Скачать или смотреть The Paperclip That Changed Everything | History's Strangest Symbol

This object is a symbol of war. An icon of peace. A masterpiece of design so simple it's genius. In this episode of The Secret Life of Objects, we uncover the untold biography of the paperclip.
Its story is a paradox. The man known as its inventor, Norwegian Johan Vaaler, was seven years too late. The true, perfect design—the "Gem" paperclip—was already being mass-produced by an anonymous genius in Britain. This unpatented design would conquer the world's offices, only to become a forbidden symbol of unity and resistance during the Nazi occupation of Norway. Banned by the Gestapo, worn in secret, it transformed from a humble office tool into a weapon of hope.
