He probably wasn't any more or less of a Nazi then Leni, although slave
labor from Dora concentration camp was instrumental in building the research
facilities he administered.
The point is that a guy like Von Braun, an honorary SS member, can admit to
using slave labor and we don't seem to mind because his relationship to
genocidal maniacs was "complicated", while Leni admits a great admiration
for Hitler and no one can forgive her.
I guess love is the more heinous crime here.

Hi Chris,
AFAIK it was Wernher von Braun who worked, shortly after his arrival in
the States, for a short time with Disney.
I seem to remember having heard that he was also consulted on some
aspects of EPCOT too.
