The "Heavyweights" of Luftwaffe


I share with you a report showing a fantastic collection of photos of aircraft designed during the Second World War to bring war and destruction far beyond German borders. However, all of them did not pass the stage of prototypes and testing. What do you think if these planes had been built in quantity? They would have changed the course of the war? Visit the link, see the photos and give your opinion through the poll at the end of the article.

By 1944, the war was essentially over.

The Nazis, like all cults - left and right - were actually destroying German science and engineering as quickly as they were destroying other people's countries, and their own country as well.

What cities do you think they would have utilized these on should they have made it into production? Maybe as part of the invasion of the Soviet Union? Moscow and Stalingrad?
