Recommended for members with a liability to German WW II projects

[Jemiba]

During the last weeks or months, several posts were made about alleged
late WW II German projects. Without doubt, the German aviation industry,
or better the whole arms industry seems to have been much more fertile,
than its opponents. And without doubt, there were developments, which were
started, or tried to be used earlier in Germany, than in other countries.
The reasons for this and the credibility of many claims were discussed in
this forum more, than just once.
The theme still is fascinating for many people and it's absolutely ok to ask.
I just would recommend to newer members to have a look at older topics, because
some answers may be found there, without risking raised eyebrows, because of
"NO, no Greyfalcon/Friedrich Georg ... stuff again !"

Here are some topics, that may be suitable for having a look at other themes,
that included discussions about credibility and probability of some German designs:

And always worth mentioning, of course, is this point of our forum rules:
"Posts on UFOs, Nazi wunderwaffen/flying saucers, ... and the like are specifically discouraged and
would be better posted elsewhere."

Again, that doesn't mean of course, that no late war Horten or Messerschmitt designs should
be posted, but it should be pondered before, if they can be real and if those sources really
are reliable. And, by the way, mentioning the sources, apart from being mandatory anyway, is
a prerequisite for other members to be able to judge the above mentioned points for themselves !

Thanks for this post. How much of the L46 stuff was designed on a bar napkin in 1944 by some draftsman trying to avoid the Russian front? Most of this stuff would be good to reach service by 1948 even if Germany was relatively secure and well supplied. Maybe it's because the American and British companies could shred their dead ends. Maybe it's because a lot of these German designers and companies were trying to look advanced and cutting edge, and padded their resumes'. (See Re-2007 jet fighter)

I am reminded of an article I read in an armor modelling magazine some years ago about the great German design and engineering. They would never use a simple sheet metal stamping when two precision machined steel fittings would do just as well.
