Heli's really weren't common, though the Germans did make a prototype heli that, if I recall correctly, was more like an Osprey than your average helicopter.

The short story is that the Germans invented a helicopter which was an excellent way of moving troops around. So the Army and the Air Force argued for months who gets to use this nice thing ("it moves troops, it's ours! - no, it flies, it's ours!"). This was 1944, so in the end it didn't matter.

I bet some Army dog pulled out the line
