The Me262 experts (STORMBIRDS) that build reproductions of the Me262 don't say what the people who belive the Germans were supermen assisted by aliens say they are saying

The Me 262 was a stunning design triumph, and the influence of the plane can still be seen in contemporary combat aircraft. Swept wings, automatic slats, modular construction ... all were leading advances for the time.

While the Allies preferred to copy from the very advanced German projects because they already had some experience with jet power, the Soviets had no such experience.
