Actually, most of the German achievements you enumerate are either prototypes or copies of other devices, mostly American. I do agree with the estimation of the 88mm. however.

"Actually, most of the German achievements you enumerate are either prototypes or copies of other devices, mostly American."

How so?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some Nazi worshipping revisionist, but, prototypes are inventions and derivations are inventions also.

Who invented radio? Marconi or Tesla?

The point is that American strengths laid in the industrial capacity behind the armed forces. In the realm of stretching the envelope, the Germans led the way.

Perhaps the greatest goal of the post war situation was to cature or recruit German technical minds.
