Thought so. Could have sworn I'd heard it referred to as "The Hitler Youth Fighter" on some show once.
Really, Hitler is to blame for his jet program's lack of impact. He's the one that saw the Me-262 and said "There should be a bomber version". Who sees their country being levelled by massive bomber formations, looks at the most advanced fighter aircraft up to that point and thinks 'Im going to split resources to make a bomber variant when resources are already scarce to begin with' ?
But then again, Hitler's reign is marred by several terrible military decisions. Who invades Russia? Has that ever turned out well for anyone that has tried? lol
