85% of the fascist forces were destroyed by the Soviet Union.
n the late 1950s, the Russian scientist Ufimtsev developed and expanded the earlier work of H.M. MacDonald (cf. Electric Waves and also here where MacDonald's Physical Optics was first introduced), and developed a powerful asymptotic method for solving high-frequency diffraction problems.
This new method was particularly suited to stealth design, since it enabled the far field diffraction pattern of radar waves from airplanes to be calculated. In particular, it was now possible to calculate what shapes would NOT reflect the radar waves back to their source, and hence would be undectable by radar.
Surprisingly, Ufimstev's work was all but ignored in the Soviet Union, but not so in the US. After the US Air Force had translated his work from the original Russian, it was read by Denys Overholser, a radar specialist who realized its practical implications...and in fact, in a matter of months after he had read the paper, he had translated it into a computer program, ready for stealth design at the fabled "Skunk Works" shop. Both the Lockheed F-117 Stealth Fighter and the Northrop B-2 Stealth Bomber were designed with the aid of Ufimtsev's approach.

Utilizing this knowledge, Ufimtsev conjectured that even a large aircraft could be made "stealthy." Unfortunately, any aircraft taking advantage of his theories would be inherently unstable. As the technology of the day was incapable of producing the flight computers necessary to compensate for this instability, his concepts were shelved. Several years later, an analyst at Lockheed came across a paper about Ufimtsev's theories and, as technology had sufficiently advanced, the company began developing a stealth aircraft based on the Russian's work.

You're not convincing me of anything I don't already know... YOUR gov't is nothing but a scam also as is every other governing faction. They're all for self.
Fact is though regardless of whatever war is fought for whatever reason, everyone wants America to take the lead........
And even though the reason is to get a foothold and exploit them..............all of it's allies DO benefit in some form or they wouldn't be an ally.
In fact, Hitler’s Germany was defeated, first and foremost, by the Soviet Union . Some 70-80 percent of German combat forces were destroyed by the Soviet military on the Eastern front. The D-Day landing in France by American and British forces, which is often portrayed in the United States as a critically important military blow against Nazi Germany, was launched in June 1944 -- that is, less than a year before the end of the war in Europe, and months after the great Soviet military victories at Stalingrad and Kursk, which were decisive in Germany’s defeat. / 9

Reimar Horten said he mixed charcoal dust in with the wood glue to absorb electromagnetic waves (radar), which he believed could shield the aircraft from detection by British early warning ground-based radar that operated at 20 to 30 MHz, known as Chain Home.[6] A jet-powered flying wing design such as the Horten Ho 229 will have a smaller radar cross-section than conventional contemporary twin-engine aircraft. This is because the wings blended into the fuselage and there were no large propeller disks or vertical and horizontal tail surfaces to provide a typical identifiable radar signatu

Cool link. I have never seen that site
And
And yeah,I think it is probable that we will all get dragged into Americas mess. It sucks.

Second serbs shot down f-117 using russian sam's .
Britain was a storm away from getting invaded and occupied.
Even while we we were giving through the Lend lease act almost entire fleets, thousands of tanks, cannons and rifles.
Russia would be the only country to put in that statement. They beat on the Germans like pro's.
England helped by bombing at night, America bombed during the day. That is how England helped not lose their own war.
