Ancient Aliens!!!

Also they developed the first assault rifles. Spearheaded the importance of Armoured vehicles. Superior aircraft dominance in the air. AND REGARDLESS OF WHO THOUGHT UP JET ENGINE. The first and most advanced at it were... *drumroll* The germans, creating the first jet in the world the Messerschmitt Me 262.

0.0, well it just goes to show, war times really really feed technological advancement. Maybe if we had more wars we'd have hovercars and not a shitty president who promised change and gave us bullshit. Interesting I hope I don't forget any thing when I come down, haha!.

War used to make worthwhile civilian technology back in the day...but anymore its reduculous shit like HAARP and soundwave weapons. Pretty soon soldiers wont even step on a battlefield, or fly fighter jets anymore. Ever read about the Turbine Car they made in the 60's? i thin it was Chrysler, but not sure. It was a failure because it was to advanced and woulda hurt oil companies. So we actually have and have had good stuff, but the GOVT shuts it down most of the time before the public gets it lol

We meant who had the advantage at the time, dude. The germans since they were putting theory to practical use and were the first to get it off the ground.

I made a mistake in my post above ... The Germans had the first experimental jet in the air, the Heinkel He 178 in August 1939.
The English were third; the second were the Italians, who also had a turbojet research program.
The Messerschmitt Me 262 was of course the first jet fighter, being put into service May 1944. The British weren't far behind ... the Gloster Meteor was put into service in July. It din't get as much attention because it was only used over friendly territory, primarily to pick off V-1 "buzz bomb" cruise missiles. cn

The Me 262 actually only had a 100-mph advantage on the premier prop fighters of the day. Stories abound of skilled Mustang and Thunderbolt jocks who used the peculiarly narrow flight envelope of the Schwalbe to their advantage Chuck Yeager, who flew combat in Mustangs, referred to the Schwalbe as the "Blowjob".
The freaky one was the Me 163 Komet ... it had an attack airspeed of about six hundred MPH, 4/3 that of the fighters but twice that of their natural prey, the bombers. Once the Komet's fuel ran out however, it became a glider and was "easy pickins" for the fighter escort. Ballsy Komet pilots would out the spent fighter in a near-vertical dive, but the pullout for landing left a huge window of vulnerability. cn

Personally I think the germans would have won had they built the nuclear bomb, and with a crazed dictator like hitler he wouldnt be nice about it either. You know what really gets under my skin is how the holocause is a huge deal. 6 million jews died? Well you know the japanese killed like (well sources range from) 10mill - 40mill innocent people, and like like wtf? We give a big shit about the holocaust and theyre suffering, like don't get me wrong its all a human injustice to me, and none of it should happen, and we shouldn't blame the japanese today or the germans today for what happened in the past in a different generation. But it just infuriates me, note: I am 1/4 japanese 1/4 spanish 1/2 aussie. dual aussie us citizen

100 mph is pretty fast in a fighter back then, i meant the first time you mighta saw one in the air, prolly freaked em out lol. But after the initial shock wore off , yes they got picked off by RAF pilots. They did fuck alota bomber sqauds up tho.

I am the offspring of a rocket scientist ... well, engineer. No shit. I am also of the correct ethnic extraction, but I've never held with Nazi (or anyone else's) race bullshit.

Even so, Dr. Strangelove cracks me up, every time.
