@senor47 ...,Lots of scientist refused and left nazi germany , dude. Nazi ideology didn't happen over night! When Hitler came to power in 1933' the writing was already on the wall. Jewish scientist were already being hounded out of universities and laboratories. Nazi ideology was begining to dominate germanys science communities some embraced it enthusiastically others argued that science lies outside the boundaries of politics and morality. Your arguement is a fantasy.

@fluffy1931 I am calling the SS guard the murderers. I call von Braun a genius and refer to the Nazi officers and armed SS as the murderers. The put those prisoners to work at the factories. All German scientists were also on watch. If one refused an order or was against the regime, they were dealt with. If he knew about the workers, there was not much he could have done. He either followed the Nazi ideology present in Germany at the time or was afraid to speak up that is even if he really knew.

@senor47 keep sniffing glue dude. The slave labor involved with constrution of the german V-2 was very large with prisoners corpses stacked like wood throughout just one of three V-2 factorys at Mittelwerk,Over ninety percent of the 10,000 laborers were non-Germans Officials estimate that from 1943 until 1945, 60,000 prisoners worked in these factories. Of these, 20,000 had died from various causes including starvation, fatigue and execution.

@tompouceful I wouldn't say a killer. Killers in my view......the Nazi Officers and the SS who actually cut down Jews and others with rounds of leaded fire. Who forced them into the gas chambers and watched them die while probably sipping iced tea. They are or where bloody killers. That is a BIG difference to this guy....a guy solving equations on a board and figuring out aerodynamic problems.

My dad worked on the 'Blue streak project' at De Havillands (British aero space)as an engineer in the 1950's (I'm not sure if he met Von Braun). He told me about the V2, how this was the precurser of the space rocket, it always fascinated me as a little girl, to think that the technology for making this weapon could be put to something as marvellous as the Apollo missions to the moon - long time ago now of course!
Von Braun is a genius.
