A "documentary" about German scientists after the war, not about secret American Nazis.
Wernher von Braun applied for membership of the Nazi Party on 12 November 1937, and was issued membership number 5,738,692. That doesn't mean he was a Nazi per se, but rather that he didn't want to be persecuted or killed.
Were it not for von Braun John F. Kennedy's space program would have had a much harder time reaching the moon, and NASA would maybe never have become what it is today. Or rather, what it used to be before the 2000's.
My point is that the documentary makes a click bait claim of "secret Nazis" when the subjects were not killing anyone or sending them to interment camps. Could they have resisted German aggression? Maybe, maybe not. Germans resisting Hitler and his minions did not fare well at all.
