Don't sound to me much like rocket scientists, "Nazi" or otherwise. Further,
Blicero is never depicted as a scientist, aspirant or actual; in Sudwest
he's some sort of envoy I take it; later at Peenemunde and Nordhausen he's a
Nazi bureaucrat; then on the Luneberg Heath he's the commander of an A4
battery, though more a maverick than a regulation "Nazi" by this stage as
well ... but never a scientist. Don't quite understand what point you are
attempting to make.
