Russians if they wanted to take them out the only option was to use a tank and ram it from a side in order to destroy it's wheels and the belt to put it out of the fight. Germans also developed destructive rockets V-1 and ultimately V-2 and used them to rocket London all the way from Netherlands and that was something new on the battlefield. And much more. Both Soviet Union and the US when the war was over were desperate to locate and steal German intelligence/scientists and make them work for them

Jack Northrop was exploring flying wings around the same time and his became much more developed. Also, Jack Northrop's designs were mostly for bombers, and two of them actually got to production prototype stage (designated by a Y prefix instead of an X) while the only combat capable horten flying wing that reached the prototype stage was designed to be a fighter and was never tested with weapons for attacking ground targets. Northrop's flying wings were in competition with the then YB-36 Peacemaker and other conventional bomber designs. Unfortunately, the flying wing is difficult to fly without the not yet developed fly-by-wire controls at that time, which partly contributed to the more conventional designs being chosen for full production. There were two major prototypes from Northrop, one with propellers (meant to be a long range strategic bomber) and the other with jet engines (same airframe mostly, higher speed but much shorter range). One of them actually flew over DC at one point as part of a celebration (possibly 4th of July, forget the details). There were proposals for a horten flying wing bomber, but it was never fully designed, and the design proposals they had would not have been stealthy either (engines were mounted externally on pods similar to modern airliners).

@jayburn00

There was also the flying pancake by the way. Not exactly a flying wing, but it was inspired partly by the same ideas that originally inspired the flying wings of the WW2 period (achieving greater lift without greater drag). In some ways, it actually did better in this regard. Also, the flying pancake demonstrated that the allies were actually ahead in some aspects of aircraft technology: the Germans tried to develop a similar aircraft, but were unable to figure out how to unlock the benefits of that configuration while the US did. The solution was actually simple, involving the use of a pair of large counter rotating propellers spinning opposite to the direction of vortex drag. Interestingly, some official design documents took a page from da Vinci and have the propellers spinning the wrong direction.

Sorry to spoil the fun, but actually, no, they didn't build the worlds first stealth bomber. There's a really good video by a guy called Lazerpig which gives the reasons as to why. I'd advise checking that out instead.
