I don't know about the San Fran thing, but I do know that they were working on Atomic bombs as well (BTW, many of "our" guys who developed it were from Germany). They DID however, successfully launch a (I think) V2 rocket from a submarine.
I also know they had working jet fighters in I think 1939, but Heinkle was on the outs with Hitler, so he didn't get the contract, and they waited till ME came up with them.
I am a bit of a history buff myself.
In fact Germany and othe rAxis and Allies were in development of Jet Craft before and during WW2. Germany was the first, but they also had several aircraft that just didnt go a damn bit of anywhere.
