Program yang membawa Nazi ke Amerika - Brian Crim

Pada bulan Mei 1945, Reich Ketiga dilanda kekacauan. Adolf Hitler telah mati dan Jerman hampir menyerah. Meski Perang Dunia II hampir usai, perang baru mulai bergulir. Dan AS ingin merekrut para pemikir terpandai di Jerman sebelum Soviet mendapat kesempatan— terlepas dari afiliasi mereka dengan Nazi. Operasi ini dikenal sebagai Operasi Paperclip. Brian Crim menelusuri kampanye terselubung tersebut. [Sutradara: Jeff Le Bars, JetPropulsion.space, Narator: Adrian Dannatt, Musik: Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

After World War II, the US orchestrated Operation Paperclip, secretly bringing over 1,500 German scientists—including former Nazis—to speed up its Cold War arsenal. Wernher von Braun, who once led SS rocket projects using forced labor, became a celebrated architect of the American space program. The operation stirred fierce controversy, as citizenship and safety were offered to former enemies while millions of displaced people were denied refuge. Ultimately, the legacy of Paperclip blurs the line between scientific progress and moral compromise.
