There was a "flying saucer" program, but the prototypes were air-breathers using (more or less) conventional fuels. They never went to the Moon, but supposedly set (unrecognized) velocity and altitude records during test flight (this was late in the war) which exceeded the capabilities of all other craft for years to come.

Had Hitler not launched WWII in Europe, I don't doubt that von Braun would have orbited humans before 1950, reached the Moon by 1960, and reached Mars by 1970.

The always-entertaining David Hatcher Childress has claimed in print that Guglielmo Marconi and his secretive followers built interplanetary craft and colonized Mars.

It’s very possible that a German “flying saucer” program of the late 40’s was a U.S. disinformation program. Some sketches of a German saucer program were from the mid-50’s, well after Roswell, McMinnville, the Washington D.C. incidents, etc..

Interesting.
