German Kamikazi pilots

[tony draper]

There was a pretty good documentry on discovery this afternoon about the German V weapons.
I was aware that V1's had been modified for manned flight, I had read that that German lady test pilot who's name escapes me had flown one.
The program stated that 15,00 people had volunteered to fly suicide missions in the man rated V1s, but it was just to much even for Adolf, and the plan was scrapped.
Thats the first time I had heard of that.
A very good documentry, I recomend it, showed the german launch crews setting up and firing a V2 from a street in Amsterdam I think it was.
