Reply to comment by Relevant_Departure40 in Antiwar Activists Who Flee Russia Find Detention, Not Freedom, in the U.S. by ThisIsNotCorn

We also brought in a ton of high ranking nazi scientists after the war who helped us with our space/nuclear program. Seems like these folks would be more culpable than some fleeing Russian civilians, no?

Hell a bunch of Nazi POWs that were held in the US and Canada during the war got deported back to Germany after the war and turned right around and came back to the US and Canada.

Granted these were low level soldiers who claim not to be part of the NAZI party.

Including my Great-Uncle Carl.

Who was actually a second cousin of my great grandmother. At the end of the war, he was shipped from POW camp to Arkansas to work on the family's farms. He married a local girl, got his citizenship and never went back to Germany.
