5 In 1945, the U.S. government compromised moral ethics to prepare for an impending arms war with the USSR, by employing hundreds of German Nazi scientists in the U.S. through Operation Paperclip.

Historical Context# Narration Visual Source Link1 The United State's academic

performance was less than satisfactory. “The American education system...was doing a horrendous job teaching math and science to American children. Fewer than one in 10 young Americans earned a college degree at the time, and 60 percent of high school students dropped out. America's pipeline for future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians was barren”

2 In Germany, technological advancements and experimentation took place in Jewish prison camps such as Dora and Nordhausen.


3 “Thus the facility at Nordhausen was built; using prisoners from the Dora concentration camp nearby as slave labor. An estimated 20,000 concentration camp inmates were worked to death constructing the tunnels. It has been reported that a prominently placed sign at the entrance of Dora read: YOU COME IN THROUGH THIS GATE AND YOU LEAVE THROUGH THAT CHIMNEY”


4 There was bad ventilation, froze, dust. Many inmates died from conditions and abuse.


5 The launch of the V2 rocket and its guidance system was revolutionary in aeronautical engineering


6 The rocket was able to travel a guided projectile, several hundred miles and hit a point at where it was angled.

7 “The real technological advance was the V2s guidance system. Gyroscopes near the nose controlled vanes in the exhaust which steered the rocket towards its target”

rockets were targeted at Paris, London, Antwerp, and The Hague, killing thousands of innocent people. These were created and designed by Wernher von Braun (Beach). “The V2 could fly at a speed of 3500 miles per hour at an altitude of 55 miles and an operational range of 200 miles. The tank-destroying weapon, the bazooka, was a shoulder mounted rocket with an operational range of 300 to 650 yards. The Germans were so far ahead of the rest of the world that the basic technology of the V2 rocket was not equaled for more than a decade after the conclusion of the WWII”

2 “By the end of 1946, unbeknownst to the public...under project paperclip, former Nazi scientists are being sent to work at various US military bases”


3 The top secret operation was run by the Joint Chiefs of Staff under "paperclip" after the paperclips used in the files of the new recruits.

4 “The U.S. government, desperate to acquire the scientific know-how that had produced the terrifying and destructive V-1 and V-2 rockets for Germany during WWII, and fearful that the Russians were also utilizing captured German scientists for the same end, welcomed the men with open arms”

6 “Operation Paperclip was now officially a “denial program,” meaning that any German scientist of potential interest to the Russians needed to be denied to the Russians, at whatever cost”

7 The United States and the Soviet Union, once allies against Germany and the Nazi regime during World War II, were now in a fierce contest to acquire the best and brightest scientists who had helped arm the German forces in order to construct weapons systems to threaten each other”


(Conflict/Compromise) Action 1# Narration Visual Source Link1 The government lied to the public;

non-transparency.“Operation Paperclip- The CIA, NASA & The Third Reich” documentary

2 “In announcing the plan, a military spokesman merely indicated that some German scientists who had worked on rocket development had “volunteered” to come to the United States and work for a “very moderate salary”

3 “the U.S. War Department's Bureau of Public Relations, sensitive to a brewing public relations that read, "The Secretary of War has approved a project whereby certain German scientists are being brought to this country to ensure we take full advantage of exploiting German progress in science and technology."

4 the Joint Chiefs of Staff doctored records of the scientists.



5 They took in 1948. As first revealed in an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, JIOA officers simply changed the records of those scientists they wanted, expunging evidence of war crimes and ardent nazism.



6 Though this meant directly defying an order given by President Truman, JIOA Director Bosquet Wev excused the action by asserting that the government's concern over "picayune details" such as Nazi records would result in "the best interests of the United States [being] subjugated to the efforts expended in beating a dead Nazi horse”

8 Later, the Nuremberg Trials involving prominent Operation Paperclip scientists, news broke that the US had smuggled hundreds of Nazis into the country, and that about 1,000 more were coming. (The final count was close to 1,600.) The government attempted damage control, then message control: These men, so mild-mannered with their silver hair and American sport jackets, had never been members of the Nazi

party. The Army disseminated pictures of the men and their families engaged in wholesome outdoor activities, and any reporter requesting an interview had to submit their copy, pre-publication, to the army for approval

(Conflict/Compromise) Action 2# Narration Visual Source Link1 First of all, German Scientists had

higher education than Americanshttps://images.nasa.gov/#/

2 “Second, the foreign scientists under Paperclip could obtain security clearances more quickly than would non project scientists, including Americans.


