The official story remains that World War II was fought to stop a genocidal Nazi regime, and that after 1945 the United States reluctantly recruited a handful of Nazi scientists and spies through Operation Paperclip and related programs—solely because their expertise was needed to stay ahead of the Soviet Union as well as to “prevent another Holocaust.”
That story is a deliberate fabrication.
The Soviet Union was real and dangerous, but it was consciously elevated into the ultimate bogeyman in order to launder and fund the systematic importation of the Third Reich’s most compromising personnel.
The centerpiece of this operation was Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s former chief of intelligence on the Eastern Front. In 1945–46, rather than being tried at Nuremberg, Gehlen and virtually his entire network of SS and Abwehr officers were flown to Fort Hunt, Virginia, given new identities, and installed as the core of what became the CIA’s anti-Soviet division. The Gehlen Org (later folded into the BND) was not a reformed group of repentant experts—it was the direct continuation of Nazi intelligence, now on the American payroll and answering to Allen Dulles.
The same German industrialists (Krupp, IG Farben executives, etc.), eugenicists, and concentration-camp doctors who had bankrolled and executed the “racial hygiene” programs were simultaneously shielded from prosecution, brought to the United States, or kept in place in Europe.
What began as the industrialized torture and experimentation on Jews, Romani people, the disabled, and other “undesirables” was not dismantled—it was transferred, rebranded as “national security” research, and expanded.
Stephen Kinzer’s Poisoner in Chief shows how figures directly linked to this Nazi pipeline (or their immediate protégés) went on to oversee MKULTRA and the CIA’s decades-long behavioral-control experiments on American citizens.
The Red Scare was never just about communism. It was the justifying myth that allowed the U.S. to inherit, fund, and protect the Third Reich’s most poisonous human assets.
That is why thousands of credible reports of non-consensual experimentation and organized persecution inside the United States were ignored or buried by the FBI and other agencies for decades: the perpetrators here were the same networks that had run the camps there.
The real postwar plan was never to prevent a new Nazi order. It was to complete it under new flags—by engineering controlled chaos, financing both sides of every manufactured conflict, and waiting for a terrified public to demand a new system of centralized “order.”
That system is what insiders have openly called the New World Order: the global, technocratic successor to the Third Reich, built by many of the same people who built the original.
The camps were liberated in 1945.
The architects simply changed their address—and their cover story.
