    I’m pretty sure Stalin and his secret police didn’t give them a choice.

    When they captured a B-29 Superfortress they set up a special program to duplicate it right down to patch covering a hole in the fuselage. With special telephone lines leading directly to Stalin and all the design shops. Anyone who fucked up went to the gulag.
