It was conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), and in the context of the burgeoning Cold War, one purpose of Operation Paperclip was to deny German scientific expertise and knowledge to the Soviet Union [1] and the United Kingdom, [2] as well as inhibiting post-war Germany from redeveloping its military research capabilities.
