There are probably a lot of Russians who fled to Germany after WWII only to end up in Huntsville, Al with a 9 year gap in their resume starting in 1941..., right? (sh.itjust.works)

Operation Paperclip

So the idea of apolitical nazi scientists just working on rockets is kinda not true when you look closer, but the real meat is Operation Bloodstone, where nazi officers were brought over snd given immunity to help run anticommunist programs.

I went to Paperclip because of the connection to Huntsville specifically with Redstone and NASA.

Oh, I didn't know about the Huntsville connection.
