Fliegerfaust "Pilot Fist" or "Plane Fist" / Luftfaust "Air Fist" – the first man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) anti-aircraft weapons system. Neufeld, Michael (13 April 2020).

Brian Dunning (5 June 2018). Conspiracies Declassified: The Skeptoid Guide to the Truth Behind the Theories. Adams Media. ISBN 978-1-5072-0700-0. Heinkel He 343 – a planned four engined jet bomber based on and marginally enlarged from the Arado Ar 234's general design. mm Reșița Model 1943 – an anti-tank gun with a muzzle velocity of over 1km/second which could also elevate enough to double as a field gun, reported to have outperformed its Western, German and Soviet counterparts to become arguably the most versatile gun in its class during World War II (at least 375 produced). [5] H-class battleship – a series of proposals for battleships surpassing both the United States Navy's Montana-class battleships and the Imperial Japanese Navy's Yamato-class battleships in armament, culminating in the H-44, a 140,000 ton battleship with eight 20 inch guns. Two H39-class hulls only laid down; scrapped on slipways. At the end of the movie, we read these words on the screen: "Dedicated to the soldiers and partisans of WWII who saved humanity from its greatest threat."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] Heinkel He 111Z – a five engined Zwilling (twin)-fuselage aircraft created by combining two He 111s and designed to tow large gliders. G10N Fugaku – a planned Japanese ultra-long range bomber comparable in size with the American B-36 Peacemaker developed as a part of Project Z. 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.

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.

Design A150-class battleship (also known as the “Super Yamato-class battleship”) – a successor to the Yamato with added features. Merkel, Reiner (2010). Hans Kammler – Manager des Todes. Frankfurt am Main: August von Goethe Literaturverlag. ISBN 978-3-8372-0817-7.

Heinkel He 274 – a high altitude heavy bomber with four in-line engines with a range of 3,440km, two completed by France after the war. I-400-class submarine ( 伊四百型潜水艦, I-yon-hyaku-gata sensuikan) – the largest submarines of World War II and remained the largest ever built until the construction of ballistic missile submarines in the 1960s.

4. Horten Ho 229

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. I (1942) – a planned 56,500 ton aircraft carrier, converted from a transport; cancelled before work started. Type XXI U-boat " Elektroboot" (Electric boat) – the first U-boat designed to operate completely submerged, 118 were built but only 4 were completed. We get to see photos of the real Leonid Berenshtein at the end of the film. Sadly, he passed away in 2019, shortly before this movie was made. What a gift that his descendants will get to learn about all of the brave things he did to fight against the Nazi army.

Before the final rolling credits, we get to see pictures of the real people in the story and learn about what happened to them after the war.Tas – a local attempt to replicate the heavy Panther or the "Tiger 2" tank (2 incomplete prototypes produced, including 1 complete hull).

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. 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.
