Would it have worked?

Nazis had some insane ideas, it would be cool see some of those things in action.
Autism is a hell of a weapon.
The Sonnenspiegel or Sun Gun was also a thing.

>"A group of German scientists at the German Army Artillery proving grounds at Hillersleben began to expand on Oberth's idea of creating a superweapon that could utilize the sun's energy. This so-called "sun gun" (Sonnengewehr) would be part of a space station 8,200 kilometres (5,100 mi) above Earth. The scientists calculated that a huge reflector, made of metallic sodium and with an area of 9 square kilometres (900 ha; 3.5 sq mi), could produce enough focused heat to make an ocean boil or burn a city. After being questioned by officers of the United States, the Germans claimed that the sun gun could be completed within 50 or 100 years.
>9sq km sun mirror
I love how balmy the nazi's were in terms of weapons development were, nothing was too great, kinda wish that some of these things had been made simply to see if it could be done.

I doubt that, and especially the ammunition weight and fueling concerns.
Neat design but it's redundant.

Short answer, no

Long answer, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE NOT IN A MILLION YEARS, NOT AGAINST ANY ENEMY WITH AIR SUPERIORITY, NOT AGAINST ANY ENEMY WITH SUPERIOR INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY, NOT AGAINST ANY MAJOR POWER THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH YOU DUMB FUCKING WEHRABOO!

Calm down Sadiq

The question was "would it work", not "would it turn the war" you numpty.

>gets hit by space junk

>not outfitting your giant orbital sun mirror with defensive tesla coils to blast any debris or enemys that comes close

Why would it?
Nothing else they made did

>doesn't get put into production
>soviet and american superheavy tanks built after it suffer the same fate
>70 years later
>would it have worked???
Obviously yes OP, no one bothered building one because it would be too unfair for the enemy

the reason americans and russians killed the superheavy lines was because HEAT became too efficient, which was rather long time after the war ended, OP is asking whetever it would've worked against WW2 era enemies

fact is, if they had won we would have had landships for sure

oh roads couldn't support them? No problem, they'd just build them 3 feet thick. Too thirsty? They'd be nuclear powered.

heck you haven't even touched the surface of what they were planning to build, crazier than ur wildest dreams

America would never have won a cold war against a Third Reich, that is saying, both powers developed nuclear bombs at the same time, Germany defeated the USSR and created a peace treaty with England- with England being the link to America

Even if it didn't come to war, German spies would have infiltrated USA and subverted it from within.

Hitler never aimed for world domination, but it would have been a natural end result anyway.

chances are, they never really lost everything, too many witnesses who seen german spacecraft, too many to ignore.

all I'm trying to say is
if you think ww2 is over, think again

What a shit thread then.

Wehraboo incarnate

>Too thirsty? They'd be nuclear powered.

Germany was no where near completing a working nuclear reactor and looking at captured tech after the war, they never would have being. Go back to playing wolfenstein.

no

Are they shooting Quebec in that picture

Seeing as they got a Maus to "work" just about then an e-100 could also be made to work. However, it's unlikely that it would be a particularly useful tank especially considering the German position at the time.

Look man, I love Nazi Autism as much as the next bloke, but the krauts couldn't even get the transmission right on the King Tiger, what makes you think this monstrosity would even be able to roll off the factory floor?

>Easy, just skip the transmission altogether and pull it like a chariot behind a team of smaller tanks

yes. they knew.

>Germany was no where near completing a working nuclear reactor
Dude, Germany was the first country ever to build one

Hahaha, no.

he program eventually expanded into three main efforts: theUranmaschine(nuclear reactor), uranium andheavy waterproduction, and uraniumisotope separation. Eventually it was assessed that nuclear fission would not contribute significantly to ending the war, and in January 1942, theHeereswaffenamtturned the program over to theReich Research Council(Reichsforschungsrat) while continuing to fund the program. The program was split up among nine major institutes where the directors dominated the research and set their own objectives. Subsequently, the number of scientists working on applied nuclear fission began to diminish, with many applying their talents to more pressing war-time demands

>Dude, Germany was the first country ever to build one

It didn't work, so they can't claim they built the first one. The Germans were never capable.

>America would never have won a cold war against a Third Reich

Considering they were worse with their economy than the fucking Soviets were, I seriously doubt it.

>German spies would have infiltrated USA and subverted it from within.

Their intelligence services were seriously lacking.

>Their intelligence services were seriously lacking.
winners propaganda, they got a whole bunch of soviet generals shot by stalin by some light innuendo

>The recent discovery of over 126,000 barrels of nuclear waste buried over 2000 feet in an abandoned salt mine near Hanover, Germany in 2011 has created further controversy surrounding the extent of the German atomic bomb program.

>winners propaganda, they got a whole bunch of soviet generals shot by stalin by some light innuendo

Meanwhile the Brits had a fantastic intelligence network in Germany itself and the Soviets had multiple sources inside the Manhattan project sending them technical documents. Also getting Stalin to execute or imprison officers isn't actually challenging, he didn't even trust rescued PoWs.

Brits, americans and soviets were all on winners side, any undiscovered pro-german spies would remain silent forever about their deeds

>Brits, americans and soviets were all on winners side, any undiscovered pro-german spies would remain silent forever about their deeds

This is just an assumption, and a completely fantastical one at that. In terms of their intelligence services the Germans were far less capable than the Soviets or British.

>This is just an assumption
A very good one, you can still be sentenced to death as a spy even after the war.. If you were on the losing side

Yet the Abwehr still never pulled off the kind of intelligence coups many of the other services had. Also assuming the presence of spies is one thing, assuming their effectiveness is another thing entirely.

The actual thing was built and completed under British command (minus the turret). Then they brought it to the UK where they tested it. So, I don't know if there are any records surviving how it drove and if. Unfortunately the dumbass Brits scrapped it.

now I don't know about you all, but you're seriously asleep if you think the story ended in 1945. It didn't start in 1939 either. This is cosmic.

even if what you said was true, it would just add more proof to the fact the Germans were the lesser evil. Look, I aint saying they dindunuffin, but if you do a thorough research of history, you will come to the same conclusions as I did. And if you look at whats to come for us, it wouldn't surprise me if more of y'll will conclude the same. Heck, you're gonna have to if you want to survive. Cause -they're- going to kill you all and there's going to be nowhere to flee to until you accept the reasons why.

Both of those are fake designs made decades after the war

here come the antifa ggots trying to ruin another thread

They were created in the early to mid 2000s by either the Frenchman Mr. Hubert Cance in the magazine 'Battailles & Blindes' (Trucks & Tanks) or a German model maker Mr. Sebastian Nast around the same time.

>it would just add more proof to the fact the Germans were the lesser evil.

The only thing it proves was that they were less competent in the political, economic, and military fields. It was also the German's who supported the Soviet Union economically and the pact they made with them forced the Allies to call off their plans against the Soviets.

Can't move goalposts that were already moved.

Socialist education everyone.

hey hey hey, I'm not a pinko, I just really fucking hate krauts, krauts are subhuman scum who do nothing but destroy europe. The nazis are the reason the damn commies got to control half of europe. POLAND was containing communism and then hitler FUCKED IT UP like a fucking tard

nazi weapons weren't even good, krauts can just go die

No, because like the Tiger it'd get shredded by Allied air superiority

Aircraft were actually a pretty unreliable means of destroying tanks but were very effective psychologically. Also he is correct, the technical issues involved in building super heavies along with improvements to ammunition pretty much saw the concept shelved.

remove honk

There was no space junk back then.
