germany's influence on america in the world war 2, explain what
america had to do in order to keep up with germany's new technolodgy

what we had to do to save poland's and europe's butts, what new stuff
we had to pull out of our hatts in order to keep up at least with
germany's vast power.

America did not keep up with German technology. The USA had worse
tanks, worse aircraft, worse machine guns ... but they had more of
everything. Mass beats class. Fortunately.

Scriptor

Only real area where The States kept up and exceeded German war
technology was in atom bomb research and production. Various stories
as to why Germany did not vigorously pursue the technology are
attributed to Hitler being disinclined to believe that a Jew
(Einstein) could be an authority; and that Heisenberg etc
procrastinated.

In retrospect, bearing in mind the expense of personnel and material
in the Manhattan Project, it should have been obvious that Germany did
not have the wherewithal, but paranoia can lead America up the
occasional gum tree ;-|

Well, Britain shared its technology with the US, long before America
entered the war.

Britain had superiority with its Cavity Magnetron which took radar
into a higher realm.

Also, there were exchanges on Ultra/Magic which helped both parties.

The Atom Bomb played no part in the defeat of Germany.

Certainly, when the Allies invaded France on D-Day, they were much
better prepared for invasion (with landing craft, etc.) than the
Germans had been when they toyed with invading Britain in 1940.

In the end, Germany was simply out-gunned with Russia with its vast
manpower on one side and the US with its vast resources on the other.

Also, with contributions from Britain, Canada, Poland, Australia ...

i think he is un-patriotic and we in order to win the war, had to
develop new military items. witch we did
