I don't know how famous. Last name was Allen, but I don't know if that was an americanization, a change or real. She never wanted to talk about her family's german past.
I searched:
Nazi rocket scientist allen
Huntsville rocket scientist allen
U.S. Space & Rocket Center allen

Well, I never thought of it as being ZZima, but it does seem to be the Master Beer for some.
Seriously, I've met a number of people from Germany. I worked in a well known biological research lab in the late 70's. The lab Director was something of a total asshole (personal friend of Chang Kai Shek). His executive assistant was a notoriouosly nasty American woman who was universally loathed by the staff. She had this 1940's style console for paging people, but the word was she would sit there with her finger on the button and eavesdrop on lab conversations at will. She was also very nasty and none of the questions she would ask were not leading. We had a visiting post-doc from Germany. He was very amiable and seemed like a good chap. My biggest blunder with him, was, well... he'd just come back from an interaction with the executive assistant and remarked, laughingly, that he should take her back to Germany. I replied, "Oh, no, she'd start another war!". I smiled when I said it, but his face fell and he looked crestfallen. I instantly felt bad. We didn't talk much after that. Perhaps because he was headed back to Germany. Not sure. But I would guess most Germans are rather sensitive about such talk (as in the hysterically funny episode of Fawlty Towers where John Cleese cannot stop himself from mentioning "The War" until his guests from Germany start begging him to stop mentioning "The War"...) ...
I will guess these events were at Ft Detrick; anyway, I say Americans will have the same reaction the German doctor had when one mentions "the war" to him as we will have 30 years from now when someone mentions trump.

Grandpa, what did you do to stop Trump?
I have some relatives, Christian side of the family, a married couple in Hamburg. They are near my age, so it would have been their grandparents that did whatever during WW2 - I didn't ask and they never volunteered. At my suggestion we visited Hamburg's Neuengamme concentration camp. They had never been. Did they even know about it? I can't remember, this was nearly 30 years ago. We were all moved, of course, and they seemed mostly at ease with talking about how fucked up Nazi Germany was back then.

When I was drinking real beer, I would get mini-kegs, such as Heinken or Hofbrau München (HB Oktoberfestbier). Both good and better than from cans or bottles. Heinken in particular. For some reason, their bottles always seem to me to have a metallic taste, but the mini-kegs are OK. Just picked up another mini-keg of HB. Too much carb, but you only live once.
I will have to see if anyone has minikegs of a decent light beer.
I always thought PBRs has a metallic taste to them.
Your alcoholic comedian buddy Ron White - "People are saying that I'm an alcoholic, and that's not true, because I only drink when I work, and I'm a workaholic."
The speaker guy I worked for has about two dozen cases of Billy beer. He also has about the same quantity of Knoxville Worlds Fair Beer. They are all still sitting on pallets in the basement of the shop.

Billy Beer was just Falls City Beer - which was fairly popular with the Middle Tennessee crowd but an awful tasting cheap beer. Thankfully the Billy move killed the brewery.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
... He said the factory apparently dates back to the region of King Narmer, who is widely known for his unification of ancient Egypt at the beginning of the First Dynastic Period (3150BC-2613BC)....
I wonder if the brewery had anything to do with the unification?
The archaeologists report that beer found sealed in ancient jugs still tastes better than Bud Light.
