The Mittelwerk is mentioned!
WASHINGTON — A secret history of the United States government’s Nazi-
hunting operation concludes that American intelligence officials
created a “safe haven” in the United States for Nazis and their
collaborators after World War II, and it details decades of clashes,
often hidden, with other nations over war criminals here and abroad.

The report also examines the case of Arthur L. Rudolph, a Nazi
scientist who ran the Mittelwerk munitions factory. He was brought to
the United States in 1945 for his rocket-making expertise under
Operation Paperclip, an American program that recruited scientists
who had worked in Nazi Germany. (Rudolph has been honored by NASA and
is credited as the father of the Saturn V rocket.)
