Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. That’s exactly was the United States aimed to do. As World War II was concluding and the Cold War emerging, the United States found itself in a frenzied state to gain information about German weapons of war and space technology before the Soviet Union was able to. How would they go about getting this crucial information? If you guessed that this snowball of information would start when allies found a very specific list of names in a toilet, you would have guessed correctly. Go, you! What lengths would the United States go to for this information it so desperately needed? Surely no Nazi scientist would be asked to work for the United States government, right? Right? After 50 minutes in this class, you will see exactly how far the United States went and why this operation is still controversial to this day. Objectives: - Students will explore the origins of Operation Paperclip - Students will discover how the operation worked - Students will discuss and debate the ethical and practical choices of having Nazi scientists working for the United States government
