Von Braun also worked for the Nazis.

Interesting to speculate what would have happened if Zuse had been paper-clipped to the US and given a huge budget.

One funny anecdote about Zuse during the war was that he managed to save his Z4 because it was named as V4 in the paperwork. The wehrmacht officers thought it was one of these retaliation weapon V1, V2, V3 so V4 was very important and got high priority to be hidden away somewhere.
