NOTE FROM THE HISTORICAL RECORD
In the last months of World War II, as Germany fell, a new war began among the Allies: to plunder the
technology of Nazi scientists. A race between the Brits, Americans, French, and Russians was every
country for itself. Patents were stolen: for new vacuum tubes, for exotic chemicals and plastics, even for
pasteurizing milk with UV light. But many of the most sensitive patents disappeared into the well of deep
black projects, like Operation Paper Clip, where hundreds of Nazi V-2 rocket scientists were recruited
in secret and brought into the United States.
But the Germans did not give up their technology easily. They also fought to secure their secrets in the
hopes of a rebirth of the Reich. Scientists were murdered, research labs destroyed, and blueprints hidden
in caves, sunk to the bottom of lakes, and buried in crypts. All to keep them from the Allies.
