Tasha Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Found this article on Gizmodo about the Nazi Jet pack. Seems the thing allows jumps over 18ft and since the jet wasn't in constant use didn't require special Uniforms. http://gizmodo.com/5524604/real-bloody-flying-nazi-soldiers-with-jet-packs Tasha PS because the only thing better than Mad Science is Evil Nazi Mad Science!

Markdoc Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Re: Nazi's with Jet Packs Actually, the articles says jumps of 180 feet - which sounds much more impressive. You'd need good reflexes, though - the results of dropping 50 feet with all your combat gear plus a giant rocket on your back wouldn't be pretty. Anyway, just damn. How come the nazis get all the best toys? cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, in German, "himmel" can mean both "sky" and "heaven" and I suspect a closer translation to what was intended would be the even-cooler "heaven-stormer" - it's certainly how I read it when I saw the name. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexMundi Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Re: Nazi's with Jet Packs More like, Storming Heaven......We "Go into the Garage...." They "Into the garage they go...." or so I vaguely recall. My German has gotten vastly rusty in the last 15 years or so. About all I'm competent in nowadays speaking wise, is how to order more beer and ask for the check after dinner, and a sweltering barrage of epitaphs, but I tend to remember more of it when I'm surrounded by it. Haven't been back there in a decade or so, about overdue for a return visit methinks. ~Rex...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
