Yeah, and it's very much a case of too little, too late, and the
resources would have been much better spent on a more massive force
of proven technology, not diverted from the front lines towards
something that may but most likely will not work.
What are you talking about? The designs worked fine. Some of them were
5 years old. Hitler was too stupid to believe in them or authorize
them, he only really understood land warfare. He doomed his navy and
gave too little, too late to his air force as you say. He was so intent
on getting strategic bombers so he could bomb England that he let the
Me262 and the other jet ideas wane until they were basically worthless
to the cause. He turned the Graf Zeppelin into a reef.
