The USSR also ‘paperclipped’ some Nazis for their scientific knowledge, do you know what they didn’t do, that the US did? give them lives of luxury and:
Use a Nazi High Command General as their main source for the history of the eastern front(Franz Halder & the US Army Historical Division, the origin of the ‘Clean Wehrmacht’ and ‘Soviet Human Wave attacks’ myths)
As the Cold War progressed, the military intelligence provided by the German section of the US Army Historical Division became increasingly important to the Americans.[62] Halder oversaw the German section of the research program which became known as the “Halder Group”.[63] His group produced over 2,500 major historical manuscripts from over 700 distinct German authors detailing World War II.[58] Halder used the group to reinvent war-time history using truth, half-truth, distortion and lies.[59] He set up a “control group” of trusted former Nazi officers who vetted all the manuscripts and, if necessary, required authors to change their content.
That is nonsense.
The nazis would, and did stay on the friendly US/UK nazi side unless they were captured by the Soviets.
They could’ve also deservedly shot them in the face.
But unlike the USSR most of them got rehabilitated and whitewashed.
They can use some scientists as a pragmatic choice but that doesn’t excuse why they saved 1000’s of zero value SS troops and low ranking nazi filth. Sometimes with great effort.
There is no justification for that.
It can only be explained by them being aligned and protecting them.
It was that or let them work for the USSR and there was a cold war on!

Maybe it was a bit too subtle, but I’m saying that was the justification within the Allies, not that I agree with it personally
