  I would hardly call being a Nazi a side belief or oddity. It was a pretty defining part of his identity. Same with Jack Parsons and occultism - it helped shaped much of his personality and beliefs. Regardless of all of that, the point I was attempting to make, wasn't they were Nazis or occultists. Rather, it was that they were members of influential societies / networks of people and didn't necessarily obtain their positions based on merit alone, similar to the lumberjack.

    They don't seem to care. It's not, by the way, like the other side hasn't done similar things. In fact, it seems common here in the US to employ people for some other reason than them being capable of something.

      Von Braun is a rocket scientist and engineer. Is that not a reasonable qualification to be employed at a high position in NASA?

    It's a side belief related to his work as a rocket scientist and engineer which is relevant skill to be employed at his position in NASA
