ME-262

Could have change the outcome of the war had in not been shelved back at the start of the war, and then later delayed because Hitler wanted it turned into a "jet dive-bomber" with which to attack London.

Ref #93, Yes, what an amazing airplane. A few thousand ME-262's could have destroyed our stategic bombing plan. Imagine if Hitler had held his cards for a few years. I think we still would have won, but he could have made it a lot more difficult, if he had not been an insane megalomaniac, trying to take everything right now, instead of biding his time. Same reason we lost Nam, the politicians wouldn't let the generals run the war.
