One of the head Na> Zi scientist headed the "tick" bio-germ weapon program where these german scientist put bad bacteria/virus/parasites into ticks. They then released the bio germ weaponized ticks on US citizens and since this time the Lyme disease via ticks have spread to 49 states & around the world.

Hey Peter, I'm a U.S.History teacher in middle school and I frequently show my students clips of your videos. The Native American series was great, I showed the Deep South with Booker T. and now I'm definitely going to show clips of this one. I tell my students about Operation Paperclip when we cover the end of WWII, the Cold War and the Space Race. Your videos are really amazing! It's great that I never have to worry about censoring any of your videos due to language or anything. Keep up the great work. I suspect I'm not the only teacher who will be using your material. Thank you!

when you cover World War 2, are you going to explain to the students that it was american industrialists that actually founded the Bolshevic revolution? Did you know who owned the oil fields in the caucuses that Hitler wanted so badly? The "Rothchilds" were the ones that owned those oil fields, and probably still do. history textbooks are not telling the whole story, the Rockefellers own / control a majority of the publishing houses that print the text books that are required to be used in american classrooms for decades. we have all been lied to at school about a lot of things...but most teachers do not realize that they are not sharing actual "truth" with their students

I have lived here in Huntsville all my life! I’m 60. My dad retired from NASA My husband retired from MDA I just recently retired . I had a hair salon for 38 years. Huntsville is an Amazing place. Brilliant people. In fact Bruce Weddendorf and Jo Weddendorf were my clients. I just randomly ran into this . So cool

My dad worked at the Redstone Arsenal on the rockets up to the Saturn V. My dad spoke German. He learned German to be able to talk with the scientists. I went to school with the German scientists’ children. Our education was exceptional. My aunt helped the German families adjust to life in America. She knew Dr. Von Braun personally. She helped him open a checking and savings account at the local bank. The families were given citizenship, a job, a nice house, and money to buy what they needed. The wives and kids loved America. The men, at least some of them, missed their homeland in Germany. My aunt knew all of the astronauts. When we moved to Cupertino, I continued my exceptional education with more of the Scientists’ children. When we later moved to Southern California, I attended regular school and found it to be years behind my prior education I experienced with the children of the German scientists. I, myself, went through the beginning of astronaut training and ground school training to be a pilot. I discontinued it due to problems with motion.

This place has been frozen in time culturally just now getting decent events and semi viable recognition. MAINLY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS BECAUSE OF TRUMP DESIGNATED HUNTSVILLE AS SPACE FORCE CENTER. PLUS: HUNTSVILLE DIDNT EVEN HOST TRUMPS VISIT . NO HE WENT TO CAMPAIGN IN OF ALL PLACES- MADISON AL. SO NO. HUNTSVILLE IS A MASSIVE SEMI COOKED SCRAMBLED EGG.

I grew up about 30 minutes outside of Birmingham, Alabama. I moved to Toronto, Canada, when I was 19. The hardest part was learning that the culture is so different in the bugger cities. Getting into conversations with strangers is considered strange, or even suspicious. The first time I called a cashier ma'am, she yelled at me because she thought I was calling her old. People dont open up here like they do in the south. In Alabama, a lot of people can't afford therapy, so we talk to each other. I had to learn the hard way that opening up in the same way isn't acceptable to a lot of people here. The cities can be cold and cruel. This video makes me miss home. I wish I could move back. Thank you for making these videos and showing the world that people in the south are not what we are often portrayed to be, and thank you for easing my homesickness a little. ❤

I don't know if I am the only one, but I want another video with this guy delving deeper into his experience with the Freemasons. I am honestly surprised that part of the video didn't raise any eyebrows with people, but I guess the vast majority are being red pilled on Operation Paperclip for the first time so the Freemason part probably flew over their heads? I mean, this guy came very close to choosing a path unto which he would have climbed to the highest ranks/degrees of the Mason's, becoming a part of the highest elites of people who run the world in the shadows. I had never realized that Huntsville was the home city of Operation Paperclip; but between that, NASA, and all the defense contractors in the area, it is no wonder that the Freemason's would have such a huge presence there.

Read Annie Jacobsons book on paperclip. Von Bron and most of the “German scientists “ were straight up high level Nazis. The US government didn’t give a crap.

