You must have watched “Ice Station Zebra”.
I was being somewhat sarcastic. I guess we’d need to ask the victorious leaders of the Allies as to why they allowed former Nazis to run the new government of Germany. U.S? Great Britain? France? Even the Russians, sworn enemies to the death of the Nazis? Hmmmm.
Hate to disagree, but the engineering technologies cited were a case of smart researchers coming up with the same answers independently to solve the same problems. Goddard was obsessively secretive about his New Mexico work in the ‘30’s, and no one has shown any evidence that Germany penetrated his work. Goddard hadn’t published any of his work since 1919. As for Von Braun’s comments, he had a habit of telling his bosses what they wanted to hear. If noting this is “German fanclub” chat, whatever.
