A curious German weapon

[johnniewc68]

I share with you photos of one of the most curious designs of the Luftwaffe during World War II. I'm talking about Junkers Ju-287 and its unusual design. If it had entered into service and built in quantity would have changed the course of the war? What do you think? I found this website that provides information about this aircraft. Visit the link below, you will find it a lot of photos and a full report on this almost unknown aircraft. I hope you enjoy.

1. The Nazis developed a lot of impressive airplane designs, not to mention rocketry ....

only after the Allies already had air superiority and could bomb factories in Germany and occupied France flat. Hitler approved the development of a lot of impractical weapons that drained the resources of the Reich (1000-ton tank, 1350-ton gun that required custom, double-track railways). At the same time, he punished von Braun's team for "wasting time" designing a multi-stage rocket -- one that could have hit the USA from Germany, and would have been the first ICBM -- and even satellites (which could have carried weapons as well as communications systems). Jet engines, flying wings, guided bombs -- all developed by Nazi engineers, but never adequately supported until too late. So, could it have "changed the course of the war"? The short answer seems to be, "not with Hitler making the decisions".
