III Reich:i saladused

Tsitaat:Algselt postitas: Weizen
Tohutu suur allmaalaev koosnes mitmetest sektsioonidest pikkusega 6m, laiusega 6,8m ja kõrgusega 3,5m, kogupikkusega 400-st kuni 524 meetrini. Varustatud oli ta 14 elektrimootoriga, igaühel võimsust 20 000 hobujõudu. Kiirust arendas vee all 30 km/h ja pinnases 2 - 10 km/h. Meeskonnas oli 30 inimest. Relvastuses olid miinid, kuulipidujad, maaalused torpeedod (!), jms.


Küllaltki huvitavad faktid (või väited), aga äkki oskab auväärt zed selle kohta midagi täiendavalt rääkida...!?

Mis lisada...
Kõigepealt pean vabandama.
Mul pole kombeks meie eestikeelset foorumit risustada võõrkeelsete tekstidega. Aga praeguse ajanappuse tõttu teen üksiku erandi...

RITTER MIDGARD-SCHLANGE
(1934-1935)
by Rob Arndt

Inspired by the WW1 Austro-Hungarian trench diggers (pilt), Ritter Engineering sketched a colossal armored project that had it been constructed would have been the largest and longest armored vehicle in history - the mighty Midgard-Schlange.
The name Midgard-Schlange is derived from Norse/Germanic mythology: the Midgard Snake was a demonic monster which looped the whole earth with its giant length. Thor, the God of the thunder, was its sworn enemy and he often tried to kill it.
Thor finally succeeded in killing the snake in the God Dawn with his hammer. Ritter, fond of the Norse/German mythology promoted by the Nazi regime named his project after the mythological snake and began preparations for designing the armored beast.
The first plans of this project were made in the summer of 1934.
It was decided that the beast was to be a hybrid armored vehicle, which like a tank could drive; in addition, it would be able to tunnel like a mole underground and under water to a theoretical depth of 100 meters!!
The vehicle would be made from 77 individual cells, whereby each cell would be 6.8 meters wide, 3.5 meters high and 6 meters long.
These joined to form a queue of sections with an overall length of 524 meters!
At the front end a drilling head was to be mounted which would consist of 4 smaller drills of 1.5 meters diameter.
The drill would be driven by 9 engines providing 8,800 hp total.
Three side drills were also envisioned.
For progressive movement, the tracks were to be propelled by 14 engines providing an incredible 19,800 hp.
A speed of 30 km/h was calculated; underground, 10 km/h and under water, just 3 km/h.
For the underwater travel there were an additional 12 engines providing 3,000 hp together.
960 m3 of fuel would be carried.
On board there would be an electrical kitchen, a sleep area with 20 beds, 3 on-board workshops, several periscopes, 580 large pressurized air bottles and a large charge thrower.
As armament 1,000 mine charges of 250 kg explosive would be carried, another 100 smaller charges of 10 kg explosive as secondary armament, and 2 twin machine guns.
The whole vehicle would have had a loaded weight of 60,000 tons and a crew of 30 men!
Ritter planned for the Midgard Snake to tunnel under the fortifications of the Maginot Line and into hostile ports laying down 20 explosive charges.

All this sounds quite irrational, if not impossible, for the time period; so consequently, that is one of the many reasons why it was never built.
The principal reason lies, however, in the vast unsolvable technical problems with a vehicle of such immense size and proportions.
The Germans in the 1940's had more important projects to consider like developing an efficient engine with more than 1,000 hp for the "Maus" tank. Regardless, on February 28, 1935 the Midgard-Schlange plans were returned to Ritter Engineering, rejected as impractical.
The plans were not simply rejected as absurd, insane, or impossible- the request had been turned down due to lack of financial and material resources, and available manpower!
Had Hitler personally ordered the machine built, work would have started immediately and by 1939 it is possible that the monster would have breathed life!

Ja siin siis see tegelane kellelt inspireeriv nimi:

Jormungandr
(pilt)

Aka: Iormungandr, Midgardsormr, Midgard Serpent, and World Serpent.

Type: Worm

Origin: Norse. He is the son of Loki and Angur-boda.

Description: This serpent lives in the sea, and encircles the earth. He is so long that he has swallowed his own tail.

Myth: This serpent was one of Loki's children, and was thrown off of the Sacred Ash, Yggdrasil, by Odin when it was just a little baby.
However, this small serpent grew to encompass the world, and now the huge serpent twines around the earth, twisting and writhing.
This dragon-snake had many run-ins with the mighty Thor, and the two of them will face off during the final battle on earth called Ragnarok.
Thor managed to kill the monstrous serpent with his hammer, Moljnir but its last breath was a poisoned cloud which killed the God.

Köningsbergi Case.

Endisest Ida-Preisimaa pealinnast on leitud palju huvitavat.
Alates SS laboratoorium no. 13, Bellonzo Flugscheibest 1989 aastal, (leidsid liivakarjääris mängivad lapsed), tohututest fortifikatsioonisüsteemidest (vaata: http://tewton.narod.ru/fort/konigsberg.html
http://kenig.org/page.php?id=12
Väga hea pildimaterjal, mitmed fordid eraldi (ava FOTOPUTESHESTVIE) (Fort 1, 2, 2a, 3, 5, 7, 10)
http://kenig.org/blog/? ).
Sellest maaalusest saladuslikust maailmast Köningsbergis ning lähiümbruses on jutustatud palju legende.
Küll salajastest siiani toimivatest SS elektrijaamadest. Allmaatehastest, tunnelitest mis viivad kuni mereni ja kus arvatavalt kurseerivad SS:i allveelaevad ja palju muud...
Selge on, et tunneleid Köningsbergis rajati. Nii Köningsreich Prusslandi kui Keisririigi ning III Reichi ajal.
Samuti on huvipakkuvad Köningsber regioonis tihti toimuvad lokaalsed maavärinad. Esines neid nii 80-tel kui 90-tel.
Mis põhjusteks sellistel lokaalsetel värinatel pole siiani teada...
P.S.
Muidugi ka selline võimalus, et loodud mehhanism oli mõeldud kasutamiseks Antarktika ¹elfiliustiku all-sees tegutsemiseks.
Liustikujää on suhteliselt homogeenne keskkond ja seal uuristada selle riistapuuga suisa lust!
