    They teach people about Paperclip to whitewash the post-war collaboration with those goons cuz "what, it's just a few technical experts, no biggie". Meanwhile, look at the FRG's politicians, military, intelligence, corporations, NATO, EU officials....

      I've had libs argue to me that the only option was to let Nazi officers continue in command of West German armed forces, because there just was no other way to keep the army ready against those dastardly evil Soviets, and there weren't enough qualified non-Nazis to take the reins

      Yeah Operation Bloodstone is far worse than Operation Paperclip and hardly anyone knows about it.
