Reminds me of Operation Paperclip in the United States.

After WWII ended and in amidst a “space race” with Russia, German scientists and other high ranking officials were recruited and placed into well paid positions within the government - most notably NASA. Records of any war crimes they may have committed during WWII were wiped away/ignored.
