No, this is not possible.

Herr Obersturmbannfuehrer Wernher von Braun wasn't kidnapped by the
US troops.
Together with Generalmajor Dornberger (responsible for sending the V2s to
London, later Vice President of Bell Aero Systems Company, Buffalo, USA),
he deserted to the US forces on May the 2nd, 1945, in Reutte, Austria.

In September 1945 (four month after the end of WW2 in Europe!) he
landed in the USA.

Best regards from Braunschweig (65 miles north of the location, where all
operationla V2 missiles were built)
