The work took place in a German base named &#8220;Camp King&#8221;, near Frankfurt. In 1945, the site served as a detention center for the German scientists, but within three years, the detainees were the Soviets, while the German scientists became collaborators with the Americans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"text12\" style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: left; width: 408;\"><b>Cover of Annie Jacobsen&#8217;s book (Photo: Book cover)<\/b><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An important asset for the Americans was Dr. Walter Schreiber, the Third Reich&#8217;s former Surgeon General who was later moved to an Air Force base in the US. The services of former Deputy Surgeon General of the Third Reich Dr. Kurt Blome, who was involved in biological warfare research, were also used in the base.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text14\"><span class=\"text14\">The motive behind the establishment of &#8220;Operation Paperclip&#8221; was a suspicion raised by top security and military American leadership&#8217;s memos \u2013 that the US and the Soviet Union may enter a &#8220;total war&#8221; in 1952, a war that will include the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. For that reason, the Americans decided to use every means at their disposal, including Adolf Hitler&#8217;s top scientists and the chemical warfare they developed under the Third Reich, including sarin gas and biological weapons.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"pHeader\">LSD \u2013 Mind control weapon<\/h3>\n<p>US scientists worked alongside Hitler&#8217;s scientists in the Pennsylvania base on developing LSD, a hallucinogenic type of drug, which would become a potential weapon, employed to make enemy soldiers in the battlefield lose control without killing them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text14\"><span class=\"text14\">But the CIA soon showed an interest in using LSD outside of the battlefield, and in intelligence warfare. At the time, Americans were examining options of mind manipulation by using drugs, hypnosis and electric shock, in an attempt to match similar Soviet techniques of interrogation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right; display: block;\" align=\"right\">\n<div style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-right: 10px;\">\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"width: 300; table-layout: fixed;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"text14\"><span class=\"text14\">The Americans the realized that LSD allows for a better understanding of changes in human behavior, as well as for performing cognitive manipulation to control people&#8217;s minds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text14\"><span class=\"text14\">As a result, Operation Bluebird was launched, an operation meant to utilize drugs to brainwash Soviet spies so that they forget the content of their conversations with Americans.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/articles\/0,7340,L-4487338,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0ynetnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In aftermath of World War II, CIA recruited scientists of Nazi Germany to help develop psychedelic, mind-controlling drugs to be used in battle against Soviets.
