In this Cold War deep-dive, we uncover the chilling legacy of Operation Paperclip — the secret U.S. program that brought former Nazi engineers, including Wernher von Braun, into the heart of NASA.

This documentary explores:

The Nazi origins of America’s early rocket science

How V-2 technology and forced labor laid the groundwork for the Moon landing

The moral compromise behind scientific triumph

Was this a necessary evil in the name of progress — or a betrayal buried in the name of victory?

🧠 Topics inside: • Von Braun’s SS ties & secret security clearance • How wartime tech powered the space race • The ethical cost of America's "greatest leap"
