Isn’t there a Gary Larson’s far side comic where an alien is using a giant magnifying glass to burn humans?
Well, if such a comic exists, this article reminds me of it. o.O

I think I remember that! Wasn’t it two giant alien kids just having fun?

That would have been a better article if they had taken the time to point out some of the oh-so-many ways that would have been impossible. It most likely still is.

This reminds me of the Solarbonite weapon in Plan 9 from Outer Space. The aliens were trying to stop humans from creating it because it would mean the end of the universe.

Didn’t they do this in one of the James Bond movies?

The Giant Nazi Heat-Ray Space Station Parabola would be a good name for a rock band.

Without a practical method of delivery into space, the point seems rather moot.

Ah, but they had a method of delievery to space: The V2. In theory it could deliever half a ton into orbit. Here is a link to a videoclip with a V2 filming the earth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emMIM3CKGtQ
Makes you a bit dizzy, though.
On a more realistic note, Hitler should probably have used the resources on more appliable and already proven technology. Winter uniforms for the soldiers, for example.
