I think as any war nears it conclusion the loosing side gets ever more desperate with its machinery, tactics and manpower.

Just think what could have happened if the V1 had been used more effectively, the Me 262 had been put in the right place at the right time and not been slowed down by a bomb load. Did you know the average age of a U-Boat Captain was in his early 20's and over two thirds of all crew were killed in action.

These subs are an amazing piece of machinery but would never have been developed had the tide of the war not been turning.

By the way, did you notice that Biber means Beaver in German?
