" To General Loucks, moving forward on military programs considered vital to U.S. national security was more important than dredging up an individual’s Nazi past. Through the lens of history, this remains one of the most complicated issues regarding Operation Paperclip.

Others, like General Loucks, looked straight at the man and saw only the scientist, not the Nazi. "
