At the end of World War II, Wernher von Braun and his rocket research team did not formally surrender; instead, they chose to defect to the United States. As the war was ending, they sought protection from the advancing Allied forces, believing that their expertise in rocket technology would be valuable to the Americans. In May 1945, they surrendered to U.S. forces in Germany, and subsequently, many members of the team were brought to the U.S. as part of Operation Paperclip, where they contributed significantly to the American space program.
Dr. Wernher Von Braun helped develop the V2 rocket missile and later helped the Americans use it as a Paperclip scientist at White Sands Missile Range. HEe also was a pioneer in rocket technology.

Werner von Braun
Wernher Von Braun was a German rocket scientist, he worked for the U.s.A to develop their rockets like the Saturn 5 rocket for the Apollo spacecraft.
The V1 and V2 rocket technology was developed and perfected by a team of German scientists under the leadership of pioneering rocketeer Dr. Wernher von Braun. It was von Braun, considered to be the top rocket engineer of the century, who was Germany's key leader in rocket technology that led to the success of the V1 and V2 rockets. Toward the end of the war, pioneer pioneer von Braun led his team to the American lines and surrendered to the Allies, rather than face being captured by the advancing Soviets. He and his team were brought to the United States, and after a period where their records were "bleached" by U.S. intelligence of their former past, they were put to work on the U.S. rocket programs. Von Braun became NASA's leader in rocket development, which culminated in the design and success of the Saturn V rocket.

Wernher von Braun did not invent the rocket. From historical records it was more than likely the Chinese who invented the rocket. For information about the V-2 see related questions.
Wernher von Braun did not invent the rocket. He was a leading figure in the development of rocket technology and played a key role in the development of the V-2 rocket for Nazi Germany during World War II. He later became a prominent figure in the American space program.
