Operation Paperclip: A Nazi Tale
At the end of World War II, the Americans imported more than 1,400 Nazi scientists. It was decided that their knowledge outweighed their crimes, so these chemists, physicists, biologists and aeronautics experts were brought to the United States to lead NASA and conduct groundbreaking research under a secretive program called Operation Paperclip. Here, Joe Rogan interviews Annie Jacobsen, author of a best-selling book called Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program That Brought Nazi Scientists to America. Here, she discusses this little-known chapter in post WWII history, the cover-ups and espionage involved as well as the moral questions raised.
