So let me see if I understand your logic correctly..

Your saying the Germans were capable of making flying saucers because the Germans had made jets and rockets

Is that the jist of it?

Based on that logic the USA was also capable of making flying saucers..

WRT ROCKETS
Because Robert Goddard was making and flying rockets back in the 1920s. As a mater of fact many of Robert Goddards inventions (patents) ended up on the V2. Von Braun himself said

von Braun, reflecting on the history of rocketry, said of Goddard: "His rockets … may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles

WRT JETS
Consider this.. it took the Germans years to work out the bugs in the Me262. Where as it only took months for the USA to build one (P80) once they were tasked to do so. I know a lot of folks belive the Me262 was 'delayed' due to Hitler wanting to convert it into a bomber.. but that is just not the case. Or would you have us belive it took the Germans a couple of years to figure out how to install bomb racks on the Me262? Silly right? Thus the fact of the mater is the jet engines were the core problem, so big a problem that the Germans were forced to convert the Me262 from a straight wing design to a swept wing design to shift the cg back due to the heavier than expected engines. I know I know a lot of folks also belive the Me262 was not only the first jet but the first swept wing design.. but that is not the case either. The wings were swept back to correct the cg

In summary, I think your logic is flawed upon closer inspection
