Inside Operation Paperclip and Matchbox

from Creeps & Coffee Hosted by Creeps and Coffee

After World War II, the United States and its allies launched covert operations to recruit German scientists, engineers, and intelligence personnel—including people in the Nazi regime. In this episode of Creeps and Coffee, we dive into Operation Paperclip and Operation Matchbox, exploring the scientists brought to the West, the secrets and crimes they carried with them, and the moral questions surrounding what governments were willing to overlook in the race for power and technology.
