Did von Braun bring back rocks?
Not that I know of.
I was wondering how the conspiracist myth that von Braun was sent to Antactica to collect hundreds of pounds of moon rocks evolved into what it is today.
They found out that he went to Antarctica for a holiday in 1968, and since today we know that it is a good place to locate meteorites, as well as being the site of the first known lunarites, they put 2 and 2 together and come up with 15. funnily enough the best sopurce of lunarites seems to be Tunisa (due to it's desert conditions they stand out) but no one suggests that the moonrock came from there.
