    The Nazis still built the first functioning rocket weapon and the first manmade object in space.

      first functioning rocket weapon

      Chinese warfare had included rockets for centuries.

      Americans and soviets had militarized rockets before WW2 (for ex. Katyusha on Wikipedia).

      first manmade object in space

      Define being in space.

      The V2 barely grazed the edge of space, it didn’t have the power to actually escape the Earth’s gravitational péll.

      Sputnik is the first object to actually be in space.

      The Nazis …

      You should be wary that nazi glazing has effects. Thanks to their lasting propaganda, people really believe they were a high tech empire that surpassed the rest of the world in every domain, triumph of the will style. Still to this day it helps fascism’s image as the “clean high tech” way that surpasses the rest in the mind of too many people. Don’t contribute to that for a simple gotcha. Even if you’re right, it’s not worth it.
