Not the plane shortened the length of the war, but Hitler's decision about it. If it hadn't been for that decision that plane might have prolonged the war.

He must have decided to send the plane against the Western Allies, instead of using it against the Russians, where it could have held them off for a while.

Nope, that was not the nature of his decision. To make it easier for you, here is an image of the plane we are talking about:

He Decided to stop production of it...

Malte279 · **Reply #224 on:** August 24, 2005, 03:23:21 AM

No he didn't.

Nick22 · **Reply #225 on:** August 24, 2005, 09:28:24 AM

Did he limit the number of planes?

I think they were already near defeat by the time those planes were being made. I saw that plane before, but I just can't place the name.

Could they be the V-2s?

Malte279 · **Reply #228 on:** August 25, 2005, 07:00:05 AM

Nope they aren't. Look at the photo, it is a jet-plane...
Oh well, the name of the plane is Me-262. Please tell me what Hitler deceided about it.

Nick22 · **Reply #229 on:** August 25, 2005, 03:01:39 PM

It Was The First turbojet... had hitler used it more effectively he would have won the war...

Malte279 · **Reply #230 on:** August 25, 2005, 03:16:36 PM

So what was the decision he made? The decision that was so wrong?
And I disagree about it really changing the course of the war. It certainly would have had a huge impact and many people think that it may have changed the course of the war. However, those people overlook that there hardly was the fuel left for it to be used effectively in the long run. Moreover it is frequently overlooked that England too produced a jet plane during the war (Gloster Metador) though it was hardly used. Still the effect the Me 262 might have had should not be underestimated.
What was the decision Hitler made that spared us this? It can be summed up precisely in one sentence.

Yes and the Us had the nuclear bomb at the end of the war, had Germany Held out for a few more months,the Us would probably have nuked berlin. So this decison came before he commited suicide?

Well, it would have been sort of difficult for him to make an decisions AFTER his suicide

Was it that the planes used too much of the little resources they have, so Hitler chose to put the resources to their tanks in their invasion of Russia, which was pretty much wasted when they were forced to retreat?

Nick22 · **Reply #234 on:** August 26, 2005, 12:05:01 AM

At this time the forces in Russia had surrendered so I don't think that's it, BUT i could be wrong...

Malte279 · **Reply #235 on:** August 26, 2005, 02:53:19 AM

No. In fact the decision he made was about the use of the plane. It can be found at google, wikipedia etc.

Nick22 · **Reply #236 on:** September 05, 2005, 05:07:25 PM

let me search...

Malte279 · **Reply #237 on:** September 06, 2005, 03:34:08 AM

I never forbid you to search.

Nick22 · **Reply #238 on:** September 09, 2005, 05:25:15 PM

he failed to use them in large numbers against Britian, by the time he started using them, the allies had a commanding air superiority.

Malte279 · **Reply #239 on:** September 09, 2005, 06:28:07 PM

Nope. I gave you the name of the plane. Entering it at google will certainly give you the answer.
