Here are the top five interesting facts about World War Two. First, Germany still has the title of the world’s heaviest tank. The German military approved a massive 188-ton tank design during the war’s final months. This tank had many problems including its transmission, engine, weight, and fuel capacity. One reason for the weight was that many bridges could not hold their weight and would most likely break. This tank is still around and can now be found in the Russian Tank Museum at Kubinka. Second, the Germans were the first to use helicopters and were able to develop the first functioning helicopter. They were used for military use in 1935, created by Heinkel. The aircraft was also used for medical, rescue, cargo, and recon. Third, after invading Austria, the Germans utilized Austrian tank hulls to make the Jag Panzer 38(t) or what the Austrians called, the Heinkel. This tank was a Frankenstein tank mixed with the tank hull, and a 75-pak cannon slammed into the hull. It was an early war vehicle, and the dit was decent then. It also had an RC-controlled mg 34 on top of it for anti-infantry usage.
The fourth fact about World War Two is that the Germans were the first to make fully operational jet fighters and used them for about a year before the war ended. These fast-moving aircraft were ahead of their time but were made with cheap materials, giving them short lifespans. If the plane was used for more than four hours, the engines could fail in mid-air. The fifth fact would be America using its Sherman series tanks as the most modified tank in the war. This tank could tank many roles like tow, engineering, tank destroyer, troop carrier, and artillery these are half of the uses it had during the war. Most of these models are still in use as non-military vehicles besides a few countries using it. These facts paved the way for how avionics, warfare, and tactics were developed only after years apart and how fast the human mind can think.
