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.)
