"His conversion might have been an effort to absolve himself" [of his actions aiding the Nazi regime] Spiritually, at least. That is basically part of the deal of conversion. (of the V2 vertical record flight) "This is the first recorded instance of a rocket being sent into space orbit." Space, yes; orbit no.

@nickie2011 "This guy and many others were actually kidnapped. This guy was a hardcore Nazi, didn't want to work for the enemy. It's been researched. " It's been lied about. There is no way anybody wouldn't have wanted to join the Americans at that point. It was join the Americans (or the British, who might not have been as sanguine because of the V2 business) or be enslaved by the Soviets. The Americans didn't have to coerce anybody, and they knew it. Hitler himself would have taken the deal if he was offered it.

@fredcollins8919 "Better US having the advantage rather than the world hated Communist Soviets." You betcha! Consider what would have happened if the Soviets had developed nuclear warhead ICBMs FIRST! They would not have hesitated to use the instrument to blackmail the West, and they would not have been bluffing. If you are alive and you are free, thank Dr. Werner von Braun and "Operation Paperclip"!
