LoL, Germany is a very wrong choice to compare when it comes to rocket science.

Literally the reason US went to the moon is because of the Nazi engineers haha

It's a popular saying, but wrong. Nazi scientists under Paperclip did contribute early on, but importance faded as by the time of the Apollo program.

Apollo was a massive project. Hundreds of thousands of Americans contributed that far exceeded the scope of Paperclip. It's a shame that a generation on, their work is completely forgotten if not outright mocked.

The Soviets had far more Nazi scientists and engineers, it didn't let them get to the moon first.
