The Good German — Germany

Scene

The 2006 George Clooney film set in occupied Berlin in the weeks after Germany's surrender — an American journalist uncovers a murder case tied to the Nazi rocket programme and the Allied scramble for German scientists.

History

After Germany's defeat, American, British and Soviet intelligence agencies all scrambled to capture German scientists and technology before the other Allies. Operation Paperclip secretly brought over 1,600 Nazi scientists to the US, including Wernher von Braun. The Potsdam Conference of July 1945 — depicted in the film — divided Germany and Berlin into occupation zones.
