Yeah, but lets not forget the enormous amount of misinformation that was being poured out by the Nazi propaganda machine.
For example, even though it now seems trivial, Eisenhower was long criticized for not advancing Allied forces faster so that more of Germany would not fall into Soviet hands. There were rumors fabricated by the Nazis that as many as six divisions of the German Army were in the Swiss Alps ready to take the Allied forces from behind. This rumor was not true, but Eisenhower had no way of knowing that. He had to cautiously advance the forces because that rumor might be true.
That article, while credible, does leave out that the CIA was founded
after World War II, as well as other dates. It would be nice to have those dates to put things into perspective.
The CIA's predecessor organization was the OSS, and I don't recall ever reading that they were interested in preserving the SS.
The only allegations that I've ever read about preserving German industry was that there were American corporations with a financial stake in them.
