,can't imagine how far their engineers could of taken their knowledge if they had the resources

Germany had some of the best in the business, but their engines couldn't match their ambitions. The airframers were hedging their bets on engines that couldn't live up to expectations with airframes that were overly complicated, although innovative and advanced. The sorry saga that was Germany's bomber development beginning with the He 177 until the war's end was a mess, and it wasn't as simple to blame the Nazi hierarchy.
