Hell, if it wasnt for the Germans, we would have never had the technology to spy on the russians by 1950.
The Germans gave us the Schnorkal (sp) which in turn allowed diesel boats to run underwater full time. After WWII, we ended up with a few german boats with them. But then again, so did the Russians.
I guess our first test of the Snorkal went terribly wrong, and the Cochino sank to the bottom of the sea (around 950 feet i think..) I guess water flooded in through the snorkal, shorted out the batteries, causing them to arc, causing them to explode, causing the boat to become filled with poisonous gas.
