The Nazis recruited to win the Cold War - Brian Crim
Dig into Operation Paperclip, a secret intelligence program which brought scientists from Nazi Germany to the US after WWII.
--
In May of 1945 the Third Reich was in chaos. Adolf Hitler was dead and German surrender was imminent. But while World War II was almost over, a new war was brewing. And the US was eager to recruit the smartest minds in Germany before the Soviets got the chance- regardless of their affiliation with the Nazis. This became known as Operation Paperclip. Brian Crim digs into the clandestine campaign.

This was also the case for Japanese scientists who were part of unit 731, a concentration camp in China that the Japanese used to commit unspeakably depraved human experiments on live civilians. The scientists were offered amnesty by the US, in exchange for their research on biological warfare and medicine, even though these experiments were wildly unscientific and had come at the expense of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.

If I remember correctly, they helped figure out frostbite and how it can be counteracted. But the way they went about it was extremely inhumane. Many of the test subjects were vulnerable people like kids and the elderly.

I've been watching TED videos for years and this is the finest made ever! The animation, colors, music, and narration are SUPERB!
This video is a masterpiece. The content, script, animation, everything is so well-done.
I can't pick what I like more about the video, the animation, the topic or the message. Excellent all round!
This one has fantastic animations that really ties everything together. The quality is also incredible.
Outstanding ethical components for this video. Nicely done, TED-Ed!
Broo this is so detailed! An exceptional video, I love how you expressed everything, and everything was perfect!
When you dangle something they want badly enough, a human will twist their most sacred principles into a pretzel in order to justify reaching out and taking it. So what else is new?
Dont forget about the japanese scientist as well who were involved in UNIT 731.
Wow! Such a feast of a video, excellent animation 👌 Ending was particularly marvelous
Wow I’m so glad y’all finally made a video about this
What an exceptional video for such a delicate topic. The TED-ED team have really out done themselves.
No wonder this one too was animated by Jet Propulsion
Fantastic animations in this one! Great job and super interesting topic 👍
Duuuude you have outdone yourselves. Kudos for the greatest video I’ve ever seen from you!
absolutely love this visual company of such an impactful video
Incredible visualization!
Pre-WW2: well, better these nazis than those communists During WW2: well, better these communists than those nazis During Cold War: well, better these nazis than those communists. (Off topic, but I love Dannatt's narration, tone, pace, accent, so bad it's very rare to hear him here nowadays).
I litterally love this video's animation style!

The art pattern within this video is quite clever. I especially like the visual of the missiles becoming part of the crown for the Statue of Liberty. The message behind it is most unfortunate and very true.😣

5:06 😂😂😂 this is almost hilarious. There is every reason to thinkso. Von Braughn was the game changer who convinced American engineers that cryogenic, liquid fuelled engines were the only way to space. Americans were still grappling with solid fuel motors up to the late 40's
