I understand that we needed help because we were technologically behind and needed to bomb the Japanese but still. What are your views on this?

Those Nazi scientists and the information they gathered through years of brutal experiments has saved more lives than they had taken in the years since. Had the US executed them or not grabbed them up, everything they had learned would have gone to waste.

We weren’t THAT far behind the Germans. For instance we were light years ahead of the Germans on the 1 and only secret weapons project that could win the war: the atomic bomb. The Germans, for all the fear we had that we were trying to catch up, only ever scratched the surface of atomic weaponry research. Yeah, the Germans were ahead of rocketry and jet research, but neither played any significant role in wrapping up the war in the Pacific. Anyways, the German research and scientists we got were not useful for ending WW2, but were considered vital for confronting the Russians at the start of the Cold War.
We were too easy on the Nazis and denazification. I think we were too quick to forget the Nazis atrocities and turn towards confronting the Soviets. Too many Nazis were able to evade capture and justice. Thankfully the Israelis kept on hunting these guys.

Although many scientists worked for the Nazi-controlled countries, they never held Nazi values. They were refugees who fled to America to escape the Nazi regime.
It was actually great for America because, as you said, they caught America up on technology by building the computing industries, nuclear industries, NASA, etc...
The United States were too soft on the Nazis in a different way--- by not making the D-Day happen sooner.
