Get ready for Scary Mysteries Twisted Two’s#1 Operation Paperclip Considered one of the most controversial and covert efforts in United States History, Operation Paperclip was a program that involved the transportation of more than 100 Nazi rocket scientists to the United States in 1946. Aside from scientists, this also involved securing documents, hardware, technologies and weapons systems from Germany in order to bring them back to America. The plan was to not only gain more national security, but to also further solidify they’re dominance as a world power. The program began in 1945. The three great allies: United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union were nearing the end of their relationship. With the goal being at hand – the defeat of the Nazi’s - it was clear the three countries had too many differences in their political agenda for them to get along. Soon after, the falling out between former allies did occur in what we would later become known as the Cold War. #2 John CrutchleyJohn Crutchley grew up in a well-off family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. But still, things weren’t easy for him. His mother was so distraught at losing John’s older sister during a surgery that she constantly hoped her next child would be a girl. When it turned out to be a boy, she was disappointed and forced John to wear girl’s clothes up until he was 6 years old. Growing up John liked to keep to himself, preferring to tinker with electronics in their home basement instead of going outside and making friends. By the time he was a teen, he earned good money repairing radios and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in engineering administration.Support the show
