Let's not mince words about von Braun. He was an officer in the SS and his weapons program used large amounts of slave labor. He was a Nazi. The US welcomed him and his team because we did not want the Russians to capture them. And yes, von Braun, like every other SS officer, definitely did not want to be captured by the Russians. I wonder why?
Von Braun was the father of the US rocket program, but a far more interesting person is the woman who thwarted his work at Peenemunde.
