PBS NOVA – Nazis and the Russian Bomb (1993)
English | Documentary | Size: 1.07 GB
After the last shots of World War II were fired and the process of rebuilding Germany and Europe began, the Western Allies and the Soviet Union each tried to obtain the services of the Third Reich’s leading scientists, especially those involved in rocketry, missile technology, and aerospace research. These efforts became known as Operation Paperclip in the United States and Operation Osoaviakhim in the Soviet Union.
When they occupied eastern Germany, the Soviet government rounded up thousands of German scientists and engineers, along with their families, then transported without consent to the Soviet Union, where they were put to work in support of domestic military projects. While the U.S. was recruiting rocket scientists, the Soviets were picking out German atomic scienctists to help in their nuclear program. This film offers a behind-the-scenes look at how these scientists turned the Soviet Union into a nuclear superpower in an astonishingly short time.
NOVA tells the story of the German scientists abducted to the Soviet Union after World War II to help build an atomic bomb. The success of the crash program in 1949, with the explosion of the first Soviet nuclear weapon, shocked the world.
