Germans never knew american VT fuzes Shot Down 82% of Their V-1s In One Day - WW2 Theories. The Nazi V-1 "Buzz Bombs" were terrorizing London, and traditional anti-aircraft fire was failing. Then, a top-secret American invention changed everything—shooting down 82% of incoming V-1s in a single day. To the German scientists, it seemed impossible. Their V-1 flying bombs were fast, small, and difficult to hit. Yet, suddenly, Allied anti-aircraft batteries began picking them out of the sky with terrifying precision. The secret? The VT Fuze (Proximity Fuze). In this episode of WW2 Theories, we dive into the "Third Most Secret Weapon" of World War II. While the Germans were still trying to perfect timed fuzes, American engineers miniaturized a radar set into the nose of an artillery shell. This allowed the shell to explode just by being near the target, creating a lethal zone that the V-1s could not escape.
