I think this story may be suspect as I never read about him being arrested, as far as I am aware he believed in the cause.

I've read that he joined the Nazi Party to advance his career and that Himmler personally awarded him an SS rank. His arrest in 1944 is cited in several places:
V2ROCKET.COM - Wernher von Braun
Chapter 8 -- The Engineers before World War II
Wernher von Braun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
