Hoover Archives has digitized and made available several reels of film from the Boris T. Pash papers on its recently revitalized YouTube channel. The newly digitized films document Pash’s leadership of the Alsos Mission, a U.S. Army intelligence effort to discover enemy scientific developments–particularly the German nuclear program–during World War II. The films were preserved through National Film Preservation Foundation grants awarded to Hoover in 2016 and 2017.
