[quote=4plexowner]”some of whom were ardent Nazis”
some of the history I have read about Werner von Braun and his crew is that they were openly Nazis even after coming to America – had the Swastika on display, etc [/quote]
4plex: Like I said, I wound up researching Operation Paperclip for this school report and, while I don’t remember specific names, there were members of the group that had been implicated in Nazi “science” (as in on people) experiments during WWII.
I remember that it offended my dad deeply, as he and my uncle had fought in WWII. We were of German descent, and so my grandma insisted that my dad and uncle join the Marines (meaning that they’d be fighting against the Japanese in the Pacific and not killing Germans in Europe) and my grandma had left Germany in 1935 due to the Nazis.
Which leads us back to the old saw about behind every great nation lie great crimes.
