Questions about Bucky/Winter Soldier

Okay, so as we all know, Zola did experiments on Bucky when he was captured and then released by Steve Rogers when he finds him.

It then goes on further in Winter Soldier to show flashbacks of Zola doing further experimentation on Bucky.

But the thing is... shortly after falling to his "death," from the train, Zola was captured, and sort of "interrogated" by Colonel Phillips. Given his cooperation and information, he was being allowed to be sent to Switzerland?

Okay so given that, how is it he was back experimenting on Bucky again, "putting him on ice." It seems to be implied that these things took place immediately after his fall.

I feel like we are missing something here. Did this take place after he was sent to Switzerland and re-joined/restarted Hydra?

Did you miss the part where Hydra scientists were recruited into SHIELD? The thought they could trust him now but the whole time he was still working with Hydra

No I didn't miss that. But it seems very back and forth. Also, Zola seems very reluctant under Red Skull, so it seems odd he would continue Hydra

He maybe doesn’t like Red Skull’s methods, but he absolutely believes in the goals of Hydra to the letter. Zola also did not continue Hydra. It never died and he never left. It was always there and he was always a member. Not a leader or anything. Just a scientist

I think the implication is that the Zola experiments flashback aren’t necessarily chronologically right after the fall. The soviets presumably kept Bucky alive but unconscious for a bit without the metal arm. And then, when Zola was back at it working for “Shield”, they were able to do the procedure that fully turned him into the Winter Soldier.

There was not implication that it was immediately after the fall. You assumed that.

I don't remember him being sent to Switzerland. He was recruited in Operation Paperclip to work for the nascent SHIELD; *that's* how he started regrowing Hydra & got access to Bucky again.
