Saw an interesting documentary years ago . . .

That said the US and Russia split up Germany's rocket scientists and that Von Braun's crew played to their new home crowd as evidenced by booster rocket flare. Von Braun's boosters burned in a brilliant yellowish glare almost like it was a firework while the Russian boosters burned a smaller, less colorful flame and they lifted heavier payloads. Von Braun was giving the US a "show" while Russian scientists were less interested in show and more interested in go.

It also stated that the acquirred German scientists worked with their Russian counterparts and when they had fed them all they knew they were banished to a miserable post-war lifestyle while the new Americans were enjoying civil service pay and our post war boom.

YMMV.
