Analysis by
The "Editorial Board" of The Anti-New York Times
selected today's nearly 80-year-old articles to aid in clarifying the gross
misunderstanding of the "Operation Paperclip" program which some of
our brethren in the Truther community breathlessly claim to have been the
foundation for the "Nazi" political infiltration which has now
enslaved us. In reality, Paperclip was nothing more than an American program to
recruit and pick the brains of about 1,700 of Germany's top scientists and
engineers after the war. In a
comparable operation, the Soviet Union essentially abducted about 2,000 German
specialists, plus their families. These were men with advanced technical
knowledge who were used for things like building rockets -- not for
"covert" political "infiltration."
