| Dec 6, 2018 at 1:22 | comment | added | JScarry | @SJuan76 Germany had several aircraft manufacturers during the war and even had the first jet-engined fighter at the end of the war. While a lot of the infrastructure was gone, they still had technical know-how. The Marshall plan helped rebuild the auto and chemical industries, so there isn’t any technical reason that they couldn’t have rebuilt their aircraft industry. One reason that Germany is the home of world-class glider companies is that they were restricted in their ability to manufacture aircraft. I just don’t know the details of the restrictions. | |
