OPERATION PAPERCLIP
While not publicly known until the early 1970's, Operation Paperclip was the U.S. Government's evacuation and integration of top Nazi scientists into the American space program and the Military Industrial Complex.
Through 1990, the operation immigrated 1,600 personnel, with the "intellectual reparations" taken by the U.S. and the U.K. (patents and industrial processes) valued at some $10 billion dollars.
