That and long range multi engine bombers either. The technological side of his wermacht though put many weapons at his feet that he disregarded that could have been decisive. His navy was in the process of developing an aircraft carrier, again too late. The ME-262jet airplane could have been put into service years before and the missile program only got slight attention, as did the jets and upgrades to his submarine force when necesity opened his, way too late.

We could have failed miserably at Normandy if his advisors weren't afraid to wake him before eleven in the morning and let the panzer corps loose that they had at Calais waiting for Patton and his imaginary army. ( Read "Hoodwinking Hitler" about the whole plan that made the krauts believe there was a massive army waiting to go to Calais complete wioth fake radio and how they carried it out, fascinating)
