MRC (Medical Council Resaech) Body Armor - In April 1942, the military council gives the go-ahead for standardizing personal protective equipment and beginning their mass production with a forecast of 3.5 million. Eventually, 200,000 sets of Briggs Bodies Motors and Harrison & Bros Howsons were produced by 1944, but only 79,000 were actually used and distributed among the army (3,100 for the Canadian Armed Forces, 6,000 for the paratroopers, for the SAS 400, for the Polish paratroopers 2500 ) And the Royal Air Force.

Henschel Hs 132. Intended as the successor to the Ju 87 Stuka.
The unorthodox design featured a top-mounted BMW 003 jet engine (identical in terms of make and position to the powerplant used by the Heinkel He 162) and the pilot in a prone position to reduce the effect of g-forces during maneuvering. The aircraft was designed to withstand 12 g during pullout. The basic A model carried one 500 kg (1,100 lb) bomb; it had no other armament. Several other versions of the basic airframe were proposed as well. The Hs 132B used the Junkers Jumo 004 engine in place of the BMW 003, and added two 20 mm (0.79 in) MG 151/20 cannons. The HS 132C was a more extensively modified version intended for bomber interception, featuring the larger Heinkel HeS 011 engine, two 20 mm (0.79 in) 151/20s and two 30 mm (1.2 in) MK 103 or MK 108 cannons. The HeS 011, intended to power a wide variety of new and existing Luftwaffe aircraft (an example of the latter being the proposed D and P series of the Arado Ar 234 jet bomber), was still in the pre-production phase when the war ended. It was hoped that by the time the HS 132B became available, the Panzerblitz anti-tank missile would be in production and available for use. The Hs 132D included a new wing of increased span. A contract for six prototypes was approved in May 1944, and construction was begun in March 1945. Hs 132V1 was scheduled to have its first flight in June 1945, but the completed wings and fuselage were never mated, and Russian forces captured the intact fuselage in May 1945.(780 km/h at 6,000 m (700 km/h with bomb)) (485 mph at 19,685 ft (435 mph with bomb))

Man, had von Braun and Einstein not switched sides, and the war dragged on for 2 more years, we would not be having this conversation right now for sure

Rommel might be romanticised according to Wauren, but he was a damn good bloke
