    Were the Nazi's a bit obsessed with creating innovative but unrealistic, resource heavy weapons?

      This one was far more realistic than the V1 and V2 weapons and was considered for satellites in the space race due to how much more efficient this would be in putting something in orbit.
      The main issue is that this is only good for throwing shells, not fragile satellites

    As to the 50 degree angle; before ww2, man named Townsend Whelen (and I am sure many others through history) did extensive testing of rifles and other guns, and found the the greatest projectile range was yielded by a bore angle of approximately 45 degrees. The man wrote a good number of books on his findings and experiments, and they are very good information to read.
    Back to the point - that 50 degree bore angle was very likely the calculated "best angle" to maximize range of the guns.

      That's a gross exaggeration. The V2 carried a FAR larger payload - 2,200 lbs vs 55. And this author also exaggerates how quickly this gun could have been fired. It's arguable that this weapon would have been better for the British than the V2.

      @ so did you watch the entire video or did you just not listen? The author stated clearly that the Germans over exaggerated the rate of fire. I also wasn’t necessarily specifically talking about the annihilation of Great Britain from this weapon. I more meant that it would be cool to see shot. Not aimed at a city just a big gun that looks fun to shoot. It would’ve been far cheaper to shoot than a V2 rocket and arguably more accurate, assuming loaded with the right amount of propellant. With the V2 depending what sources you use between 25 and 50% of all rockets launched either debated prematurely, didn’t detonate at all, or completely missed its target altogether. By the way, they’re only able to produce 3500 Ish v2s. Exorbitantly expensive and incredibly difficult to produce compared to a few shovels, a giant barrel, a bunch of gunpowder, and a big metal stick. I would recommend watching the entire video before you go into the comments and decide to be a dick. merry Christmas.

      Yes, this concept, the railgun, had been known for ages prior to 1943. Both Russian and French scientists had toyed with the concept in the late 1800’s, in 1903 the Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland (today known for discovering how auroras work and a way to make fertilizer from air and limestone using electric plasma) attempted to construct a miniature railgun at Oscarsborg naval fortress in Norway to sink enemy battleships (it failed and they instead installed a torpedo battery which famously sank the battlecruiser _Blücher_ in WW2), and during WW1 a number of scientists attempted to make railguns to destroy enemy trenches. All the experiments failed because of the enormous energy requirements and the huge magnetic forces involved ripping apart any mechanical triggers. Railguns have been realized in the modern period, but only on ships equipped with nuclear reactors for power and computers for managing the firing without moving parts. They will likely never be significant in warfare as you can achieve almost the same efficiency at the fraction of a cost using a missile.

      Almost isn't the same. Missiles can be intercepted or diverted with equipment far cheaper than the missiles themselves and their only getting better. Eventually there will come a point where the amount of missiles needed to overwhelm point defense systems costs more than the ship they're sinking.
      Kinetic projectiles on the other hand can't be intercepted or diverted nearly as easily. As the technology of superconductors and power generation advances railguns will likely surpass missiles as the primary antiship weapon for larger vessels simply because they bipass electronic warfare.

    The biggest problem with these guns was how easy they were to destroy from the air. To use them for a long time, you’d need total control of the skies, which Nazi Germany couldn’t achieve against the RAF. Projects like these guns and the V2 rockets ate up a ton of resources that could’ve been better spent on building regular planes, which would’ve been a bigger threat to the Allies. In the end, these weapons didn’t deliver and were easier to take out.
    Another major issue for the Axis was their fuel supply. If the Allies had focused more on bombing anything tied to fuel production, the war might have ended faster.

    There was a V3 weapons range near where I live. Right next to the small town of Zalesie, Poland. 53.90039, 14.43761 Here the weapon was tested on a smaller-scale structure. No one had accelerated missiles to such speeds before. For the first time, the designers encountered the problems of hypersonic speeds. Today, only the concrete foundations in the hillside remain. Allegedly, right after the war, all the metal elements were stolen, thinking it was some kind of pipeline.

    6:44 You must have forgotten about the pressure of the lit fuel rod as it filled the empty gun chamber behind the round. As the fuel rods burned, the pressure filled all the empty space. From the first chamber to the 32nd chamber, the auxiliary fuel pressure would need to fill more and more space, thus making the additional propellant less and less effective. Hence, the proposed speed for the projectile would have never reached its imagined goal.
    If the gun designers had thought about the first fired auxiliary chambers would still be high enough pressure to keep the second auxiliary chamber's initial pressure aimed towards the projectile, they needed to realize the gas compression of the lengthening barrel as the projectile sped further up the barrel disappeared as the lower auxiliary chambers burned their fuel rods.

    There's another huge problem behind this design as a modern howitzer barrel burns out after a max of 2500 rounds - if that gun can fire only 200 rounds a day per barrel then it won't even be able to fire for two weeks before they needed to replace those huge barrels.
    Another issue is that of cleaning the main barrel, although I'm sure they had some insane idea on how to do so.

    In the autumn of 1943, internal ballistic tests began on a first shortened test model at the I-Platz in Hillersleben. From various statements by contemporary witnesses and the sparse material that has been passed down, it can be assumed that a test tube about 30 metres long, made up of 6 connecting tubes and a base piece of the 15 cm s.F.H. 18, was installed here. The test variant did not yet have continuous T-beam traverses and side ignition chambers arranged at right angles to the main tube. The base piece of the 15 cm Kanone 18 had a cross-wedge breech with electrical firing. The side chambers were fitted with screw caps. Ranges of up to 8000 metres were achieved with this device.
    This v-weapon was tested 5km from my hometown. At the “Heeresversuchsstelle Hillersleben”. The weapon also known as “Tausendfüßler” or “Fleißiges Lieschen”.
    My grandfather learned to be a gunsmith at the firing range from 1939-42 in the artillery workshop there.
