I don’t think it matters whether you’re labelled a Nazi or not, when the country that hires you you defect to puts the weapons of mass destruction you were helping to research to practical use.You’re assisting horrible people, one way or the other.
The Nazis were most definitely planning on doing the same thing had they gotten the chance, mind you, but I cannot fathom one using the weapons of mass destruction that the evil of the world planned to use, on not one, but two cities containing mostly civilians, and then call oneself a “hero” or the “good guy”.
In some cases these scientists are why the Nazis didn’t get nukes because they were quietly sabotaging the program by pursuing known dead ends. Scientists in the US were actually baffled by the lack of progress, since German scientists were publishing good theoretical work.
