Still blows my mind how Call of Duty: Black Ops portrayed the Soviets as collaborating with a Nazi scientist after the war when in real life, it was literally the Americans who did that

That's the thing, "Forced them too" In Cod, it's "Soviets treated Nazi war criminal much better then their own troops, then give him his own lab and test subjects to make more suffer" It would of been much less disingenuous to say nothing about Soviet Alsos at that point.

I mean those scientists were provided a relatively comfortable existence probably superior to most Soviet workers and they avoided trials for genocide so....what's your point exactly?

It caused those "Relatively comfortable" scientist FLED FOR THEIR LIVES the moment an opportunity presented itself (see Fritz Karl Preikschat). They were sent to makeshift cities under Russian Supervisors and told to reverse engineering this or get sent to Gulag/get shot.

Did they ever face trial for their crimes? No? Then I don't want to hear it

There was no trial since they were sent up to Siberia the moment it turned out they had knowledge, likely had the pissed beaten out of them, and maybe if they were lucky they could move out. Those in America on the otherhand were treated as heroes and lived like kings.

This is... false The Soviet rocketry program was on Gorodomlya Island, which is not in Siberia Gröttrup's men complained bitterly about the bad food and the impoverished conditions but those were shared by their Russian coworkers

They were paid handsomely for their work and there was no "if you were lucky", they were all released in 1952 (including Preikschat), there's no dramatic stories of death-defying escape
