... more "borrowed" German-tech courtesy of Dr. Alexander Lippisch.
From the Lippisch DM-1/P.13 we got the XF-92, F-102, F-106, and B-58.

On that basis the V-2 was built using borrowed US technology.

Right... Germany got it's rocketry from Oberth, not Goddard:

BTW, the Allies had no equivalent to the V-2 and most every other
German missile design.
Postwar it was German tech that made the US and USSR superpowers...
unless you still believe a lone bomber-dropped A-bomb could sustain
that status. As a matter of fact 85% of our current weapon systems are
derived from technology of the Second and Third Reichs.
Then there is also the space programs of the US and USSR
It is so unbelievable to read this nonsense about the "USA invented
everything" crap. If it wasn't for Germany and two World Wars (which
you guys hate so much) the US would just be some second-rate regional
power still playing games with Mexico and central America.

And if it were not for that second World War (which you apparently don't
hate in and of itself, instead just not particularly caring for the outcome)
we'd be goosestepping and sending our special students to the ovens instead
of special education classes in public schools. Thank goodness things did
not turn out as you would have hoped.
