We scooped a few up. Ever hear of Wernher Von Braun. That nazi f**k and his team helped create space exploration for the U.S.

Where would we be atomically if it were not for German scientists? Was Von Braun a Nazi Zack? Yikes. I sure as he** didn't know that. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
You need to get your story straight, but then that's probably asking too much. Germany didn't get rid of Nazis. The Allied Forces did that at the cost of much blood and suffering. As long as the Third Reich was a successful venture, there's no reason to believe that those folks would not have continued to embrace their Nazi regime. I resent and reject the idea that everybody out here that disagrees with you and your strange notions is a Nazi. When the story is weak on validity, then resort to name calling. That must be the order of business. We quite possibly would not have had a space program without the aeronautics expertise of some of these expatriates from the fallen Nazi regime.

No, Germany did not "get rid" of Nazis even though some tried. (Google Erwin Rommel's death and see if you can find out why he died when he did for starters.)
The defeat and ultimate destruction of the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party was courtesy of great sacrifice by the Allied forces. All those "Nuremberg Neckties", along with the new Allied military government (Google The Marshall Plan) actually banning the party became a "BIGLY" (you like that word, don't you?) deterrent to its resurrection.
And yes, a number of German citizens were welcomed with open arms to come to the USA. The Soviets did likewise, but with open hand-cuffs instead of open arms. It makes absolutely no sense to destroy all that scientific knowledge when virtually all those that were SOCIALIST party members (required by German law, by the way) were members in name only, just working for the government to survive, to avoid becoming plant food or "smoke on the water", so to speak. (Check out what that fine, upstanding member of that SOCIALIST Party Oskar Schindler had to do to retain his good standing in the party while saving a BIGLY number of Jews from that last "shower" in Zyklon B.
