I see where you're coming from, but von Braun doesn't deserve to be mentioned next to these guys.
In reverse order, the first fled the Nazis and revolutionised our understanding of the universe. The second dedicated his life first to fighting the Nazis, then to regulate nuclear weapons. The third bombed London and was a literal Nazi.
Von Braun was a nazi just as much as Eichmann was. The only reason he went free after the war was that he had knowledge that was useful against the Soviets. He played an key role in the Third Reich war machine, and didn't regret it for a second.
The quote I wrote isn't something he actually said, or at least not in public. It's from the brilliant Tom Lehrer, rightfully calling out what a fucking soulless hypocrite he was.
