The Lyrics

It is claimed that the Nazi V-Weapons programs cost as much as the Manhatten Project and although the Germans pushed the limits of 1940s technology the weapons were strategic failures and only benefitted the conquering Allies and Soviets postwar with rocket development and spaceflight. It is claimed also that had they not built those weapons Germany could have purchased 48,000 Mk.IV tanks, or 50-60,000 piston fighters (depending on type), or tens of thounds of jet fighters, even hundreds of thousands of lesser rockets and missiles!!! Anyone that wants to read about Speer's frustration with duplication of effort, wasted RM on bad projects, and the SS refusal to work with him should read his book "Infiltration" (and yes, there is a note about the disc craft in there)!!!
Wasted Reichsmarks on you
over time

Vergeltungswaffen 1 & 2
Techno breakthroughs
No strategic use

Hitler demanded it
Bombing raids were down
The rockets were handy
Scare tactics for revenge soon proved sound

[Although many V-1s were shot-down]

Wasted Reichsmarks on you
During wartime
‘Til ‘45

Was no use
Was no use
Was no use
Lost tank and plane building
To fight Red scare
Upgrade West holdings
Cities smoldering

[Germans shouldering]

Spending spree
Wasted Reichsmarks on you
During wartime
(Equaled Manhatten Project fees)

[Without A-Bomb delivery]

When one thinks of Nazi weapons, the monetary cost seldom comes to mind. Interesting to see how many proven weapons they could have fielded if they hadn't pursued these wild projects.

For the price of ONE 80cm Gustav cannon ($7 million RM), the Nazis could have had 21 King Tigers exchanging 1500 tons for 1470 tons!!!
