Ah yes, the people's hunter; thanks for that DS. Such a concept...Hitler youth in wooden planes with no armor and poor armament to take on P51s.

I've often thought that the best thing that could have happened would have been for Hitler to die in WWI or succumb to one of the early assassination attempts, but, lacking that, we were, in a sick way, lucky that he was in charge in Germany during the war. Opening the Eastern front was probably the masterstroke that led to his defeat but his refusal to have anything to do with "Jewish physics" was a stroke of luck for us. Just imagine what would have happened if some intelligent strategist, Dönitz perhaps, had been in charge of the war; early R&D of jet aircraft, the trans-Atlantic bomber, the V2, effective guided air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles and who knows what else. Thank goodness a bumbling, mind clouded by hate, Austrian yokel was selected to lead Germany.
