If Germany wins WWI, would Mitteleuropa have had a brain drain?
Basically, I am not thinking of large-scale immigration from Mitteleuropa to Germany proper here; rather, I am thinking of Germany actively looking throughout Mitteleuropa for talented and potentially talented people and encouraging them to immigrate to Germany. Indeed, the purpose of such German moves would be to strengthen Germany as well as both the German economy (through increased innovation) and the German military (through increased technological development in the military sphere).
Anyway, does this seem realistic? Indeed, does a post-World War I primitive German version of our TL's Operation Paperclip sound plausible?
Any thoughts on this?
