Re: UFOs of the Reich

Very interesting. I'll have to run that through a translator. Judging by

some of the visual comparisons, I'd say the author is making valid 
points about the Reichs aviation industry pushing the state of the art 
by a great deal.

Another excellent site on the same topic is http://www.luft46.com/

They have a lot of computer generated imagery of Luftwaffe prototypes 
and drawing board dreams too. Great eyecandy. The He-1078a for example 
(http://www.luft46.com/ghart/gh078-1.jpg) could have flown against the 
Mig-15. Nobody has a forward swept wing fighter today (except for the 
X-29), but the He-162 flew and there was a planned FSW model, 
http://www.luft46.com/ghart/gh162d.html.

To drag this remotely on topic, have any of the people who've done WW2 
with either SG or DS2 considered including the late-war and prototype 
models ? The Maus would almost qualify as a modular vehicle compared to 
a Pz IV.
