You could of looked all that (or any of it) up yourself. Instead of looking into it you go after the messenger.The "messenger" is well known for being full of shit. Is it a legit charity? It's not my job to find out. If AssupLiar thinks they're getting screwed, the he can show they are legit. Even if they are legit, what makes them more deserving than the hundreds of other legit veteran's charities? You can't fund everyone.
Because he said something you didn't want to hear. Instead of getting the information to debunk his post you make a completely uninformed judgment. of spam.
At least you know the same amount of info you knew when you challenged the messenger and dismissed his source.
And everyone knows how much interest in the issue you have. Originally Posted by Munchmasterman

Von Braun cosied up up to the Wehrmacht because they were his only source of funding for his large scale rocket plans. but .. if you weren't an ignert troll you'd know that yeah?
German career
Involvement with the Nazi regime
Party membership
Von Braun had an ambivalent and complex relationship with the Nazi regime of the Third Reich. He officially applied for membership in the Nazi Party on November 12, 1937 and was issued with membership number 5,738,692.[19]:96
Michael J. Neufeld, the widely published author of aerospace history and the chief of the Space History Division at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, wrote that ten years after von Braun obtained his Nazi Party membership, he produced an affidavit for the U.S. Army misrepresenting the year of his membership, saying incorrectly:[19]:96In 1939, I was officially demanded to join the National Socialist Party.
