This thought-provoking book examines the Nazi German plans to raid
and bomb New York and the eastern seabord in the event of a
successful invasion of the Soviet Union. The plans rested upon the
use of transoceanic aircraft, such as the six-engined Ju 390, Me
264 or Ta 400. The Third Reich was unable to produce these machines
in sufficient numbers, however, if the Soviet Union had been
conquered, these plans would have become a reality. With the
seizure of vital resources from the Soviet Union the Wehrmacht
would have had enough fuel and material to mass-produce giant
bomber aircraft: it was a near-run thing. The collapse of the
Wehrmacht infrastructure and the premature end of the Thousand Year
Reich ensured that plans for long-range remote-controlled missiles
never got past the drawing board. This fascinating, thoroughly
researched study offers valuable insights into how Germany
developed new weapons and shows why the attempts to develop long
range bombers were frustrated until they were terminated by the end
of hostilities. Includes more than a hundred rarely seen
photographs and original plans.
