So you say they had "no grasp". They had built and put into
naval service in 1943 the Fletner Fl 282 Kolibri (hummingbird)
intermeshing rotor helicopter which was entirely succesfull
despite the technology of gearbox designe.

So you're comparing a small helicopter with two fixed rotors and a
simple fixed gearbox with a full-up tiltwing aircraft?

In hovering fligh it has the same control configuration as a tilt
rotor in hovering flight.

Exactly.

Comparing a simple helicopter to a workable tilt-wing is just plain
stupid.
