Re: WW2 German Mod
And where are the Germans going to get more chrome? They already bought all Turkey was producing, and it wasn't enough. So with jet engines you have a choice. You chrome the insides of the engines and short your ground forces. Your gun barrels wear out faster. Then the Sovs eat you alive on the ground. Or you build all your shiny new ground toys, and short your jets. Without chrome, the life span of a Jumo Junkers OO4 engine is 45 hours, not long enough to be useful.
And this is speculation, but I wonder how many of the paper only projects were just something to keep designers busy.
