Very true when availability of war materials became problematic. Also, over-engineering and manufacturing became less so (as the Allies reached Germany) and then so did quality.

I've never seen as much quality as I did when looking at a German machined stainless steel U-boat torpedo housing. but the same when for small arms...that's why we have the MP-5 and G3 of today.

I always liked the FW-190D ‘Dora’. Saw it at Wright Patt museum.

They had to fly it with a wood prop.
