    I don't think the USSR would've hanged him if they got him first.

    They'd probably treat him worse and not let him head any agency though. Which would be a better course of action.

      Oh I agree, I doubt anyone who got their hands on Von Braun would have hanged him due to his expertise, that's mainly wishful thinking on my part

        The Soviets did kill quite a few experts when they were too corrupted. It was of course a strategic decision how to act towards them, but it wasn't as easy as in the USA.
