Peenemunde 1940

The test rockets shown under production are the A5 -- the prototype of the much larger A4 (V-2). Pay attention to the supersonic wind tunnel.

[@michaeljohnson2566]

Did anyone spot the supersonic wind tunnel? They didn't use a fan. Air not fast enough. So they used vacuum. Pumped air out of a spherical vessel to create a vacuum, and then let the air back in at supersonic speed. It's always puzzling that, being technological enough to produce rockets, they generally didn't make films with sound. The video was initially disconcerting, with no sound, but it then made me watch more closely, and it was then better with no sound.

[@mikerogers4640]

Yes, that early wind tunnel was noted. Didn't know the details, thank you for explaining. Sound movies were possible then, but usually involved separate apparatus and complex syncing.

The way I know it, when the Germans were the first in the world to build supersonic wind tunnels, they did it by detonating explosible. The shockwave from the explosion passed through the wind tunnel at supersonic or hypersonic speed.

Everyone a Nazi - for sure, especially in the military and research facilities. Nonsense. Check the results of the last free elections and then you know about the majority at least 1933. Luckily Trump had been expelled before by the bavarian king who did not gave him the mery he had applied for in 1905 asking for a german citizenship he had lost as a deserter. And the grandson knew about his family secret and they did not wanna talk about that he had not served and fullfilled his military duty of 2 years back then. He illegaly emitgrated before being drafted and he even had the luck to return to Bavaria back then and not to Prussia cause in Prussia he would have been thrown in a military prison for many years. Luckily the place of birth still owns the dociuments of all the letters Grandpa Trump had written - which his grandson has not liked to reappear.

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

Have you ever heard of the "Area Bombardment Directive? of 1941. It was an order to Bomber Command to target the civilian populations of German cities. The target was the geometric centre. "Area Bombardment" meant carpet bombing, "dehousing" meant civilians and "demoralisation" meant terror. The V2 was sent into combat about 6 months before its more accurate guidance systems could be implemented. These were the beam riding system called 'vollzirkel' and a new 3 axis gimballed gyro/accelerometer platform called "SG-66" both were accurate to about 500m and both were undergoing testing. As it was the V2 was quite inaccurate but it was enough for "Area Bombardment". The idea was to bomb British cities so that the end of bombardment of German cities could be negotiated. that is why it was called a reprisal weapon. To all German servicemen and women, the Luftwaffe pilots, the women that manned FLAK guns and radar stations and those who died trying to stop the RAF terror bombardment I say thank you. The Germans were the good guys and now that foreign sounding gentlemen are fiddling little girls in Rotherham, 3400 but actually more, and your government, police and feminists love it. That's why the Germans were the good guys.

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

@@3gunslingers That's not really true, the Germans had resources to finance these,'. The problem for the German economy was trade blocks and trade blockades as well as the Europe the allies had created (after WW1) which was designed to keep Germany week and prevented effective trading. Nevertheless the economy did very will under Hitler berceuse it eliminated fractional reseve banking. Military spending took a huge toll but it was necessary to prevent a French (and possibly Polish) invasion. Remember the French had marched into a part of Germany called the Rhineland and occupied it to extort more Versailes reparations. In doing so they also damage the German economy not only in the Rhineland but in overall Germany making it harder to repay. The Germans needed military spending to protect themselves. Austria joined Germany Willingly and Happily and yes it added money reserves. France had robbed the German treasury and taken the German colonies that would have been trading partners even when they became independent. No guilt or shame need be felt towards France who stole money of Germany under the Versailles treaty and had the benefit of appropriated colonies. The French hadn't even done all the dying themselves, using African troops.

Initially the plan was to create a supersonic fighter-bomber, which could destroy the allie's front line within hours. It came too late and in small numbers to change the course of the war.

[@philup4947]

@brazhell First the Me 262 was not a supersonic aircraft it had a max speed of around 540mph/870kph. As for the British jet it was the Gloster Meteor that first flew on the 5 March 1943 so way before wars end. In fact according to one of my books it was the first operational jet of the war by a few days.
