A virtual representation of the Ghostnuts Podcast #54 which can be found at https://ghostnutspodcast.com The Second World War came to an end in 1945, and shortly after the catastrophic war, the allied intelligence agencies launched a concerted treasure hunt for German military and scientific inventions, including rocket and jet-engine technology, the plan involved the recruitment of Nazi scientists in the U.S. Intelligence Services under “operation paperclip”. The technical achievement of Germany was worth praising and it astounded the Allied scientific intelligence experts. The inventions in Nazi laboratories, workshops and factories included the Supersonic rockets, nerve gas, jet aircraft, guided missiles, stealth technology and hardened armour. The U.S. War Department’s Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) in particular scored a victory with a hidden operation that was known as Project Paperclip, headed by then U.S. President Harry Truman in September 1945. President Truman had publicly forbidden the recruitment of anyone who was a member of the Nazi party or was more than a nominal participant in its activities, thus rendering many of the scientists ineligible. To circumvent this restriction, the files of such recruits were altered by the government, and the only evidence of their Nazi past was in the form of the paperclip that had attached their original files to those being whitewashed. Most of the Nazi’s entered USA via Argentina as there was a truce between Spain, Italy, Germany and Argentina as the leader at the time, Juan Domingo Perod wanted to help the Nazis as they were being ostracized from society so he welcomed them to Argentina. Some of the Nazi scientists who were recruited: Arthur Rudolph: Director of the Mittelwerk factory at Dora-Nordhausen concentration camp, where 20,000 slave laborers died. Was described in Allied files as “100% Nazi, dangerous type, security threat, suggest internment.” As mentioned previously, his records were scrubbed clean, nothing indicating that he was ever a war criminal or a Nazi. Later became a U.S citizen and designed the rocket that was used in the Apollo Project moon landings. Ludwig Roth: Created advanced rocket designs such as the A9/A10 ICBM. Roth arrived in New York under Operation Paperclip on November 16, 1945 via the SS Argentina and served at Fort Bliss and Huntsville, Alabama. His son Axel Roth went on to work for NASA as an engineer, and ended his career as Associate Director of Marshall Space Flight Center. His son Volker worked for Boeing as Space Lab Design Manager. His grandson Karl Roth currently works for COLSA Corporation supporting International Space Station Payload Ground System Integration. Werner von Braun: We’ve discussed him previously, was the technical director of rocket research and developed the V-2 rocket. Later worked on guided missiles for the U.S. Army and served as director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centre. Also served as an associate director of NASA in the 1970s. Von Braun wasn’t just a Nazi, he was also a major in the SS. Hermann Becker-Freysing: Due to his inhumane activities, he was convicted and later sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. He was indulged in conducting experiments on Dachau inmates, including force-feeding of seawater that was chemically treated to make it “drinkable.” Even before his trial Becker-Freysing was paid by the U.S. Air Force to report on his sadistic experiments. Kurt Blome: Admitted to experimenting on concentration-camp inmates with plague bacilli. He was convicted of war crimes at Nuremberg in 1947. After two months of his acquittal, Blome was in Maryland, consulting with the U.S. military on germ warfare. The U.S. Army Chemical Corps hired him in 1951 to continue his work. Walter Schreiber: He was a Nazi major general who made funds available for doctors to experiment on concentration camp prisoners for inhumane experiments. The dog resurfaces at the AIr Force School of Medicine in Texas. After his crimes were revealed in 1952 by a journalist the U.S. government arranged passage for Walter to join his daughter in Argentina. Names of all these nazi scientists were cleared from the active involvement in Hitler’s genocidal regime. More than 750 Nazi scientists were granted US citizenship by 1955. It is also believed by many that the postwar scientific looting of Germany by the United States also included secrets concerning UFOs. Following the discovery of flying discs, particle/laser beam weaponry in German military bases, the War Department decided that NASA and the CIA must control this technology, and the Nazi engineers that had worked on this technology.
