Hello does anyone have information and of course pictures of the bombers
and
fighters with BMW jet engines of around 1944 = 1955.

I watched an programme on TV last night where many German aircraft were
shewn which were quite remarkable even by today's standard .

It was quite fortunate for the allied forces that the war did not
progress
any further than it did

The stealth bomber that they had was quite amazing even though not
intended
when designed

Actually, it was even MORE fortunate for Germany that the war didn't
last longer -- there was the matter of "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," who
probably would have visited Berlin or Hamburg, instead of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.

While it's true that Fat Man and Little Boy were the end results of a
project started because of an apprehension that Germany was working on a
similar weapon, it was well known by D-Day that German work towards a
fission bomb had gone nowhere.
This the justification for using those bombs in Europe had vanished.
Moreover, by early 1945 conventional bombing had eradicated virtually every
target in Nazi-occupied Europe that wasn't deep under ground. IOW there was
nothing in Germany left to bomb.
Additionally, the USSR -- then allied with the west -- wanted revenge and
would have objected to being denied the conquest of Berlin.
The USSR had not been informed, officially, of the existence of the A-bomb
project and didn't _officially_ know about it until the post-war Potsdam
conference. The Soviets may have been allies, but no one in Washington
wanted them to see the USA's hole card until absolutely necessary. Those
bombs couldn't have been used in Europe without prior warning given to all
the allies.
Here's the kicker: where Japan was concerned the USA could call the shots,
because it was the only nation at war with Imperial Japan with significant
numbers of ground forces at risk in case of an invasion of the Home Islands.
But in Europe, while the USA was certainly the heavyweight among western
allies, all the Allied ground forces combined didn't equal the size of the
Soviet forces already committed. When you remember the tough time that the
western allies had up to the Rhine crossing, it's a chilling thought to
remember that we in the west were facing only 1/3 of German forces. The
other 2/3 were busy trying to hold back the Red Army.
And, as Ron has noted, German resistance to invading armies was nothing like
what had been seen and could be expected from Japan. Hitler may have called
for everyone to fight to the death, but only the SS came close to doing
that.
