My pharmacist tells me most of the early major pharmacutical discoveries were made by Germans, and that he had to learn many of the formulas in German before becoming licensed.

Advanced rocketry was a result of German engineers, many of whom were captured by the Allies during WWII and were shielded by their captors from paying the price for what we considered "War Crimes".

If the Romans had "civilized" the Germans, the spark and sometimes madness that drives progress would probably have resulted in fewer miracle drugs, slower airplanes, and less efficient ways to deliver death from above.
