Hey, at least they weren't commies, right?
Reminds me somewhat of the book Heisenberg's War, which painted H as saviour of mankind who deliberately obstructed German development of atomic weapons. Sadly, however, much evidence suggests he was wholly dedicated not only to Germany but to the Nazis as well.
There are ongoing and, imho, increasingly common efforts to paint the Nazis as "not that bad." Some of it is undoubtedly ignorance, but some of it is certainly not. Von Braun may not have been as ideologically entrenched as others, but there was no question about what team he was on before he tucked tail and ran away from the Russians.
