What first-class technology? All the major powers had innovative engineers, in the west largely working for private corporations. Germany wasted a lot of war production on whiz-bang gizmos that showed some innovation but suffered from major bugs. The Allies tended to better control of production, keeping prototypes in the prototype stage longer, and producing more useful machinery in greater numbers, the winning strategy.
Please keep in mind that the land of BMW and Mercedes produced a basically horse-drawn army, and German tanks tended to break down frequently and stay down longer than Allied tanks. We marvel at the ME262, but the Meteor could have been brought on line sooner if the same production strategy had been used. Possibly the only major technologic advantage the Germans had was in the choice of FM instead of AM radios in many tactical uses, and that technology was not a secret, just a choice.

there is not any question that the technologies that the German's possessed in WW2 replaced into enhanced. it is the place the difficulty starts off in between the excuses they lost the conflict. the attention to element and sophisticated equipment left them with mulitple provider issues on the battlefield. The complicated designs of each thing from pistols to tanks and directing money to technologies that have been way forward of their time proved to be a logistical nightmare as quickly as the bombing of Germany began. The V2 rockets and Me262 developement absorbed the type of huge source they have been left guiding artillery with horses.

Just picked up a book today called "Hitler's Gift, The True Story of the Scientists Expelled by the Nazi Regime". Haven't read it yet, but it looks like something that could give you some answers. Chapters include "German Science Before Hitler", "The Coming of the Nazis", and "Those Who Stayed".

The founder of IBM had a hand in it, as well as George W. Bush's relatives
