Ah, I see you read John Kerry's autobiography.

Wild Bill Donovan, who interceded on his behalf, was an interesting character as well. He won the MOH during WWI, and became head of the OSS during WWII. He was given that position by FD Roosevelt - even though he was a Republican. He was in many ways the father of the CIA.

There were a lot of 1st generation Europeans in SF. One of my dad's buddies wound up in SF. He retired because they wanted him to go to a place called Vietnam and be an "Advisor" but didn't want him to carry a rifle.

How does a Nazi SS officer who was jailed by our ally then escaped become a soldier in the us army?

Werner von Braun was a Nazi (I presume at least) who came to the U.S. and became a main force for NASA.

Finns...the Apaches of Europe.

As for von Braun, post WWII, the fear of the Soviets allowed a lot of otherwise objectionable behavior a pass.

I forget where I read it, but an answer to "Why did we beat the Russians to the Moon?" Was: "We had better Nazis."

Von Braun The story of his surrender is too crazy to make up.

But our first missile launch is said to have used German fire commands.
