Operation Paperclip - the arrival of a mind virus?

Operation Paperclip

At the end of the war Russia the UK and the USA scrambled to get hold of German patents and expertise. To this end scientists and intelligence experts were spirited into the USA under the code name of Operation Paperclip. A new book is out on this subject and a link will be given to a review of this book, below.
But of course knowledge is not neutral, it is bound up with the world view and perspectives of those who hold the knowledge. Somewhat in excess of 500 scientists were introduced into the United States; and we may assume the intelligence experts went into the Alphabet Agencies. They were given new identities to hide their origins.
Many of them had been members of the SS and fully believed in the Nazi ideology. It is not unreasonable to suppose that some elements of that ideology morphed and penetrated into the institutions where they were over a period of twenty or thirty years, to exercise power and influence.
