If I understand correctly, saying that Nazi scientists were experimenting with LSD is technically true, but very misleading. The "scientists" (read: professional torturers) were /former/ Nazis working for the CIA /after/ the end of the war. This source [1] states that a paper-clipped Nazi scientist brought LSD to the attention of the CIA in 1948 (though its credibility is suspect because it suggests that a CIA operative died die to LSD poisoning, a highly improbable occurrence).
