Original Note:
Neither scientist ever entered the US as a refugee. They surrendered to the Army who flew them to the U.S. in military custody in Nov. 1945. Both received U.S. visas in 1949, and the Army normalized their status by driving them to Juarez where they re-crossed the border. https://warhistory.org/@msw/article/von-braun-to-the-usa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rudolph https://archive.org/details/annie-jacobsen-operation-paperclip.-the-secret-intelligence-program-that-brought
