I did not; I reacted solely to the list of blaze master; well, we agree that his list was very badly thought-through, if at all. I specifically mentioned the names of the coatings used; look it up. stealth airplanes would have been the next step... but we agree, the Ho229 was rather accidentally a stealth plane, more due to its form factor than previous planning, so would not count, even if it would have been built in numbers. And with regard to radar and submarines, seemingly you do not know this: "In WWII, radar alone could not detect fully submerged submarines; it was primarily used by aircraft to spot surfaced U-boats or exposed equipment. Because early submarines relied on diesel engines that required air, they spent most of the war on the surface charging batteries." Hence, the Kriegsmarine experimented with anti-radar coatings not just for aircraft, but also for submarines. Germany did not quite manage to create the first nuclear-powere submarines which would hav emade this superfluous indeed, but they were in the planning stage end of 1944. Funny enough, Heisneberg who did those plannings, got rather famous for his part in the Manhattan project, so you can bet that he would have gotten there on his own if Germany would not have been defeated (which I am not unhappy about, just to make that clear).
