A very odd living room indeed! Looks like a party to me!
I've read info before on the Hochdruckpumpe. Seems like another german weapon idea that was, well... an interesting, if futile, idea. Eevn if the gun had become operational, I can't imagine it would really have been worthwhile. Accuracy could not have been good at all... and the size of the shell appears not too much larger than a 15cm arty shell. Not entirely worthwhile!
Erich, I'm slightly confused- which of the weapons are you referring to? The ones that were actually used? I can't quite match up the weapon names you use with Kai's description!

Some sources have suggested that several of the trial missiles were actually deployed against Allied aircraft. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.

This is one of the elements of the german "super-weapons" that has always intrigued me. Especially later in the war, german records seem to be spotty/incomplete. SO I wonder to what extents weapons like this were used? And what was their effect?
Along this line, we could return again to Dora, the german 80cm gun. On this one, in some of our previous threads, there have even been questions raised as to wether or not there were one or two of these monsters. And action histories for most of these weapons seem to be incomplete at best. Intriguing! (sp?)
Anyone else have any info?
I guess some of this would almost be under the What-If area, since we will probably not ever know for sure most of the info on these weapons!
