Operation Paperclip was a covert U.S. program that brought over 1,600 German scientists to the U.S. after World War II for technological advantage during the Cold War, igniting ethical debates due to their Nazi affiliations and war contributions. The operation boosted American technological advancements, notably aiding NASA's Apollo moon landing, while sparking ongoing discussions on the ethical justifiability of strategic actions in post-war geopolitics.
