Hunting the Nazi Rocket Scientists deals with the brilliant German scientists who worked for the Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s, creating the V2 ballistic missile. When the war ended, the U.S. was desperate to get its hands on these scientists before the Russians did.

The U.S. wanted their expertise; the need for military superiority overrode any concerns of bringing these criminals to justice.
