Operation Paperclip was the program in which over 1,500 German scientists, technicians, and engineers from Nazi Germany and other foreign countries were brought to the United States for employment in the aftermath of World War II

Paperclip, the project's operational name, derived from the paperclips used to attach the scientists' new political personae to their files.
