Dem Nazis don\'t know about MIRVs or ICBMs.

Meteor Blitzkreig!

The movie will be interesting, though it will have a fair share of technical errors.

The nazis were supposedly working on a saucer-shaped anti-gravity vehicle, but I doubt they ever intended to put it to use as a space drive. Nor is there any real proof that antigravity is a force.

They didn\'t read http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4293 if you want to know what really advanced stuff they were working on.

I live in Germany and wonder if that movie is really going to be aired here.

That\'s still a bit biased though-it mixes the completed designs with ridiculous napkinwaffe like the Lippisch P13, and massively overhypes the nazi nuclear program-they didn\'t actually think that a bomb was even possible, thanks to Heisenberg mucking up his calculations, so a nazi bomb was hardly \'close to reality\'.

Its illegal to put swastikas on things in Germany.

Also, they probably wanted to use it for flying planes around.

They did have a heavy water manufacturing facility.

They intended to build an energy producing reactor, and possibly radiological weapons, but not a nuclear bomb.

It looks like a good movie, apart from its a comedy. Would have been a better scifi film if you ask me.

If someone tried to make a serious Sci-Fi film out of this premise, it would be so completely crazy as to be a de-facto comedy.

I wouldn\'t say that. The premise is crazy, but there have been more crazy premises to come from hollywood that have made success.

My favourite Wunderwaffe was Herr Doktor Zippermeyer\'s Vortex Cannon.

For me it was the Horten H.XVIIIA

Ironically the concept of flying fireballs did appear in pre-war science fiction magazines - I am actually reading all those vintage Astounding Stories of Super Science magazines which by modern standards is actually of higher writing quality and more engaging than many of the writers of today.

So now we know that the Nazis were so desperate to turn the tides that they resort to putting DC Comics concepts to the drawing board... then making them. Sadly focusing on the one-off and experimental is not the way to win a world war.

Its turret looks like a German helmet.

Fact-In Germany it is illegal to do the Nazi salute

You win the most Off-Topic comment award. ;D

Anyway, the Heinkel Lerche is my favourite:

Why did they steal Kerbal Rocket designs?!

I told this to someone on my schoolbus who pretends to be Hitler and Mussulini, among other dictators.

[Scruce]

What are you talking about? You know that the Lerche was fifty years before KSP, right?

[RedDwarfIV]

I thought the Triebflugel was interesting.

It\'s a joke.

Luft46 designs definitely look very Kerbal. Kerbal + C7 pack, to be precise.

Some of them look way ahead of their time and have concepts that found their way, big or small, into Cold War and even modern aircraft too.

P.215 = SpaceShipOne type tail fins.
