After World War II, the American forces in Germany implemented a program of de-Nazification in the parts of the country which they administered. The goal was to remove anyone who was a member of the Nazi party from any position of authority.
However, some of those Nazis were considered valuable, and the Americans wanted them all to themselves. So, they implemented a secret program to bring them to the United States.
Learn more about Operation Paperclip and how the United States recruited former German and Nazi scientists on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
