Übergeek 바둑이: Patato peels are interesting too. Once I read about that Hitler casted spells over masses with sonoric voice effects, I can't reproduce what Werner Maser was saying in his book now.

Übergeek 바둑이: try this link it has even more information.

Übergeek 바둑이: Well I guess it is fair to say that the USA's stealth tech is based on Nazi tech.

(V):  I would have told you that you were nuts for that last comment.  But ya learn something new everyday.   I can't believe how close they were at developing this bomber.  Like decades ahead of the game it seems.  Here are pics of an exact replica:

Artful Dodger: In certain respects, the stripping of Germany's forces after WWI gave them the advantage of starting afresh in their war machine building. It's why Dunkirk happened. Luckily we had a channel!!! Not just for us, but for the rest of the world.. as a fallen UK would have led to a very horrible battlefield logistically for the remaining Allies.

(V):

I wouldn't say that modern stealth tech is based on Nazi tech. The Horten brothers developed for the Nazis the first flying wing design andf that design hasn't changed much since then. Since it could fly lower and create less drag, it was about 80% less visible by radar than conventional bombers of WW II. Of course, it was all made of wood and not the carbon fiber composite materials used in modern stealth bombers. Those two brothers were brilliant. I find it interesting that nobody scooped them up after the war like they did with many other Nazi scientists. My understanding is that they were hobbyists and not trained aeronautical engineers. Their designs were unconventional, so they probably were seen as more odd than revolutionary in their designs. It is possible that they might have been unwilling to work for a third party. That design certainly is amazing.

Übergeek 바둑이: The guys themselves may not have worked for the USA.. but an incomplete (not assembled together) plane was exported to the USA.. As such, it would have given ideas on what could be done.

The fighter/bomber was designed to break the British radar defences and neutralise them. Without them, the air defences that relied on the radar system were 'blind' and would have been unable to stop the German airforce effectively.
