Even mentioned in a darkly humorous tone in the 1968 movie "Ice Station Zebra" (cold war thriller). The character played by Patrick McGoohan has a line: " The Russians put our camera made by our German scientists and your film made by your German scientists into their satellite made by their German scientists."

I mean, Tom Lehrer had a whole song about it and everything. It was on the radio quite a bit at the time.
Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun,
A man whose allegiance
Is ruled by expedience.
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown,
"Ha, Nazi, Schmazi, " says Wernher von Braun.

No, not really. It doesn’t display the lyrics, and there is no entertaining video of Tom Lehrer.
It does display the lyrics w/ one click, also the sheet music, has multiple recordings, and is actually Lehrer's site. It's true that there's no video.
Or just do those crimes and never loose a war. The moral is you can get away with all the murder if you are not an upstart and can write it out of your history. Can even be a hero of history prosecuting people for the crimes you commit.

The Soviets and British did the same thing, IIRC.
The lesson is simple: if you're going to lose a war, lose a war as a guy who is good at something, because the new management will be a lot less likely to hold crimes against humanity against you.
