| In March 1945, a Polish laboratory employee discovered fragments of the Osenberg List tucked in a toilet at Bonn University; the list was later obtained by MI6, which passed it on to US intelligence. The Osenberg List was then used by US Army Major Robert B. Staver, Chief of the Jet Propulsion Section of the Research and Intelligence Branch of the US Army Ordnance Corps, to compile his list of German scientists to be captured and interrogated; Wernher von Braun, Germany's premier rocket scientist, was at the top of Major Staver's list.
