If von Braun had told the Wehrmacht he did not appreciate people from concentration camps being used for forced labor, they would have suspected him of being a Jewish sympathizer and removed him from the program. Also, von Braun had to realize that any prisoner on work detail was another person not being tortured or executed, and they got better rations and treatment. Unless you know what was going on inside his head, you can’t accuse the man of anything except working to protect his country, even if it was being run by madmen.
Since my other posts were censored, I need to point out that America taught Hitler everything he knew about racism, so there is no wonder that the Nazi scientists were welcomed with open arms. Our country founded on genocide and slavery makes Hitler’s Germany look like a Sunday school picnic. (Censor this and I will know you are spineless.)
