Directly after the close of WWII in Germany, we had special teams in Germany looking for certain German scientists, and a lot of the borders were because of certain scientific facilities and the American desire to have them come under our control.

Nazi Germany, for all of their obvious and horrible faults, had some wild ideas. They were working on building planes that could take off from Europe, bomb NYC, and then return - all in one flight. Sounds like nothing special now, but very cutting edge in 1945.
