Despite around-the-clock bombing by British and American heavy bombers, the Germans during World War II produced an ever-increasing volume of advanced military materiel right up until the end of the war. Even though they had terribly limited resources and were being squeezed on all sides, they still managed to field the first true assault rifle, genre-defining attack submarines, and surface-to-surface missile systems that the rest of the world would take a generation to best. However, what they really excelled at was jet airplanes. The Arado Ar234 Blitz bomber was supposed to turn the tide of the war for the Nazis.

The Me 262 had a top speed of 560 mph and sported four bomber-killing 30mm automatic cannon in the nose. To put that in…
