As luck would have it, we were more than happy to commandeer those brilliant minds and put them to work, post-Berlin.

What technology? Jet engines on planes, which Hitler undervalued, misused and ignored? Dumb ballistic missiles that could not be targetted on strategic targets and had pathetically small warheads? Nuclear weapons, the program that was essentially deprioritized early in the war and was absolutely nowhere near completion? Longer-range submarines, which were crippled by Doenitz's centralized control requirements when Enigma had been cracked?

By 1944 nothing was going to save the Germans except the atomic bomb, and they didn't have it, and weren't even trying hard to get it.
