    The Germans did have kamikaze attacks. They called them something else, and I can't for the life of me remember what.

    EDIT: Selbstopfereinsatz.

    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.

    I looked it up on Wikipedia.

    I'm surprised that they even had 35 planes to use in that attack.
