...Werhner von Braun. He was a scientist and apolitical by nature.

Yeah, it didn't bother him a bit that slave labor was being worked to hideaus deaths from exhaustion to produce the rockets that were being used to bomb England and with luck, murder the rest of the world.

He was only interested in the science and technology.

He was above it all.

Apolitical? Or psychopathic? Where is the difference with Nazism?

Seig Heil, fool.

I never knew von Braun sang with the Vienna Boys Choir.

An excellent read on this subject is Planet Dora.

In addition to slave labor, thousands starved because so many potatoes were diverted to fermentation to produce ethanol to fuel the V-2s.

When you read history there are different opinions about the facts. von Braun and his rocket scientists and technicians surrendered to the allied and were not charged with war crimes. They were brought to the United States and worked with the Army to develop the military rockets that the US wanted, needed and developed.

Eisenhower and LBJ formed NASA and von Braun and his rocket engineers took us from Explorer 1 to the Moon.

I am a member of the National Space Society that was formed by von Braun and Dr Gerald O'Neil whose book the High Frontier forms the basis for us to proceed Ad Astra!

Believe what you will but don't "seig heil me"
