✈️ The Underground Jet Factory Built by Forced Labor
In the final years of World War II, N**i Germany sought to increase production of the Messerschmitt Me 262, one of the war’s most significant jet-powered combat aircraft.
At Walpersberg, near Kahla, Germany, the REIMAHG project transformed a landscape into a wartime production site. Behind the project stood an immense construction effort—and the forced labor of prisoners and foreign workers.
But how many aircraft were actually assembled? What happened to the jets that emerged from the project? And could an underground armaments factory change Germany’s position in a war it was already losing?
This documentary examines the factory, the Me 262, the uncertain production figures, and the human cost behind the project.

• The REIMAHG project at Walpersberg
• Germany’s Me 262 jet fighter
