Here at Sturgeon's House, it is our raison d'etre to bust the myth of Teutonic superiority surrounding German military equipment, industry, structure and strategy in World War 2 and beyond. As such, it surprised me that we didn't already have a thread devoted specifically to Nazi aviation. 
Until now.
For the time being, I intend to keep this introduction very short with only a short editorial on how it has always amazed me that Nazi Germany, with such a head start in terms of military spending prior to the start of hostilities, and with the entire resources of Europe at its disposal, lagged not only behind the United States in aircraft production and quality but also the island nation of Great Britain which spent the first third of the war under a U-boat blockade as well as the Soviet Union which either outright lost or had to move the preponderance of its factories, workers and manufacturing equipment. 
That is until one actually looks at how German industry worked.
This silent film shows the production of the Messerschmidt Bf 108 "Taifun", built in Bavaria, in the 1930s. And while Germany had not ratcheted up to wartime production and presumably more efficient manufacturing shortcuts were eventually adopted, there is little reason to doubt that the basic manufacturing techniques portrayed in this film were still used throughout the war. 
In the film you'll see the lack of a modern production line. Airplanes and their parts were built in place, often from the ground up. You'll see workers lazily wandering back and forth between parts bins as they lovingly, handcrafted these machines, fitting each part into place. Presumably skilled workers will finish installing a part and then stop what they are doing in order to physically pick up a part of the airplane in order to move it to another work station.
At the 1:20 mark, a worker uses a standard bandsaw to cut a part, using his Mark 1 eyeball as the only calibration instead of having a jig in place to make the cut.
At the 2:00 mark, superior Teutonic craftsman use sledgehammers of the like wielded by Thor himself to pound sheet metal body panels into shape.
Workers stoop and fetch pieces of sheet metal and push them on handcarts around the factory. Elsewhere, you'll see the same worker stop one project at a work station to jump to the next in order to accomplish a different task. Everywhere you see waste, inefficiency and sloth. The Bavarian Aircraft Factory more resembles a community college metal shop class than a plant meant to supply war machinery to the most powerful military on the planet at that time.
All in all, it is a wonder that the Germans were able to build as many planes as they did if this news footage is any indication of their manufacturing prowess.
 

Yeah, that was such a problem with my maus. I was so sick of people just lolpenning my upper plate with tier 8 medium tanks snapshotting from 500m away.
 
I am bad@tonks, buff my favorite Wehraboo garbage tractors pls.

uh excuse me Blade Runner had replicants not androids

That guy who shot up the gay nightclub in Orlando was Afghan, and they also constitute a significant amount of the refugees that are causing headaches to the Germans as well. To be honest, they should not be accepted as refugees now by anyone. This isn't 2001, Afghanistan is not a warzone anymore the way Syria is right now.

From Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Egypt? Yeah 

As I understand it, this is the US's vetting process for refugees

1) Without Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan on the list, it cannot be a serious measure against terrorism, and is thus entirely pointless.
 
2)
Do you have any idea at all how much broader the list should be in that case?

Why only those countries? Why not Egypt? Where did the terrorists who conducted 9/11 come from? Why are Chechens allowed in?

Neat.

Wikipedia's list of unsuccessful terrorist attacks in the US don't include any citizens from any of the 7 countries fwiw 
 
Oh, the Minnesota Mall stabbing was also done by a Somali immigrant. So that's 2 attacks total with 0 deaths. 

Saudi Arabia, the unlisted Gulf States, and Pakistan are the serious exporters of Salafi Jihadism and are all excluded. 
 
As noted earlier, the immigrants/refugees from the 7 listed nations have killed exactly 0 people in terror attacks.  
 
Afghanistan, Egypt, and Nigeria have ISIS territory and are excluded, so that last point seems really arbitrary.

I'm fairly sure there's been only one terrorist attack (the recent OSU stabbing attack) on American soil that's perpetrator was a national of one of the 7 nations that were included in the ban. 
 
The lack of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, to me, shows that the ban isn't serious in fighting terrorism and is more of a pandering move towards his base.

This is on the fizziks side of things, but like all theoretical physics it also runs well into mathematics, and so I am posting it here as a nice illustration of how blurred the line between math and physics is:
