Oh, calm down. History wouldn't matter if we didn't build off of the work of others. Each person would have to reinvent the wheel for him/herself.
Germany experimented with it, and the U.S. double-checked to see if Germany had missed any potential. In the end, both projects failed anyway.

The use was so that aircraft would not need runways. The end of ww2 Germany was being bombed around the clock, including their airfields and a fighter plane that would not need a runway and be able to get airborne quickly was high on the list to put into production. Today it is no diferent, the ability to land in areas under fire without the expence of long strips that would be a target for terriorist etc.

It's true, and the only natural response to the collapse of the Third Reich. Operation Paperclip was a brilliant idea. I just wish they'd made more research into some of the more trippy ideas the scientists of das Vaterland, like say, the Silbervogel Amerikabomber - a plane that is designed to go above the stratosphere and then glide half way around the globe, "bouncing" on the upper layers of the atmosphere - brilliantly sci-fi-esque !

Operation Paperclip ... ( 1 month ago by fernfeyes)
Operation Paperclip comes to mind where Nazi scientists were given priority to come to the U.S. after the war. The German rocket scientists cut a deal with the U.S. because they didn't want to get captured by the Russians. Many rocket parts were captured/stolen(?) along with much technical information..that's history and fact.

No doubt the Germans had some smart engineers. So did the Americans, but we had a war to win so our focus was on production techniques and new designs of known, producable (sp?) technology. Winning the war was more important than wasting effort on designs that wasted resources and couldn't be maintained in the field. I'd say it worked.
And you bet the Germans came to work for us. The only other option was the Russians and they HATED Germans !
BTW Von Braun was a genius !

Its true german/nazi engineers contributed to American aerospace but not because we "stole" them. That's just laughable. 1. Allies won the war. 2. Germany wasn't even allowed to do anything after Geneva. Did we steal Einstein too? hahaha.

France "borrowed" German engineers as well, who reluctantly helped to develop the Mirage III's engine (SNECMA Atar 9). But they didn't invent delta wings.
