The Nazi Plan To Bomb New York

[The Viceroy]

The actual program described how von braun adapted a V2 into a piolet controlled missile, which would have been suicide for the pilot.

It also described several different strategies, including bombers and direct missile attack. They opted for the dirty bomb, because they knew they could at least build it.

Thank God we blew the heart out of Germany, before they managed to build this.

How can anyone be shocked about these plans when the "good guys" actually destroyed 2 cities with the a-bomb?

[notyoueither]

I'm wondering about the whole 'dirty bomb' bit and how real these 'plans' were. Isn't it true that prior to studies in Japan after the war that the effects on populations were largely unknown or guess work?

I believe that the Nazis were trying to develop weapons to be able to hit the US. That is not news to me. I have to wonder about the choice of war heads being reported though, since that sounds like it required knowledge gleaned only after the fact.

We'd all be speaking German now.

[notyoueither]

Not really, Berlin would be glass more likely.

My name shall be Meier if any Anglo-American bomber will ever be seen above Berlin.

The Nazis had a policy of not using gchemical or biological weapons on allied cities because they knew the Allies controlled the skies and they were afraid of the Allied counter attack. I can only guess this would apply to radiological weapons as well

The Germans did not Use Chemical Weapons despite havin' stockpiled plenty of them (they continued Production throughout the War).
The Reason for this is disputed.
Some Historians claim that Hitler was misinformed about Allied capabilities to Counter-strike with Chemical weapons.
Others Claim that Hitler, who was wounded in a Gas-Attack in The Great War (aka WWI) back-frightened (?) from it.


Regarding Bacteriogical Weapons I only found that Hitler was bacteriophob (sp?).
