Project Paperclip brought fifteen hundred German scientists and their dependents to the United States in the first decade after World War II. More than the freighters full of equipment and documents recovered from caves and hastily abandoned warehouses, the "German brains" who designed and built the V-2 rocket and other "wonder weapons" for the Third Reich proved invaluable to America's emerging military-industrial complex. Whether they remained under military employment, transitioned to civilian agencies like NASA, or sought more lucrative careers with corporations flush with government contracts, German specialists recruited into the Paperclip program assumed enormously influential positions within the labyrinthine national security state."--Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Technology. 650 0 $a Brain drain $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Scientists $x History $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Scientists $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nazis $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a War criminals $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Intelligence service $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Military research $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a German Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Brain drain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837756 650 7 $a German Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941308 650 7 $a Intelligence service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975848 650 7 $a Military research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021439 650 7 $a Nazis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01035219 650 7 $a Scientists $x Recruiting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108925 650 7 $a Technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145078 650 7 $a War criminals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170469 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4943D26840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
