By the Allies (as well as the German people) to suit their own aims - along
with the likes of Werner Braun  (my dad was on the receiving end of both a
V1 ( not Werners) and a V2 during the war... yet is still a fan of
Braun...). they did it because it was expedient to re-build Germany and face
the Cold War menace - guilt - what's that! and soon it was forgive and
forget time.

Some industrialist who were major Nazi party figures were back at work in a
few years and allowed to retire in time as valued members of society....

(waiting for marc here with the full facts!)
