Many absent-mindedly are blind to the good or evil of the politics of the "whomever.” I believe that it still begs an answer it these scientists were truly "Nazis" or were they so taken with their projects and the desire to see their work mature . After all, they worked with even greater enthusiasm for the USA than for Hitler. Many scientists want to "do their thing" with whoever will let them.

Truman was not blinded by Stalin asFDR had been. Truman Knew that the russians were not our friends and that missles were the next way of delivering nuclear weapons. We needed all the rocket scientists we could lay our hands on and quickly. Being a Nazi didn't matter if they knew rockets. The U.S.S.R. was grabbing rocket people as fast as they could.
