But while we're thinking of the widows in old london town, let us not forget by the inventors (on the winning side of course) of napalm, flame throwers, incendiary grid bombing, the A-bomb, and similar goodies. Von Braun didn't do a damn thing for Germany that just about any scientist in the US or Britain wasn't trying to do: kill as many of the enemy as quickly as possible with minimum losses on their own side. This one sided thinking is why the British commander responsible for Dresden didn't swing on the end of the rope he so richly deserved!!! Please note that I am NOT commenting on the activities of the SS, Gestapo, etc: their crimes were of an order only surpased by the Cambodians...
