The Flugboot, the flying boat of the Nazis, there was only one, that's why we've never heard of it


German sources, based in part on the testimony of nearby inhabitants and Blohm & Voss employees, claim that the BV 238 V1 was discovered by the RAF between 23 April and 26 April 1945

The Allies were reportedly concerned that Adolf Hitler could use it to escape to South America, and so an attack followed shortly afterwards, and on May 4th they staffed it and sank it
