When the B-17 accidentally bombarded Oklahoma City or actually Boise City during Exercise in  July 1943, the United States Military afraid that some German or other Axis agents were trying to intercept the United States Air Force Base, and try to steal the B-17 or some other bombers, what could be loaded with bombs or nitroglycerin tanks, that could use an attack against American targets like shipyards. There is no physical evidence that "Abwehr" was trying to make that kind of action, but in the War everything is possible.



There were rumors in the USA and Great Britain, that German Espionage would slip the Luftwaffe aircraft in those countries as the parts, and then they would try to put those pieces together. And after that, there could be even the German bomber squadron in the USA, and that could be made very bad damages because normal people would not be reserved any attention for that kind of threat. In some other rumors were claimed, that the necessary machine parts were slipped in Mexico by German or Japanese ships before the attack against Pearl Harbor.


Somebody wrote a book about this imaginational operation, and in that book, the used aircraft would be Junkers JU-52, and the used weapon was the DFS-230 glider, what would be equipped with propane gas tanks. The glider would be the remote controlled thermobaric bomb, what was pulled by JU-52, what was modified to look the Ford "Tin Goose". The weapon was planned to use against shipyards or the Capitolium Hill, and this book or novel was of course fiction. But it brought my mind the thoughts about, how deadly weapon this kind of mind is?


Also, Stanley Kubrick made the similar idea of the B-52 bomber, what would be used as the giant cruise missile. Or this is how I understood the film, "Dr. Strangelove". And there were many writings where were similar ideas, but the used platform is changing. Sometimes those nuclear weapons are installed in the cars, what was exploded by their fanatic drivers. That kind of nuclear weapons is extremely dangerous because they give the surprise attack against the defense.


The vehicle that is equipped with the nuclear weapon would drive near the command center of military, and then the weapon would be launched. That kind of thing is very dangerous because in many scenarios the war begins with a series of bomb strikes, what is targeted to command systems, like radars and radio stations. Those bombs would put by special forces, what would also eliminate key persons. This is one of the most usual scenarios about crises between superpowers.
