Hitler's Plan to Atom Bomb New York

Sanger's  Silverbird (Silbervogel) Amerika Bomber


Today on Far Future Horizons we present - Hitler's Plan to Atom Bomb New York.





In 1944 in the final months of the Second World War, the Nazi top brass believed that a rudimentary nuclear weapon might soon be within their scientists' grasp.




Hitler in a desperate bid to turn the tide of war, devised a secret plan for an aircraft that would usher in the age of global terrorism -- the 'Amerika Bomber'. This would deliver the hoped-for 'wonder weapon' directly on to the biggest target of them all: New York City.
