Talk:Rocket U-boat

Rocket U-boat

Why Germany undertook yet another ambitious project at the end of the war, when it was clearly losing on all fronts is quite easily understood. Other than the apparent fact that Hitler had always been awed with “wonder weapons”, but the principal notion was to bring the war to American soil. It was a psychological war, where the Third Reich wanted to impress upon American citizens that it was not safe anywhere, even on their own soil. The V-2 would have been inaccurate, and with a mere handful landing on American cities, it would not even cause a dent in the Allies war capability, but it would certainly be a psychological victory.

As with the Dolittle Raid, the psychology of the "psychological weapon" was that of the planners, rather than the victims.

Ballistic missile submarines became practical when nuclear weapons were developed. With typical NAZI organization, Germany's uranium was split between two organizations, neither having a critical mass. (Other things seem uncertain about this aricle.) David R. Ingham 05:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Copyright Violation

The article was a close copy (including errors) of the article linked to.

In the 1950s a US magazine carried a story about the Soviets using the sub-towed V2 cannisters to attack the East Coast

I can't locate the magazine title or its publication date. Several color illustrations were made for and included in the article. Does anyone know of this article?

The magazine may have been Colliers, Look, Saturday Evening Post, or some other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.217.101 (talk) 09:16, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
