As the report makes clear, this was by no means limited to Nazi scientists.

Reinhard Gehlen?

And Mark - it's news when the New York Times gets ahold of the unredacted government report that verifies it.

The Nazi scientists were a hot target. They must have been evil, but science knows nothing about good and evil, when it comes to design rockets, for instance. The person who chooses the payload and presses the launch button (or orders someone else to) are the evil ones.

At least it´s clear there´s no such thing as a "moral high ground" and that every country tried to snap Germany´s brightest scientific minds in their quest to beat everyone else in the global arms race (and space quest, which is/was a form of arms race... taking war to space).
