Von Braun had no choice, you just didn't turn down an invitation/order from the Third Reich to join the SS. If you did you may have been signing your own death warrant at any point down the road. He was arrested, jailed and interrogated by the Gestapo as it was.
The U.S. and Russia were in a race to get the best of the German scientists for fear that if they didn't the other country would - and they would have. Most went to the U.S., after what Germany did to Russia they rightfully were scared shitless how the Russians would treat them.
