The Germans had this technology and the allies didn't have anything closely comparable yet we are supposed to believe they didn't know how to build an efficient killing machine for disposing of Jews... Hmmmm????
Bletchly Park feedback through Double Cross counterspies led the Germans to shorten the range of the V weapons, but they still landed in Britain, mostly short of downtown London and toward the dock area. Churchill, in a bunker far underground mostly during the day and all night during the blitz and then during the V weapon attacks, was told off by a disgruntled British woman whose lower-class neighborhood had suffered from the V weapons. He retreated without challenging her.
Crossbow - a failure only continued for political reasons. V-1 launch ramps were only 37' long and only visible from the air shortly before a launch. The Americans thought it sensible to continue max effort through France and Belgium rather than waste aircraft bomber sorties area bombing miniscule targets. JFK's older brother John, groomed to be U.S. president was killed when an explosive-laden B-17 unfit for further bombing sorties blew up before he could bail out and it crashed into a V site.
The V-2, sponsored by the Wehrmacht, was a fairly-long-range for the time supersonic rocket which went up to about fifty miles and then came down at a speed in excess of mach 4, which meant that most of those who died never had a chance to hide before the explosion. After Peenemunde was bombed, they were launched out of Poland. After the war, the strategic bombing survey determined that 16,000 V-1s and 14,000 V-2s had been launched against Britain and European cities such as Liege and Antwerp.
The V-1, a pulsejet-powered Luftwaffe-sponsored subsonic drone was stabilized and in effect guided by a gyroscope, which initially could be defeated by tipping the craft. Then when the Germans put a proximity fuse on the thing, that could not be continued because to get close to a V-1 was then suicide. After that the RAF had to shoot them down from far to the rear because if they got close and the drone blew up that was also suicide. Both V weapons featured just under a ton of explosive..
@mjmikelson Allot of the computer generated images were not produced from the actual photo's.They were independently drawn and rendered in 3d,Not only did the people who generated these 3d models have the WW2 photo's to work with but they also have modern mapping,satellite images and actual geographical surveys of the sites to aid them in constructing their models which were rendered to match the old fuzzy photo's.There are hundreds of modelling suites out there that can do this.

Does anyone know what software they used to make the stereoscopic photos look 3D on the computer screen?
