Hitlers Vengeance - Nazi secret terror Weapons / Documentary ww2 / WHD

ADOLF Hitler's engineers secretly developed some of the most ambitious weaponry the world had ever seen and Nazi high command were convinced it would lead them to victory in World War 2, even in the final days of the conflict.
The Third Reich had the most technologically advanced and innovative weapons industries in World War 2, with aircraft, tanks and bombs that could match and beat anything else in the World. Nazi scientists pioneered rocket and jet-propelled aircraft, the pilotless plane, long-range rocket technology, "robot bombs" and the world’s first super-heavy tanks. Many of these weapons had a real impact on the course of the war. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union and the realisation that the war could continue for years, Hitler put great resources into the development of new and technologically advanced weaponry, in the belief that the production of "wonder weapons" were the key to winning the war.

Hitler's stealth 'flying wing' bomber

Referred to as "Hitler's secret weapon," the Horten Ho 229 bomber was designed to carry 2,000 pounds of armaments while flying at 49,000 feet at speeds north of 600mph.
Equipped with twin turbojet engines, two cannons, and R4M rockets, the Horten Ho 229 was the world's first stealth aircraft and took its first flight in 1944.

The Fritz X radio-guided bomb

Considered the "grandfather of smart bombs," the Fritz X was a 3,450-pound explosive equipped with a radio receiver and sophisticated tail controls that helped guide the bomb to its target.

A remote-controlled tracked mine

The Nazis' Goliath tracked mine was anything but Goliath-like in stature. Known as the "Doodlebug" by US troops, the mini-tank was controlled with a joystick and powered by two electric motors, later replaced by gas burners.
Goliath was designed to carry between 133 and 220 pounds of high explosives and was used to navigate minefields and deliver its explosive payload to defensive positions.
