Comments on: Wernher von Braun http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/features/hunt-for-nazi-scientists/wernher-von-braun/101/ Part detective story, part true-life drama, SECRETS OF THE DEAD unearths evidence from around the world, challenging prevailing ideas and throwing fresh light on unexplained events.

However, working men to death in the pursuit of National Socialist objectives does. The question of Wehrner Von Braun's complicity in war crimes has been covered up. Von Braun would have known the answer to this. However, he defended himself on many occasions. Designing and developing terror weapons does not make a war criminal.

I think many people feared for their lifes and were threatened by death but that does not excuse the killing of hundreds of thousandds of people by building the most advaced rocket of that time.

We used him to save us from an even greater tragedy than the jews faced.

My son is doing a project on him also. We obtained many books on rockets and Von Braun at our local library. You can try the book titled “A History of Space Travel” by Werner Von Braun.

Shame on us, what a double standart we practice.
