Henry Kissinger was born in 1923 in Germany to a Jewish family and emigrated to the US in 1938 to escape Nazi persecution.
The CIC, essentially the Army's FBI, played a key role in post-war Europe securing Nazi technology, hunting war criminals, and safeguarding military secrets.
The timing of this assignment places Kissinger right in the middle of what was in the eyes of the US Army, a treasure trove of Nazi rocket scientists and researchers.
Oberammergau was a crucial location for counterintelligence operations and the development of Operation Paperclip, the American program which secretly imported 1500 plus Nazi scientists.
They reportedly considered his discoveries more important than Nazi nuclear research itself.
All of this would lead any reasonable person to believe that Kissinger was at least peripherally involved in managing the transition of these Nazi scientists and their secrets into US custody.
Whether Kissinger knew about experimental propulsion or otherworldly technology remains speculative, but there is a distinct possibility that he could have been trusted with interrogating, translating, and negotiating these secrets with Nazi scientists as part of their passage to freedom in the United States.
All of this on top of his CIC work in Germany, managing the transition of Nazi scientists, and possibly their exotic propulsion research.
His time within the counterintelligence court during and after World War II positioned him within an intelligence network that was deeply involved in early crash retrievals, and the exploitation of Nazi scientific expertise through programs like Operation Paperclip.
