It was more like Operation Paperclip imported the genocidal delusions of superiority and world domination, and was stabbed in the back on the rockets. The rocketeers in New Mexico were in contact with their counterparts on the other side and threw the first 'first' to the Soviets. Remember the rockets pin-wheeling off the launch pad at Vandenburg AFB?
It was John Kennedy paying Marshal Tito a few billion for the Hungarian space program, that allowed him to propose the Apollo program a few months later.
