Actually the future was foreseen. The US Congress never ratified the treaty of Versailles because they felt the sanctions put on Germany were over restrictive. Germany's only viable would be to break the treaty and gear for war just to be able to have a viable economy. Some historians even consider WW1 and WW2 the same war, but with a break. Or WW1 was a "prelude" to WW2. The B-17 bomber: In 1932 when the Army wanted to replace the Pacific bomber force, amongst the specs they wanted, was a requirement that the aircraft could take off from an airbase in England, fly to Berlin, and return.

I do understand that the German people may not have foreseen the future.
