Was Mengele part of Operation Paperclip?
There's no question that the US secretly harbored Nazi scientists to work on various military/medical projects, some with exceedingly dubious ethics. I've seen it often suggested however that Mengele was one of them, whereas the usual history on Mengele suggests he was hiding in south America until his death. Is there any truth, or even a bit of solid evidence, to suggest Mengele was involved in Operation Paperclip? I'm not looking for personal beliefs/blog-sphere theories, but actual documentation.

Mengele did go to south america he escaped before the americans could take him he moved to a small villiage and continued his experiments and there is proof of this

Surprisingly there is a responsibly vetted--if spectacular to the point where it is difficult to believe-- account of what Mengele was doing after the war in Annie Jacobsen's surprisingly sober and well-researched book about Area 51. I would try to explain it, but the account is so complex it will probably be better if you just listen to this interview from when Jacobsen talked to Terry Gross on Fresh Air. Long story short: if the testimony Jacobsen investigated is true, Mengele was in the USSR after World War II.
