Why were German wonder weapons so big flop?

V-2 Rocket was the most well known German
wonder weapons

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is the text, what I sometimes wanted to write for explaining, why Nazi wonder weapons ("Wunderwaffe")  were the biggest flops in history? There is one very good reason, why those weapons ever got effect against allied forces, and that was that they were produced so little number, that they would not have any kind of effect against allied forces. Another reason for those flops was that they were produced and drawn by very big hurry, what caused the situation, that there were many mistakes in planning and production of those in paper very good airplanes and submarines. One of the best examples of the good ideas, but in real life, bad and dangerous product was Heinkel 117 "Greif" what motors had got too little coolers, and they made that airplane very easy to burn in airborne.


And because of the Nazi-bureaucracy, nobody changed the drawings, and production of the aircraft, what had two V-motors with a double number of cylinders, but the coolers were metered for half size motors continued even if many of those aircraft were actually started to burn in airborne because of engine overheating. Also, the famous V-2 rockets had one problem, those rockets were actually planned for scientific purposes, and that made them very difficult to a product. The missiles must be the large number, and that's why almost every missile in the world uses solid fuel because that allows manufacturing a large number of missiles. V-2 could be effective if there would be used biological or chemical warhead, but luckily those plans were disbanded.



When we are talking about "real weapons" the problem with those real weapons was that they were ineffective against allied forces. And because of Focke-Wulff and Messerschmitt fighters problems with allied aircraft the Nazi government wanted to make new kind of weapons. One of those weapons what were effective was FX-1400 ("Fritz X"), what was first used in 1943 against Italian battleships and one of the DO-17Z-3 bombers was able to get direct hit to one Italian battleships gun tower. One thing makes me think, that maybe some of those problems with bombers were caused in purpose are involving in this weapon. Why the survivability of those bombers didn't make better by using laughing gas or some other oxygenase in the motors of those bombers, what would allow them to fly higher altitude. And avoiding the air defense and some fighters of allied forces.


That was shown how effectively guided missiles could be worked, but the problem was that the Luftwaffe had to transfer the production of bombers to the fighters, and that caused the loss of a number of bombers, what had the capacity to carry those glide bombs. Also, the training of airmen to use that weapon was difficult, because allied fighters disturbed those pieces of training, and loss of fuel caused problems for flight operations. When we are talking about German submarines and their weapons, there were made new kind of torpedoes, what could guide to the target by using electric wires, what was in the spinning rod, and the captain of the submarine could drive those torpedoes to the target by using two circuit breakers. Those weapons were ineffective because if the captain of the submarine made the wrong move while losing the sight of the torpedo, would those torpedoes destroy own submarine.


The "Walter turbine", what allowed to drive submarines underwater with high speed flopped because the fuel was too exotic. And the principle, where steam for turbines was created by mixing hydrogen peroxide and water was very good, but those submarines were ready for their first patrol in May 1945, and they couldn't make an influence for the World War II. But those submarines were the very good vision and technically advanced. And some bad rumors tell or claims that they were produced for allied forces as the commercial card, what kind of things the German military engineers could do.  One of the reasons for the failure of those wonder weapons was that their users could not wait for the sign of their effectiveness against the enemy.


If some of those wonder weapons were not hit the target, that meant the delaying of the production of that system. And of course, German factories were gone under the heavy bombings, and that made impossible to the product of those new weapons, and that made them ineffective against any target. They were very technical and difficult to the product. But the air superiority of allied forced Germans to make those weapons, what was not very effective, sometimes because of the small production numbers. Of course in German political culture was very many cases, were the engineer, who made mistakes just executed, and that's why those people hide mistakes, what they made in very high pressure and for those projects were given very short time. That made those machines dangerous for their users.

Space X's Falcon 9, the new way to make rockets



Falcon 9 first stage recycling test

Space X-corporations "Falcon" rocket is representing the new way to make rockets. The rocket itself doesn't need massive space centers, and it can operate anywhere, where finds hydrogen and oxygen. The rocket would lift off and land to any helicopter landing site, and the noise of this construction is, of course, the big problem. The normal vehicle, what can be used with this rocket seems to be the ship, where this new kind of shuttle would operate. In the pictures, this rocket operates from normal space centers, but when we are thinking the capacity of this vehicle, in the future it could operate from anywhere, there is no need to avoid the noise.



I know, why also Pentagon is very interested in this kind of rockets, what can use many times. That rocket would allow NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) to send their satellites anywhere from the Earth, and this kind of heavy rockets can also operate with modern miniature shuttles, what can be used as an anti-satellite, reconnaissance and other missions like giving service for satellites. The concept of Falcon would allow making new kind of Moon shuttles, what can travel between Moon and Earth, and bring samples of the dust also from the asteroid belt.


