   Didn't you know, that 1937 was much earlier than the Eniac in 1945?

   'Operation paperclip' was actually a systematical manhunt by US forces   
   for German scientists.   
      
   Also the patens were plundered, especially those from single inventors   
   like Zuse.   
      
   The US tropps actually invaded eastern Germany prior to Soviet troops,   
   because they wanted to get hold of scientists from Ohrdruf in Thuringia.
