You're right but not only about the aircraft, Lockheed as well
Hitler's kamikazes. ARTE, Wednesday 14 April 2010, 20.30 (GMT+2)End of WWII, the Reich decides to send suicide planes (selbstopfer) on enemy targets and recruits pilots through great blows of propaganda.More than hundred young people go volunteer. (Leonidas Squadron)Aircraft used at the time of these missions were unarmed and couldn't communicate between them. The only contact before attacks: the ground radio operator giving orders and the national anthem, as well as exhortations launched by feminine voices ("Totenritt"). One of the first operations took place at the beginning of January 1945 on the Oder, where the Red Army installed floating bridges that these pilots had to destroy? Six survivors testify.
Some poetry in this mad worldJean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (20 October 1854 ? 10 November 1891) a French poet, born in Charleville, Ardennes. As part of the decadent movement, his influence on modern literature, music and art has been enduring and pervasive. He produced his best known works while still in his late teens (Victor Hugo described him at the time as "an infant Shakespeare") and gave up creative writing altogether before he reached 21. He remained a prolific letter-writer all his life. Rimbaud was known to have been a French Libertine and a restless soul, traveling extensively on three continents before his death from cancer less than a month after his 37th birthday.(not to confuse with Rambo)
