Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "The North American XB-28 Dragon – Mini Superfort" video.
In the spring of 43 the Germans believing that they were on the way to winning the war cancelled many military projects. Especially those which were for the defence of Germany. Amongst those projects cancelled was the Enzian. It was a smaller pilotless version of the Me-163 but was a radioguided ground launched anti-aircraft missile with a 500 kg, 1,100 lb, warhead. You can imagine what that would do if one or two of those had exploded in formation of USAAF B-17s. If it had gone into production then maybe the XB-28 would have been looked at again.
