Case File 159-Operation Paperclip

In 1957 the U.S. Chemical Corps of Engineers had been producing chemical munitions, using the deadly sarin nerve gas, to fulfill their stockpile requirements set by the U.S. Department of Defense. After filling these quotas, the Chemical Corps pivoted their means of production of VX nerve gas. VX had the sinister reputation of being three times as toxic as sarin when inhaled and almost one thousand times more toxic when absorbed through the skin. With one liter having the theoretical capacity for killing one million people. Many of the men who helped in the development and production of these weapons of unparalleled lethality were former Nazis who, just a little more than a decade before, were building weapons that were intended to be used on Allied soldiers during WWII. But even before Berlin had fallen, many of these scientists who were captured by advancing Allied froces had thrown away their allegiance to the Nazi ideology and professed innocence and ignorance of the multitude of war crimes that happened at the weapons testing and production facilities in Nazi Germany. Each country of the Allies was eager to deal with these devils in order to obtain the secrets of the wonder weapons of the Third Reich.
