Given the time and place, so too would you have been.

I would probably not have been openly speaking out against the nazi's in germany during the height of the war, but joining their ranks to advance my career is another point. Maybe I would if I was given the opportunity. Given his status as a rocketscientist, I can imagine that's exactly the opportunity that Von Braun was offered.
