I heard a Public Radio announcer trying to do a dramatic introduction to William Walton's piece " Battle of Britain" with the phrase: "The English had their Spitfires...The Germans, their Panzers!!!"
I pictured a puzzled and dumbfounded RAF pilot watching a Panzer tank plunge to earth.
This was one of hitlers most secret weapons... they trew bugs on the islands and punch holes on them (because the bug is such a strong and rugged car) so they would sink and the alied command failed to do airfields on those islands... obviusly the project FAILED!!!
The ingenious weapon seen here known as the "Bug Bomb' would have been highly successful, however it was found only to work on insects. The program was scrapped.
Actually to see a bug in the Pacific was quite rare. According to my grandfather, it was mostly Zeros and Karman Ghias and BMWs they fought flying P-38s, P-39's, P-47's, and Dodge trucks.
Thre bug bomb was a joint development venture by the Axis in WWII. the idea was that the bug bombs could be loaded onto large transport air craft and rolled out over a target with no special modifacations to the transport aircraft in emergency situations. Germany was having accuracy problem until the Japanese suggested using people in the drivers seat rather than unmanned as the Germans were trying. After the Germans couldn't find voulemteers to pilot them they embarked on the V1 , V2 programs
There is a video about the Volkswaffe program here on Youtube. It is obviously a fake but I think that it is a well done fake. I found it to be quite humorous.
lol i love this whole volkswaffe thing but its funny how many people think that they were made to fly. they dropped the volkwaggens out of planes not as figters but for crash testing. i dont know why a plane was needed
I didn't know the Germans gave the Japanese Volkswaffe. Or was that Luftwaffe pilots flying for the Japanese in the Pacific? In either case, didn't know the Volkswaffe made it to the Pacific Theatre of the War.
sure, its a waffle. simple german, like volkswagon is a wagon for people, this is a waffle for poeple, also if u look close u can clearly see the waffle texture
Yes that's right: Waffe means weapon and Volk means people. this is of course a joke. There where no flying Beetles. The Beetles or Bugs are made by VOLKSwagen (Poeples car)and where a design by Ferdinant Porsche to create a car affordable for 1000 Reichsmark for every german. The original project was called KDF wagen (Kraft durch Freud - Power from fun) and luftWAFFE (German Air force) some talented jokers put these videos together.
I made it through Viet Nam as an Air Force pilot OK - thankful I never came up against die Volkswaffe piloten having a second run at the yanks.

Luftwaffe is "Air Weapon," it only translates into "Air Force" through the sense of it. And EVERYONE did a lot of testing for their own war efforts.
