I live in Córdoba, Argentina, and was 13 years when I met Kurt Tank. I was a military cadet in an Army Institute, where secondary grade studies were conducted (a kind of the USA ROTC program), called Liceo Militar Gral. Paz, where I had Kurt Tank's son Wolfram as a comrade in our promotion. Wolfram Tank and I developed a good friendship and we still gather with many other comrades from our 8th Promotion. Wolfram lives in Buenos Aires, he is an industrial engineer representing german steel companies in Argentina as Rehinmettal. We used to go to the airplane factory so I did meet all of the German pilots (including Adolf Galland, Hans Ulrich Rudel, Peter Behrens, and Hans Bot, the only survivor pilot of the rocket jet Heinkel 163 Komet. He was living in Carlos Paz, a nearby city until his death about 7 or 8 years ago. By the way, I am 83 years old, the same age as Wolfram Tank.

Von Braun was initially sidelined somewhat in terms of funding after he completed the Redstone rocket and most US funding for missile research went to competing projects. This changed however after the Soviets launched the Sputnik and the new rockets kept experiencing problems while the old Redstone proved reliable and got the basic job done to get a payload of any size into the orbit. Redstone saved face for the American space program after the Sputnik, so Von Braun was back in the favor.

Argentina took in known Nazis who provided no expertise. So your comparison is not accurate. While the Americans actions were unsavory, there was a rationale behind them due to the Cold War brewing with Soviet Union.

You have to differentiate between Germans / Convenient Nazis and Ideological Nazis. Von Braun and his mob were largely Germans and Convenient Nazis. Those who were party members had done so for advancement and opportunity. They were investigated for their role and (conveniently) found not responsible for the horrors of the slave camps. This is different to Ideological Nazis like Eichman who fled to Argentina to avoid an investigation they would not survive.
@davidrendall71954 жыл бұрын
It's also worth pointing out that Kurt Tank was barely even a Convenient Nazi. He ended up in Argentina as the result of a Peron government contract for a home built jet fighter that French and British Companies had bid for and lost. It could just as easily been DeHaviland, Gloster or Dewonite.

That is why the US Army confiscated more than 750,000 patents and countless developments that had not yet been registered for patents against the provisions of international law; it was not only rockets, aircraft, weapons, tanks, ammunition and flying disks, but also the submarine boats were way ahead of the times. Most of them were German scientists and little or no interest in politics. In other words: Not every American has an Indian scalp on his belt.
@giovannipierre53094 жыл бұрын
Hans Holger How were they ahead in aircraft, submarines and tanks Hans? The British invented the jet engine. The ME262 and the Gloster Meteor entered operational service within days of each other but the Meteor was a more fly able aircraft and developed much further. The British could handle any tanks the Germans had with the 17 pounder Firefly, the Comet and towards the end of the war had developed the *Centurion.* In WW1 the Royal Navy had the R class submarines with an underwater speed of 15 knots and an array of hydrophones in the bow. Not a new idea. The Type XX1 technology wasn’t particularly advanced. It had a big battery and motors and a streamlined casing to give it high speed. Some British S class had already been streamlined to give more speed before XX1 was operational. Also the British Squid and associated depth finding sonar were far in advance of anything the Germans had. The Allies didn’t need fast submarines when the enemy had very little ASW. By the time the Germans managed to get the Type XX1 submarine to sea the a British had already fielded their own high speed submarines (such as HMS Seraph) in order to develop the sensors, weapons and tactics that would counter the Type XX1 ( like the _Squid_ ASW mortar and the Type 147 sonar) Since there was by 1944 no German (and hardly any Japanese) Navy or merchant marine fleet left to fight, fielding high-sped submarines was initially a lower priority but the Cold War ramped it up again. The threatened conflict with the USSR would have involved a large amount of submarine warfare, hence some of the more advanced Allied submarine ASW capability remained closely held for some time while the Type XX1 was known and publicised. Read Hackmann’s _”Seek and strike:_ _Sonar, anti-submarine warfare and the Royal Navy 1914-1954_ (1984 , The Stationary Office) to better educate yourself.

