Reference to Operation Paperclip, which was a post-World War II secret program of the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) largely carried out by Special Agents of the Army, in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians, such as Wernher von Braun and his V-2 rocket team, were recruited in post-Nazi Germany and taken to the U.S. for government employment, primarily between 1945 and 1959. Many were former members, and some were former leaders, of the Nazi Party. In a secret directive circulated on September 3, 1946, President Truman officially approved Operation Paperclip. The New York Times, Newsweek and other media outlets exposed Paperclip as early as December 1946.

It went on and opposition abated until the operation became “forgotten” by the public at large, certainly at the time of writing. Numerous studies and books started to appear on the subject since President Clinton signed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act in 1998.
