    Operation Paperclip was real but the CIA wasn’t founded by (German) Nazis. IIRC NATO had ex-nazis in its founding but they were like Wehrmacht or politicians not SS.

    Now the CIA did organize former SS agents in West Germany to act as terrorists/partisans should the Soviets invade in the German version of Operation Gladio.
