Fritz X – an unpowered air-launched, MCLOS-guided anti-ship missile using the FuG 203/230 Kehl-Straßurg control system, the pioneering wartime example of a gravity-type PGM, used from September 1943 through 1944.

Panzer VII " Löwe" (Lion) –A planned super-heavy tank, weighing 90 tonnes and armed with a 105mm cannon; cancelled in March 1942 in favor of the Panzer VIII Maus. In the German language, the term Wunderwaffe generally refers to a universal solution which solves all problems related to a particular issue, mostly used ironically for its illusionary nature. Heinkel He 343 – a planned four engined jet bomber based on and marginally enlarged from the Arado Ar 234's general design. Mark Axworthy, London: Arms and Armour, 1995, Third Axis, Fourth Ally: Romanian Armed Forces in the European War, 1941–1945, pp. 228–235This guided anti-ship glide munition (see main image at the top) was one of Hitler’s most secret bombs. And it’s not hard to see why. Not only was it the first precision-guided bomb to ever be deployed in combat, but on 9 September 1943 it also became the first such bomb to sink a ship in combat – the Italian battleship Roma. Cook's publication introduced the topic in English without critically discussing the subject. [5] More recently, historian Eric Kurlander has discussed the topic in his 2017 book on Nazi esotericism Hitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich. According to reviewer Julian Strube, Kurlander "cites from the reservoir of post-war conspiracy theories" and "heavily relies on sensationalist accounts...mixing up contemporary sources with post-war sensationalist literature, half-truths, and fictitious accounts". [6] A6 – planned version of the A5 with different propellants; may have also been a proposal for a manned reconnaissance version of the A4b/A9. Brian Dunning (5 June 2018).

Witkowski postulated Xerum 525 was likely an irradiated form of mercury used in the creation of a form of plasma that was intended as a weapon and/or propulsion system, and which may have been capable of distorting spacetime. The Nazis were famous for their development and design of innovative weapons, including their revolutionary Wunderwaffen (Miracle Weapons). Although some of the Nazis’ weapon designs were undoubtedly far-fetched and impractical – such as the Panzer 1000, a monster tank weighing 1,000 tonnes – others were highly sophisticated and way ahead of their time – and the competition. Kugelpanzer (ball tank)-An prototype spherical reconnaissance/cable-laying tank with a mysterious history. Sent to Japan and captured by the Soviets in 1945. Currently on display at the Kubinka Tank Museum. Flakpanzer IV " Kugelblitz" (Ball Lightning) –A Panzer IV-based self-propelled anti-aircraft gun; five prototypes built.

G5N Shinzan – a prototype bomber developed as a part of Project Z, the Japanese counterpart of Amerikabomber project. Junkers Ju 390 – an Amerikabomber candidate with six radial engines with a range of 9,700km, two airworthy prototypes built and flown. Design A150-class battleship (also known as the “Super Yamato-class battleship”) – a successor to the Yamato with added features.

I (1942) – a planned 56,500 ton aircraft carrier, converted from a transport; cancelled before work started. Heinkel He 162 Spatz – Winner of the Volksjäger (People's Fighter) design competition for a single engined turbojet fighter. Messerschmitt Me 264 – an Amerikabomber candidate with four inline or radial engines and a range of 15,000km, three airworthy prototypes built and flown. Ruhrstahl X-4 – a wire-guided liquid-fueled air-to-air missile intended to be usable with the Ta 183. Junkers Ju 322 " Mammut" (Mammoth) – a flying wing heavy transport glider, the losing competitor to the winning Me 321 Gigant giant cargo/personnel glider.

Type XVIII U-boat – a U-boat designed to use air-independent propulsion; several were under construction when the war ended. As the war situation worsened for Germany from 1942, claims about the development of revolutionary new weapons which could turn the tide became an increasingly prominent part of the propaganda directed at Germans by their government. [2] In reality, the advanced weapons under development generally required lengthy periods of design work and testing, and there was no realistic prospect of the German military being able to field them before the end of the war. When some advanced designs, such as the Panther tank and Type XXI submarine, were rushed into production, their performance proved disappointing to the German military and leadership due to inadequate pre-production testing or poorly planned construction processes. [3] Historian Michael J. Neufeld has noted that "the net result of all these weapons, deployed or otherwise, was that the Reich wasted a lot of money and technical expertise (and killed a lot of forced and slave laborers) in developing and producing exotic devices that yielded little or no tactical and strategic advantage". [4] However, a few weapons proved to be successful and have had a large influence in post-war designs.
