Well more broadly the US had to adapt far reaching initiatives that were close to National Socialism to win the war. You had governments controlling everything through rationing, cracking down on war desent, domestic spying yada yada.
And following the war the importation of German scientists and specialists continuing working under those same initiatives bleed into and influenced those programs, that they became the same things the US fought against. The American space race was a continuination of the German rocket program, for example.
I'm wondering what some of the smart people on this forum feel about this theory
I do think it's hard to quantify. But it's a fact the space program wouldn't have been as advanced without the Paperclip Germans.
The space race is just one aspect, you mentioned the doctors who came over and helped create the mk-ultra program.
I don't know how much, if any bleeding happened, but I'm curious about it
