I was doing some research for German experimental pics, and I stumbled across this:

J8M Shusui Sword Stroke (Komet)

For those of you who do not know that is the German Komet interceptor rocket of late WWII, in Japan.

Also this German cousin in Japan:

Me 262

This was a geniune shock to me, how did Japan get the jet engine tech, and the expertise to make these aircraft? I assume that Germany submarined them to Japan towards the end of the war, along with the desgins. Does anyone have anymore on Japanese projects?
