Yellowish.
Forget the Fatherland solution. In this case, we have a much better, home-grown process.

From captured Nazi's scientist."
Actually a jet propulsion engine was developed simultaneously in England & Germany.
ENGLAND: Sir Frank Whittle, OM, KBE, CB, FRS, Hon FRAeS (1 June 1907 – 9 August 1996) was a British Royal Air Force (RAF) engineer officer. He is credited with independently inventing the turbojet engine (some years earlier than Germany's Dr. Hans von Ohain) and is hailed by some as the father of jet propulsion......... Whittle's engine was starting to look useful, and his Power Jets Ltd. started receiving Air Ministry money. In 1941 a flyable version of the engine called the W.1, capable of 1000 lbf (4 kN) of thrust, was fitted to the Gloster E28/39 airframe specially built for it, and first flew on May 15, 1941 at RAF Cranwell.
GERMANY: "In 1935 Hans von Ohain started work on a similar design in Germany, apparently unaware of Whittle's work. His first device was strictly experimental and could only run under external power, but he was able to demonstrate the basic concept. Ohain was then introduced to Ernst Heinkel, one of the larger aircraft industrialists of the day, who immediately saw the promise of the design.......Their subsequent designs culminated in the gasoline-fuelled HeS 3 of 1,100 lbf (5 kN), which was fitted to Heinkel's simple and compact He 178 airframe and flown by Erich Warsitz in the early morning of August 27, 1939, from Rostock-Marienehe aerodrome, an impressively short time for development. The He 178 was the world's first jet plane. "and The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow") was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft!
Don’t start stalking and dragging one thread to another, if you have an unfinished conversation on another thread, then post on it.
Hey, don’t let your imagination run wild. I was posting on-topic over here. We were talking about Nazi’s and it occured to me that in a reverse world the Nazi’s would be concentration-camp-killing blondes, so I thought I’d mention what that might sound like if a German said it.
But are you BLONDE????
I'm betting you're a GINGER!

Don’t stalk.
You’re stalking me right now. Cut it out.
Please tell me that is a joke.
John Daly: genius! Yep.
Oh brother....by the same logic swept wing jet planes are Nazi-era Technology Embraced by everone
verner von brown?
nasa?
rockets?
space program?
talk about selective memory.
Yamaha is based on the NSU motorcycle engine.
Nazism and communism are minor variants of the same thing. One had spiffier uniforms, the other happened to choose the winning side in the War.
I thought as much..... ;-)
He's such a stalker.
Nazi Germany gave Ike the Idea for the Interstate Highway System when he saw the German AutoBan after WW II.
