That time when a literal Nazi was in a Disney video

So the more you dive into US history and culture, the more bizarre and terrifying it is. One example I came across today is so outlandish there is no sensible way to introduce it.

Apparently, one powerful Nazi who was welcomed to live and work in the US in "Operation Paperclip" (and helped the US government develop NUCLEAR BALLISTIC MISSILES!) also used Walt Disney to help him promote the idea of space travel in the 1950s. Yes, these events are actually real, and you can see an actual fucking Nazi speaking as a scientific expert in a Disney propaganda video.

Here are some links: Wikipedia page for Wernher von Braun - The actual Disney video - Archived NASA webpage discussing the relationship between Von Braun and Walt Disney (conveniently failing to explain the horrifying war machines he helped invent for both Nazi Germany and the USA)

What's even more shocking is that most of that information was not kept secret from the American public, and yet there seems to be no indication of any public outcry. Check out this actual press release from the US government proudly admitting to bringing Nazis to work for the US military.

Do you have any events from history that shocked and terrified you? Drop me a message.
