TOP SECRET No More What the U S Government Finally Admitted About Nazi Scientists

Why the US secretly brought Nazi scientists to America after WW2 — and hid their past from the public. This World War 2 story reveals how a desperate race for German technology led the United States to cut moral corners that would stay buried for decades.

Early 2000s. In a quiet government records room in Washington, D.C., a federal archivist pulls down a dusty box stamped Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Inside are yellowed CIA memos, Army intelligence reports, immigration files marked SECRET—and one title that appears again and again: Operation Paperclip.

For decades, officials insisted only a few “clean” German scientists were brought to America after the war. But the files in that box tell a different story. They trace a path from the V-2 tunnels of Dora–Mittelbau, where prisoners died building rockets in underground hell, to the test stands of White Sands and the launch pads of Cape Canaveral, where some of the same engineers helped design the missiles and moon rockets that defined the Cold War.

Every ethical alarm said it shouldn’t happen. Nuremberg said war crimes must be punished. Survivors said their suffering should not be forgotten. Yet as the Soviet Union rushed to seize its own German experts, US intelligence quietly rewrote biographies, deleted Nazi Party ties, and used paperclips to attach “clean” cover stories to dirty files.

What the archivist is holding is not just paperwork—it’s proof that, in the name of staying ahead of Moscow, a democracy chose to protect men who had served a murderous regime, then turned them into the celebrated architects of America’s rocket age.

Watch to discover how Operation Paperclip really worked, how long the truth stayed buried, and what declassified files finally revealed about the shadow deal behind America’s space and missile programs.
