An old article, but worth remembering when we wonder how we got here:
AT LEAST 1,000 ex-Nazis were hired by the U.S. as spies during the Cold War... and the CIA even helped them move to America. Government records indicate the CIA and FBI ignored potential war crimes when they hired these ex-Nazis in the 1950s and 1960s. Turned Nazis performed a variety of spy tasks from training for a possible invasion of USSR to laying communication cables in East Germany.
Op Paperclip imported ~10000 nazis.
