Dornberger: Both were deeply involved on the Nazi side of World War II (building the famous V-2 missiles), but after surrendering to the Americans, they were taken to the US as a part of Operation Paperclip, which brought 1600 formerly German scientists to work in America. Here they further developed rockets and thus became instrumental parts of the American space project.
