This is MTO.org, we don't need no moderators!I find it perversley interesting to see some of the concepts the Nazis had for long range delivery of bombs. I recall seeing concept designs for a large multi-jet engine bomber meant to attack New York but as far as I remember they never had any impressive bomber designs.

I spent entire days dreaming of soaring over the German countryside in one of those when I was a kid.(Image removed from quote.)
