After the tides of war shifted to the Allies, even the scientists who were Nazi sympathizers understood that post-war employment opportunities would be better in the west.

Why did us rocket research boom in the 1950?
Because the American government took a lot of research from German scientists after World War 2 and also many German scientists were given jobs there.
Why did German scientists first help the US develop an atomic bomb?
They has fled the fascist government in Germany
What was the German scientists name who initiated your space program?
By "your" I assume you mean America's. There were a bunch of German rocket scientists repatriated to the US after World War II, but the one you're probably thinking of is Wernher von Braun.
Who was involved in the Manhattan project?
Some German scientists helped with the bombs but really it was a secret endeavor of the US only.
Who was the German who tried to get Mexico to go to war against the US?
Zimmerman
What was the code name for the experimental rocket missiles the German scientists invented?
A4 was the German v2
Why did the US atomic bomb program go further than the German atomic bomb program?
Largely because the German scientists on the Nazi project made mistakes that the US, British, and Canadian scientists on the US project did not make. Some of this was likely due to the German system of not challenging authority that did not exist in the US, Great Britain, or Canada. There is also some speculation that Werner Heisenberg (the director of the Nazi project) was more interested in provide work for German scientists that could keep them out of the German military during the war than he was in actually building an atomic bomb, so he may not have double checked things.Some of the mistakes that the German scientists made were:when the German scientists tested graphite as a possible neutron moderator for use in reactors they found it absorbed too many neutrons to be usable and abandoned it, when the US scientists did the same they realized that the neutrons were being absorbed by boron contaminating the graphite and ordered boron free graphite for use in reactorsthe German scientists then selected heavy water as the neutron moderator for use in reactors, but there was only one plant in the world at that time capable of making the quantities of heavy water they needed, it was in Norway and the costs of making heavy water was many times that of making the boron free graphite that the US scientists were usingthe German scientists made an error in the calculation of the critical mass of uranium-235 that suggested that an atomic bomb would weigh about 50 tons, far too heavy for any bomber any country might be able to build before the end of World War 2, the US scientists correctly calculated the critical masses of both uranium-235 and plutonium and were able to build atomic bombs weighing 5 tons using both materials and had the new B-29 that could carry a bomb that heavy (the British already had the Avro Lancaster bomber that could carry a bomb weighing 6 tons, but the US wanted to use their own bomber not a British one)there are indications that the German scientists never discovered plutonium (which has a lower critical mass than uranium-235) which the US scientists did and found to be less expensive to make in large quantities using reactors than uranium-235 is to enrich from natural uranium (this oversight likely happened as Germany did not have large high power cyclotrons like existed at UC Berkeley where US scientists produced the first measurable quantities of plutonium in the world)etc.These errors lead Albert Speer to have Heisenberg scale back their project, canceling all atomic bomb development and concentrating entirely on basic research on nuclear reactors that might be scaled up after Nazi Germany won the war to build nuclear power plants for generating electricity and probably inexpensive steam heat for nearby homes and businesses.
What German official tried to get Mexico to go to war with the US?
Arthur Zimmerman.
At what year did the us gonerment think the Nazis were building the atom bomb?
1938 so we "pursueded" German scientists to come to our side and started the Manhattan project.
Who told the Americans to bomb hiroshima?
German Jew scientists.
What happen to German scientist after World War 2?
Many of the scientists were taken to the US where they could use their talents to advance US interests . For example , Wernher von Braun helped the US develop it's rocket technology .
What three scientists helped out with the cell theory?
Three German scientists. Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann and Rudolph Virchow.
