[00:00:00]Did you know America's secretly hired over 1,600 [music] Nazi scientists after World War II? It was called Operation Paperclip [music] and it's one of the darkest chapters in American history. When the war ended, the US [music] government faced a terrifying reality. The Soviets were scooping up German scientists.

[00:00:16]America needed to act fast, [music] so they made a deal with the devil. Wernher von Braun had built Hitler's V-2 rockets using slave labor. Thousands died in his factories, but America wanted his expertise. Kurt Blome had conducted horrific medical experiments [music] on prisoners, the kind that would make your stomach turn, but he knew about biological weapons. Hubertus Strughold [music] had tortured people in high-altitude experiments, freezing them, suffocating them, but he understood aerospace medicine. The government didn't just hire these monsters. They erased their crimes, forged documents, [music] created fake backgrounds, gave them new identities. These weren't just any war criminals. These were the architects of Nazi [music] horror, and America welcomed them with open arms. The space program, medical advances, military technology, all built on a foundation of blood. Sometimes the price of victory [music] is your soul.
