Welcome to Operation Paperclip Conspiracies

Combine advanced technology, Nazis, and questionable morality: And these are the ingredients for a fascinating and shocking conspiracy.

Or, is it a master plan for the advances in engineering we have today? Let’s find out why there was reason to believe there was a morality compromise.
