Germany's B-29

The Messerschmitt Me-265 was a strategic bomber developed under the "Amerika Bomber" programme. It does look strangely similar to the Superfortress:
Me.264 AMERICA

Heres a really detailed picture of this design. seems only one prototype was made and it was damaged by allied air raids in July 1944.
There's a good list of the various test flights and the comments included at the end:
