Escaping Skeletons – another look at Operation Paperclip

The individual you see between LBJ & JFK is a Nazi who came to the USA as part of Operation Paperclip

My latest book, Escaping Skeletons, revolves around a part of history that has largely been forgotten and I’m sure many government officials are happy that it is. In the last frantic days of WWII, there was a race between the USA, British, and the Russians to obtain as many German scientists and technology as they could. The US part of the race was managed by Major General William J. (Wild Bill) Donovan. Donovan was head of the OSS or Office of Strategic Services…the predecessor to the CIA. “WIld BIll” was a believer in the ends justifying the means. Finding those scientists wasn’t easy in those chaotic times. Rumors abounded he used SS and Gestapo people who knew their whereabouts to find them. As a result, some of them were allowed to “slip in.”

Otto Skorzeny and Wernor von Braun are two of the more famous refuges. Skorzeny was Hitler’s “Super Spy” and was central to many high profile events such as rescuing Mussolini and behind the lines activity during the Battle of the Bulge. He ended up in Argentina and was Eva Peron’s bodyguard for a period of time. Von Braun was the central figure in the Nazi rocketry program (V-1 & V-2) who was a key individual in the US space program. Obviously, von Braun fits the scientist portion of the program. Otto did not!

Rumors that Hitler somehow faked his death and ended his life there are hard to completely dismiss, particularly when some of the evidence is looked at objectively. Forget looking for any information our government might provide. Everything and everybody has been very skillfully hidden. But consider Klaus Barbie and the like survived in South America for years.

The pictures you see were taken by Archaeologists at a site in the remote province. There’s no doubt this was a Nazi compound.

Pictured below is William J. Donovan, the architect of Operation Paperclip. Were the actions he and the US took a needed expediency to shorten the war in the Pacific? Was Paperclip a free pass for some of the most notorious Nazi? Everyone should judge for themselves. Read Escaping Skeletons and examine some possibilities.
