In the 1940s the Nazi German aviation engineers developed the first working Jet engines and planes. There were a few that flew in combat. Many of the jets they produced sat and were never used because the war ended. The US, Brits and Russians grabbed the technology and the planes. They also were able to get the engineers too. However, the jet engine was patented by a British engineer long before the Germans developed the jet engine. See related question below.
Edit; Sir Frank Whittle was the first to realise that the power of an engine was primarily based on how much oxygen it could ingest. This led him to invent the jet engine and the Germans, having read of his design pre-war, lost no time turning it to their advantage.
What else can I help you with?
When were jet engines invented in World War 2?

What were jet engines used for in ww1 and World War 2?
The jet engine was not used in World War 1 because it was not developed until World War 2 by the German Luftwaffe Nazis. They used the fast Jets as fighter jets. There were not many used because their jet plane had problems and they had no methods of dealing with the G Forces. The pilots were not well versed in using jets yet and they struggled using the ones that were built. The US, UK and the USSR did grabbed up the jet technology when the war ended.The jet engine was invented by Frank Whittle (first one ran in April 1937, patent granted in 1932), at roughly the same time von Ohain in Germany came up with the same idea but his early versions couldn't run under their own power (and therefore don't qualify as jet engines) - the first German jet engine ran in September 1937. The Heinkel 178 was the first jet fighter to fly but the RLM (German Air Ministry) decided that jet aircraft weren't needed and cancelled the programme.The Germans and the British had jet fighters in service (Me 262 and Meteor).The claim that "The US, UK and the USSR did grabbed up the jet technology when the war ended" is slightly misleading in that all of those natioSavens already had their own jet engines and were developing them more, but ex-German technology was looked at.
