Throughout World War 2 the Germans during were much more advance in a technological aspect through. After the war many of Germany's scientist went to work around the world create much of modern technology. Even though many German Scientist were capture by the allies of WW2, none of the scientist, or equipment was captured by the Allies. At the end of the war, Werner Von Braun famously surrendered himself, and his team to the American, as well as other documents, which were considered retrograde technologies compared to flying saucers. Also, Werner Von Braun was nothing compared to Fritz von Opel or Eugen Sanger.
Numerous studies have been done, looking at how different militaries have utilized technology through history. But if one country stands out above the rest as being technologically superior, compared to their adversaries, in the modern era, Nazi Germany. However, they had a policy which actually limited how much technology they could bring to production for combat. Even though the evilest regime seemed like the most technologically advanced, they kept their newest inventions a secret, with a military doctrine stating, they could not deploy any weapon they themselves had an answer for. Only when a reliable defense against a new weapon, then did they bring a weapon into production for combat. This way if their new technology fell into enemy hands on the battle fields, there would already be a suitable defense.
With the new secret technology, you don't risk it by using it too early, especially if you have a small population. You retreat, regroup, and rethink, just like the Spaniards had to do, to retake Iberia from the Moors. For the Germans it was only common sense, with half the world against them.
