British Secret Wartime Follies

British science made some dreadful bloopers when they were give free reign to design during WWII. Some such as P.L.U.T.O. worked well, others such as "Kapoc Landing Stage MkI" and "Giant Panjandrum" didn't! (Americans needn't smirk, we'll show their efforts next!)

These inventions look like contraction made by ACME that you will see in a cartoon episode of Road Runner and Wile E Coyote.

The Panjandrum looks like something I used to make in Garry's Mod.

I watched this video a couple of years ago... And then I was introduced to Hetalia. Now that I'm looking at this video again, it feels a thousand times more amusing because I can imagine the Britain character trying to attack Germany with these experiments!

No wonder we lost the war and Germany won with the European Union.

This might have miserably failed, but the Germans weakness was they always thought in straight lines during wartime - in invention and tactics. The British didn't. Look at the St Nazaire Raid, bouncing bomb, invention of the tank, invention of radar, HMS Argus, Operation Mincemeat, Enigma Machine etc. Honestly, the British armed forces aren't what they were now - but you can at least the equivalent of another half which is provided by the ingenuity of British thinking during wartime.

Salutes. Its thinking outside the box like this that partly makes the British who they are.
