How prevalent/impactful were ex Nazi scientists in NASA, during the space race of the 1950s and 1960s?

by RealLameUserName

Sometimes when the moon landing comes up, people will tear it down by saying that either it would've have been impossible to have been done without Nazi scientists or that Americans couldn't have gone there on their own without significant ex Nazi assistance. I know that there were several ex Nazi scientists who worked at NASA, but my question is how big of a Nazi presence was there at NASA?

Much more can be said, but in the mean time;

This very old answer by u/restricteddata Why were the Nazi scientists during/after WW2 so successful? touches briefly on the question of how much the German's contributed to the moon landing

Nazi and Jewish scientists at NASA written by u/snuffbirdvery briefly mentions the some numbers of scientists
