Would you like a paper from Boeing summing up the German contribution to aerodynamics during WWII? I am sure you will hate it and be very disappointed.
You do know the father of modern fluid dynamics was not only German, there are pictures of him with von Kármán in the article.
Do you have a clue who Theodore von Kármán is and his role during the war?
The leading academics in aeronautical sciences were for the most part, colleagues and all knew each other before the war. Theodore von Kármán, the leading US scientist in aerodynamics, was a student of Ludwig Prandtl.