@@giovannipierre5309 Not necessarily in aircraft, the US were already operating the P-80 and the Brits the Meteor, but they had more experience with jets overall. The excellent Nene jet engine was developed by the Brits after the war based on German testing. The German tanks were also not that great, but the last generation of Panthers featured advanced infrared vision systems that, while ultimately not changing anything, lead to some stunning night battle results. Also the German late war AA tank designs were great. For the submarines, that's the only tech besides rockets where Germany was really far ahead of anyone else. The Type XXI and Type XXIII streamlined hulls and huge battery load combined with a snorkel resulted in a submarine that could stay submerged basically all the time and was, for the very first time, much faster submerged than surfaced. All submarines before this were rather submersibles than actual submarines. It took the US, UK and USSR years to get their variants of the captured German designs up to the same standards...save for quality of course, main reason the XXI was never able to really go into action was poor late war standards in German naval industry resulting in poor hull integrity and monthlong fixup times, delaying the XXI too long. The Type XXIII though went into action as it was smaller and easier to fix, and sunk quite a number of Allied supply ships in the English Channel and other coastal waters.

He was probably too annoyed with the fact they overflowed every National Bank's vaults, to the point where the corridors were stacked up with gold ingots. It was an absolutely different society, for sure. After Peron, your joke/meme, became true, every single day, sadly.

Volker Greve The Germans (and essentially the rest of the World industrialized in the first place thanks to British capital and technology) “The difference between the less developed and the more developed nations is a function of time: the British started to save sooner than all other nations: they also started sooner to accumulate capital and to invest it in business. Because they started sooner, there was a higher standard of living in Great Britain when, in all other European countries, there was still a lower standard of living. Gradually, all the other nations began to study British conditions, and it was not difficult for them to discover the reason for Great Britain's wealth. So they began to imitate the methods of British business. Since other nations started later, and since the British did not stop investing capital, there remained a large difference between conditions in England and conditions in those other countries. But something happened which caused the headstart of Great Britain to disappear. What happened was the greatest event in the history of the nineteenth century, and this means not only in the history of an individual country. This great event was the development, in the nineteenth century, of foreign investment. In 1817, the great British economist Ricardo still took it for granted that capital could be invested only within the borders of a country. He took it for granted that capitalists would not try to invest abroad. But a few decades later, capital investment abroad began to play a most important role in world affairs. Without capital investment it would have been necessary for nations less developed than Great Britain to start with the methods and the technology with which the British had started in the beginning and middle of the eighteenth century, and slowly, step by step - always far below the technological level of the British economy - try to imitate what the British had done. It would have taken many, many decades for these countries to attain the standard of technological development which Great Britain had reached a hundred years or more before them. But the great event that helped all these countries was foreign investment. Foreign investment meant that British capitalists invested British capital in other parts of the world. They first invested it in those European countries which, from the point of view of Great Britain, were short of capital and backward in their development. It is a well-known fact that the railroads of most European countries, and also of the United States, were built with the aid of British capital. You know that the same happened in this country, in Argentina. The gas companies in all the cities of Europe were also British. In the mid 1870s, a British author and poet criticized his countrymen. He said, "The British have lost their old vigor and they have no longer any new ideas. They are no longer an important or leading nation in the world." To which Herbert Spencer, the great sociologist, answered, "Look at the European continent. All European capitals have light because a British gas company provides them with gas." This was, of course, in what seems to us the "remote" age of gas lighting. Further answering this British critic, Herbert Spencer added, "You say that the Germans are far ahead of Great Britain. But look at Germany. Even Berlin, the capital of the German Reich, the capital of Geist, would be in the dark if a British gas company had not invaded the country and lighted the streets." In the same way, British capital developed the railroads and many branches of industry in the United States. And, of course, as long as a country imports capital its balance of trade is what the noneconomists call "unfavorable." That means that it has an excess of imports over exports. The reason for the "favorable balance of trade" of Great Britain was that the British factories sent many types of equipment to the United States, and this equipment was not paid for by anything other than shares of American corporations. This period in the history of the United States lasted, by and large, until the 1890s.”
