The Messerschmitt Me 262 is one of the most iconic planes from World War 2. As the first jet fighter fielded in significant numbers, it marks the shift from piston to jet aircraft. Let's go over its history and design. This is Part 2.
Poster Comment:
Germany gave Japan the plans for the Me-262. When U.S. troops occupied Japan in 1945, they found a cave in the mountains the Japs were working on that plane. Inside the cave it was safe from air raids.
Thousands of German professional people emigrated to the US after WWII...
My friend like most had three basic reasons for doing so.
Russians...Jews...Communists or any combination thereof.
Yes of course. And then there was Operation Paperclip which brought the cream of German scientists and even military men here.
Heinrich Mueller was one of them. If you look him up online you will find he was the highest ranking Nazi never caught or killed. One site even says he is buried in a Jewish cemetery in Berlin. But that, of course, is a cover story. Mueller escaped to Switzerland and the proof is the Gestapo Chief series of books by Gregory Douglas. The sub title is The 1946 Interrogation of Heinrich Mueller. ;)
