Real Bloody Flying Nazi Soldiers With Jet Packs

There’s probably only one thing more terrifying than Nazi soldiers: Nazi soldiers with jet packs—and Nazi UFOs piloted by nefarious hamsters. The difference is that, while the UFOs never existed, the Nazi jet pack did: Behold, the Himmelstürmer. https://gizmodo.com/inside-a-nazi-ufo-5515450 The Himmelstürmer—or Skystormer—used a pulse jet engine, like the one that powered the Fieseler Fi 103…
