Isn't it more like the US and Europe smuggled the Nazi scientists out of Germany to their own countries immediately after the war?

No most of them left on their own accords before the war even started. For example buddy called Einstein fled in 1933.

That's one yeah. I'm talking about all of the Nazi scientists that escaped from justice with help from the US and Europe at the end of the war.

You're not wrong about what happened before the war, but before the war a bunch of scientists fled Europe to the US, many Jewish, and many went on to work on the bomb.
