Rockets, jet engines, and advanced aeronautics were just a few of the innovations that had been developed in the Nazi war machine. But as the war came to an end, the Allies were determined to get their hands on these cutting-edge innovations. They wanted to make sure that these technologies, and the knowledge behind them, would not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union. That's when the United States government launched a secret operation to recruit the scientists and engineers behind these technologies and bring them to the United States. This operation was called Operation Paperclip. #worldwar2 #ww2 #operationpaperclip #postwar #vonbraun #wernhervonbraun #v2 #v2rocket #london #apollo #space #spacerace #stalin #soviet #sovietunion #coldwar
