According to historical records, World War II occurred during the six years starting from 1 September 1939 and ending 2 September 1945. Almost all countries in the world war, including the two largest military power at the time, namely the Allied powers (Britain, France, USA) against the Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan).
Because of the length of the span of the war, it gives birth to a variety of unique ideas to defeat the enemy. Actually, these ideas could be considered the most bizarre, crazy and eccentric.
1. Missile Balloons Antarbenua
Invented by the Japanese in World War II in 1945. After a successful attack on Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the US intends to repeat the success. This time using a balloon missile or bomb balloons.
At that time Japan created a crazy idea by using a balloon containing the bomb. According to the plan, the balloons are filled with helium and bombs, of course, will fly across several continents and the Atlantic Ocean until finally landed on the American mainland and burned across the American mainland.
These balloons will be floating in the air by using a jet stream. A total of 9,000 balloon bombs launched to carry a payload of 15 kg bomb and it will explode once landed on the ground. The first bomb balloon-launched on November 3, 1944, these balloons take many months to get to America.
The problem: Since the bomb balloons are not equipped with a navigation system, then the bomb Balom not up to the Americans. Only one is known to land in the woods of Oregon. The US, and was found by residents in a state of burst.
The result: Not right on target, failed during the trip and most of the balloon crashed into the sea.
2. Plan Change Hitler Being Woman
This is an idea that most eccentric, weird and crazy that Hitler transform into a woman. This plan was made by the allies are aiming to win World War II and give a negative impression of Hitler in front of supporters and war to break the deadlock.
The plan was to smuggle estrogen into the food of the Fuhrer and Hitler is expected to become more feminine and less aggressive then gradually turn sex into a woman.
The tactic involves gardeners hired as a British spy who served mix of estrogen into the food served to Hitler. And of course with a very large fee.
Problem: Hormones are never mixed into food Hitler. The gardener was to throw it in a warehouse, and then he fled with the money.
The result: Plans to make Hitler as a woman failed miserably!
3. Carriers of Ice Beams
This is one of the mega projects the UK to make an aircraft carrier that is considered unlikely to happen, that the carrier is made of ice, known as Habbakuk project.
United ambitious project objectives to make warships parent of ice against Germany during World War II. Because metal prices are very expensive at the time, then came the idea is to save the cost of war.
Best British scientists funded by the British government to make a boat of ice, which does not melt as well as the resistance of the enemy's attack, came the idea of Geoffrey Pyke.
Pyke figure out how to create a carrier that does not melt, it was found a mixture of ice and debris wood saws. A mixture called 'pykrete' is shown to be robust, does not melt and is not destroyed by the bullet.
The problem: the ice beams during construction should be placed in a refrigerator is very large, as big as an aircraft carrier. Ice ship is planned measures 600 meters, 12 meters thick hull and includes 150 aircraft.
And materials to create a giant refrigerator is steel and aluminum are very many, that means the funds to make the refrigerator is greater than the carrier ice.
The result: Since this is an idea that could not be implemented, then abandoned the project, not forwarded, abandoned and failed!
4. Operation Big Buzz
Which is commonly referred to as Operation huge hum is eccentric idea further in military history. Military operations or by using animal or biological attacks is not new on the battlefield. And it also happened in 1955.
The United States plans to make weapons of mass destruction by using mosquito released in enemy territory in the hope of the enemy forces will be infected with yellow fever, so it will be easily overpowered.
The plan mosquitoes will be dropped from a plane from an altitude of 91 meters, and tested in the state of Georgia.
The problem: Mosquitoes are animals that are small, light and easily blown off. And at the time of testing, these mosquitoes spread precisely because of the wind.
Result: Failed. The operation actually attacking its own citizens.
5. Operation Dog antitank
During World War II, the German Panzer forces, especially tank is feared troops. German Panzer tanks are the strongest and difficult to beat.
Although attacked from the top, side, front, rear, tank Germany remains difficult to be penetrated and destroyed. Then came the idea to destroy it is through the bottom of the tank. And who has that idea is the Soviet military.
This eccentric idea of using dogs trained to carry a bomb strapped to his body (such as suicide bombings). The way it works is a dog trained to crawl under German tanks then when the trigger pin depressed by weight tank will ignite the detonator and German tanks burst.
This idea looks very perfect and easy to implement. Dogs that carry the bomb had been trained to recognize the German tanks that fueled diesel tanks like the Soviet Union. And when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, then the dog squad dilepaslah tank destroyer.
The problem: When on the battlefield, the dog squad does not recognize the German tanks. And unexpectedly, the antitank dogs instead turned toward the tanks belonged to the Soviet Union.
Result: Failed. Dog squad antitank actually even destroy tanks own master.
6. Missile Super V3 Hitler
Super cannon V3 is a great project that is quite eccentric Hitler during World War II. Hitler wanted a very large missile to destroy his enemies, then created an idea to create a super missile V3.
The missile is planned to bombard London and Luxembourg around the year 1944 to 1945. The missile will be placed in a booster rocket that is very long and formed like a millipede.
The length of the booster rocket is long nearing Pas de Calais region in northern France.
The problem: Because the booster rocket is very long then easily attract the attention of the enemy.
The result: Failed and bombarded by the enemy.
7. Personal Airstrip
This idea was made by the US Air Force in 1955 to combat service practicality. And still in prototype form means that has not been produced in large quantities and has never been tested in battle.
One of the prototypes ever made was Hiller VZ-1 Pawnee or personal airstrip. The runway was tested in Brooklyn.
Problem: The prototype was very noisy and eye catching means highly visible by anyone and could potentially be targeted by the enemy.
The result: Fail and the project was stopped.
