The utterly failed attempt to build a tracked vehicle that could jump via the use of rockets.
There was apparently a similar version on a Valentine tank, though I haven't found any images of it.
The Great Panjandrum, which was a device intended to summon the devil to kill Germans
Instead it just chased after the nearest person until it ran out of rockets or they were pancaked.
>>30577
It w... what?
>>31045
It was actually a device meant to breach the Atlantic wall. Imagine two Catherine Wheels tied together with a ton of explosives between.
It was a complete failure as the rockets all burnt a slightly different rates/power, so it would never travel in a straight line
During what was meant to be a secret wartime test, where several hundred locals turned up somehow it ended up flying towards a crowd of military observers before falling on it's side flailing wildly.
>>31223
christ - was it commisioned to Amce?
>>31274
Naa, after the incident with it almost killing the observers it was canned
Sidetracking, the group behind it, The Department of Miscellaneous Weapons Development made tons of useless shit in the war, it's well worth looking up. Some of it actually worked too
Another worthy mention of there's was a project to hide bodies of water from aircraft using soot. It largely failed as the moving water washed away the soot, but on the few occasions it did work from the ground the soot covered water looked like tarmac, causing some fun for those who drove into it.

That's why that thing was so huge. They had to make room for the ducts to connect with the engine.
Might as well post some as well
>>35038

Polish fighter. One of the PZL gull-wings.
Funny enough - they were considered some of the best fighters in the world when they entered service in the early 30's.

Well considering Slavs were on Hitler's extermination list they weren't going to be happy for long.
>>42208
Because no one cares about Latvia?
>>41768

story behind? did the kamikaze hit it? that must be a hell of an armor
>>42235
>balts
>slavs
they are nords
>>42333
balts are balts
>>42277
A proper hit from a Kamikaze attack would have at least made a bigger scorch mark, they loaded the Kamikaze planes up with explosives before flying them into ships so there should have been marks from an explosion at least, most likely either simply a shot down plane, or the Kamikaze ricocheted off the surface of the sea and lost its under slung payload prior to impact.
>>36905
Those are Yak-9s. The Yak 3 didn't have the oil cooler under the nose like that. They also had a different canopy.
>>42641
Ah, I'm sorry. Will pay more attention.
>>42499
That's what I'm thinking too. Although it could have been a direct hit. They did hit the belt armor, which can be pretty thick.
>>42721
Belt on the County Class was 3.5" thick, so not all that much
>>42841
Not too thick at all. Yeah, probably lost the bomb in the water or by some other way before hitting the ship.
>>34705
Nice filename desu
>>42926
Ship log states:
>Under KAMIKAZE attacks during which two aircraft were destroyed. Sustained slight structural damage above waterline by the wreckage of a Japanese aircraft.
Also:
>On 26 July 1945 her Task Force was attacked by two Aichi D3A “Val” dive-bombers acting as “Kamikaze” suicide weapons. One was shot down by escort carrier HMS Ameer and the second by Sussex. However, this latter one bounced on the surface of the sea and impacted the cruiser's hull above the waterline, causing a 2½ metre dent.
