am really tempted now to make that first tank, all i need is a matrorro KT and a load of bits n bobs (Y)
yes indeed that does look like an interesting build, the lower hull of the tank dont seem that hard but your right the turret does seem a bit of a challenge :S, but am very sure it can be made with the right bits :)

There is some evidence that they had developed, or were developing weapons, that were far in advance of anything that saw the light of day or that we were told about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun

The Americans utilised the expertise and he headed up all subsequent rocket development.

The book, The Reich of The Black Sun, explores the weird and the wondrous.

Modern day research continues:

As to what the real truth is, or was, we may never know.

One should never confuse the German people with the Nazi's. Two very different things. One is a race of people, the other was an 'ideal' borne out of spiritualism. The Vril Society to be precise. They could have sprung up anywhere, even the UK, and done the same.

Nothing wrong with speaking German, I wish I did! I am going there in month. My niece is an English teacher in Hamburg, and my daughter speaks it fluently as well. : )
