Don't recall the source right now, but somewhere read that is was the big reverse after Stalingrad that kicked-off the Wunderwaffen (Wonder Weapons) program:Other rare weapons
Panzerfaust 150 and 250.
Vampire night vision equipment
SdKfz251/17 through 23 versions and especially the Uhl (owl) with the night vision equipment
Panzer I Ausf F (twin MG heavy armored version)
Panzer I Ausf C (with the equally rare EW141 heavy machine gun)
Kummerlauf curved barrel design for the StG44
Sturmtiger
I could go on and on. There are literally thousands of designs
- No such program existed before 1943, but immediately following the loss of Paulus and The Sixth Army, all of that changed
- Personnel rosters everywhere were gathered and screened, and anybody with any kind of prior science/research background was pulled from the ranks (motorpools, trenches, field kitchens, anywhere, and everywhere), and given carte blanche with unlimited resources in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, and instructed to "make it happen"
- Because Hitler (and his Command) realized: it had all just hit the fan
