I am supposed to argue against this?
Einstein was teaching where before Hitler came to power...Von Braun was from what country again...as previousily stated Hitlers antisemiticism caused a lot of sceintific talent to emigrate to America and Britain. However before WW2 Germany was the technological leader in the world. German was the language of science...back in the day...even into the 1970;s when you bought a car it was German engineering that was touted.
As stated Hitler ordered the ceasation of development of new fighter aircraft in 1941, as he thought the war was already won. Thus that cost the Germans technical superiority. However not only did Germany field the ME 262, but the first rocket powered fighter ME 363...and jet bomber the Arado and pusher puller prop driven Donier...then we come to the V2...and first cruise missle the V1.
Had Hitler continued with the development of the bomb after 1942 it would have been a race to see who got it first..
