Bu çalışmada, bilimsel ve teknolojik istihbaratın İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında doğuşu, gelişimi ve savaşa etkileri incelenmiştir. İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda hem Mihver devletleri hem Müttefik güçler savaş alanında olduğu kadar araştırma laboratuarlarında da çarpışmıştır. Bu çerçevede, düşman ülkelerin bilimsel ve teknolojik kapasitelerinin, zayıf ve güçlü yönlerinin, yeni teknolojileri savaş alanına uyarlama, yeni saldırı ve savunma araçları geliştirme kabiliyetlerinin tespit edilmesi, savaşan tarafların ana hedeflerinden biri olmuştur. İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndaki bilimsel ve teknolojik gelişmeler, istihbarat toplama araçları ile istihbarat analizlerinin niteliğini etkileyerek bilimsel ve teknolojik istihbaratın gelişiminde önemli rol oynamıştır. Bilimsel ve teknolojik istihbaratın gelişimi ise İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın seyrini ve sonuçlarını etkilemiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yönteminden yararlanılarak bilimsel ve teknolojik istihbaratın gelişim süreci tarihsel perspektifte ele alınmış, bilimsel ve teknolojik istihbaratın savaşta nasıl bir rol oynadığı sorusunun cevaplanması amaçlanmıştır. Makalede, bilimsel ve teknolojik istihbaratın sadece İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndaki gelişmeleri değil, savaş sonrasındaki gelişmeleri de etkilediği, özellikle Soğuk Savaşın ve ABD ile Sovyetler Birliği arasındaki silah yarışının başlaması üzerinde etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Scientific and Technological Intelligence in the World War II

Öz

In this study, the origin, development, and effects of scientific and technological intelligence during the World War II are examined. In the World War II, both Axis Powers and the Allied Powers fought on the battlefield as well as in the research labs. In this context, one of the main objectives of the warring parties was to determine the scientific and technological capacities, weaknesses, and strengths of the enemy countries, their ability to adapt new technologies to the battlefield, and to develop new arms of offense and defense. Scientific and technological developments in the World War II played an important role in the development of scientific and technological intelligence by affecting the quality of intelligence gathering tools and intelligence analysis. The development of scientific and technological intelligence, on the other hand, affected the course and results of the World War II. In the study, the development process of scientific and technological intelligence was discussed in a historical perspective by using the qualitative research method, and it was aimed to answer the question of what role scientific and technological intelligence played in the war. In the article, it was concluded that scientific and technological intelligence not only affected the developments in the World War II but also the post-war developments, especially the Cold War, and triggered the starting of the armament race between the USA and the Soviet Union.