4 Third, the projects saved the military a considerable amount of money. For example, a representative from the Navy reported that it would cost the Navy approximately $20,000 a year to send a scientist to an American university to obtain a doctorate, while it could recruit a German scientist who already had an advanced degree for only $1,200 in project expenses”

5 Lastly, Germans were hired over Americans and Holocaust survivors. “Such activities seem even more incomprehensible in light of the fact that other pools of scientific talent were virtually ignored.

8 Survivors of the Holocaust also were overlooked. One such survivor was Casimir Jobell, a Polish patriot,

graduate engineer, and inventor who was forced to work as a slave laborer for theHenschel aircraft company and then emigrated to America after the war. He died working as a dishwasher in Boston”

(Conflict/Compromise) Action 3# Narration Visual Source Link1 “The Paperclip team roared

into action and on January 31, 1958, launched Explorer I—the satellite America so sorely needed to salve its injured pride and help restore prestige in the eyes of the world”


2 “When von Braun arrived in the United States late in 1945 as part of Operation Paperclip, Washington's effort to round up former enemy technical experts, he signed a one-year contract with the army.


3 His first job was as technical director at Fort Bliss, Texas, where he was assigned to teach U.S. soldiers how to handle captured V-2 rockets at the White Sands Proving Grounds outside El Paso.

4 An U.S. Army Air Forces Aero Medical Center in Heidelberg, employing fifty-eight Nazi doctors, thirty-four of whom followed him to the U.S. Air Force School of Aviation Medicine in Texas, where he served as commandant. He was the second surgeon general of the U.S. Air Force...improvement of aircrew protection from temperature extremes and the lack of oxygen at high altitude”

5 Dr. Kurt Debus, a V-weapons flight test director and member of the SS, he turned a colleague over to the Gestapo for making anti-Nazi remarks. Under Operation Paperclip he served as part of the von Braun rocket team at Fort Bliss, Texas and became the first director of NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center, in Florida”


6 Dr Sturghold Referred to as the Father of Space Medicine, he remains one of the most controversial figures in the history of Operation Paperclip. While at NASA, Strughold played a central role in designing the pressure suit and onboard life support systems used by both the Gemini and Apollo astronauts. He also directed the specialized training of the flight surgeons and medical staff of the Apollo program in advance of the planned mission to the Moon”


7 Theodor Benzinger left the world with the Planck-Benzinger equation, fine-tuning the second law of thermodynamics, which states that nothing lasts. Benzinger’s lifelong scientific pursuit was studying entropy—the idea that chaos rules the world and, like ice melting in a warm room, order leads to disorder”

Change 1# Narration Visual Source Link1 First of all, was the creation of

NASA and government transparency.

Nazi war criminal records should not be protected by the government.

2 “After Congressional hearings during spring 1958, Congress passed the legislation and President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act into law on July 29, 1958

Change 2# Narration Visual Source Link1 It also Increased investment in NASA

2 Let it be clear that I am asking the Congress and the country to accept a firm commitment to a new course of action-a course which will last for many years and carry very heavy costs: 531 million dollars in fiscal '62--an estimated seven to nine billion dollars additional over the next five years”

Change 3# Narration Visual Source Link1 Lastly, future space development

programs and government recognitions


2 Finally, the Apollo program, while an enormous achievement, left a divided legacy for NASA and the aerospace community.

https://images.nasa.gov/

3 The perceived "golden age" of Apollo created for the agency an expectation that the direction of any major space goal from the president would always bring NASA a broad consensus of support and provide it with the resources and license to dispense them as it saw fit.

https://images.nasa.gov/

4 but moving beyond the Apollo program to embrace future opportunities has been an important goal of the agency's leadership in the recent past. Exploration of the solar system and the universe remains as enticing a goal and as important an objective for humanity as it ever has been.

5 Project Apollo was an important early step in that ongoing process of exploration.

Conclusion# Narration Visual Source Link1 Operation Paperclip employed

German Nazi scientists to work for the U.S. government under covert operations in order to prepare for an impending arms war with the USSR.


2 Operation Paperclip created to compromise government ethics in order to instill National Security created political, economic and intellectual conflicts and consequences.


4 However, it compromised government transparency as a result.


6 Wernher von Braun, Arthur Rudolph, Kurt Debus, and Hubertus Strughold led the American effort to get man to the moon.


7 “The question remains, despite a man’s contribution to a nation or a people, how do we interpret a fundamental wrong? Is the American government at fault equally for fostering myths about its Paperclip scientists—for encouraging them to whitewash their past so that their scientific acumen could be exploited for U.S. weapons-related work?”


8 “These are questions that can only be answered separately, by individuals. But as facts emerge and history is clarified, the answers become more suitably informed”
