I have encountered little info about the foo fighters.
The information seems to suggest it was just an annoyance thing,
rather than a weapon of any type.
We don't know the full story about Nazi developments with such
craft - that they did develop practical flying saucers?
Of the Adamski design...
Why there weren't any substantial sightings of these in use during
WWII? Is anyone's guess whether they were working then or not?

Well there are a lot of myths about Nazi Germany. They became more advanced
in some things as a result of what we had. The British had Radar in 1939 and
used it against the Luftwaffe, they lost so many air crews they had to
develop pilotless planes i.e flying bombs because they couldn't afford to
lose any more pilots. The reason they developed those things was because
they were already losing, these were acts of desperation of a regime on a
suicide mission led by a total mad man.

I don't know too much about the machinations within Nazi Germany -
exactly how the technology got to be approved, etc etc...

One can only guess, that to bring any project towards fruitation,
required a lot of time and development. Nothing was ever short term?
How could that be???
It was only the inefficiency of the Hitler system, that the
technology fell short - and to not blame the scientists and engineers
involved.
I don't know my Nazi WWII history that well - for them to have working
Buzz bombs and V-1 rockets, is nothing short of amazing.
As too their jet fighter development, which apparently was hampered,
only because Hitler wanted them converted into bombers, which they were
never designed in mind for...

Similarly with the Russians - that idiot Stalin maltreated his
scientists with maniac rule. Both the Russian and German scientists
are to be credited with being innovative and efficient, under the
conditions with which they had to work...

I guess we don't know the details and story about them, because
there are secrets still kept about them... where they went to?
After the war? How they kept on developing what they did, during the
war, they carried on afterwards? ...
