Exactly, Soviets wanted to wipe them out, while Allies took them in. Soviets are by far the real heroes.

Did you miss the part where operation paper clip was a race against the Soviets to take the most intellectual talent? They were giving the right people passes too. The ideological war was long over and the existential war around nukes was just getting going. Everyone wanted those scientists.

Yeah except the Soviets already were AHEAD in the science department, remember ??

They were the ones that started the space-race. Oh & those "scientists" were Nazis.

The soviets developed nukes frighteningly fast. They developed very big nukes and then the ICBM if memory serves. They made some scary fucking Nukes
