A lot of those nazi scientists were defectors and saboteurs, for example Walter Dornberger, a Nazi General, was directly implicated in a plot to assassinate Hitler with a bomb briefcase referred to as "Operation Valkyrie", but sadly only managed to singe his pants and rupture his eardrum.

Some of these men were good people, directly opposed to the evil that gripped Germany.

That aside, though, the list of names of Nazi recruitments from Operation Paperclip is very long, and I'm sure many of them were very bad people.

lol what, dude was a nazi who used slaves to make rockets and then avoided punishment after the war.

the july 20 plot against hitler wasnt done by antifascists, it was done by dedicated fascists who thought hitler was incompetent, and they should be the ones to run the genocidal war.

If they were really "good people" they would have done something against the Nazis in the decade leading up to 1944 when the war was already conclusively lost.

The real good people died in their thousands in concentration camps long before 1944. Only a few, like Schindler and Rabe were fortunate enough to survive the war.

I think you meant to reply to me and not them.

Bit of both. I'm aggressively agreeing with him.
