You laugh, but I was brought up thinking that Werner Von Braun was the greatest scientist who ever lived. I met him once when I was a child and it was treated with almost religious reverence. Then, I grew up and found out that he was a Nazi.
I was upset by that news. Then, after reading probably hundreds of books about the JFK assassination - I find out that Werner Von Braun knew Clay Shaw, and J. Edgar Hoover as well as JFK and LBJ - and that the guns the Cuban exiles were running (with the help of Jack Ruby) were being distributed from Redstone (under the authority of Von Braun at the time) and well - I am very distrustful of the government.
I guess I just explained why I’m no longer a democrat. When I was a child, I understood as a child - but I am an adult now and I don’t trust them at all...
and Von Braun was less of a Nazi than zer0bama.
