Operation Paperclip?
This one is for (You), Gretchen Whitmer!
Donald L. Reisig, 54th SBM President
Stepchild: Gretchen Whitmer of East Lansing
In 1995, at the request of the American Bar Association, he served as legal liaison to the former Soviet countries [Ukraine] and Georgia to assist them in converting their legal systems as independent states.

Reisig was acquired in Operation Paperclip and traveled to the U.S. with von Braun's team, arriving December 6, 1945.
Reisig first worked at Fort Bliss before moving to Huntsville in 1951, teaching at the Redstone Arsenal Institute of Graduate Studies beginning in 1952 as a lecturer in Aerodynamics.
At some point after its founding in 1956, he was employed at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency. He began work at the Marshall Space Flight Center in 1962 as a specialist in environmental effects on rockets.
Reisig stayed at the MSFC until his retirement in 1973, after which he taught at the University of Tennessee Space Institute and Concordia College in Minnesota.

It wasn't until after the rocketeers had retired that stories resurfaced linking at least one of them to the slave labor at Mittelwerk, the underground V-2 factory. Old and ailing, Arthur Rudolph relinquished his U.S. citizenship and returned to Germany in 1984 rather than fight war crimes charges, which he denied. He died in 1996 at age 89.
Of the survivors, Reisig is most distressed by the accusations. He refuses to talk to reporters, saying he has been "back-stabbed."

Operation Paperclip, bent but still unbroken. The sudden discovery of Nazi war criminals alive and well in America under goverment-supplied covers is threatening to open an even bigger can of worms concerning the origins of the Central Intelligence Agency and Pentagon processing of Third Reich spies.
