I dare say that the personnel involved in Operation Paper Clip,
whose job it was was to glean as much of German rocket
technology, including people and hardware, would be greatly
surprised at this fallacious and anti historical claim.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip
has a good
summary, so that you don't make more historical whoppers.
A lot of German military technology was not only first rate, but
was then cutting edge; jet and rocket propulsion, heavy tanks,
semi automatic infantry weapons ( See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG44;
Generally accepted as the world's
first assault rifle, the StG44's effect on post-war arms design was
wide-ranging, as evidenced by Mikhail Kalashnikov's famous AK-47,
and later in the U.S. M16 and its variants.), and many others.
