- DarkWiiPlayer 1y agoThere is a certain irony in that, considering op. paperclip two decades later.
- palsecam 1y agoIronic indeed. For ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip (I didn’t get it at first) The Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; several were confirmed to be former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS or the SA.