Also, this kind of concept could work as the base for Mars lander, what would bring samples from red planet to the Earth. Those Falcon rockets can also operate with huge airships, and in this scenario, the rocket would transfer to a very big distance from cities by using airship or big cargo-plane, and then it can be launched to the orbital trajectory. This is the very good point when we are thinking about the noise of space rockets.


This kind of concepts can operate from normal airfields, and they can be shoot to the orbiting trajectory far from the sea. When we are thinking about the innovation of this rocket, the engineers might be stolen the idea of this marvelous spacecraft from "Tintin" cartoon, where the main character flies to the moon by using functionally similar rocket than this "Falcon" is.

Wernher Von Braun, and using empty rocket stages as the revolver-shape space station.


(Picture 1)


Kimmo Huosionmaa

There were stories, that legendary Wernher Von Braun planned cheap space-stations by using the empty rocket stages. Empty rocket stages would send to the orbiter with other launches. And that would make the station very cheap. The needed gasses, what are actually the pressurized air, would be packed in the bottles. If the used gas would be pure oxygen there would be the risk of fire in that space station would cause the explosion. The station would be built in the Lagrangian point near Moon, where it would need no fuel to stay in right position.


But von Braun didn't mention that this kind of space station would have more capacity if the stages have assembled in the form of the revolver cylinder, and the stages or modules would be set in like patrons of the revolver. This shape would allow getting the space station as the rounding situation, what would make the synthetic gravitation possible.  The picture above the text is an artist impression of same style space station but in Von Braun's original idea the cylinders were installed lengthwise and the number of the cylinders or empty rocket stages was three or four.

Lagrangian points
(Picture 2)



If the modules would put in the body like the patrons have put in the revolver, the small size "artificial world" could be possible, and if the space station can grow the food inside its core, the system could work independently. And because of the independently produced food, the service flights must not make so often. The use of empty rocket stages would be helpful to keep that project in secrecy, and in the real life, those empty stages would be pulled to the right point by using small spacecraft like X37B.


This kind of modular space station could be very effective for any kind of missions on the space. The artificial gravity and the electromagnetic shields would make the astronauts allow stay very long time in that station, and they will not get any weaknesses or cancers in the staying at the station. That would help cover the existence of that space station.

Astronauts, robots and virtual reality (Project CODE EVA (Enhanced Vehicle Agent))




Spacesuit or EVA (Enhanced Vehicle Agent)
Picture 1


Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are many things on the Earth orbiter, what needs that astronauts will go outside their ships, and this is the reason, why NASA innovates the spacewalk techniques and equipment, what will enhance the operational range of the astronauts and even allow them to return to the Earth using only their spacesuits. The problems with the shuttle orbiters are, that those vehicles are always under the surveillance. If the crew want to do anything secret at the earth orbiter, that operation will be seen from the Earth with telescopes. The objective of ”EVA-project” is to give the astronaut capacity to operate at the orbital trajectory without the spaceship, and in the ideal scenario this operator could be launched to space by dressing only the space suit, what will protect this person from the cosmic radiation and the radiation, what comes from the Sun.


The equipment what is created for that project is like some jetpacks, what can operate outside the Earth atmosphere. The rumors say that some of those equipment looks like the torpedoes, what is equipped with rocket motors, and they will allow the spacemen to fly freely on the orbiter, and the solar eruptions can be avoided by staying the dark side of the Earth or acting like in some computer games. Those astronauts will use the satellites as the cover against the raised level of the radiation, what will be very dangerous for any living organism. When those astronauts will return to the Earth, they might step in the cargo-bay of X-37B or some other devices would be used.


Modern technology and remote-control equipment allows to replace human astronauts by the man-shaped robots, what can be controlled from Earth using the Virtual Reality equipment and the same kind of data-suit, what have used in the animated movies to move the characters on the screen. The only difference between that equipment and the equipment that is used by control man-shaped robot on the orbital trajectory could be little surprise. The system what is used to move the cartoon character on the screen is moving the virtual character, but those sensors what the actors use in the studio can connect to the physical robot.

Picture 2


Animation system bases technology, where the place, where the sensor is will be located with extremely sharp in the room, where are necessary sensors, what can locate the sensors, what hangs on the actor's suit.  But the GPS-system can give more effectiveness for the data-suit, and the plates that are used to position for those gloves and other parts of human body can also equip by the GPS, what removes the necessity to use special rooms for the animation. In this model, the transponders that are used in those data-suits will replace by GPS-system, and that allows the person work anywhere anytime. And the VR-mask can be replaced by the mobile telephone, what can also be used to send the control signal from the data-gloves thru Internet for animated character or robots.


