As World War II came to a close, US military intelligence prioritized capturing the Third Reich’s so-called “wonder weapons” and the scientists who built them. Project Paperclip arranged to transfer 1,600 German scientists and technicians to the US for long-term exploitation in America’s defense and space programs. This lecture explains the reasons why the US initiated Project Paperclip, the internal debates over the program’s efficacy, and its controversial legacy.
