Yes, Operation Paperclip imported scientists, but that was the cover story. They also, and in far greater numbers, imported the spooks: the people from the intelligence and media (internal propaganda) apparatus, who continued their work softening up the population and preparing for the debauchery of Weimar Republic 2.0. Werner Von Braun was not merely a rocket scientist, but a media celebrity and household name.
"Werner Von Braun was not merely a rocket scientist, but a media celebrity and household name." Well yes! We would not have had a space program without him, right?
He certainly wasn't the only one responsible, but sure. That said, media celebrity also means propagandist, which he was par excellence. And he wasn't on the side of the American people, despite his Disney creds.
Don't make a cartoon character of him either. If he was "not on the side of the American people [?] he was certainly on the side of the American Space program. He made it happen, probably more than any other single person.
