that's nasty
but unfortunate proof that there's nothing too evil or degraded that one person won't do to another.

me too
how the Allies handled it after it particulary shocking. There is a tiny tiny part of me that thinks that as the work was already done it would be silly to let it go to waste, but the other 99% is screaming 'how the chuntering fuck could these monsters be let off?!?'.

It beggars belief. As horrifying as in the films, but the bad guys get away with it.

aha! I know this one! Stealing German scientists after the war. Nothing wrong with that, surely? To google! .....
Hmmmmm, again not ideal, but not quite so reprehensible I reckon. It seems that they papered over unpleasant details (like Nazi Party membership, which may have been cynically motivated anyway) in the general picture, as opposed to their work. I'm sure some utter arseholes got away, but to me it seems more like risking letting some bad'uns through to get mostly okay people, rather than cynically letting monsters go to get hold of their results.

I may have missed details, just skimmed through the wiki article, so please correct me if I have.
