USA - Nazi Engineers Got Man to Moon

Arno Froese

German scientists and engineers who once worked for the Nazi war machine later powered some of the world’s leading post-war achievements, says Ariel Gelblung, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Latin American branch.

“We cannot understand the arrival of man to the moon and the development of NASA without persons like von Braun being ‘recycled,’” Gelblung told The Media Line.

Wernher von Braun was an aerospace engineer and space architect and a member of the Nazi party and Allgemeine SS. He led Nazi Germany’s rocket development program before the Second World War and helped develop its V-2 rocket, the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile, during the war.

Gelblung said that after Germany’s defeat in the war, an entire cohort of Nazi scientists, doctors, and engineers remained, and, rather than face war crimes trials for their activities during the war, many searched for new homes, identities, and professions. The developing US-Soviet rivalry gave them a golden opportunity.

As the Americans and the Soviets quietly opened their doors to Nazi minds, Latin America also proved to be a popular haven for thousands of Nazis, especially Argentina.

Another infamous Nazi who arrived in Buenos Aires was Adolf Eichmann, the notorious architect of Hitler’s “Final Solution” for the Jews.

Eichmann’s prosecution had a huge impact in Israel and around the world, mainly because his trial offered Holocaust survivors an unprecedented opportunity to voice their testimonies in public. The broad international coverage of the trial helped counter efforts at Holocaust denial.

Arno's Commentary

It’s remarkable how Jews “never forget.” When it comes to war, it’s mainly about who can benefit us; in this case, the USA, Argentina, and the USSR.

However, based on C. M. Ward, who interview Von Braun in 1966, Von Braun testified to being a believer in Jesus Christ. 

What we do know for sure is that there is no escape. We read: “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20:12). That is applicable to all who reject salvation in Jesus Christ.
