Quote:

"It was conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA[; under Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which was the predecessor of CIA]), and in the context of the burgeoning Cold War, one purpose of Operation Paperclip was to deny German scientific expertise and knowledge to the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, as well as inhibiting post-war Germany from redeveloping its military research capabilities.

"Paperclip, the project's operational name, derived from the paperclips used to attach the scientists' new political personae to their 'US Government Scientist' JIOA personnel files.

(b) "In September 1945, Wernher von Braun and six fellow rocket engineers arrived in this country. * * * Von Braun and other Germans were integral to the design of the rocket that lofted America's first successful satellite into orbit in 1958 and played a key role in building the Saturn rockets that carried American astronauts to the moon. * * * Wernher von Braun and his colleague Arthur Rudolph were implicated in the horrors inflicted on slave labor at Nordhausen, the complex where V-2s were assembled. (Rudolph fled America in 1984, after details about his past surfaced.)"

(ii) The German surnames Werner (Wernher is one of many variants of Werner; another is Scandinavian Verner; Werner is also a given name) AND Warner are of the same Germanic origin: "war(in) ‘guard’ + heri, hari ‘army.’ The name was introduced into England by the Normans in the form Warnier."

(c) "Walter Schreiber, who had been involved in repellent medical experiments on concentration-camp inmates, was employed at the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, in Texas. When the press learned of Schreiber's wartime activities, an Air Force general, Otis Benson, privately blamed the resultant commotion on "an organized medical movement against him . . . by medical men of Jewish ancestry," and the Pentagon ultimately arranged for Schreiber to flee to Argentina.
