A Deal with the Devil: Operation Paperclip

from Autumn's Oddities Hosted by Autumn Grube

There’s a reason that most Americans have a healthy distrust of our government. We’ve seen or heard of once top-secret documents involving secret operations that decades later become declassified and learn of the sins committed in order to become a world superpower. One such declassified operation involves the US Government making a deal with the devil in order to obtain advanced technologies after WWII.
