My father worked at Redstone Arsenal (from the mid 60s to the early 80s) and knew many of the these German scientists including Von Braun. Dad always said they were brilliant and happy as hell to be Americans.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Some of the rhetoric around here can get nauseating after a while.

I honor those scientists who came here, adopted themselves as Americans and put us on the moon and beyond.

Thanks ohioman, I don’t doubt it. During his teens, Von Braun had a pen pal (also interested in rocketry and space) here in Grand Rapids.
