We did have Germany's Scientists, how do you think we got to the moon? In my opinion Alexander Lippisch was far underated in Germany, his designs were brilliant and he lead the team of engineers who created some of the Worlds Fastest Aircraft and most pioneering aircraft,:

He is also the designer of the Komet, ruined by it's manafacturer Messerschmitt.


And perhaps his most famous project, the Mach 1+ Ramjet Delta, P.13a, the aircraft the the XF-92 was designed after:
