Operation Paperclip: Recruiting Nazi Scientists

As WWII waned, the Allies raced to recruit German scientists and technology.  This was a highly effective effort led by the OSS.  Among the scientists brought to America was Wernher von Braun, who had developed the V-2 rocket.  Topics for this lecture include: secret U.S. interrogation centers; history of Paperclip (and related operations); Peenemunde; the Church Committee; declassified CIA research (Star Gate, MKULTRA); and related British and Soviet operations.  Instructor: Thomas Eastwood
