Ever hear of Wernher von Braun? We wouldn't have Mercury, Gemini, or Apollo without him! Yeah he was a Nazi!

I remember the '50s battle cry (heard from the USA and the USSR): "Our Nazi scientists are better than your Nazi scientists!"

So what said the government. We were buddies with the murdering "Uncle Joe" Stalin under FDR, and then we took under our wing, the minions of Little Ade Hitler, Uncle Joe's former bosom buddy, in our new struggle against the Commies.

We were "shocked, shocked" to discover that Uncle Joe was trying to give us a royal screwing after the war, and we needed all the help we could get. I guess national interest calls for odious decisions. In any event both Hitler and Stalin killed millions. Some choice.

It's true. Germany was on the cutting edge on a lot of technology and we rightly ttook advantage of that.

Um, duh. Hired a lot of them. Needed their expertise to offset the Soviet threat. Sometimes realism is more important than idealism, especially when your survival is at issue.

Not only true but well documented, and to a reasonably large degree, acknowledged by the U.S. Government.

I thought this was a well known fact that our government has always been fairly straightforward about.

Sometimes they didn't even have to be "scientists"...any ol' Nazi would do. Klaus Barbie, "The Butcher of Lyon", was a captain in the German SS and Gestapo. In France, he personally tortured prisoners and was responsible for the deaths of approximately 4,000 people. After the war, with American help, he immigrated to Bolivia, and worked for both the British and the CIA.

No conspiracy there, well documented piece of history that they hired rocket scientists and it was probably a sound military decision. Bit of a moral dilemna though, but its not like they hired the mad scientists who were conductiing live subject medical experiments at the concentration camps.

Absolutely true, and some of them were pretty bad news. The movie House on Carrol Street dramatized a little bit of the controversy.
