- Dig into Operation Paperclip, a secret intelligence program which brought scientists from Nazi Germany to the US after WWII.
--
In May of 1945 the Third Reich was in chaos. Adolf Hitler was dead and German surrender was imminent. But while World War II was almost over, a new war was brewing. And the US was eager to recruit the smartest minds in Germany before the Soviets got the chance- regardless of their affiliation with the Nazis. This became known as Operation Paperclip. Brian Crim digs into the clandestine campaign.

What the heck this video is exceptional. Script, animation, story board. You guys really out did yourselves with this one.
Still can't pronounce a German name.
❤only reason for having a comment today, great animation 😊
Agreed!
Right? Dang. Mad props to the animation team.
Its an extremely important and sensitive topic that deserves this level of effort. The world is going through another wave of fasicm, lessons learnt from WW2 should be as public as possible.
"If the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department" says Wernher von Braun.
Tom Leher
His rockets aimed for the stars yet instead they kept falling on London
Alt Reality:
Mohammed Atta: me and my homies Ziad and Marwan want to fly some V1s
Wernher: V1s? You got it! 😈
Who's political allegiance is one of expedience.
Masterful wordplay
oppenheimer on opposite day
THE ANIMATION tho.
The animation is so smooth
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiii ummm they have their own animators???
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiii So apparently every smooth animation is AI... ok.
Just saw your other replies, if you are just here to be negative, then don't comment! 🤡🤡‼️💏👬
@@eggyolk0 U MAD ⁉️🤣
Rotoscope
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiii Never said I was? If you have no argument to back up your claim, then just say so.
This was also the case for Japanese scientists who were part of unit 731, a concentration camp in China that the Japanese used to commit unspeakably depraved human experiments on live civilians. The scientists were offered amnesty by the US, in exchange for their research on biological warfare and medicine, even though these experiments were wildly unscientific and had come at the expense of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.
Yeah, they even gave them the new jobs in America...
Yeah, Japan and Germany did a lot of oddIy unscientific 'research'. Josef Mengel and his obsesssion with Romani twins come to mind. Unfortunately, these vctims are often lgnored by mainstream media.
@@bdleo300how did u know ?
If I remember correctly, they helped figure out frostbite and how it can be counteracted. But the way they went about it was extremely inhumane. Many of the test subjects were vulnerable people like kids and the elderly.
This was exactly what I was thinking of too while watching the video!
This is one of the finest works of TED-Ed! The animation at the end along with narration is hypnotic istg
3:49 You out did yourself again Ted Ed
Nah uhh
Goes hard

There's almost no difference
It's messed up. Their families got a second chance at life, while the families they helped destroy did not.
It's an unfortunate trend in human history, I think. The politics of surviving a perceived existential war trumps morality
Demand and supply. If you have a skill, or something to offer to others you'll always have an advantage.
@@yanied9646 It wasn't merely perceived, unfortunately. The world was on the brink of ww3 and could have gone to it if not for nuclear bombs
@igorlopes7589 it's a strange thing, though, thinking on it when you say it that way. The world apparently was so dangerous they needed utter doomsday to be the only thing that "keeps them behaved"
@@yanied9646life is strange, the world is weird
"History is a set of lies we have agreed upon." -Napoleon Bonaparte
Exactly ‼️
Animation was like smooth butter. Love it❤. Well done team ted ed.
Oh you must have not heard about AI
Thanks ai
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiii Why do you think it is AI?
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiiinah this is too good to be ai. But it does look rotoscoped at some parts
Heck of a video!!! The animations are insane! It perfectly captures the strategic maneuvering of the whole "recruiting talent" situation, like a real-life chess game, just capturing pieces.
This is going to be used in schools, I can feel it
No they can’t, the government doesn’t like it when it’s criticized. And the schools are funded, by the said government.
We actually talked about this in history class a few times.@@reallymentalpig1173
I saw this exact video in class today actually. When we were talking about the cold war.
Yo why was this vid soo good! Props to the people at TED-ed this was actually the best i've seen form yall yet!
this is the best ted ed animation style i've seen. please do more.
Yet another masterpiece by Jet Propulsion, loved their animation in the corruption video and yet here we are looking at YET another masterpiece!
That's all thanks to AI
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiii lmao I really don't think so as I doubt that the smoothness as seen in this video can be generated by AI, besides JetPropulsion has animated quite a lot of videos for Ted Ed much more before AI started taking over so pretty sure it's a manually animated work
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiii Probably not, i don't see any flaw that the "ai" Makes, specially the hands
When you dangle something they want badly enough, a human will twist their most sacred principles into a pretzel in order to justify reaching out and taking it.
So what else is new?
They weren't just brought into NASA, but NATO and UN leadership as well
And german leadership. And don't forget the soviet union
Source!? I made it up.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Speidel
To be fair, I don’t think that the men were war criminals.
@@michaelterrell5061 1:40 literally said that suspected war crimes were to be diregarded what implies that they were war criminals
This video is a masterpiece. The content, script, animation, everything is so well-done.
I've been watching TED videos for years and this is the finest made ever! The animation, colors, music, and narration are SUPERB!
No wonder this one too was animated by Jet Propulsion
I can't pick what I like more about the video, the animation, the topic or the message. Excellent all round!