In some scenarios, those astronauts might have the shields with them, and they would use those things against the heat, what is the main problem when the spacecraft will be returned to the earth. So those hypothetical astronauts could stand on the shields, and because the top speed of free fall piece in the atmosphere is 250 kilometers per hour, could those astronauts use the parachutes for landing. Another idea was to use the chairs, what would be equipped with temperature shields. That kind of seats might look like the barber's chair, because that thing might protect the feet of the astronaut, and drives the pressure front bypassing the astronaut. Those parachutes can be multi-staged like first would be small-sized, and those things might slow the astronaut's speed, and then the bigger parachutes will be opened. Or if we use more imagination, those astronauts might have the jetpacks on their back, and that equipment might help them to fly across the atmosphere in the places like C-130 cargo bay.


The idea of this thing is that those missions could allow from the public eyes. The launching rockets must not be any big rockets, and probably the ”Pegasus”-rocket would have enough capacity to launch the ”free fly astronaut to the Earth orbiter, where this person can be picked by X-37B or they can use the ”space mopeds”, what means small size rockets to fly in the higher orbiter trajectory. Also, the missiles like ”Trident” can be used in those missions. The launching vehicle what is planned to used will fly its mission like in the launches of satellites, and the operation would be automatized. Those missions might stand the only couple of hours, but if those astronauts would have good stations in use, they could stay in the space very long period. In the original idea of that project was to spy the Soviet satellite but it might have other goals.

This is what the science can make in the hands of tyrants



Kimmo Huosionmaa

The most horrifying society on the Earth was “Ahnenerbe”. This society what created for supporting the Nazi-German military technology was an organization what investigated many exotic things like communication with four dimension aliens, genome, time travel and electromagnetic propulsion system. The problem with those persons was, that they were individualists, who were in danger to send in the concentration camp because of their theories, and that’s why they must be protected also from Gestapo. The SS-officials afraid that some leader of the Nazi-Germany says that some scientist was “too individualistic” and sent them to the gas chamber


The Vril society was the part of Waffen-SS RSHA (Reichssicherheitsdienst) AMT II (Economic and Financial Directorate)and head and supervisor of those scientists was Dr. Dipl. Ing SS-Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler, head of the secret weapon projects of Waffen-SS. Exotic propulsion systems and the time traveling were under the high control of VRIL (SS-E-IV), what mission was to produce exotic flying machines like saucer shape V-5 (Hönebru). V-5 was source what had the jet motor in the middle of it, and in the edge of that saucer was radial equipped jet motors what made it fly with incredible maneuvers.


The tests of that system ended because of lack of fuel at the end of the World War Two.  The more exotic version of that system was the accelerator in the middle of it, and the system was the series of electromagnets, what rotates in opposite directions. That motor is known as the WARP or “The Bell” (Die Glocke). The reason why that thing ever tested was that Germans had no power system for it. Today I expect that that kind of system might be tested in S-4 area inside AREA-51. The reason why those systems seem to have no power system is maybe that they will pump to that machine electricity with radio masers. Those radio masers work like Nikola Tesla's “Vanderbilt machine” and transfers the electricity thru the air.


The theoretical time machine was the most exotic thing what was created by those scientists. That was the saucer shape system, what had a ring shape particle accelerator under it. That system has in theory capacity to travel in time. And the thing why those men were so interested in those things was the so-called collective memory. In that time was clear that some of our fears are heritable in the species, and if Nazis could travel in the time, they are able to modify that thing in our nervous system, or if the large-scale time travelling was possible, they can move their troops to the past, and win the British soldiers in the past.


But when we are looking for the evidence of the Vril, the society what was lead by the medium Maria Orsic, we must see that there is one particular thing about those women, who took part of that action. They all had very long hair, and they claimed to contact with other civilizations what lives in Aldebaran star. This thing made somebody think, that maybe those women in the Vril might be used as a “human radios”, the persons who learn the speech and then repeats it when that person gets the mark. Some autistic persons have that kind of skill.


Some code breakers think that so-called “Aldebaran civilization” might be mean some scientists who live in outside the German borders. Those scientists might be travel outside Germany in the Antarctic project, what was the most interesting part of the Vril society. The society made also genetic experiments under high control of Waffen SS medical stuff. Those medical tests made by persons like Josef Mengele, and they consist the crossing the species.The purpose of those experiments was to make the perfect military persons.


And some persons have made the bad jokes about that Antarctic project, that Nazi-scientists wanted to create crossing about the human been and penguin. And maybe they're attempted to build the secret U-boat base in the Antarctic. And maybe some scientists moved away from Germany to some secret settlement to the South America. And maybe that settlement was codenamed as “Aldebaran”. In this theory, those scientists hid from Gestapo, because their individualistic thinking might cause the situation, where they will send to the concentration camp. And the problem was that those people were needed for creating the Nazi war machine equipment.
