A peek under the cowling of a WW II German fighter plane will convince you that a LOT of the components are similar. The Germans were first with a lot of technical innovations at the time and why re- invent the wheel? A primitive version of the K jet used in OBs was the first FI used in a production fighter and it out performed the spitfires the British used in certain maneuvers when the Spitfires floats in the float bowls failed due to G forces and choked the engine. (trivia buffs take note)

German Aircraft were technologically advanced, however, they were too few in number and required levels of maintenance excessive by military standards and required great numbers of mechanics to keep them in the air. (sound familiar?)

Look at the fittings, the wiring, the lines and the streamlined styling. These things are part Mesherschmit, Part Fokke Wulf, and Part Junker. OK some are more Junker than others.

Fascinating stuff.
