Not being much of a German aircraft specialist, I find myself stuck trying to identify this strange little pusher bird... It may well be a Focke-Wulf project, but that's my only clue. I'm sure someone will be able to identify it soon and put me to shame! Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry for asking about another probably fake German late-war project. At http://henk.fox3000.com/panther.htm there are some pictures showing a model of the "Panther APC". Here is one of them: Do you have any idea if it is a fake (as I suspect) or indeed the Germans thought of such a vehicle...

Hi, you guys may want to throw eggs at me for this one!. I am aware of the many german helicopter projects that went on during the years of the third reich..but a friend of mine insists there was an "attack helicopter" designed near the closing stages of the war- not like a...

Germans fielded a number of airborne AT rockets in the winter of 1944/45. There were Panzerschreck 1 and 2 and Panzerblitz 1 and 2, while Panzerblitz 3 and 4 were in development. Sadly, there's an incredible mess in available books as far as details of these rockets are concerned - e.g. I...
