It should be noted, once the soviets got the technical skills they needed from the nazi scientists, they were deported back to Germany. Some were fined/deported for being irresponsible with rocket fuel.
Unlike Operation Paperclip where they were given citizenship and put in charge of scientific programs and prisons in America.
Or Operation Bloodstone, where the CIA put nazi war criminals in charge of South American special police forces to do more warcrimes under the guise of anti-communism.
That's kinda debatable. They were deported back to East Germany, which was still under Soviet control, and were placed in charge of scientific programs and universities.
Who do you think ran the nkvd in East Germany? Unfortunately both great powers were a little too friendly towards the former Nazi for my taste. Though the Americans were the main proponents of the clean wehrmacht theory we are still entrenched in today.
Regarding paperclip, the US grabbed leaders, program architects and STEM bureaucrats. These types of people can't really have their knowledge or skill extracted, then be discarded.
I'm not excusing any behavior here, but folks like von Braun bargained for what they got and the US gov cared more about rockets than principles.
I expect von Braun and friends would have had similar treatment in the Soviet union, had the soviets been lucky enough to catch them first
