Nazis develop/mass produce Wunderwaffes early, not destroyed/captured or War is longer in Nazi Favor

Ah, the Walther turbine. A most interesting design but the technology of the day simply wasn't up to the task, not to mention severe wartime pressures. Only now are AIP systems mature enough to invest in.

One has to wonder just how Germany could manufacture and transport the vast quantities of Hydrogen Peroxide needed to power these subs given the chaos at the time...
 
Note RN Nicknames for their experimental HOOH boats HMS Excalibur and HMS Explorer, Excruiator and Exploder. They had better metallurgy, too.

The super hydrogen peroxide fuel was supposed to be mounted in plastic bags suspended in sea water. I understand the RN didn't do that. Do you know if this is true?
 
My understanding was that the High-test Peroxide was in vented bins (had to vent or explosive vapors formed). God knows what would happen in a depth charge attack...

The Soviet "Quebec" class had many mishaps. The US X-1 wasn't known for reliability either. Pretty much everybody gave up with HTP at that point...
 
When Junkers resisted licensing agreements in the mid 1930s ,the Nazi just forcibly seized the company and were able to build thousands and thousands of JU-88 as well as Stuka dive-bombers and Jumo jet engines through the war, making it the backbone of the LW. Flettner's helicopter was ready in 1940 with the FL-265 and Admiral Raeder had already placed an order in 1938 to develop ASW scouts for the fleet. There was nothing in the way except funding priorities.

I'll disagree. Ju 88s were entirely conventional designs of proven feasibility when they were built in series and licensed.

yes and left to there own devices , Junkers would not have licenced the design thus reducing numbers by order of magnitude
