Watching the Moon landing 50 years ago from his comfortable Paris home, Yves Beon could barely contain himself at the spectacle unfolding on TV.
Dozens of white-shirted scientists and engineers at the Apollo Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, were on their feet, many waving flags, cheering at a triumph that was enhancing American prestige and unleashing an ocean of apple-pie patriotism.
Yet Beon, a hero of the French Resistance, was spitting venom at the screen that night and, had he been alive to see last week’s documentaries repeating the footage of Neil Armstrong’s ‘giant leap for mankind’, his reaction would have been incandescent.
Amid the jubilation half a century ago, no one bothered to point out that America’s scientists had been given a huge helping hand. Or that the Moon landing was, in fact, the brainchild of German scientists led by Wernher von Braun, Kurt Debus and Arthur Rudolph. Or that all three were Nazi war criminals, guilty of mass murder.

A Leftist tactic. It’s an Islamic tactic too. Rewrite all good and factual news with inferences mentioning Nazis.
They think they are gaining traction with this old propaganda technique.
Leveling the playing field? What have they accomplished? They haven’t landed on the moon.
No, they are plants who write these articles in major circulation media, it’s what they hope to achieve. The overthrow of civilization, imprisonments and death of innocent citizens.
They are the ones who were the allies of the Nazis! During WW2.
A historical fact. They figure keep trying to paint everything Nazi to demoralize people.
It’s not going to work except for mentally unstable weak minds and people who think main stream media is the real news, which it isn’t. The only thing the main stream media is, they are very well funded.
"Nazim,shmatzi...says Werner Von Braun"
Real history was the SS took over the rocket program AFTER the V2 finally worked (well enuf) - it had taken years (and almost missed the war), including working from well before WW2 started - they had one problem after another - it was a complex NEW technology with problems never seen before (They don’t call it “ROCKET SCIENCE” for nothing). Von Braun ran the large Peenemünde research facility (up on the Baltic Sea coast) - working originally for the German Army Artillery department.
Himmler had instantly made Von Braun a SS Sturmbannfüehrer (major) to force authority over him (upto that time Von Braun was a civilian). People generally didnt say NO to Himmler. It was the SS who then built the Underground rocket factories (Hartz mountains - Mittelwerk rocket factory and the Dora-Mittelbau camp) for the V2 war production using THEIR forced laborers from other countries and concentration camp inmates (the SS controlled all of that across every country German controlled) - Von Braun had little to do with those factories as he kept producing design improvements at his research facilities).
“The war the Germans started killed about 30m people”
Actually the war started in China several years before 1939 - that was the japanese starting it there and they killed millions
Also dont forget the german russian nonaggression pack that allow Poland to be gobbled up from both directions simultaneously
Well then, those America haters can just live without NASA’s inventions...

Well, the Soviets were never the targets of the rockets, they were pretty well all fired at the UK . . .
Shhhh...for Pete’s sake do not give the Germanophobic (bleep) in the British gutter press any ideas ;-) - although it is the one field of production in which Britain undoubtedly still leads the world, and a faithful reflection of the cultural and educational level of the population as a whole (as Theodore Dalrymple said).
Well, maybe not of the population as a whole, but definitely a good few of them, I would say. Still enough to keep this fishwrap Daily Hail up and running.
Of course. Sadly though, these facts are all-too often overlooked or maybe even deliberately forgotten (for the benefit of whom, I’d like to ask...).
And, ladies and gentlemen, the author of this screed is well known as a n extremely biased journo. Fair and balanced he definitely isn’t.
I think you are right, Sir (or Ma’am). Every bad thing is blamed upon President Trump nowadays (yawwwwn, it really has been getting more and more annoying lately).
Luckily the comments under this sorry article in the Daily Fail are definitely calmer and more matter-of-fact, as well as being not totally bereft of common sense, for the most part.

I didn't know that ...
... but only because it isn't true.
It think the Daily Mail newspaper itself was quite Hitler loving in the 1930’s...
