Strategic Bomber
Why didn't Germany have long range strategic bombers in WW2?
I think that the war on the eastern front would have turned out differently if they would have had long range bombers at the beginning of the war
They did. The Focke-Wulf Condor (FW200) was long range reconnaissance and maritime patrol aircraft which was ahead of its time when it first flew in 1937.
The civilian version was the first passenger plane to fly non stop between Berlin and New York. However its development was not supported by the Nazi Leadership, possible because they took great pride in the airship advantage they had until the Hindenburg disaster curtailed this.
The lead designer and only four engine specialist in Germany was Jewish so this again might have caused the Germans to concentrate their resources into what was effectively a medium Bomber force who's main task was close air support of troops.