This one has fantastic animations that really ties everything together. The quality is also incredible.
Outstanding ethical components for this video. Nicely done, TED-Ed!
Dont forget about the japanese scientist as well who were involved in UNIT 731.
Broo this is so detailed! An exceptional video, I love how you expressed everything, and everything was perfect!
Wow! Such a feast of a video, excellent animation 👌
Ending was particularly marvelous
Wow I’m so glad y’all finally made a video about this
What an exceptional video for such a delicate topic. The TED-ED team have really out done themselves.
Fantastic animations in this one! Great job and super interesting topic 👍
Duuuude you have outdone yourselves. Kudos for the greatest video I’ve ever seen from you!
absolutely love this visual company of such an impactful video
Incredible visualization!
I litterally love this video's animation style!
You always get the right style for the every subject TED and please make more History vs.
Another incredible lesson with captivating visuals!
Exceptionally handled, animated, and delivered. I am curious to learn more about this Wernher von Braun. This is going in my *Favorites* outstanding animation.
The animation is state of the art! Well job to the team who has worked on it!
This video is a masterpiece! Well done!
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO OF TED ED WOW....
One of your best videos!
smooth like crazy
Absolutely beautiful animation. Every episode is so interesting.
Ted-ed's ever-improving animation! Great!👍👍
How can you make an animation so captivating??!!🙃🙃You've outdone your own feat❤❤just keep enlightening us this way❤❤❤
The animation in this one is amazing
I've learned and I enjoyed it. amazing Ted Ed.
Interesting assessment of a nuanced situation
_An_ assessment of a nuanced situation.
The animation was so sick it's one of the best I've seen so far! A truly remarkable creation by Ted Ed! It really suits the story
Wow, This video is on a class on it's own. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST Ted-Ed.
Usually, comments are filled with discussions related to the film. The comments are nothing but praise for the good storyline and extremely good animations! Now that's how you know this is a very well-done video!
I love this the animation and everything is just perfect❤
I'm going to ask my history teacher if we could watch this video, or even part of it in class sometime. We're learning about WW2 currently, so I feel it fitting for us to view this
Read Howard Zinn's Peoples' History of the US (or at least watch a documentary about it).
Loved the American bald eagle using the union shield to protect the “key” against the sickle and hammer 😭💙
Spectacular animations, best one yet
One of your best videos
Crim's work highlights the importance of confronting uncomfortable truths from our past to inform our understanding of the present.
“And when history did not cooperate, history was changed” -Dr. Zola, Captain America Winter Soldier
dude literally what i was thinking about while watching. that movie is a lot less fun to watch when you realize the government literally did that
people forget, operation paperclip was a real thing
This should be not be a surprise to anyone outside of highschool.
If you are out of highschool and leaned this, history has more surprises my friend.
If your a student learning this, your already ahead of the game
Pre-WW2: well, better these nazis than those communists
During WW2: well, better these communists than those nazis
During Cold War: well, better these nazis than those communists.
(Off topic, but I love Dannatt's narration, tone, pace, accent, so bad it's very rare to hear him here nowadays).
Nice work with the Animation!
The art pattern within this video is quite clever. I especially like the visual of the missiles becoming part of the crown for the Statue of Liberty. The message behind it is most unfortunate and very true.😣
Kudos to all involved in the making of this lesson. Really an AMAZING piece, although the subject itself is very disturbing, to say the least.
so artistic animation! also so informative!
Nobody’s talking about how chilling the transition is at 3:40
Moral: The only crime of war is losing it.
Such amazing animation!
11/10 animation and informing of history
Amazing!! The story is so interesting and the animation is woow
5:06 😂😂😂 this is almost hilarious. There is every reason to thinkso. Von Braughn was the game changer who convinced American engineers that cryogenic, liquid fuelled engines were the only way to space. Americans were still grappling with solid fuel motors up to the late 40's
There wasn't any chance of Americans leap jumping from solid motors to liquid ones miraculously within a decade! 😀 Nice animation by the way!
Amazing video as always!
The animation is off the charts!
what brilliant animation and 0:09 wow
Loving the animation yoooo!!
The Animation looks so cool
BRO THE ANIMATION IS THE REAL CREATION!!!
Finally, I was wondering when they would do Operation Paperclip.
This episode is delectable
The animation is so slick and stylish. You guys should impressed with yourself.
Great video by TED-Ed with EXCEPTIONAL animation.
That's thanks to AI
@@iiiKingLongSwipeiiimmm i dont see it
I love these videos
Yo this animation is beautiful 😍
amazing animation
Excellent animation.
Amazing video ❤🎉
The animation is so cool.
Yes
Von Braun is a good redemption story ;)
I LOVE TED ED!!!!
i recommend the book “Operation Paperclip” about these scientists
what are these visuals? truly out of the world. makes me want to learn animation
Wonderful animation
Man teded is such a gem.
This video is a piece of art, just wow
Awesome animation
Best animation in Ted Ed since 2022.
Wonderful video!
Next: Unit 731
Next: Operation Osoaviakhim.
❤
Love this narrator
As the saying goes,
"This is no such thing as an American Space Program, this are only the Soviets and the Nazis"
The flows of the animation into the other was excellent 🦵🫦
