		Operation Paperclip was the codename under which the US intelligence and military services extricated scientists from Germany, during and after the final stages of World War II.
		The project was originally called Operation Overcast, and is sometimes also known as Project Paperclip.
		An aim of the operation was capturing equipment before the Soviets came in.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Operation Alsos
		Alsos is sometimes mistakenly written ALSOS by sources including the U.S. Army, perhaps because it does not look like a usual English word and is thus falsely assumed to be an acronym.
		In fact, Alsos is Greek for "grove", and so this designation is a play on the name of Major General Leslie M. Groves, the military director of the Manhattan Engineering District (the Manhattan Project), the Allied wartime effort to develop an atomic bomb (which itself was sparked out of fears of a German weapon).
		Samuel Goudsmit was the technical/scientific leader of Alsos, and Lt. Col.

		When performing a read or write operation, data may be transferred a byte at a time by reading from or writing to the appropriate port, or a sector/track at a time through the use of DMA channel 2.
		Note also that drives 2 and 3 (floppy drives C and D) are not supported in all systems.
		The interrupt signal is reset by this command, which also determines the source of the interrupt via status register ST0.

		It should also be mentioned that perhaps only ten percent of the Farm Hall conversations were released in manuscript form.
		A persistently critical question raised by the Farm Hall operation which some war historians continue to ask is: "Where, if at all, are the large-scale Nazi nuclear projects of Abraham Esau and Albert Speer?" A favorite answer always advanced by many polemical enthusiasts is the myth of the
		We will also act on the assumption that the Reich leaders used "occult elements of speech" to intensify their notions of belief and to increase the security of their nuclear projects.

		During World War II the manpower shortages opened the laboratory doors to women and they embraced the opportunity to demonstrate that they, too, could do "creative science." Although women participated in all aspects of the Manhattan Project, their contributions are either omitted or only mentioned briefly in most histories of the project.
		Also recounts their profound influence on the postwar nuclear programs of the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union.
		This book presents a history of the design, construction, and operation of the United States' top-secret plutonium manufacturing project in Hanford, Washington during World War II.

		Initially, the compounds formed in yellowcakes were not identified; in 1970,the U.S. Bureau of Mines still referred to yellowcakes as the final precipitate formed in the milling process and considered it to be ammonium diuranate or sodium diuranate.
		There is also the possible danger of groundwater contamination with the toxic chemicals used in the separation of the uranium ore.

		At the end of the Second World War he, and other German physicists, were captured by allied troops as part of Operation Alsos which targeted the capture of Axis nuclear scientists.
		For this reason the SS ensured that funding was also given to rival nuclear projects without Speer's knowledge.
		It is also thought that Italian scientist Gian Carlo Wick approached Heisenberg in January 1944 as an emissary for the OSS as part of Operation Sunrise, to negotiate the capitulation of Nazi scientists to the Alsos mission.

		Also, lead is (mostly) transparent to neutrons, so fewer neutrons are lost in the coolant, and the coolant does not become radioactive.
		Also, during reactor operation, the reaction chamber is bombarded with high-energy neutrons - this makes the decomissioning process more expensive when the reactor reaches the end of its life cycle (40 to 60 years for many current designs).
		Also, one study focussing on Leukaemia clusters in industrial towns in England indicated a link to high-capaity electricity lines suggesting that the production or distribution of the electricity, rather than the nuclear reaction, may be a factor.

		In the many subsequent, critical ALSOS operations in which he played a part, his operational know-how and positive leadership were factors in the successful accomplishment of his volunteer or assigned missions.
		In a final ALSOS operation, SP5 Beatson led a detachment of eight men to an advance point ahead of friendly troops to intercept and stall the advancing Soviet elements.
		He was also a key figure in the planning, design, and construction of the permanent memorial honoring ASA noncommissioned officers killed in action; it is located at the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command Headquarters at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

		Operation Downfall was divided into two major operations, Operation Olympic, the invasion of the island of Kyushu to be executed in the fall of 1945, and Operation Coronet, the invasion of Honshu, scheduled for the spring of 1946.
		Also providing air support were the Fleet Air Wings based on the carriers, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Marine Aircraft Wings (MAW) which were mostly land based.
		Also included in the operation were the strategic bombers of the Twentieth Air Force, and the 20th and 21st Bomber Commands.

		Its defense was also the most difficult of all the districts, as Kyushu had the greatest length of vulnerable sea coast to defend.
		Air operations against American landings on Kyushu were to be the responsibility of the 5th Naval Air Fleet and 6th Air Army, both under the control of the Air General Army.
		The 25th Division, also rated A-1 by the Japanese and under administrative control of the 57th Army, was held in reserve in the area of Miyakonojo.

		Operation Alsos, which was headed on the scientific side by physicist Samuel Goudsmit, sent a team of researchers to Europe in June of 1944 to determine how far Germany had progressed in the building of a nuclear weapon.
		By late November 1944 it became clear to the scientists and soldiers assigned to Alsos that the German nuclear scientists were nowhere near reaching their goal of an atomic bomb.
		Alsos is an excellent book that was written shortly after the events took place, by the leading scientist in Operation Alsos.

		It also demonstrated that while the Army possessed the technical services for intelligence in the theater to satisfy combat requirements, there were no qualified personnel to evaluate scientific information at a much higher level.
		Alsos teams entered the city on 25 November 1944 in an uncertain military situation and with shells still falling.
		The Alsos team also found the clinical research of Professor Eugene Haagen, a ranking virus expert in bacteriological warfare; therefore, a "dirty bomb" with biohazardous or radioactive material mounted on a missile (V-1 or V-2) remained as an imminent threat.

	Werner Heisenberg
		For this reason the SS ensured that funding was also given to rival nuclear projects without Speer's knowledge.
		This is partly based on the fact that Heisenberg did not champion the project to Albert Speer in a way which got it much attention or funding (which Samuel Goudsmit of the Alsos project interpreted as being partially because Heisenberg himself was not fully aware of the feasibility of an atomic bomb).
		It is also thought that Italian scientist Gian Carlo Wick approached Heisenberg in January 1944 as an emissary for the OSS as part of Operation Sunrise, to negotiate the capitulation of Nazi scientists to the Alsos mission.

		This operation was originally called Operation Overcast and was put into play as so the United States could hire German war criminals, scientists and other people that were highly skilled in specific fields to come and work for them.
		This interest in mass-flow also led von Ohain to research magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for power generation, noting that the hot gases from a coal-fired plant could be used to extract power from their speed when exiting the combustion chamber, remaining hot enough to then power a conventional steam turbine.
		He also invented the idea of the "jet wing", in which air from the compressor of a jet engine is bled off to large "augmented" vents in the wings to provide lift for VTOL aircraft.

		After some weeks of custody, in which the CIC checked on his identity, Blome was taken to the Kransberg Castle (medieval castle north of Frankfurt) by an escort.
		A few days after his arrival at the castle a secret message was transmitted to the ALSOS mission, an Anglo-American team of experts, whose order was to investigate the state of German and Italian weapons technology towards end of war:
		Two months after his Nuremberg acquittal, Blome was transferred to the USA (see Operation Paperclip) and interviewed at Camp David, Maryland about biological warfare.
