Are you going to keep pretending that you don't know the Frank Byrne Quote is from MoonFaker Exhibit D?
Are you going to pretend you haven't already been told this?

No, Jarrah is using film that Jarrah claims is the original transmission. Jarrah would never edit anything, would he? Oh, wait! That's all he does, isn't it?

Have you contacted Jarrah White to find an answer to your question?
Or do you think posting it on a thread somewhere on an internet forum where Jarrah White is not a member will make up for actually contacting him?
The man was clearly alive when he was interviewed and that interview is in MoonFaker Exhibit D - which you apparently did not watch.

You can clearly see 'Edits' that are not done by him. It seems, there are edits on the "LIVE FEED" . At first I thought it was the astronauts just turning off their camera's etc, but the audio should've cut out and the flag transition shot is rather obvious as being edited.

NOPE. Not at all...
...and Russians basically owned us in the space race...
Go read a darn book, please!
Alan Shephard would have been first in orbit, but there WERE inconsistencies in the Atlas rocket....they wanted to keep testing, because of previous failures (explosions). Shephard was ready, and wanted to go, but to be safe, they launched ONE MORE unmanned Atlas first...worked perfectly.
Gagarin's launch was shortly after.
Other USSR "firsts"?? Well, the 'spacewalk' was a stunt, just to "be first"...Cosmonaut nearly died, and they kept that REAL quiet. (His suit expanded so much, after exiting the capsule, that he almost couldn't get back in...had to partially deflate his suit).
The first "waman" in space?? Wasn't even a Cosmonaut. Just some poor, hapless janitor they found somewhere, and forced her to go, after minimal instruction. Really, she didn't have ANYTHING to do, it was all controlled from the ground. She was for propaganda, only. She did have ONE tas, and that was to read a prepared propaganda statement piece on the radio.
She was scared poopless the entire time.
Soviets were WELL behind...they even planned to be the first to send man out and back to circumnavigate the Moon, but had too many equipment failures, so Apollo 8 beat them to the punch.
Soviets also were WELL behind in learning how to rendezvois on orbit...a critical skill.
Their N-1 heavy launch rocket never worked properly, and one of their (unknown, to the USA, back then) huge explosions killed over 80 scientists, in just that one tragedy.
WAY, way behind, they were.
GO READ A BOOK!

No, You go read a book. I read this in all my history books. The Russians were first in everything. We were so desperate to win something and it might as well be to land on the moon at any cost.

Since when is being "first" the same as being the "best?" Did you even read Weedwhacker's post? The US could have launched a satellite as early as 1956, but Eisenhower was adamant that it be done by a civilian agency, not the military. If being first makes you a better, we'd all be watching Betamax videos these days.

I take it from the mess you posted you have no answers to anybody's questions.
But I'd really like to know when Werner von Braun was found to be a war criminal.

No you dont, otherwise you would go investigate for yourself, unless you dont believe that targeting and killing people with V2 rockets would be considered a war crime.

I want to know which DVD the original NASA footage was on, not the edited footage on YouTube. There is such a DVD, isn't there? Or is it only the edited footage on YouTube?

So, you admit he isn't a real "war criminal" in the Nuremberg sense. You've just decided to name him as one.
Can you give any evidence he was responsible for the actual choosing of targets for the V2?
Their number now down to about a dozen, the German team's accomplishments are indisputable: Manned space flight, including lunar landings, the space shuttle and the international space station -- all the direct result of their work developing rockets in the United States following World War II.
Despite von Braun's lifelong ambition of sending rockets into orbit and landing men on the moon _ he devoted his life to rocketry at the age of 13 _ Army brass were mostly interested in ballistic missile development as a countermeasure to communist Russia under Stalin.
``The space function was really an afterthought,'' said Konrad Dannenberg, a member of the original team who retired from NASA in 1973.
With ``Project Paperclip'' under way, Army officials essentially gave the German team the task of continuing work on the V-2 rocket that had been developed under Hitler.
The V-2 had been created and produced by von Braun's team during 1940-45 at an isolated outpost on the Baltic sea near a town called Peenemuende. V-2 work later was also done at Mittelwerk at the foot of the Harz mountains in central Germany.
The V-2, shrieking across the sky and exploding into homes and buildings, was used on England in the closing months of World War II.
``They wanted to know everything about the (V-2s),'' Jacobi said of the U.S. Army officials who first worked with the physicist von Braun and his team. ``Quite a few people thought that going into space was a crazy idea.''
Dahm, who still works at the Marshall center, said one part of the group's legacy is their contribution to America's efforts during the Cold War arms race after World War II.
One purpose of Operation Paperclip was to deny German scientific knowledge and expertise to the USSR and the UK... US President Harry Truman did not formally order the execution of Operation Paperclip until August 1945. Truman's order expressly excluded anyone found “to have been a member of the Nazi Party, and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi militarism.” Said restriction would have rendered ineligible most of the scientists the JIOA had identified for recruitment, among them rocket scientists Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, and the physician Hubertus Strughold, each earlier classified as a “menace to the security of the Allied Forces”.
To circumvent President Truman’s anti-Nazi order... the JIOA worked independently to create false employment and political biographies for the scientists. The JIOA also expunged from the public record the scientists' Nazi Party memberships and régime affiliations. Once “bleached” of their Nazism, the US Government granted the scientists security clearance...

You only prove us right, when you act in such a manner.
The Moon landings happened, deal with it.
