During the final years of WWII, Nazi Germany launched a secret weapons program to develop so-called Wunderwaffen, or “wonder weapons.” These included massive super tanks, early guided bombs like the Fritz X, and long-range bombers designed to strike as far as New York.
Decades later, historians and aviation experts revisit original blueprints, captured footage, and surviving hardware to test whether these advanced weapons were truly revolutionary or simply too late to change the outcome of the war.
From the Fritz X precision bomb to ambitious long-range strike aircraft, this documentary explores how close Nazi engineering came to reshaping modern warfare.

00:00 Fritz X Smart Bomb Mystery
06:12 Hitler's America Bomber Plan
13:05 How the Fritz X Was Guided by Radio