My home town. I grew up in Huntsville during the 1960s and 70s. My father was an aerospace engineer and worked on projects from Redstone to Apollo; leaving for work with a slide rule in his briefcase. I remember playing with friends in the neighborhood when you could hear the rumble of rocket engines being tested. We never even thought about it. It was simply part of where we lived. We rode our bikes to see the astronauts drive by after an apollo mission at least once. Most people in Huntsville were aware of the German scientists brought from Nazi Germany. Certainly Von Braun at least. You captured the "feel" of my hometown very well. Thank you Peter.

How can you love this story when you are a black American? These German captives of war, who wanted to see America perish, were brought to this country and treated better than every single black soldier who fought for America! My great grandfather lost his leg fighting for America during WW2 and still when he returned to Alabama he was treated less than a dog!

While in college, I had a summer job under Dr Schaefer in 1962. We were examining film emulsion slides that returned from the Mercury Series to determine cosmic ray effects. He was one of the German Scientists who came with Von Braun. I was 20 years old at the time and it was a wonderful experience to be in the company of such a brilliant man. He was generous, respectful and a perfect gentleman. From this article "CLASSICS IN SPACE MEDICINE" "Hermann J. Schaefer, Ph.D., was was a biophysicist who was brought to the U.S. from Germany under Operation Paperclip in 1948. He worked at the U.S. Naval School of Aviation Medicine in Pensacola, FL. His research areas included bio- physics, bioradiology, and bioastronautics and he quickly became a leading authority on radiation effects in space."

Fascinating episode. Your Host and his Mother have generously shared their personal history and journey to America. I’m familiar with Operation Paperclip, but this personal account, and tour of area, priceless family artifacts just incredible. I Thank them both and Pete for presenting material.

I worked with german techs in the 1980"s to the 1990"s. At a printing plant in Orlando Florida. They were from the Windmoller and Holscher Co out of Munster Germany. I learned a lot from them. Very organized, very smart people. Most had a great sense of humor. The company had a very old past from back before WW2. I have a great respect for their way of working, and problem solving. I am retired now, but miss them. Workaholics, every one of them.

This was the best interview so far! Great work by everyone!!

Oh my heart! I can't believe you did a video on Huntsville! I was born and raised there in 1985 and my grandfather was an Auburn alumni and aerospace engineer for McDonnell Douglas, which had a merger with Boeing in the late 90's, who he worked for from that time until his retirement in the early 2000's. He was one of several engineers contracted by NASA from various defense contractors in Huntsville like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, etc to do extensive work on the U.S. space station. He was one of the lead architects and minds behind the space hab project which is the astronaut's living quarters in the space station and the shuttles. My grandfather has passed away many years ago and he was my best friend growing up; he was so proud of the work he did and spoke of it often. He even has photos of every astronaut team that has launched since the 1980's that he attended launches for, including the Challenger team; he has met every astronaut that has ever gone into space during his time as an aerospace engineer. His name was Tarleton Elliott. He moved to Huntsville with his new family in 1961 from Jasper, AL after he graduated from Auburn in the 1950's and our family has lived in and around Huntsville ever since. He was a pastor, an engineer, and an amazing man and I just wanted to share his story as he had with me throughout my whole life. Oh the stories I could tell you about engineers in Huntsville! This video is a perfect depiction of Huntsville. I knew every road you went down and everything. Operation Paperclip is well-known by most Huntsville natives except the younger generations. Dr. Wernher von Braun is infamous to everyone in Huntsville for his contributions to the city and space exploration; he's a household name. It was so amazing to hear his and his mom's stories because you don't meet people like that often if you're not already in their social circles. I'm just sad you never tried any of the local food! The night life, restaurants, shopping, and everything in Huntsville is so awesome. It's a city that has so much to offer but still is firmly rooted in country life. This really made my day.

Watching from Germany. Very interesting Video, Peter. Thank you very much. Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland nach Huntsville, Alabama.

