It comes up a couple of times.
But what makes his character interesting isnt just his Nazi past, he was a very different kind of guy. Very nihilist in the sense that he wasnt an ideologue.
All he wanted to do was build rockets. Admittedly he wasnt fussy about who or how they got built, and thats where you get into problem of Jewish Slave Labour, but thats all he wanted to do.
I vaguely recall, and I apologize if I get it wrong, but the real Werner van Braun once looked at the V2 rocket and lamented that 'it wasnt pointed in the right direction.'
Because the Germans wanted it to hit London and he wanted it to go to the Moon.
