MANY nazis went on to become communists in east germany once the soviets moved in. they were, in fact, BOTH NAZIS AND COMMUNISTS.
i take it you've never really sat down and thought through some of your assumptions of the history of ww2 / europe / asia / america. i urge you to do so one day. it can be quite stimulating.
for example, did you know china was an ally in world war 2, while japan was an enemy?
crazy, i know.
I enjoy your condescension. It reminds me of why on Lesswrong, we say 'politics is the mindkiller'. Here we have a simple situation in which people with foreign ties often become spies and this justifies extra investigation, and people are going berserk and engaged in all sort of motivated reasoning.
> for example, did you know china was an ally in world war 2, while japan was an enemy?
Yes. I have more shocking information for you: Soviet Russia was an ally in WWII too.
Maybe you should reread your comment. He was 'a nazi and a communist'? That's quite a trick.
(von Braun and the other Nazis were trusted precisely because they were so virulently anti-Communist and there was, after all, western Germany, which I see you omit when you describe his 'home country' as being 'a soviet satellite state'...)
