Nazi Germany was a full-fledged war machine with the extensive use of the
blitzkrieg war strategy the Nazis managed to conquer a huge part
of Europe with a minimum loss of manpower but they were able to do this
because of their advanced weaponry many of their weapons were later adopted and
developed by other countries but luckily for us the Allied forces were able to
crush the Nazi army before some of these inventions were able to see the light of
day in battle here are 10 weapons invented by the Nazis stay tuned in
number one to find out which one could have single-handedly changed the course
of world war 2
number 10 the horton 2 to 9 the horton 2 to 9 became famous as the first stealth
bomber ever the prototype for this Nazi weapon was created by Hermann Goering
who wanted to make a lighter aircraft powered purely by jet engines Goering
had the famous three times 1000 plan an aircraft that would carry 1000 kilograms
of bombs travel 1,000 kilometers per hour and to reach the distance of 1000
kilometers Horton 2 to 9 was allegedly equipped with stealth technology
it had a sleek design and apparently it was very hard to detect via radar the
initial test proved very successful but there were some problems that the
Germans needed to fix they spend the entire year of 1944 to come up with a
better design and operational features for this aircraft when a model took off
in February 1945 disaster struck one of the jet engines caught fire and just
stopped working the pilot initially survived the crash
but died a couple of weeks later due to his injuries at this point that Nazi
forces were working against the clock because the Allies were closing in on
them and they didn't have enough time to further develop the ordinary aft
however they continued working on it until the Allied forces were able to
confiscate it it finally landed in the hands of the US Armed Forces who used it
in developmental research for their own stealth aircraft number nine Zilber at
12:29 this military device which is also known as the vampyre scope was an
infrared attachment for the Sturm guerre assault rifle the main purpose for this
device was to be used during the night when visibility is very low with it
attached to their assault rifle German soldiers were practically able to see in
the dark considering the time it was created this
is one of the most advanced pieces of military equipment ever invented the
vampyre night vision was first used pretty late in the war in the winter of
1945 there were some experiments a couple of months prior to this but it
wasn't anything serious when it was introduced full-time 310 German units
receive this device if it had been introduced some time earlier it might
have had more of an impact on German military success because it enabled a
soldier to move around and shoot in pitch dark places such as caves but also
in forests and mountain ranges with or without the moonlight however because it
came into being in the early days of 1945 it was luckily too late for any
type of mass production nevertheless the device definitely worked well number 8
kugelblitz kugelblitz or ball lightning as it could be translated was an
anti-aircraft gun with a rotating turret my 1943 it was clear to the German
commanders that they had to come up with an effective anti-aircraft weapon the
reason was simple by that time the German Air Force simply didn't have
enough power to stand against the increasing attacks of the Allied bombers
the Allies were gaining supremacy in the air and the only way to find them was
from the ground thus the Germans started building several types of self-propelled
guns for anti-aircraft warfare which could be mounted on a panzer 4 chassis
that is how the kugelblitz came into being it had the basic structure of the
panzer 4 tank the chassis was the same and the turret was mounted on it a
highly effective aspect of the kugelblitz is that it could go around
its axis 360 degrees again the problems with frequent allied attacks combined
with the need to defend on several fronts prevented the Germans from
placing the cuca blitz in the mass production there were only 5 prototypes
and allegedly they were all used in the Battle for Berlin number 7
fallschirmjäger fallschirmjäger or parachute hunter is the name of the
german paratroopers although the idea for using paratroopers didn't originally
come from Germans they are responsible for introducing them into combat this is
because the german paratroopers were the first such military units to be used in
airborne operations on a large scale they were very effective so much so that
the Allied soldiers refer to them as the Green Devils the first airborne units
were created in the 1930s at the behest of Hermann Goering who wanted to include
these units into the regular German air force german paratroopers were an
important part of the occupation of several European countries including
Denmark Norway Belgium Netherlands and France but they were also employed by
the Italian and Balkan campaigns as well as on the Eastern Front they were also
known to perform successful raids and covert actions becoming an integral part
of the German army number six where Gustav this weapon is also known as the
great Gustav and it was the biggest cannon ever built but also the biggest
cannon ever used in combat this massive weapon was being developed in the late
1930s and its main purpose was to destroy the major French fortifications
on the famous Maginot Line and thus weaken the French defenses the Maginot
Line had the strongest defenses at the time and it was crucial to create a
weapon so strong to literally annihilate the Maginot Resistance and provide an
easy access for German troops when fully assembled great Gustav weighed one
thousand three hundred and fifty tons and was capable of firing seven ton
