Or Hitler's demand for a jet bomber which forced Messerschmitt to hang bomb racks on the Me-262

Apparently, their insistence that new types be capable of dive bombing delayed and compromised many new designs, including the jet powered Arado bomber. It's interesting to note that the Nazis engaged in typical "Pointy Haired Boss" behavior. (Of course, the US did the same with the Space Shuttle and is now doing the same with the Senate Launch System.)
