written by Walter Schick and Ingolf Meyer. The books are a series each one covering bombers, fighters, ground attack, etc. All can be bought from Amazon.

Country: | it wasn't the design of the engines that limited their use to 10 hours, it was the fact that Germany had run out of the right metals to use in the engines, so they had to use other metals that couldn't take the heat that well............

| And the fuel. They couldnīt even provide fuel for all jets, not to mention the prop driven planes. Donīt take the Ufoīs seriuos, please. Schriever, Habermohl, Bellunzio and Miethe never succed to build a free flying one. Just some sketches and a very few R/C-planes, only.

Country: | It never materialized to this day... The topic was "What If?", wasn't it? I never meant to be made fun of... But think at the fact that germany had some of the most brilliant scientific minds of that era... And also concider the fact that most inventions(transport, protection, distruction) were made during/befire/after wartime... so it wouldn't have been such a wonder to acheive that goul... I'm sorry I was found amuzing...
