During the Second World War, German science and technology posed a terrifying threat to the Allied nations. Combined with Germany's generations-old reputation for excellence in science and engineering, these advanced weapons, which included rockets, V-2 missiles, tanks, submarines, and jet airplanes, gave troubling credence to Nazi propaganda about forthcoming 'wonder-weapons' that would turn the war decisively in the Axis favor. After the war ended, the Allied powers raced to seize 'intellectual reparations' from almost every field of industrial technology and academic science in occupied Germany. It was likely the largest-scale technology transfer in history.
