This is post WWII... but you are pretty much right although the USSR could've had jet fighters before Germany but Stalin belived the war will be won by regular air fighters and killed hes inventors.
Too bad no one bought that jet because it is a masterpiece

@djslickphd. I know, a lot of the things said in these documentaries are not true, but when I tried to change them they told me they were just trying to "simplify" the story for the viewers. What a crock!

if i remember it was also bassed on the lockhead star fighter body, im sure like most fighters they could of made changes to use it as a attack plane aswell

It was supersonic!

VJ stood for Versuchsjäger "Trial Fighter" not for Vertikal ;-)

political reasons. the vj101 was a pure fighter, but they wanted a multirole aircraft. So they developed the VFW VAK 191B vtol multirole fighter with italy. When italy left the project, germany cancelled it and joined the mrca project, which became later the Tornado aircraft.
the germans in wwII inventer almost everything
