OPERATION PAPERCLIP

After WWII ended in 1945, victorious Russian and American intelligence teams began a treasure hunt throughout occupied Germany for military and scientific treasures. They were looking for things like rocket and aircraft designs, medicines, and electronics. But mostly…they were looking for the scientists whose work had almost won the war for Germany…the engineers and intelligence officers that were part of the Nazi War Machine.

The U.S. Military rounded up
N-zi scientists and brought them to America. At first they were going to debrief them and send them back to Germany, but when they realized the extent of the scientists' knowledge and expertise, they decided it would be a waste to send the scientists home.

While there they found particle laser beam weaponry as well as the foo fighters at the German military bases.

Our War Department decided that they wanted this technology AND the scientists as well.

The problem? It was illegal! U.S. law explicitly prohibited Nazi officials from immigrating to America...and as many as three-quarters of the scientists in question had been committed N-zis.

Convinced that German scientists could help America's postwar efforts, President Harry Truman agreed in September 1946 to authorize "Project Paperclip," a program to bring selected German scientists to work on America's behalf during the "Cold War."
However… Truman made it clear…no one who was a member of the N*_*z*i* Party would be allowed into the United States. He specifically said,
“Anyone to have been a member of the N*_*z*i* party and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi-ism or militarism...”

The Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA)...which later became the C*I*A… conducted background investigations of these scientists.

In February 1947, JIOA Director...Bosquet Wev, submitted the first set of scientists' resumes to the State & Justice Departments for review.

The Dossiers/resumes were damning!!!

Samauel Klaus, the State Department's representative on the JIOA board, reviewed their information and reported that all the scientists in this first batch were as he said… "ardent N-zis." Their visa requests were denied.

Wev wrote a memo warning that "the best interests of the United States have been subjugated to the efforts expended in 'beating a dead N*_*z*i* horse.'"

He also declared that the return of these scientists to Germany…where they could be exploited by America's enemies, presented a "far greater security threat to this country than any former N-zi affiliations which they may have had or even any Nazi sympathies that they may still have."

The Nazi’s paperwork was whitewashed and changed. CIA director, Allen Dulles and the Military Intelligence had the scientists dossier's re-written to eliminate incriminating evidence and any reference to being “Nazis.”

Many were given prominent positions in the American scientific community. Many had been longtime members of the Nazi party and the Gestapo.

They had conducted experiments on humans in concentration camps, had used slave labor, and had comitted other war crimes.

By 1955, more than 760 German scientists were granted citizenship in the U.S.

How was this even possible if President Truman, explicitly ordered that there were to be no Nazis admitted under Project Paperclip??!!

Truman’s own State Department kept this from him. State Department archives and memoirs from that era confirm this.

Who were some of these recruits?

1. WERNER von BRAUN. A September 18, 1947, report on the German rocket scientist stated, "Subject is regarded as a potential security threat by the Military Governor."
Then his dossier was changed to read:
"No derogatory information is available on the subject...It is the opinion of the Military Governor that he may not constitute a security threat to the United States."

From 1937 to 1945, von Braun was the technical director of the Peenemunde rocket research center, where the V-2 rocket…which devastated England…was developed.

Von Braun worked on guided missiles for the U.S. Army and was later director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

He became a celebrity in the 1950s and early 1960s, as one of Walt Disney's experts on the "World of Tomorrow." In 1970, he became NASA's associate administrator.

Von Braun was also involved with Antarctica. More on that later.

2. ARTHUR RUDOLPH; During the war, Rudolph was operations director of the Mittelwerk factory at the Dora-Nordhausen concentration camps, where 20,000 workers died from beatings, hangings, and starvation.

Rudolph had been a member of the N_zi party since 1931; a 1945 military file on him said: "100% Nazi, dangerous type, security threat..!! Suggest internment."

But the JIOA's final dossier on him said there was "nothing in his records indicating that he was a war criminal, or ardent N_zi, or otherwise objectionable."

Rudolph became a US citizen and later designed the Saturn V 5 moon rocket used in the Apollo missions.

He became the main developer of the US Space Program. In 1984 he was investigated for war crimes and his US citizenship was renounced.

3. KURT BLOME:

BLOME was a high-ranking Nazi scientist. He told U.S. military interrogators in 1945 that he had been ordered in 1943 to experiment with plague vaccines on concentration camp prisoners. (The Rockefellers were tied to this).

He was tried at Nuremberg in 1947 on charges of practicing euthanasia (extermination of sick prisoners), and conducting experiments on humans.

He was acquitted.

Two months after his Nuremberg acquittal, Blome was interviewed at Camp David, regarding biological warfare. In 1951, he was hired by the U.S. Army Chemical Corps to work on chemical warfare.

His file neglected to mention his Nuremberg trial.

4. MAJOR GENERAL WALTER SCHREIBER:

Schreiber had assigned doctors to experiment on concentration camp prisoners. The assistant prosecutor said the evidence would have convicted Schreiber if the Soviets, who held him from 1945 to 1948, had made him available for trial.

As with the others, Schreiber's Paperclip file made no mention of this evidence.
He went on to work for The Air Force School of Medicine at Randolph Field in Texas.

Eventually he was found out, and received negative publicity. The JOIA gave him a visa and a job in Argentina, where his daughter was living. On May 22, 1952, he was flown to Buenos Aires.
