The US wasn't a superpower militarily before WW2. Economically, yes, and it had the money and man power to do so if it wanted to, but it didn't. Before WW2 the US never kept a large standing army during peace time because all the way back to George Washington, they thought if you spend that much money on it, you're going to use it regardless if you need to or not. You don't use all that time, effort, and money on something and let it go to waste. There were several major powers before WW2. All with their different strengths, but no superpowers.

One thing is certain: technically and militarily, Germany was more advanced than any other country at that time. Germany already had a stealth fighter jet from Horton. And also the first Figheter Jet, the Messerschmit ME 262. And without Wernher von Braun, the US would never get to the moon so quickly. The Germans already had the Rockets technology. Albert Einsein also came from Germany, but he had studied and worked in Switzerland, where he also received citizenship before he went to America and then received US citizenship

[@naordie]

Rockets started in Russia. Nukes were created in the USA. Radar in the UK. Germany lost the war. German superiority was a myth. They were defeated by numbers and factories, not technology.

[@McLarenMercedes]

1. The British invented the jet engine before the Germans. Frank Whittle. 2. The Horton was not a fighter and neither was it stealth. Not a single one was ever operational either. What "already" ? 3. The American Robert H. Goddard built the first liquid-powered rockets in 1925. 4. The Russian Sergei Korolev designed and build liquid-powered rockets right after. On August 18, 1933, GIRD launched the first hybrid propellant rocket, the GIRD-09, and on November 25, 1933, the Soviet's first liquid-fueled rocket GIRD-X. Korolev was the man behind the the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile, the R7-Semyorka in 1957. He later headed the Soviet space program. 5. The Atomic Bomb was by far the most advanced weapon of the war. American, British and Canadian scientists worked on it. 6. Robert Oppenheimer was an American. The man most responsible for the atomic bomb. 7. Enrico Fermi was an Italian (later naturalized American) who built the first nuclear reactor Pile-1. 8. Alan Turing was British. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science. 9. Niels Bohr was Danish and who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. 10. Einstein was also a Jew and therefore not German at all according to the Third Reich. Einstein is the only theoretical physicist you know of. "One thing is certain: " Bertrand Russell (mathematician, logician, philosopher, writer and Nobel Prize winner) once said: "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are certain while the intelligent are full of doubt." Id say he had the likes of you in mind. Always very certain of things but actually knowing very little.

[@FinalFront]

@@McLarenMercedes You should understand that rockets don't scale up easily. It was a massive engineering feat to scale liquid fueled rockets up. The liquid fueled rockets built and launched by Goddard as well as the Soviets with the GIRD-09 were tiny rockets, essentially large model rockets. This is the reason project overcast was so important for the post-war American rocket program, and even still they encountered huge problems with scaling up liquid fueled engines to be as large as the F-1. The Soviets had problems with this too, and as a matter of fact they never did develop large engines for heavy lift rockets like the Americans did under Werner von Braun.

Like most people these days you lack insight n not seeing the big picture, higher-ups in Germany was a plan to use a dirty bomb on New York, do a bit of some research before making foolish comments on something you clearly have no understanding

[@glennquagmire1747]

It don't make sense to you because you clearly don't understand what German high command was planning with this idea of bombing America so in a nutshell this plane had one purpose and that is to drop a dirty bomb on New York, so your comment is laughable because you clearly lack insight n understanding of history and making unfounded remarks. This this MAKE SENSE TO YOU !!!!

First Rule of Amphibious Warfare:- If you want to invade an island defended by the largest navy in the world, and your own navy will fit into the fuhrer's bathtub and still leave room for his rubber duck, Erich, perhaps it is wiser not to try.

Probably all European nations in the 1920s nd 30s knew who posed the ultimate threat to their civilization, and Germany was one of them. The Germans were well aware that the enemy found their 'promised land' in the US, particularly in NY. This knowledge is now erased from all coursebooks and courses, but sources providing this now well guarded and censored insight still exist.

[@chriskelly4299]

I'm not sure I know what your getting at. So who was the ultimate threat? Just Americans?

So the agents did not kill the coast guard man, but chose to pay him money to keep his mouth shut. Just saying.

[@oldgysgt]

A dead or missing Coast Guard man would attracted a lot of unwanted attention. The German agents apparently really believed the German propaganda that Americans were only interested in money.

The Nasties developed a nuclear weapon, radioactive dust spread by conventional explosives at about 3,000 feet above target. Nasty but unreliable, but it would have worked. Form following function, the Amerika bomber looked a lot like the B-29. Not copying, but the same mission. Good thing they couldn't build many.

[@dovetonsturdee7033]

Total number of ME264s? Three. Their development was abandoned in 1943.

[@wayne8297]

I couldn't imagine what the US would be like if they developed nuclear weapons

[@kennethroth6757]

They did with Joe Biden

[@SocietaEVO]

I miss back when the US jailed those who suspected enemies.

America won the war all on their own - what rubbish. So many in-correct statements in this film. America never found Peenemunde and did not bomb it either. UK did.

[@hansgruber650]

But in the end who used horrible weapons of mass destruction ?

The first one to get it

[@timsytanker]

So what was the alternative…..?

The Germans where trying to develop a nuclear bomb, had try not stifled scientific research with ideology.

The idea of Germany attacking New York is stupid, it was never going to happen. The B-29 program cost more than the Manhattan Project. This is just clickbait.

It did happen just many years later.