shells up to thirty miles the original plan was to prepare the cannon for the
Battle of France but they were not able to meet that deadline the German army
decided to go without it and when they experienced an initial success and the
Maginot Line collapsed there was no need to rush things
so the making of the Gustav was prolonged it was finally ready for the
siege of sevastopol in 1942 Gustav proved very useful but in April 1945 the
Nazis decided to destroy it so that it wouldn't fall into the Allied hands
number five Fritz X Fritz X is a German armor-piercing bomb that was precision
guided it is generally considered to be one of the very first smart bombs in
modern warfare it was designed to be an anti-ship glide bomb and was the first
of such to sink a ship in battle fritz X was operated
radio command system via joystick n it proved very effective in combat this bar
managed to take down several merchant ships such as the Royal Navy ship Uganda
and the US Cruiser Savannah however it achieved its greatest success by taking
down the Italian battleship Romo and damaging the battleship italia on
September 9th 1943 as they were going toward the Allied forces to surrender
the magazines on the Roma exploded and it soon sink but its sister ship Italia
although badly hit managed to reach the coast of Tunisia
soon after the initial success of fritz X though the Allies began developing
their own electronic countermeasures to try and keep Fritz X at bay and by the
time of the Normandy invasion the Allies had air supremacy they were able to
block German electronic ordinances making Fritz X practically useless
number four flattener F 1 282 the colibri or hummingbird as it was also
known was a single-seat German helicopter the first mass-produced
helicopter ever this helicopter was actually an improved version of a model
the Germans had been working on initially the idea wasn't to use this
helicopter in combat its primary use was to transport objects from ship to
outpost patrols and scouting missions but as the war moved on there were
thoughts about using the FI 282 on the battlefield as well at first there was
only room for one soldier but the improved b2 version of the chopper had
an additional position at the rear this version proved highly effective in
spotting enemy artillery posts the helicopter was also excellent when it
came to operating in bad weather which was a signal for the German Air Ministry
to go into mass production of this unit in 1944 of the German command ordered
1,000 units to be manufactured by BMW whose Munich Factory was producing
German army aircraft at the time the production started but only 24
helicopters were made because air raids by the Allied forces resulted in
destruction of the BMW facilities number three stg44
Sturm go where 44 or assault rifle 44-inch was the first weapon with a
shorter cartridge which enabled a soldier to control automatic fire
compared to the standard used by infantry soldiers at the time it was
very effective and influential because it assured in a new era of assault
rifles and automatic weapons Sturmgewehr 44 is the first assault weapon of its
kind to be mass-produced it is generally considered one of the
most important technical advancements in smokeless powder because of its
reduction in muzzle impulse this is also one of the most important military
inventions by Nazi Germany not because its impact on the war but because of its
later influence the operational principles of this assault rifle can be
seen in collision a calms a k47 as well as the famous m16 number two
Panzer 4 this was one of the most heavily used tanks in the German army it
was a medium tank developed in the 1930s and produced 8500 units
Panzer 4 was a reliable piece of military equipment as it was the only
tank to be continually produced during the war it was regularly upgraded and
improved panzer 4 took around 30 percent of Germany's total tank power it served
on both the Western and Eastern Front as well as in North Africa considering all
the technical aspects it is absolutely clear that Panzer 4 was the best German
tank at the time On June 6 1944 at the moment of the Normandy invasion
there were 748 Panzer 4 tanks present in the area and they played a major role in
the German resistance against the advancing Allied forces number 1 v2
rocket this could have easily been the weapon to change the course of the war
but luckily the Nazis didn't have enough time on their hands to finish it the
initial development and construction of the v2 rocket started in the 1930s but
the weapon didn't see any battle action before 1942 the whole idea behind
constructing the v2 was to have the ultimate revenge weapon as the Nazis
called it because they were infuriated by the
bombings of German cities in retaliation the Germans were planning to use v2 and
cause destruction on a massive scale on June 20th 1944 v2 became the first
object ever to travel in space from Earth when it was launched vertically
the v2 rocket would rise ten kilometers into the air and then fall down in a
curved path at the speed of almost 6,500 km/h hitting the ground hard and
exploding several feet below the surface it came into use in September 1944 when
it was launched against London Antwerp and Liege where it killed several
thousand people however as the Allies were advancing towards Berlin they
managed to capture key manufacturing points in Germany and eventually all the
members from the v2 team surrendered the facilities where the v2 was manufactured
went to the Soviets who moved production to the Soviet Union and zero to hero
we are definitely glad that the Allied forces won World War two but the German
army definitely has some unique and deadly weapons that they had invented
for the battlefield what weapons did you think were the most intense let us know
