I think a large portion why people are attracted to Luftie '46 planes is related to the actual technical advances Germany made during the war.

I don't actually think that's right. It's the perceived technological advances or more to the point, the mystique of Nzi Germany and the conspiracy theory it generates that creates this aura of German wizardry. Now I must agree they had some sensational ideas, but bear in mind the vast majority of these plans were no more than speculative drawings put under the nose of Technisches Amt and promptly discarded as impractical, wasteful, and just plain daft. Also, since our records of that development are incomplete (damage from allied action, retention and suppression of data by the Soviet Union, or simply destruction by retreating German staff) the mystery is more pointed - just what were the Germans working on?

As for the Allies, they weren't all that far behind. The problem with German designs is that they often relied on experimental solutions to problems rather than applied and developed practice, so they bogged themselves down with development programs that got nowhere.

There are other things to consider. The Germ,ans were developing a whole plethora of guided and unguided missiles (such as the A10, a missile twice the length of the V2, or what about a guided ground to air missile that resembled a SAM of the later era? They had test fired a number of those before the wars end)
