CORRECTION: We have updated this story to explicitly state that Wernher von Braun was a Nazi.
After careful consideration, WTOP has decided to remove the article from our website. This story did not meet WTOP’s standards and should not have appeared on any of our platforms.
You had to do research to figure out that he was a Nazi?
Why not? What standars? #hypocrisy? #US could reach the moon thanks #VonBraum knowledge. Sorry if nazy scientists could find what US scientists could not
How the hell did you not know that the guy was a Nazi?
good move, props to y’all
I suppose that we should just scrap the whole space program because of Nazis or something. Keep trying to erase history instead of learning from it.
Ooops. Though anyone wanting to dive deeper into this topic should go pick up Annie Jacobson's excellent OPERATION PAPERCLIP. The US brought a bunch of Nazi scientists over here to help in the cold war technology battles.
Just finished this, and second the recommendation.
Good lord, you're gutless. Yes, Von Braun was a Nazi. Yes, that should have been mentioned in article. No, you shouldn't have pulled article because he was a Nazi. The U.S. doesn't get to the moon without Von Braun. This is history, you nitwits. You can't make it vanish.
Keep talking about Beyoncé..where you found your investigator journos?
