RE: WWII German planes

It's funny,

The more I look at the stuff the Germans were working on from planes to
missiles to tanks, the more I realise how much these designes have been
used as the basis for popular sci-fi ever since.  In the case of the
planes - looking at the designs I realise that almost ever popular
"spacefighter" design has its roots there.
