I would imagine there were a lot of behind the scenes ‘discussions’ with certain high rankings or valuable abilities. Deals were probably cut. Many Germans feared capture or imprisonment from the Soviets. They knew the score there. Yea, there were a lot of people looking to cut that deal.

Technologically the U.S looted more from Germany than the U.S.S.R. Way more. Rocketry, Jet engines, Nuclear, encryption, radar, radio, medical.

Our German rocket scientists were way better than the Russians. Heck, they never did figure out how to build anything like a Saturn V.

With the brutality, enormous casualties and mass murder of civilians in the East, every German wanted to end up in the hands of Americans or Brits.

What nonsense is this? The USA broke the Germans encryption, ENIGMA. They never broke ours, SIGABA.

We already had radar as did the Brits.

What radio?

What medical?

It was policy to keep as much technical material as possible out of Soviet hands.

When Japan fell the US took possession of a few I-400s, the massive sub that had a float plane hanger. When the Soviets let be be known they were sending technicians to inspect the subs the US towed them out to deep water and sunk them.
