Heh. Closest the Germans came were piloted V2s, used to ascertain the aerodynamic properties of that vehicle. The Americans came in, overran the testing grounds, and came to their own conclusions.
The Germans did have kamikaze attacks. They called them something else, and I can't for the life of me remember what.
You're kidding me. I knew that a plan to attack Allied ships with piloted V-1s floated around, but nobody took that seriously.
They were reluctant to use them, but they had a squadron devoted to it. They were used mostly in the Battle for Berlin to take out bridges the Soviets had captured.

Yeah.
I looked it up on Wikipedia.
I'm surprised that they even had 35 planes to use in that attack.
