As for the SS he was pretty much forced by Himmler to joine the Waffen SS in 1940. There are two different kinds of SS. Algemeine SS and Waffen SS. Algemeine SS were the ones who worked in the death camps, not the Waffen SS (not trying to say the Waffen SS was good or bad though...).
So just because you were SS does not mean you committed war crimes, and therefore does not mean you deserve to be killed. Hell my stepmothers Uncle was Waffen SS, and he is still alive today...

von braum was a ss, von braum killed much more britons than binladen killed americans in 911.
von braum felt any sorry for that.
dont know nothing about scorpions, the real deal was the soviet gulags !!! why do you think these guys ran to surrender to allies ? i wish the soviets had caught mr von braum, mr mengele and others... they wouldnt had the right of a trial if you know what i mean... | |

Country: | Von Braun only created and developed the weapons. He was not the one who ordered their use. Big difference between him and Bin Laden.

correct, and the Soviets did acquire many of Brauns personal scientific staff - the result - Sputnik and the missile race was set in motion | |

If this guy is still alive, I hope he won't be for long.

BTW I don't think the US has any use for someone who injected gasoline into human bodies.

Country:  | This remeber me my good old topic "Hitler scaped to Argentina" Honestly I dont believe that criminal is still alive.
It seems the Simon Wiesenthal center now is devoted to ghost hunting.
And by the way "Patagonia" is mostly an Argentine region since that country is very thin in the south.
