It is well known that Wernher von Braun and his V2 missile was the foundation of the American Space program but that was not the only rocket that the germans were developing.
I could and can never appreciate weapons for destruction. I'm glad the Germans never proceeded with plans to build these rockets they had plans for. Whatever stopped them I am grateful!
The rocket bomber plan sounded unfeasible to me, or at least decades away from implementation. The ramjet project was ended by the war's end. I read somewhere that Germany sent plans and materials by U-boat to Japan late in the war so that they could create their own ramjet.
A related issue is why didn't Germany develop an A bomb. They had a program but abandoned it. It wasn't that German scientists weren't up to it. My belief is that it was seen to be impossible to create a fission bomb. That didn't stop the Americans who used the idea to create atomic hegemony which lasted 3 years until the SU tested theirs and the Cold War got locked in by mutually assured destruction.
Thank you for all you share brother. I personally believe that there are some high powered explosives we know nothing about but nuclear fision is one man will never crack or we would all be gone already. Fear is the most powerful weapon of all. Knowing the past is most important in my book thanks you for this information you shared that is new to me.
