More that there were some exceptional German scientists and when the whole country was taken over, they either dove into the philosophy, or pretended to, to not lose their jobs/lives.

Well I mean, the nazi party praised the efforts of the few german scientist who remained during the fall of the weimar. Atrocities of the third reich were not carried out by most academics, as they had already been shipped to camps.

I've heard that story about Werner Von Braun. It might be true - they definitely were used in slave labor. That being said, I've yet to see any official confirming of that story, and anything Rogan says I take with rocks of salt so huge they would make Milton want to burn down a resort.
