You know, Jaden could actually have a much better point if more of those documents and "technologies" were saved.
Apparently a fair amount of stuff is still under closed and unused patents that were taken from Germany by the allies at the end of the war so a lot of documentation does exist but noone's allowed access or to further develop it.
I couldn't tell you which of the 300,000 or so patents taken were used or for what purposes but I presume it would be specific componets from rockets in the space race and things of that nature.
