Why did NASA let Nazis run their program?

rabinoz is an intelligent man.

Many Germans were members of the party simply because it was the only way to get ahead in their profession. Maybe they were morally weak to do that, but who among us would know how we would act under similar conditions of ambition and patriotism to the Fatherland.

I know how I would act. And history would damn me for that.

But for a 15-year-old kid like yourself to be so critical of so much from so far back is a bit immature, though the extreme anti-Nazi feelings of anyone with connections with Israel is understandable.

Do elaborate on the immaturity of having a strong opinion of history.

You don't know how you would react if in the same situation. Try to put yourself in the place of the scientists and engineers in Germany. Obviously they would want to do all that they could help their own side win the war.
If you saw the tremendous damage done to places like Dresden, Cologne and Berlin wouldn't you do all you could to help your own country produce weapons to counter some of this.

But the main point relevant to the topic is that after the war the Germans, even the Nazis (those not accused of war crimes) were regarded as no threat, but the Communists were regarded as a threat to national security. Using German expertise was simply regarded as expedient.

It's all very well over 70 years later making these moral judgements, but unless you were there you do not know what you would have done.

What was the US government thinking???

They were probably thinking "The Nazis are destroyed, we'll take their rocket scientists".

Or, they were thinking that they should grab them before the Commies do.

Well yes, the scientists were essentially plunder.

And many of the German personnel went to great lengths to ensure they were captured by the USA rather than the USER.

So, who can disprove what ive said? Nobody? Hmm shame. You globalists are going to have to face the truth eventually.

Actually you made the statement and you have failed to prove it.

Except the scientists they invited to stay here as the most luxuriously treated guests, WERE NAZI SS. Do tell me more about their entire destruction.

EXCEPT THEY WEREN'T. You keep stating as a fact that they were all nazi SS, in fact very few were. If you have any facts to prove the opposite then go right ahead and produce them. They were not treated like honoured guests, quite the opposite - they were treated with suspicion and virtual prisoners. Try reading a book or two on the subject, because those of us that have are just laughing at you.

Lol My big hairy mistaken friend, the only person you are hurting by denying facts is yourself. Do tell why people treated as suspicious and virtual prisoners became public spokespeople allowed to roam free? Not only that but under aliases...

Again, evidence required from you.

They stopped being marginalised in the US space program when DoD and NASA rockets kept exploding on the pad and they realised they should probably speak to the people who knew how to do it.

Read some books.

Do tell us how luxuriously they were treated.

How many medals in total did they get and for what?

The question is why did the NAZIS let the NAZIS run the NAZI party?  Didn't they know these people were NAZIs?!?!

I would but ide be called a liar for stating facts again. Sometimes personal research is enlightening! Try finding out what medals these space Nazis won on your own!

I don't see an issue. If you think there is one, let's hear it! If there isn't an issue, then why did you ask?

Oh? I do see an issue with someone being called a liar for stating facts.

Sorry you were confused. Let me ask again.

Do you have an issue because you think German rocket scientists might have been awarded medals?  If there isn't an issue, then why did you ask?

Yeah i kinda do have a problem with Nazi war criminals recieving American medals and awards.

Would you be OK with Schindler getting a medal?

Yeah i kinda do have a problem with Nazi war criminals recieving American medals and awards.

(1) Do you have any proof that any were "Nazi war criminals"?

(2) Do you ever think of anything else? It was over 70 years ago!

(3) Whatever has it to do with the shape of the earth?

Still waiting for an answer.

What is your fucking point?   

I was a happy house owner at Freiberg i.Sa, Germany 2001/16. The place was never bombed during WW2 in spite of it housing industry building parts of both airplanes and V1 and V2 rockets. Reason was that such production was spread out in outskirts of small, nice towns with good engineering traditions. Assembly was then easy at airports or rocket launch areas. The allied spent plenty effort bombing purely civilian targets of no military value, e.g. Dresden just 35 km from Freiberg.
Anyway, the winners then always write the history to suit mostly political objectives, i.e. the winners are good, the losers are bad. History should be a science - to establish what really happened - but it is impossible.
