    Was this baby really in action or just a protoype?

    Surely no allied fighter could mess with this one...

    Anything is voulnerable at some point.

    The Ar234 could fly faster and higher than any allied fighter.

    Read this.

    I believe they even were part of the Remagen raids.

    Granted they both didn't fare well as divebombers.

    yeah they took part in the remagen raid

    but i believe that they where more designed for photo reconnaissance missions

    and later where adapted for dive bombing ground targets and attacking allied bombers.

    supposed to attack the B 29 superfortress at great alltitude also if the war had progressed further
