They developed the Me-262 jet, so maybe Hitler relents and let's his engineers develop a long range bomber comparable to the B-17 or Lancaster instead of the hybrid fighter-bombers (Ju-88s).


Even the B-17 and Lancaster could not make a trip from Europe to the US, especially with a 10,000 lb bomb load. I’d have to check but I’m pretty sure not even the B-29 could pull that off.

Right. A trans-Atlantic flight wouldn't have been possible. They would have needed a forward air base. Take out Moscow and Stalin probably just moves his production further east of the Urals.

Any documentation that Hitler's engineers flying-wing (B-2 concept) was more than a theory? I mean, they put the Me-262 into service and even with the small numbers it was more than formidable.
