hell the germans built a b2 bomber before there was a b2 bomber

while similar in appearance the main point of the b2 is stealth...the ho229 however barely had any effect of radar signature.
i remember watching the documentary where they rebuilt one for testing...its hard to say if the stealth benefits where accidental or not though.
