Project Paperclip: Dark side of the Moon

Sixty years ago the US hired Nazi scientists to lead pioneering projects, such as the race to conquer space. These men provided the US with cutting-edge technology which still leads the way today, but at a cost.

1. Anti gravity devices? Someone tell Dick Tracy.
Sounds a tad far fetched but what do I know?
Bob Hope said something like 'the fact that we got to the moon before the Russians proved that our German scientists were better than their German scientists.'

You know, I have one simple request...and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Now evidently, my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done. Ah, can you please remind me what I pay you people for? Honestly, throw me a bone here...what do we have?

2. Interesting NAZI/NASA link. US also recruited Nazi intelligence agents
to help in the fight against the "Communist Menace". This group was the seed stock of the Office of Strategic Services, later to become the CIA.

In regards to the rocket scientists, a few years ago the NASA community had a new center named after one of the imported NAZI scientists. They did not even know that the guy they were venerating was a NAZI. The ADL and similar organizations were not naive to the fact, and when it was brought to their attention, the building was re-christened.

3. The Nazis were not defeated
they were simply transplanted.

Allen Dulles oversaw the process.
