The Lyrics

The Draeger-Werke, a German diving suit builder, built a full pressure suit of laminated silk and rubber in 1935. However under pressure the ballooning soft suit pressed the visor painfully against the pilot's forehead. The firm's engineers Tietze and H Ide then experimented with hard suit designs with ball joints. By 1942 these began to resemble similar suits developed by NASA in the last quarter of the 20th Century. Suit pressures of 0.75 bar were achieved without 'sacrificing mobility', but the suits were too heavy (at least for the intended 1-G use!). By the end of the war suits were developed with separate oxygen breathing and suit gas systems. Aside from speculation the ultimate objective was use in actual spacecraft (such as von Braun's manned A4b V-2 derivative), the suits were believed to be intended for use by pilots of the Horten Ho IX flying wing bomber. Draeger continued after the war with various anesthetic-delivery and breathing systems, turning again to aviation and space pressure systems. They participated in subsystems for the cancelled ESA-2000 space suit. (~Astronautix.com) Note: German disc craft Third Reich designs were built in the '30s-45, and there were also spacecraft designs from EMW (A-4b, A-6, A-9) as well as the Saenger Silbervogel (Silverbird) Antipodal Bomber research still going on in Lofer, Austria in 1945. The Ho-IX pilot flew with a Draeger suit. Von Braun designed his own suits but by '45 only Draeger had made the first real spacesuit which was captured by the USSR and developed further there for their Cosmonauts. Amazingly, the term Raumjaeger (lit- Space Hunter) has been found in secret documents concerning German disc craft. The craft were never part of the Luftwaffe but belonged under SS control, so those documents remain classified. The SS obviously had their own pilots with Raumanzugen (spacesuits)! Speer (Armaments Minister) wrote in his book "Infiltration" that although he had heard about the SS "Flying Tops"... he was locked-out of SS higher military programs by Himmler himself.
Draeger Nazi spacesuit
surprise find

Hard-shell design by ‘42
For space flyin’
Raumanzug tryin’

No real demand for it
“Silbervogel” down
Spaceplane designs not ready
Yet the German Flugscheiben were space bound!

[SS Raumjaeger term first around]

Draeger Nazi spacesuit
surprise find
(for manned) A-9?

Was improved
Was improved
Was improved
With separate gas systems
Flight suits for air
Horten suit was seen
Draeger made them

[Reds the stole them]

Space Nazis?
Draeger Nazi spacesuit
surprise find
(Or just oddities?)

Possible Nazi spaceplanes the Draeger suits were made for other than for flight discs: Sanger Silbervogel (Silverbird) Antipodal Bomber, EMW A-4, A-6, and A-9 manned V-2 rockets (one with aux. ramjet just like X-15), and the Von Braun spaceplane. Uses for space: Noordung circular space station and Von Braun designed Solar Cannon at 4000 mile altitude for burning cities. Did they have a moon project or Mars project? NAFAIK... BUT they had satellite designs and payload instrumentation V-2s for space recon!!! ALL of this tech and all concepts stolen by USA and USSR for postwar space programs. First shuttle designs by Von Braun in '50s and then Junkers RT-8 in '60s- both preceded the US STS in '70s and MiG-105 Spiral spaceplane unmanned test orbiter... FYI
