  Operation Paperclip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
These scientists and their families were secretly brought to the United States, without State Department review and approval; their service for Hitler's Third Reich, NSDAP and SS memberships as well as the classification of many as war criminals or security threats would have disqualified them from officially obtaining visas.
An aim of the operation was capturing equipment before the Soviets came in.

 A-shau Valley. Valley of Death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The plan of operation was to simultaneously assault into the A Shau Valley and to insert a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol to secure "Signal Hill," a 4879 foot peak 5 kilometers northeast of A Loui Airfield to be used as a vital communications relay station.
The weather, Which had been poor throughout the operation began to deteriorate and the decision was made on 7 May to begin the extraction on 10 May. A Co., 227th AHB was assigned the mission to extract two battalions from the A Shau Valley.
Thought to be no match for the bug guns, and though operating for the first time (at least initially) beyond the range of friendly artillery, the slow moving helicopters proved to be quite elusive and consequently suffered only a reasonable number of losses in light of the goals achieved.

 Overcast: Reliable Multicasting with an Overlay Network
Overcast's general structure is examined in Section 3, first by describing overlay networks in general, then providing the details of Overcast.
Overcast seeks to marry the bandwidth savings of an IP Multicast distribution tree with the reliability and simplicity of store-and-forward operation using reliable communication between nodes.
Overcast is not intended for interactive applications, therefore optimizing a path to shave small latencies at the expense of total throughput would be a mistake.

 Operation Alsos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the end, Operation Alsos concluded that the Allies had surpassed the entire German atomic bomb effort by 1942.
Compared to the Manhattan Project, one of the largest scientific endeavors of all time, the German project was considerably underfunded and understaffed, and it is questionable whether Germany would have had the resources or concentrated research attention which the Allies used to produce such a weapon.
Similar (but separate) attempts to remove German technical information and personnel after the war were Operation Paperclip (Overcast) (rocketry) and TICOM (cryptography).

Although troops were not briefed on operation OVERLORD until the last week in May, the fact that they were concentrated and ready to go and that they had just practiced the invasion maneuver with the organization actually to be used would have been sufficient information in the hands of enemy agents to jeopardize the operation.

 From Nazis to NASA, Part II
The area in which von Braun and his associates had worked was to be Russian occupied territory, the Americans had to move fast in order to secure the prize for themselves.
This Operation was not originally meant to bring von Braun to the US, its purpose was to bring one hundred operational V-2's to American researchers at White Sands, in order to bolster the rather lame army rocket project.
However, the fragility of the V-2's meant that none were actually intact when Mittlewerk was captured, the Americans found only piles of parts, and no instruction manuals for assembly.
