Oh yeah, let's use the Nazi opportunist Oppenheimer as an inspiration so we can sweep the fact that the USA recruited him from the rubbles of the German Reich because they were so impressed with his cruise missiles.
You’re actually thinking of Wernher von Braun there.
I could be wrong, but I don't think Oppenheimer was a Nazi.
He was born in New York to German Jewish immigrants.
And like many members of the Manhattan project he was driven out of fear that the Nazis would build the bomb first
we did recruit Nazi scientists, that's true, but last I checked, we did that after WWII was over and the Nazi empire was, in fact, rubble.
I should not need to explain why the events of Oppenheimer take place before that point.
