Not at all.
The jet powered German Heinkel he 178 first flew on 27 August 1939.
The V-1's first powered trial was on 10 December 1942.

no because the V1 wasn't used until 1943, and germany had developed and flown the first jet aircraft in 1939

Nope. The Germans and English had both beaten the V-1 to the draw.
