we are talking about jews, slovs, jehovah witnesses in the most inhumane capacity. -- inhumane conditionsmaginable. a sube in the book about camp of some of the larger camps. von braun got away with a lot. he was not tried for war crimes because the united states wanted his genius. something called operation paperclip, von braun surrendered, most of the best german rocket scientists were grabbed by the u.s. army under operation paperclip and relocated to the united states. i want the young people to understand, the 50th anniversary of going to the moon. if you are studying engineering, rocketry, aerospace, von braun is a thumbs up. he is essential. he is a genius, but we also have to look at the morality of the -- the immorality of the way that some of these early rockets were built when he was on team adolf hitler. i wanted to make it clear in the book because i give him a credit for getting us to the moon. we cannot have science run amok in the way that von braun and others were doing it in the third reich. brian: i have some video of werner von braun in 1955. it is a disney video. let'
