How Operation Paperclip Captured America

 

The Nazi diaspora and the world’s worst parents set the stage for a successful coup of the US government

Werner Thiel came to America at 11 years old from Essen, Germany at the end of WWI. For whatever reason, Werner left his loyalty in his homeland. 24 years later, in 1942, he was executed by the US Army for being a Nazi spy.

Werner left the U.S. in 1940 to be trained in Germany as a saboteur; in Summer of 1942 he came back by German submarine and was dumped off the coast of Florida. Luckily, he and his seven co-conspirators were caught before executing their plans.

I have no evidence that Werner Thiel was closely related to Peter, but Werner provides an example of exactly what Nazis always do. They lie, defraud, infiltrate and sabotage. Nazis don’t announce themselves as Nazis until it’s much too late to do anything about it.

Hitler’s Operation Pastorius was just one of numerous efforts to corrupt and weaponize German-Americans against their adopted country before and during WWII, which is why another operation, an American one, can be seen as one of the worst mistakes in American military and intelligence history.  (more...)
