To be fair, some of these experiments the Luftwaffe did late-war where actually pretty far ahead of their time, but because of the war economy being completely fucked they never went beyond prototype-stage. But then, on the other hand, you also had tons of weird ass designs done by engineers who just wanted to make sure that they don't have to go fighting as long as they keep coming up with new Wunderwaffen - like the Focke Triebflügeljäger in picrel. I guess the basic idea went like this:
>*hits beerbong* Hey Hans?
>yes, Heinz?
>What if we take ze Düsentriebwerk and attach it directly to ze propeller?
>Why should we do zis?
>I think ze Fuhrer will really like it and think we are important
>That's true Heinz, he will think zis will bring ze Kriegswende!
I have a whole book about the weird stuff German engineers came up with just to avoid being conscripted, it's really interesting how easily they could milk that whole wonder weapon myth with all kinds of weird inventions.
