That is why our Germans were better than theirs - and that is one thing that "soft power" and reputation n the world can do for you.

And it wasn't only the scientists that worked to get "captured" by the Americans: Reinhard Gehlen, head of the Wehrmacht east front intelligence together with his staff, tons of material, and still functioning V-men inside the Soviet Union, managed to get co-opted by the Americans and actually was the founder of the CIA!
