  1. I've already seen proximity fuses, radar and some other things from the Allies (mainly British inventions though), but British anti-submarine technology is also a very worthy mention. By '43-'44 they started making German subs just about obsolete. Very impressive feat in the Atlantic.

  2.  @Edax_Royeaux  If I recall correctly the US was far behind in jet tech and even after the war relied on British information to eventually develop their own stuff. Jet programmes of Britain and Germany were started long ago at that point, while the US still had a tiny military of mostly WW1 tech, so obviously those two had a massive head start. Same for the USSR, which relied on stealing jet tech from the UK to build their own (MiG-15 engine is f.e. just an enlarged version of a British engine they reverse engineered).
