About This Quiz
Ready to join the fight for the greater good? You're the perfect secret weapon to conquer this quiz!
World War Two raged on for 6 years and a day, leaving over 80 million military and civilian deaths in its wake. Eventually, good triumphed over evil - but let's not forget that evil almost won, thanks to some wickedly advanced pieces of weaponry.
To top off all the firepower they had already built up, the Nazis went a step further and created the "Vengeance Weapons." These flying bombs, rockets and cannons exacted a heavy toll on all Allied troops and civilians who stood in their path. Better set your sights on this quiz if you can recall what each of these military monsters looked like!
As Germany began to lose ground in the final years of the war, it struggled to equip its troops and citizenry with whatever arms it could quickly and cheaply whip up. Make no mistake, however, many of these were still pretty formidable weapons. Remember that German "copy" of the STEN machine gun? We've got it and a few other prime examples in here - come check them out!
It might take an expert in the history of warfare to identify all of these WWII Axis weapons. So, it's time for you to step up to the challenge and give this quiz your best shot!

Which Nazi weapon is shown in this image?
Me 264 bomber
The Me 264 long-range strategic bomber was part of Germany's "Amerika Bomber" program intended to attack targets on the American east coast. It was designed and produced by the Messerschmitt corporation and was initially considered by the Luftwaffe (aerial branch of Nazi military) for use in the program. Three prototypes of the Me 264 were built before any further development was canceled in 1943.

The 7.5 cm Leichtgeschütz 40 recoilless gun was developed by Rheinmetall, an automotive and weapons manufacturer, in 1940. It was used to equip Luftwaffe paratroopers with a substantial yet air-droppable piece of artillery. The 7.5 cm Leichtgeschütz 40 was first put into action in Germany’s airborne invasion of the Greek island of Crete during the Battle of Crete in May – June, 1941.

The Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended the First World War, tried to restrict future development of weaponry by Germany. To get around this, the country moved some of its weapons projects, including development of the 8.8 cm Flak 18-36, to neighboring Sweden. This particular piece of artillery came about through collaboration between German and Swedish weapons manufacturers Krupp and Bofors.

The Solothurn S18-1000 20 mm anti-tank rifle is a variant of the Solothurn S-18/100, modified with a larger cartridge size and a higher muzzle velocity. These gave the S18-1000 the advantage of greater penetrating power but also the disadvantage of greater recoil, added to the fact that it was a heavy and cumbersome weapon.

The V-2 rocket was developed in 1944 by German scientists (among them Wernher von Braun - aerospace engineer and space architect). It is noted for being the first long-range, guided ballistic missile in the world, as well as the first manmade object to leave Earth’s atmosphere and travel into space (on June 20, 1944).

Only 7 of the Karl-Gerät self-propelled siege mortars were built, and to this date only one remains. Each of these immense machines weighed 124 tons and was over 36 feet long, 10 feet wide and 14 feet high. The Karl-Geräts were used in several battles including the Battle of the Bulge (Germany’s last attempt to launch a massive attack on the Western front) between December 1944 and January 1945.

This anti-aircraft cannon was both designed and manufactured by weapons maker Rheinmetall. It was used on board several German vessels including aircraft carriers, submarines, torpedo boats and the Bismarck-class battleships. Although aiming the 3.7 cm SK C/30 was relatively easy, it had the disadvantage of a very low rate of fire (just 30 rounds per minute) since rounds had to be loaded one at a time.

At the end of WWI, the Treaty of Versailles limited Germany’s right to stockpile the MP 18, but the weapon was still widely used by German forces during WWII.

One such development was the Sturer Emil (German for Stubborn Emil) self-propelled anti-tank gun. Only two Sturer Emil heavy tank destroyers were built – one was lost in battle and the other was captured by Soviet forces in January, 1943 at Stalingrad.

The Ho 229 was developed in 1944, late into WWII, and became the world’s first jet engine-powered flying wing. Creators of the Ho 229 also attempted to incorporate stealth technology into the aircraft’s design to lower the risk of it being detected by radar.

It was renowned for its short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities, as well as being able to “loiter” in the skies with the help of the slightest of headwinds. These attributes helped the “stork” to deliver in what was perhaps its most famous mission: the 1943 German rescue of Benito Mussolini after he was deposed as Italian dictator.

The letter “E” in E-boat stands for “enemy” in English but the boat’s German name is actually Schnellboot (fast boat) – abbreviated to S-Boot.

During WWII, there were approximately a dozen different classes of U-boats for Allied vessels and coastal regions to be (very) wary of.

When properly fired, the Panzerfaust proved to be more effective against tanks than the American bazooka and the English PIAT.
