        But the initial claim was “joined WWII in 1941” which is wrong.

    Did they actually take German scientists? Why have I never heard this?

    Edit - well, there’s a wiki article and hike that i need to jump down. This doesn’t bore well for the MLs that insists the soviets killed all Nazis

      Of note, though, that the influence of the nazis on their space program was marginal. What they really got from them was stamping tech.

    I was in Moscow around 2015 and while it’s by no means a perfect mirror it did in many ways have “Bizarro America” vibes. Big auth superpower nations just do certain things in common and do them very differently than smaller nations.
