The more you read about the Luftwaffe secret projects, the more you realize they were years and years ahead of American and British development. The German engineers and designers were so advanced, several historians had said that when American and British designers saw (after the war) what they built, what was in process, and especially what was on the drawing board, they realized that the Germans could have easily won the war if it weren't for the ol' Adolf's incompetence.
Yup. If not for a few military blunders (failure to achieve air superiority over England, attacking Russia at the end of summer, etc) WWII may have had quite a different outcome. The German engineers were brilliant and forward thinking. However, like in real life, upper management had to go and screw it up!
