  • I think you might be confusing Dornberger with Von Braun.

    Dornberger was supportive of the rocketry program in Germany and was closely associated with Von Braun but I haven’t heard of him directly overseeing the transfer of skilled workers from concentration camps or prisons, as I have heard of Von Braun and Arthur Rudolph. Instead, most of the records of Dornberger detail his politics in the Wehrmacht and claims that he was sabotaging the war efforts.

    EDIT: I’ve found something, Dornberger signed a meeting protocol on August 4, 1943 that acknowledged there were forced laborers on sites. “The ratio of German workers to concentration camp prisoners should be 1:15, at the most 1:10“ despite him denying the claim during his trials in 1969.



  • 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.
