also decided to not do a long range bomber due to resource constraints Archived Message

good thing about the US is that we could afford to develop an Air Force that could do everything. Nazis also liked stuff like the V2 rocket program, that they thought could replace the need for a long range bomber. Nazis had far too many different pieces of equipment instead of focusing on a few basic designs. Way too many types of planes, ground combat vehicles, artillery pieces, etc. i haven't read a good explanation for why they did that.
