I need to watch this.
Without Werner Von Braun and his research who knows how long it would have taken NASA to reach the moon let alone go into space.
Unfortunately that research came on the back of the V-2 missile, slave labor and thousands and thousands of lives destroyed to build it.
I guess the way to look at it is thankfully some good was able to come of such evil.
But hearing that Von Braun, as a Nazi, directed the “slowest performing Jews” to be hanged outside of his rocket factory to “boost productivity” really puts things in perspective.
So I haven't done as much research as she has but this is the first time I've heard of that. Doesn't mean it isn't true of course but I wonder about its veracity. The Wiki about von Braun is less certain about his direct involvement in the treatment of the forced laborers.
But she is right. It was either us or the Russians.
I saw there's another clip from the same episode about CIA Assassinations. I think I'm just going to listen to the whole thing.
It always amazed me that Hitler (perhaps even today) was such a muslim golden boy.
Doesn't mean we had to put them up on a pedestal or even be nice to them. No should even know their name. They could have just been referred to as "captured Nazi scientists" in news articles and textbooks.The gist of it is, if we didn’t snatch those scientists up, the Russians would have.
