In March 1951, Blome was sought out by Charles McPherson, an officer in the U.S. Special Projects Team, to offer him a contract in Operation Paperclip. Blome indicated in the recruitment interview that he had already worked in a top-secret biological weapons program under Operation Matchbox, the British equivalent of Operation Paperclip, and expressed interest.[21] Blome subsequently committed himself on August 10, 1951, to work on an American intelligence program for the Army Chemical Corps in Project 63[22]. However, this did not materialize,[23] as the American consul in Frankfurt am Main refused Blome's entry into the U.S.[2] The U.S. consul had been waiting for Blome to leave the country.
Blome had already turned over his practice in Dortmund to another doctor in anticipation of his emigration, and the U.S. Special Projects Team feared that word of Blome's negative experiences would spread among German scientists and make further recruitment for Project Paperclip difficult. He was therefore assigned, as compensation, a position (Contract DoD DA-91-501) beginning in December 1951 to succeed Walter Paul Schreiber as a U.S. intelligence physician in an American military hospital at the European Intelligence Center (Camp King), the American European Command in Oberursel. He worked there on a project that is referred to in his 'foreign scientist case file' as "Army 1952, Project 1975"." (translated using deepl.com) from the German Wikipedia entry.
