I did a report on this in 5th grade, people thought I was making it up.
The difference is that the Americans rolled out a red carpet for the Nazis and offered employment contracts. The Soviets showed up one night and kidnapped nearly 7000 nazis at gunpoint, and then forced them to work to pay reparations. Based.
The remaining Axis scientists that the Soviets did capture still had to live in unglamorous conditions: on some projects the Soviet authorities limited the rôle of the Axis specialists merely to consultation and practical training.
They also committed mass rapes
The frogurt contains potassium cyanide.
They also claimed 7 out of every 10 Nazis killed in WWII, and by all accounts at the time, contributed the most to winning the war.
Absolutely…while kidnapping, raping, and murdering children. There was a reason Germans wanted the west troops to march in as opposed to the soviets.
And now the Marxist state is a fascist one.
Hmm.
To be fair to Von Braun, he did have slaves build his rockets.
Wasn’t just Von Braun and the V2. Me-262s were built with forced labor. Then there’s the Comet, which was an amazingly bad idea. I’m surprised it wasn’t flown by slave labor, as little as they seemed to care for the pilot’s safety. The fuel was so corrosive that if it leaked the pilot would be dissolved alive.
What were they supposed to do, leave them all to Operation Osoaviakhim?
I wish humanity had the ability to download brains so we can just suck out all the info from those nazi scientists and firing-squad them all
Since the Nazis were fighting the Soviets in cold conditions, they did a lot of research on hypothermia. Their methodology involved putting Jews out in the cold and measuring how long it took for them to get hypothermia.
There was a lot of debate over whether the results of their research should be used or just be destroyed because using it might encourage future scientists to use immoral methods in their research. They ultimately decided to use that research.
But when they looked at the data, there was no real science happening. They were just freezing people to death out of cruelty with no benefit to science.
A lot of “Nazi science” is very overrated. Turns out cruel and hateful people don’t make for good scientists. Science is done by people and people and if those people ignore morality, they become very warped. “Science at all costs, ignore morality” doesn’t actually result in useful research. It may feel like ignoring ethics in favour of scientific progress is a strong pro-science stance, but it’s just another fascist power fantasy.
Russia like “Ooh! Write that down!”
Huh?
Russia also employed a bunch of Nazi scientists for their own rocket program.
Memorable quote from The Right Stuff, a good movie about the Space Race: “Our Nazis are better than their Nazis.”
It’s not really funny.
Its the reason the USA is fucked right now, they witness protectioned a bunch of nazis and they grew familys based on evil values.
Well Wernher von Braun was a weird one… for example he opposed segregation while some local govenor clearly did not
I do not think german nazis were too motivated against africans, specially african-americans. They were ultra racist against Jewish and Slavic.
The American nazis were the ones obsessed with skin color against black people.
At least that’s the impression I get when reading about those times.
Hitler was inspired by the US manifest destiny and genocide of the native americans, nazis did well in the US because they fit perfectly in, they did not corrupt the US.
Among other things
