Have you ever heard of Operation Paperclip? Originally called Operation Overcast, it was a top-secret U.S. operation that brought countless Nazi researchers, scientists, and engineers to America, where U.S. officials sought to utilize their research. Colin Heaton is an expert on Operation Paperclip and a historian and the president of CD Heaton Historical Consultants. Colin highlights some of the top Nazi minds that were brought to the U.S. during the operation, why they were coveted for their knowledge, and how they persecuted not just the Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also many Allied prisoners of war. Colin’s newest book release, The Star of Africa, details the life of German Luftwaffe Captain Hans-Joachim Marseille.

TAKEAWAYS

Each Nazi researcher or scientist had his own motivations for their work

Some German scientists wanted nothing to do with Hitler, but feared for their lives if they did not assist the Nazis

Colin’s deep interest in World War II history began during the 1970s, when he was reading a book about German fighter pilots

Operation Paperclip was a huge secret, since recruiting foreign nationals for U.S. military work would have been prohibited

Brian Slater was raised in a traditional but non-religious Jewish family in California. It wasn’t until God intervened in his life and rescued him out of the darkness of addiction that he began to embrace the true Messiah, Yeshua. Brian started helping others in the Los Angeles area who suffered from addiction issues, and as he served others, his heart for them grew. He felt called to move (aliyah) to Israel in 1996, and today, he is the CEO of Abundant Bread of Salvation, a food pantry that serves not only Holocaust survivors, but those suffering in Israel amid the volatile Middle East war. Every week, his ministry reaches approximately 400 people. Relying totally on volunteers, Abundant Bread of Salvation has been reaching “pre-believers” for more than 15 years, and seen many receive Yeshua as their personal Savior.

TAKEAWAYS

The Bible says that Jesus will bring the scattered back to Zion (Jeremiah 31:10)

The ‘Adopt-a-Holocaust’ Program provides help and services to elderly Holocaust survivors in Israel

Israel is a dangerous place right now amid the war, with many Israelis living under constant threat and poverty

70-80 percent of those whom the ministry reaches are “pre-believers” in hopes they will place their faith in the Messiah, Yeshua
