Operation Paperclip - Nazis to the Moon!

Hey it's a new year and a chance to better ourselves with some fringe knowledge!Today we look at World War 2 (WW2 for those in a hurry) and the rush to remove Nazi scientists from their natural habitat and relocate them to a better eco-system where they could thrive as a species. This is known as Operation Paperclip and it is a very real thing that happened (for real!). We look first at the political climate that set this operation up and then at the dirty details. I hope you brought your learning cap, cuz fringe education is in session... and the learning cap is a mandatory piece of the fringe uniform... and we don't have any extras. Well let's get started!In the intro we talk about the Boulder, Colorado and have a discussion about the irradiated mess that is Rocky Flats (It came up organically promise).Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.
