That looks cool!!! Odd about the landing gear, I'd think maybe the weight would be forward in a normal plane but here the big heavy rocket engines would be in the stern so that doesn't make much sense.

I read somewhere the Germans probably wouldn't have had an A-bomb until 1960 or so at the earliest. A good number of the best German atomic scientists and engineers were Jewish. Executing your best experts, shoving them in camps, or pushing them to flee overseas wasn't the best idea.

The Japanese were far closer to having the Bomb than the Germans. They at least were on the right track. They thankfully didn't have the enriched uranium to build the thing. And having the Imperial Navy and Imperial Army running two entirely separate programs didn't help.
