I mentioned my father and the Royal Engineers, his duty in Germany at latter stages of the war for a reason. His unit were deployed on several missions, they, with US forces liberated one of the concentration camps. Another, more secretive mission resulted in my father falling from the back of an army truck. Because of the secret nature of the mission they were on, had just ended, he was unable to be flown home for treatment immediately. This caused long term problems for him. You are correct, a great deal of modern technologies have their beginnings with Germany from the 1940's, carried thru to allied forces under 'Paperclip'.
