Well more broadly the US had to adapt far reaching initiatives that were close to National Socialism to win the war. You had governments controlling everything through rationing, cracking down on war desent, domestic spying yada yada.
And following the war the importation of German scientists and specialists continuing working under those same initiatives bleed into and influenced those programs, that they became the same things the US fought against. The American space race was a continuination of the German rocket program, for example.
I'm wondering what some of the smart people on this forum feel about this theory
These are the people who think every last German baby should be boiled alive and the nation handed over to the jews or been colonized by Africans. The only thing I want to hear from their mouths are the pleas for mercy as they're being executed.
