You will be hard pressed to see any aspects of the Me 262 designs being used in post war FIGHTERS.

Sorry, but that's what you asked. Not unique aspects but
any.
So jet engines it is and swept wings. Because that what it was the first swept wing jet fighter in combat service.
It don't even matter for what reason it was.

Well, we can start by ascertaining that the various high - speed trials with the Me 262 proved without a doubt the advantage of the swept wing over the straight wing

High speed trial proved the advantage of...
So latest when the thing flew they knew.
But then there's still the question of the inner wing.

And the high speed wind tunnel testing the Germans were working on was for planes flying faster than that.. Which is why they did not immediately make the connection that a swept wing is beneficial at sub sonic speeds.

Where did you get that from? One of your expert assumptions to fit into your narrow minded view as usual?

Hubert Ludewieg of the High-Speed Aerodynamics Branch at the AVA Göttingen in 1939 conducted the first wind tunnel tests to investigate Busemann's theory.[2] Two wings, one with no sweep, and one with 45 degrees of sweep were tested at Mach numbers of 0.7 and 0.9 in the 11 x 13 cm wind tunnel. The results of these tests confirmed the drag reduction offered by swept wings at transonic speeds.[2] The results of the tests were communicated to Albert Betz who then passed them on to Willy Messerschmitt in December 1939. The tests were expanded in 1940 to include wings with 15, 30 and -45 degrees of sweep and Mach numbers as high as 1.21.

Another one of your very own myths goes down the drain.

But you just have to keep chipping away at the German were supermen stone each and every chance you get!

Nope, I just look at
all the data around and make an informed opinion for myself.
You look at
one little part of data around, make an uninformed and biased opinion, repeat it a thousand times like a little child to make sure it becomes the 'truth', create other myths and spread misinformation (as above) and bring in Americans who were the real super-heroes.
Repeat after me:
V2, first ballistic missile, ahead of its time
Me 262, first swept wing jet fighter in service, ahead of its time
