------------------------------
-- Also aired as "Nazi Megastructures" in NatGeo --
In the quest for world domination, the Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware and malevolent technology in history.
With brilliant, dark minds and a legion of slave labor at their disposal, the Nazis believed the path to ultimate victory was to out-build and out-engineer their enemies. To them, bigger definitely meant better, and better meant more lethal.
As Hitler's grip on Europe tightened, he ordered men like Wernher von Braun, Ferdinand Porsche and Alfried Krupp to build increasingly outlandish machines and structures to realize his master plan. Creating huge terror machines, hi-tech superguns and some of the original weapons of mass destruction to control a nation, conquer a continent and win the war.
This is World War II told from a new perspective. The series uncovers the engineering secrets of six iconic mega-structures, tells the stories of the evil geniuses that designed them and reveals how these structures sparked a technological revolution that changed warfare forever.

5) Jet Fighter Me 262
Explore the most technologically advanced plane of World War II, the Messerschmitt Me262, a fighter jet that inspired a revolution in aerial warfare.
The ME 262 from Messerschmitt was one of the most technically advanced aircraft during the Second World War. With its two new BMW jet engines, it triggered a revolution in air warfare. With the aircraft, built in hangars deep underground, the German Air Force wanted to regain the air superiority that was crucial to the war. But although it was considered one of Hitler's "miracle weapons", the development of the ME 262 in 1942 came too late to have any significant influence on the course of the war. Learn the remarkable story of an awe-inspiring aircraft, the subterranean bat-cave where it was built and the battle for air supremacy that decided the fate of the war.
