A good proof of this is the comparison with WW1: In 1914 all nations in Europe were more or less equally prepared for the war, and what happened? They got all more or less stuck in the middle of the way between them, Belgium. Yes WW1 was different in many aspects, but ultimately it was a more balanced clash than WW2 ever was. WW2 saw a dominant germany at the beginning and a dominant allies at the end. There was almost never a balance, unlike in WW1, and hence the forth-and-back nature of WW2, as opposed toe the static nature of WW1.

Not a chance. The jet engine technology they were developing was never close to being reliable by war's end, much less 1942.

That is because the leadership didn't take enough interest in it back in 1939.
