“Project Paperclips Brings German Scientists to NJ,” by Fred Carl
2023-04-16 14:00 - 17:00 | Ocean County Historical Society, 26 Hadley Ave, Toms River, NJ, 08753, United States
Location – Ocean County Historical Society, 26 Hadley Avenue, Toms River, NJ
Sunday, April 16th, 2023, at 2:00 PM, “Project Paperclips Brings German Scientists to NJ,” by Fred Carl
In the fall of 1944, the United States and its allies launched a secret mission code-named
Operation Paperclip. The aim was to find and preserve German weapons, including biological
and chemical agents, but American scientific intelligence officers quickly realized the weapons
themselves were not enough. They decided the United States needed to bring German scientists
themselves to the U.S. Thus began a mission to recruit top German doctors, physicists and
chemists — including the famous Wernher von Braun, who went on to design the
rockets that took man to the moon. See more at: https://www.npr.org/2014/02/15/275877755/the-
secret-operation-to-bring-Nazi-scientists-to-America. Few know that some of these scientific
personnel made their way right here to NJ. Join us as Fred Carl tells the tale.
Fred Carl received his B.S. in Science Education and his M.S. in Computer Science from
Monmouth University. He also has Teaching Certificates in Comprehensive Science and
Computer Science. Carl began the effort to save Camp Evans in Wall Township by transforming
it into a Science Education Center in March of 1993 when its closing under the U.S. Army’s
1993 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) was announced. Reaching out to organizations
with technology education and historic preservation programs, he built a consortium dedicated to
preserving Camp Evans as a Science Center. In 1998 the group incorporated as a not-for-profit
named the Information Age Learning Center. Fred then nominated and successfully defended an
application to create a 37-acre Camp Evans Historic District and have it added the National
Register of Historic Places. Once on the Register, a complex application to the Historic Surplus
Property Program was prepared. One approved by the National Park Service it paved the way for
the transfer of the historic district to Wall Township for the preservation of the site and the
creation of the Info Age Science History Center. Under his leadership Info Age, with the support
of Wall Township and Monmouth County, Info Age has replaced roofs, installed heating and air
conditioning to many of the buildings. In 2012, the site was declared a National Historic
Landmark.
