Description

When the Third Reich fell, there was a mad grab for German technology by the United States. Although many of the scientists recruited under this top secret operation were proven or probable war criminals, the perceived advantages were too good to pass up. Join us as we declassify the origins and legacy of Operation Paperclip.  From being tracked down by elite T Forces, to building rockets for NASA, we find that some of these "intellectual assets" got off too easy.
