As for all the Nazi stuff...
When I went through the "Q" course part of our required reading was "The Devil's Guard" - which has been republished and is available.
And the US GOV didn't have any problems with Germans/Nazis - Werner Von Braun and his rocket team were recruited and whisked away to the US with no issues and they were responsible for the V1 and V2 blitz against England.
RIP, Larry Thorne.

Politicians were no different then than they are now the battle against tyranny is not ever priotity for governments. Neither was fighting evil, governments then like now seek power and when the winner of a war has defeated the enemy they rape the country of its talent and builds the winning country into a stronger power and being right or wrong has nothing to do with it.
