  1.  @amerigo88  RELATIVELY short lifespans. We're talking about 25 hour maintenance periods, not full lifespan of the engine. It was the time when engine would be fully dissassembled and checked. So it was normal for engine to survive 2 such periods ie 50 hours or even 3 ie 75 hours. Meanwhile late war prop engines of Allies driven to their limit already had a lifespan of only 100 hours. So "unreliable" jet engine built without required materials could match to a half or more of lifespan of much more expensive prop engine.

  2. Not without antagonizing USSR with Allies first. You need both Operation Pike and Allied volunteers in Winter War to make that wedge. Make Allies consider USSR as part of Axis... and then Germany could betray it and get quick victory:D Eastern Lebensraum secured, 100 million slavs starved, oil supply gotten, USA not involved, UK and France sign treaty in return for return of French mainland.

  3. Nope, not until he can sell Allies a participation medal. Want to win? Antagonize USSR to USA and UK.
