@kiomarv It is indeed. I'm an American, I take a degree of pride in the U.S. landing people on the moon, and I give all the credit in the world for the technological feat putting humans on the moon was. That said, Von Braun's past -not only development of the V-2 for Hitler, but also his knowledge and acquiescence in the use of slave labor for the construction of the rockets - is a mark of shame. The use of the Nazis gives credance to the saying that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
@Polybun That's true, but it is also true that he was one man they couldn't have done it without, at least not within the timeframe of landing a man before the decade was out. Nazi, or no nazi, theres is no getting around the fact that Braun was a genius.
@aigg Well said. Truth is the truth, no matter how bitter or awkward. Technologically, the Nazis were at least 50 years ahead of the World in areas, thanks to towering self-belief, total commitment to a certain ideology and, of course, an ability to realize their technological creativity thanks, in great part, to tremendous numbers of expendable and disposable slaves.
Upon such foundations as these, was raised the Space Program - that did, in turn, raise Mankind to the Stars. Like it or not.
The other link to hoax evidence I posted doesn't work anymore so here's another.

I guess it's an inconvenient truth for the U.S. to admit that an ex-Nazi made much of the moon landing possible.

@schablone35 The truth is that, von braun was only one of about 20,000 engineers working on Apollo.

Simply the greatest engineering ever known to man. Von Braun was also quite an unsung hero of pure genious. Certainly up there with Michealangelo.

The Apollo moon missions were faked in a studio. They never went to the moon. Here's a link to some of the evidence of a hoax.

@Cosmored Yes. Everything the U.S. government supposedly does is FAKE!!
The U.S. Government never invented atomic bombs. Atomic bombs don't exist.
The U.S. Government never invented the X1. Super sonic jets don't exist.
The U.S. Government never invented lasers. Your laser mouse doesn't exist.
The U.S. Government never invented the Apollo spacecraft. Even though a hundred thousand people watched it take off, it never really existed.