Excellent topic in this presentation. Really interesting to hear from people with attachments to the past that few of us know about. Good questions asked throughout and very diplomatic responses given. Very believable and informative. Thank you Peter

Thank you for this very interesting documentary on Huntsville, Alabama. My father was one of the original 300 engineers who wirked on the v5 rocket engine under the direction of Werner Maximilian friehaus baron von Braun, as a subcontractor. We moved to Huntsville in 1963, when i was 3 months old, living there until 1970. The section on the cotton mills abd how long they were still in operation and the time frame of such in my recollection was still going on into the mid 1960s as i recall a visit to the emergency room around1968 for a finger injury and a colored man being rushed in whise leg had gotten caught in the cotton gin....remains very vivid in my memory. I hope he was able to keep his leg. We lived on Atlantic street and up the road about 1/2 mile were still Cotton fields. I remember trips to montasanto mountains for weekend hikes and weekly trips to the huge downtown library, as well as going to the Tennessee border to collect watercress, many days at the holiday pool, and later employee family days at the space and rocket center. I attended the dudley-whales guitar and piano school in my preschool kinder years and one of my teachers whom i had a piano duet with was then pregnant with her son, Jonathan whales, the inventor of wikipedia! I know Huntsville has grown and changed immensely since that time, but treasure my childhood memories and my wonderful mother and father and our many adventures! ❤️

WOW!!! I am familiar with Operation Paperclip, but the information revealed by this family's lived experience is utterly fascinating and mind-blowing - and that was one heck of bombshell ending!!! Great job, Peter, your work is incredible; you reach millions of people who are being enlightened and educated by your blessedly fantastic gift of finding the absolute best people with their riveting stories!!!

I moved from the valley in Los Angeles, and Alabama was the last place I wanted to live. My husband got a promotion from Boeing, so I visited and was amazed at the beauty and the people. Never regretted it. People don’t realize that the Rocket City is Huntsville, AL. second to Palo Alto in research and aerospace in the nation. They are the smartest people you’ll find. Thanks for highlighting my new home.

Wonderful video. My late father was an engineer at NASA. He started there in the late 1950s, and retired from there 45 years later. We have an old picture of him shaking hands with Werner Von Braun at a workplace ceremony. 🤔 I may have gone to grade school with Theo, in this video. Sounds like we had attended the same schools. As for the valid question of why our gvmt. brought German Nazis to NASA. My dad would always tell me, "If America didn't hire them, Russia would have." 👍 Thank you Pete for sharing our town, our history, and our growth, with your viewers. Sweet Home Alabama. 🌺🌻💕💕

Operation Paperclip is pretty common knowledge in the US. It's not hidden really at all. I mean, it's pretty hard to hide Von Brauns' German accent when he is on TV all the time. Maybe not the full scale of the operation, but the basics. I discussed in my history classes in school.

Fantastic episode. Thank you for doing these videos

this channel is absolutely fantastic. I'm binge watching. Thank you sir

This can serve as a PSA to people who still have living grandparents that were children during WW2. Hearing Gisela’s story made me appreciate the time I spent with my grandmother who’s family immigrated over from Italy during that time. Its wonderful hearing anecdotal stories and memories from her childhood, you can see then joy in Gisela’s face when she talks about things. These are stories that would forever go untold if not asked about by younger, curious generations. If you have living grandparents today who were children in the 1940’s, ask them about their lives then, what they remember, what their parents did etc. you dont want to lose that history forever

Discovered you recently through your videos about the Amish. Have been slurping up your excellent videos on several subjects since then, sending links to friends. Today I sent this one to my brother-in-law, a nuclear physicist at Los Alamos in the '50's. I echo some of the previous comments. Your videos are like fresh bread from the oven, irresistible & deeply thought-provoking (you--not the bread!). Thank you so much for following the vocation you were born to fulfill & sharing it with the world.

My father moved the family to Huntsville 1962 working for IBM subcontracting to NASA. It was a tiny sleepy cotton field town prior to the space race. Whenever the rockets were tested on Redstone Arsenal, we could feel/hear the house & windows rattle. The skunks in the surrounding woods would spray in response to the rockets...to the point you could smell them a mile away. And it wasnt unusual to hear German/European accents in stores & your school mates had German last names. I didnt realize how much influence the Germans had in shaping Huntsville until I moved away to other cities. Truly not many people know this interesting story of Huntsville and its role in the space race. Thank you for sharing.

Being from German decent and living near Fairhope Alabama I love this video and the one before. I got emotional watching the older mother speaking of her family and comming to America. Truly love your videos Peter keep up the good work. Alabama looks better in your videos than the Mississippi one did
