Operation Paperclip was the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) program used to recruit the scientists of Nazi Germany for employment by the United States in the aftermath of World War II (1939/45). It was executed by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), and in the context of the burgeoning SovietAmerican Cold War (1945/91) one purpose of Operation Paperclip was to deny German scientific knowledge and expertise to the USSR.
Although the JIOAs recruitment of German scientists began after the European Allied victory (8 May 1945), US President Harry Truman did not formally order the execution of Operation Paperclip until August 1945. Truman's order expressly excluded anyone found to have been a member of the Nazi Party, and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi militarism. Said restriction would have rendered ineligible most of the scientists the JIOA had identified for recruitment, among them rocket scientists Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, and the physician Hubertus Strughold, each earlier classified as a menace to the security of the Allied Forces.
To circumvent President Trumans anti-Nazi order, and the Allied Potsdam and Yalta agreements, the JIOA worked independently to create false employment and political biographies for the scientists. The JIOA also expunged from the public record the scientists' Nazi Party memberships and régime affiliations. Once bleached of their Nazism, the US Government granted the scientists security clearance to work in the United States. Paperclip, the projects operational name, derived from the paperclips used to attach the scientists new political personæ to their US Government Scientist JIOA personnel files.

Read "Secret History of the Jesuits" by Edmond Paris. "Jesuit Father Staempfle was the discreet author of "Mein
Kampf"."
"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now,there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organisation of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.."
"within the SS Central Security Service, an organization was created, and most of its main posts were held by Catholic priests wearing the black uniform of the SS. The Jesuit Father Himmler was one of its superior officers."
This is just the tip of the melting iceberg! According to [Link] Jesuit Edmund A. Walsh, was the "consultant" to the US Counsel during the Nuremberg Trials:
"It was Walsh who was instrumental in ensuring the heavily occult focused symbolism and activities of the Nazis were never recorded into the trials, even though every single defendant wore dozens of occult symbols on their uniforms and participated in occult related ceremonies.
Walsh also ensured that the key involvement of the Catholic Church was striken from the official record, with accounts of Catholic Priests at concentration camps, regular meetings with Cardinals, Bishops and the Nazis destroyed or suppressed and absolutely no mention of Jesuit involvement. Walsh also ensured a number of prominent Nazis were excluded from the Nuremberg Trials"
