Their first choice was apparently to join and serve the Nazis, the USA was their second choice when that one didn't quite pan out as expected.

They were evil, not stupid.
Yes, hence my opinion that they should have gone through Nuremberg like the rest of the war criminals instead of being given an exemption because their knowledge came in handy. I see them at the same level as the engineers that designed the gas chambers.
I'm not sure they really had a choice in the first place. I don't think the Nazis were going to let him and his family leave the country and get a job in America.
