German Helicopter Air-Mech: WW2 Style! So far, nearly every modern military idea has a German WW2 antecedant.

Meaning usually the Germans--not Americans--thought of it first. The M113 Gavin fully enclosed, air-transportable, amphibious, tracked APC was truly an American first. The fixed-wing airplane by the Wright Brothers was an USA first. "First" is certainly not the province of the moronic USMC who brag that they don't think and whine that they don't have money when Congress pours billions into their Oprah Winfrey-style victim racket. They copied shallow-draft landing craft from the Japanese. Civilian Donald Roebeling came up with the open-top, amphibious tractor (AMTRACK). So much for gyrene innovation. A Polish Lieutenant created the first military VTOL helicopter for static observation in WW1. The Germans were the first to field moving combat VTOL helicopters, followed by the U.S. Army in WW2. The USMC didn't even get involved until their packing gyrenes-in-vulnerable-surface-ships racket got threatened after folks began putting 2+2 after pondering the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan in WW2 and later nuclear bomb tests against clusterfucks of surface ships. And even then it was the U.S. Army to develop a coherent air mobility force structure using helicopter troop ships, gunships and scout aircraft with the 11th Air Assault Testbed Division in the 1960s. The U.S. Army had to create the helicopter gunship and escort marine "slick" troop transports in Vietnam so they wouldn't get shot up in flames.

Helicopters do NOT make surface ships packed with men less vulnerable and during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis Soviet submarines were one push-button away from incinerating thousands of marines and Sailors with nuclear torpedoes.
LTG Gavin in 1958 warned that in the guided missile age American amphibious forces had better go underwater with submarines

or else they will be incinerated:

The only surface ships that can survive in the guided missile age we live in are ones over 10, 000 tons--30, 000 tons+ heavy cruisers and 40, 000+ battleships that can actually absorb some missile strikes. If the USMC wanted to put their money where their baraggadocio mouths are, they'd cough up 4, 000 man slots from their bureaucratic foot-slogger victim empire to man two Iowa class battleships to deliver an armored amphibious landing force that could actually not get sunk so it can deliver men alive across-the-beach:

The V-22 is the latest manifestation of the prop-up-the-surface-ship-sardines-Iwo Jima-with-VTOL-helicopters-lie and even looks like a German FA-223 when in hover mode except the latter has real large rotors so vortex ringstate doesn't cause a lift imbalance; a fatal V-22 flaw of its too small rotors that cannot be solved.

"I found some more awesome German chopper footage here:
http://helicopter-history.org/focke223.html
Have a look at the Fa 223 airlifting a full Fieseler Storch [STOL fixed-wing observation aircraft] off the ground. Must be 1944. They are also recovering a downed Fw190 and airlifting a Kübelwagon! [unarmored scout car] Amazing stuff.
There's some footage of a captured Fl 282 in U.S. markings flying backwards and even hands off at low altitude."
Thanks to Grommo, we can see the Germans who were the first to air-mech tracked assault guns into North Africa in 1942 by their Me-323 Gigants were already thinking about using helicopters to air-mech ground vehicles!
