The drawings for the Daimler-Benz Amerikabomber from the spring of
1944 show giant four-engine planes with raised undercarriages
for transporting small bombers.

Well, live and learn. I hadn't heard of this envisioned plan
for the Amerikabomber.
IIRC, in the History Channel's special on exotic Nazi weapons,
the Amerikabomber was planned to drop a very large "dirty bomb"
that would disperse particles coated with highly radioactive material
over the middle of NYC.
Then the pilot/crew would fly out to sea to abandon the plane
(parachute out?) and be picked up by a U-Boat.
The plan was a dangerous mission, but not meant to be a suicide run.

Check this out, lots of German WW II prototype bombers.

I’d heard of the plane, as one of many. It’s development would be logical. As “suicide” missions, that’s new, though a one way trip to be picked up by submariners off the New York coast in 1944-45 isn’t much different.
