    Did you miss the part where operation paper clip was a race against the Soviets to take the most intellectual talent? They were giving the right people passes too. The ideological war was long over and the existential war around nukes was just getting going. Everyone wanted those scientists.

      Yeah except the Soviets already were AHEAD in the science department, remember ??

      They were the ones that started the space-race. Oh & those “scientists” were Nazis.
