Von Braun probably had a longer sentence then many of the Gestapo. He was a prisoner of peace for quite sometime.

The scientists became part of the recoup cost of the war. If anything it really was the only capital worth taking from the defeated Axis as they were bleed dry at that point. Much better then fining them billions and laying the foundations for another World War.

As a fan of science and someone with a multidisciplinary science degree; I've worked in exploration and IT. The scope and breadth of science means that not all of us are interested or suitable for all areas of science or technology. We are also not all attracted to the same area.

All bar one of the physics students I did my undergrad with like space. Ironically the one left over worked on satellites...
