Actually a good deal of prewar and wartime German technology was badly
flawed. Innovative, but flawed. Much of it was very difficult to produce and
in some cases, tnaks for example some qualities such as relaibility were
sacrifieced for armor and armament, a situation that makes a great defensive
weapon as long as you don't plan to drive more than a 100 klicks at a time
before major repairs. Tank engines and drive trains were pitfully weak for
the weight of the vehicles for which they were intended, many German tanks
were lost through breakdowns, rather than combat losses. The Me-163 while a
technical achievement of a sort was a bizarre waste of time, money, manpower
and material that could have better used elsewhere. see Top Secret Bird: The
Luftwaffe's Me-163 Comet by Wolfgang Spate and Mike Machat who were involved
in the project.
The Germans also discarded the atomic bomb as "Jewish science". They seem to
have been much better theoreticians than manufacturers. it took American know
how to turn the theories into practical engineering.

Yeah they just wanted to change Jewish people to dead people.
