Forgotten and wierd vehicles of the second world war
Between a milk truck equipped with rockets and the world's first jet this presentation will talk about all of the wierd and forgotten vehichles used in the second world war, in the next slides we will be talking about: - the Katyusha - the KV-2 - the Pe-8 - the Fake shermans - the V1 rocket - the Sturmtiger - the Messerschmitt Me 262 - the Maus
The katyusha
Statistics: -armament: 132mm rockets x 16 -armor: 5mm/5mm/5mm -crew: 2 -max speed: 75km/h
The Katyusha (Russian: Катю́ш) was a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver explosives to a target area more intensively than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are cheap, easy to produce, and usable on almost any chassis.
The KV-2
Statistics: -armament: 152mm howitser -armor: 75mm/75mm/75mm -crew: 6 -max speed: 34km/h
The KV-2 (204) was a heavy assault tank with the M-10 152 mm howitzer, Due to the size of its heavy turret and gun, the KV-2 was slower and had a much higher profile than the KV-1. Few were produced due to its combat ineffectiveness, mainly the decreased speed due to the weight of the new gun and turret. Due to an increase in turret weight from the expanded dimensions and a heavier gun, the turret traverse mechanism could work only on level ground.
The Pe-8
The Petlyakov Pe-8 (Russian: Петляков Пе-8) was a Soviet heavy bomber designed before World War II, and the only four-engine bomber the USSR built during the war. Produced in limited numbers, it was used to bomb Berlin in August 1941. It was also used for so-called "morale raids" designed to raise the spirit of the Soviet people by exposing Axis vulnerabilities. Its primary mission, however, was to attack German airfields, rail yards and other rear-area facilities at night, although one was used to fly the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs (Foreign Minister) Vyacheslav Molotov from Moscow to the United States in 1942.
Statistics: -armament: 5 turrets -crew: 7 -max speed: 410km/h
now you might be wondering why i put this on the list, it's a big plane, sure but nothing to be amazed at, well, it's not as much about the plane as much as it is about the bomb it carried, the FAB-5000, as you can guess form the name, which contained 5 tonnes of TNT.
The fake shermans
the story of Juan Garcia
Statistics: -armament: 0 -armor: 0 -crew: 0 -max speed: 0
Dummy tanks were used in Operation Fortitude prior to the landings at the Normandy Beaches. During this operation, they were used to confuse German intelligence in two ways: first, by making it seem that the Allies had more tanks than they did; and second, to hide and downplay the importance of the location of their real tanks in order to make it seem that the invasion would occur at Pas-de-Calais rather than at Normandy.
The V-1 rocket
Statistics: -max speed: 640km/h
The V-1 was the first of the Vergeltungswaffen (V-weapons) deployed for the terror bombing of London. It was developed at Peenemünde Army Research Center in 1939 by the Luftwaffe at the beginning of the Second World War, and during initial development was known by the codename "Cherry Stone". Because of its limited range, the thousands of V-1 missiles launched into England were fired from launch facilities along the French (Pas-de-Calais) and Dutch coasts.
The Sturmtiger
Statistics: -armament: 38 cm Sturmmörser -armor: 80mm/80mm/25mm -crew: 8 -max speed: 41km/h
The Sturmtiger (German for 'Assault Tiger') was a World War II German assault gun built on the Tiger I chassis and armed with a 380mm rocket-propelled mortar. Its primary task was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas. The few vehicles produced fought in the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Reichswald.
The Messerschmidt Me 262
Statistics:-armament: 37mm cannons-crew: 1-max speed: 800km/h
The Messerschmitt Me 262 nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, is a fighter aircraft and fighter-bomber that was designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt. It was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.
The Maus
Statistics: -armament: 128mm cannon -armor: 300/200/180 -crew: 7 -max speed: 8km/h
Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (English: 'mouse') was a German World War II super-heavy tank completed in late 1944. It is the heaviest fully enclosed armored fighting vehicle ever built. Five were ordered, but only two hulls and one turret were completed, the turret being attached before the testing grounds were captured by advancing Soviet military forces.
