![]() "robert arndt" wrote in message om... Or better those morons like you that cannot accept the fact that Germany is the size of just 1 US state and took on the world and was winning half the time. And losing the other half. Overunning Belgium was no great trick and Norway was no super power. They managed to beat France to be sure but the first time the vaunted Luftwaffe met a technically equal but smaller force it was stopped dead. By late 1940 Britain alone was outproducing Germany in terms of most major military systems despite a much smaller population and economy, Then the Fuhrer attacked Russia - STOOPID Then after defeat, your VICTORIOUS and SUPERIOR armies raped the entire German nation for all of its technology ensuring postwar victories without any real effort on your part to develop them yourself... in areas so unimportant as say... aviation and space technology... just to name two! The USA had better jet aircraft in 1945 than Germany did The late model Meteor was faster than the Me-262 and far more reliable. The Germans never did get their engines to work for more than 25 hours while the Rolls Royce engines in the Meteor were good for 2000 Germany never managed to build a succesful heavy bomber, the USA had 3 types in service and the B-36 under development The NACA in the USA was alreay working on swept wing technology in 1945 Von Braun acknowledged that all his work was built on the foundations laid by Goddard. The rocket engines used in the X planes post war were designed by Goddard's team and were far BETTER and more reliable than those in the Me-163 Then there is the fiasco that was the German nuclear project. The myth of German technical superiority is just that. Keith |
