It's been a while since I've seen it but yes. it did. Hitler cancelled the Bomber B, or as it was known unofficially, the "Amerika Bomber."
yes, in 1942.
That was
a plan for a long range bomber similar to the B-29 Superfortress, which lasted until 1960, capable, as the name suggests, of striking the the United
States.
look, the Germans never had a serious need for a strategic bomber, and never seriusly invested in one. Germany planned for a war in europe, easily within range of fighter cover (negating the need for extra guns). The Americans invested in these types of aircraft because they planned for a war across the Pacific against japan, across North America and the Atlantic against the British empire, and for random raids on Latin America. The British invested in them because they were planning to defeat germany by bombing raids. By the time Germany needed such a craft, they needed other things more. They also lacked experience with building that type of craft, and other related skills. Finally, I don't recall tthe B-29 being able to make a transatlantic bombing run from a base in the US to germany and back, so why can the Germans pull this off?
Why do you think we escaped the bombing that Britain, Romania, Italy, Germany, and Japan suffered?
I would guess it had a little something to do with being seperated by thousands of miles of ocean from any true competitors (Canada aside, but the British were not interested in a fight with the Americans), having all of it's war conducted on the far side of the world's two largest oceans, and being able to literally outrpoduce the competition.
good for you. Try plausibility.
Germany had plans to continue the war beyond 1945.
The arabs planned to crush the fledgling Israeli state in 1948. Japan had plans to force the US to the bargaining table by mid-1942. germany had plans named operation Sealion. That doesn't mean that they worked (or would have). and remember, the original german plans called for the USSR to be dealt a cripppling blow by the end of 1941, not for the hammer and sickle to fly from the reichstag in 1945. Planning something and actually carrying it out are two entirely different concepts.
Germany was working on its Volksjager, (People's Fighter,) and better jets to
deal with the Allies.
I would think the name might be a slightly worrying sign. As a general rule, when the Nazis name things peoples *insert word here*, they are getting desperate. And while the Salamander did have some good characteristics, it was a rushed job designed to fill a gap between quality and quantity, of which the luftwaffe needed both. I have also seen references to numerous flaws the original design and prototypes had, for similar reasons.
Ever hear of Operation Downfall?
This is a tangent, but yes.
If Japan hadn't surrendered, we would have used more nuclear bombs, and invaded Japan.
When the US began signifigant production of nuclear weapons (in 1950, I believe) it churned out about 50 a year. I can see about 20 being made in 1946. Alone that is a signifigant force; when merged with the red Army and the Tousand Bomber raids, that is more then enough to bring down germany, with leftovers for Japan.
One of the components of Operation Downfall was Operation Coronet and it
was supposed to begin in November of 1945 and go into 1946.
Tangent again. actually, most sources I have read suggest that Olympic (the initial invasion of japan, Coronet was the followup landing on Honshu; get your facts straight) was on the verge of being canceled. Honestly, the USN can just seal off Japan, while planes destroy transportation infrastructure and industry. Starvation and devastation coming from this will destroy Japan as a nation, effectivly ending hte war.
