[edit] Fighter/bombers, wherefore art thou?

Why aren't fighter/bombers listed here? Perhaps, this list should be called Strategic Bombers rather than just Bombers.

The Stuka is listed but not the Me-262, the first jet-powered fighter/bomber. (The British were designing a jet fighter of their own and actually had them into a production, tho, like its German counterpart, it saw little action.) Originally designed as an interceptor/fighter, Hitler insisted it be modified to carry bombs (as he did most German fighters). A very fortunate thing for the Allies during Overlord!

If there's an article on the Me-262, I'm going to add it to the list of German bombers.
