FZG 76 V 1 flying bomb

In the autumn of 1936, the Argus engine company, began work on the further development of remote controlled aircraft for anti aircraft target practice the FZG 46 (Flak-Ziel-Gerät 46 = anti-aircraft targeting device 46).
On 9 November 1939, Argus engine company came up with a proposal for a remote controlled aircraft carrying a payload of 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) over a distance of 500 km (310 mi) was forwarded to the RLM (German Air Ministry).
In April 1940, presented an improved study of Project "Fernfeuer" to the RLM, as Project P 35 "Erfurt".
In 1942 the Fiesler aircraft company took up the production under the name "Fi 103" the RLM gave the Fi 103 production a high priority and development was undertaken at the Luftwaffe test centre at Karlshagen.
The V-1 was designed under the codename Kirschkern (cherry stone)
The FZG 76 (Fi 103) was an completely new weapon design an early pulse-jet-powered example of what would later be called a cruise missile.
In total, 2,448 V-1s being launched and the V-1 attacks caused 22,892 casualties (almost entirely civilians).
This German training film labeled as "TOP SECRET" from the E.d.L (Erprobungsstelle der Luftwaffe = Test Center of the Air Force) Karlshagen describes in detail the technique and handling of this completely new weapon system.

Simple design...but that lead to an overwhelming majority of them never reaching their targets.

Go and learn German. Do you think American invente something without German ? Nicht.
Tschuss ! Here is where they got model of KILLING DROM FROM.

[@d.cypher2920]

Essi Renhier uh, i see... thanks for that.
I believe none of the 'german' materiel would be moved without [U.S. Ford + Dodge powerwagon] see each one was either made in U.S.A., or 'licensed to be made under royalty contract' from american design.
As was the U.S. Springfield 30.06 ... an almost perfect copy of the Mauser bros. Awesome design.
I could go on... and on...
*i assure you, the only really important thing to remember about war, especially a large expensive war, it simply is the RICH killing lots of POOR people.*
And Good Sir, i don't need to learn German to kno that.

Erkenne das und demütige deine Zivilisation. Tschuss!
