I had this epiphany that people will discuss the American, British, Russian, German, heck even the niche buffs can name French, Chinese, and Italian generals of WW2......but there's this massive empty space about who were the Japanese generals of WW2 apart from Tojo, and even then that's only because he was Prime Minister and Yamamoto because he was the admiral propaganda hyped up because of Pearl Harbor. But all the rest of them? Blank.

In 1936 German engineer Hans Van Ohain designed and built the first turbo jet engine in 36 or 37 it’s hard to say but because his prototype beat out the British Power Jets WU to test flights, as such I consider it the first jet engine to run. In 1939 Hans Van Ohain and Heinkel Flugzeugwerke managed to achieve the first turbo jet aircraft to achieve flight with the HE 178, and within the week Germany invaded Poland meaning the ME 262 which was already in development as a jet fighter now had proof of concept. With a working prototype finished in 1942 Hitler blocked mass production in 1943 after seeing the ME 262 at an air show , since he wanted a fast bomber that could outrun the RAF and be a pain in the ass for ground anti aircraft crews on bombing runs to hit. By mid 1944 Hitler approved mass production of the interceptor and pilots began training in fall of 1944. Just before the buldge started the ME was intercepting bomber formation and could out run the mustang escort plane on paper, in reality the jet engine was made with subpar metal and was prone to breaking down killing its first fighter squadron commander when the mustangs caught up with him during a dive to restart the engine.

I wish history had more *good guys* but that is not the case on a national scale.

WW2: The Allies fought the Nazis for invading Poland,long after annexing Czechoslovakia and Austria, not for the holocaust.

Many Nazi scientists and Unit 731 were pardoned by the US.

The USSR took the engineers.

American Revolution: France, a monarchy, supported the 13 Colonies not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because of their common enemy, Great Britain, another monarchy.

Bangladeshi Liberation War: India helped Bangladesh in its independance war against Pakistan because it would weaken Pakistan and several other factors.

Revolutions and coups in South America: The US supported them ,organized some of them, to mainly counter Communism

Russian Revolution: Germany mainly sent Lenin to Russia to destabilize them in WW1, not to help the people.

Or stabbed, burned alive, buried alive, beaten to death, fed to dogs, crushed to death, hanged, etc.

In July 1945, prior to the world's first nuclear test the Trinity test in New Mexico, scientists of the Manhattan Project established an informal $1 betting pool to predict the explosive yield of the "Gadget," since the implosion-type plutonium bomb was entirely untested.

Predictions varied drastically due to extreme uncertainty. Laboratory director J. Robert Oppenheimer pessimistically guessed a mere 0.3 kilotons, fearing a partial failure, while Edward Teller optimistically predicted a massive 45 kilotons.

​the actual yield of the explosion was calculated to be approximately 21 kilotons. Isidor Isaac Rabi, who had reluctantly chosen 18 kilotons because other plausible numbers were already taken, won the jackpot.
