Engineering Works

Science is the basis for infantry and vehicle modernization. The benefits are enjoyed by your entire army – both your present army, and the army of the future. Expanding your engineering works will provide access to new types of scientific advances.

Because of the ideology of the "master race", German scientific research was at a huge disadvantage: those driven from Germany included such luminaries as Albert Einstein, Lise Meitner, James Franck, and Gustav Hertz, to name a few. Despite this, the Third Reich enjoyed a number of innovations. Germany designed the jet plane, made advances in medicine and chemistry (including the creation of synthetic materials), and other scientific fields. However, in the autumn of 1940, Hitler, hoping for a speedy end to the war, issued an order banning the improvement of any weapons that could not be delivered to the field within the year.
