Nazi Scientists: America's Cold War Secret

After World War 2, the United States made a controversial move…

They hired Nazi scientists. Under Operation Paperclip, over 1,600 German

experts — including engineers and former SS members — were secretly brought to America.

Their mission? Help America win the Cold War. They worked on rockets, missiles,

and even laid the groundwork for NASA. One of them, Wernher von Braun, even helped launch

the Saturn V rocket… and land humans on the Moon. The program was kept quiet — the

scientists’ pasts, often erased. For some, it was a brilliant strategy.

For others, a moral compromise. A victory built with secrets… And shadows.
