Summary
Whatever happened to the Nazis after World War II? While the Nuremberg trials saw key party members prosecuted, it was impossible to imprison every German who had supported the Third Reich. This is the story of what happened to the Nazis who escaped justice.
These cases include:
The Nazis who ran away to South America and the Nazi hunters who tracked them down
'Useful' Nazis such as Wernher von Braun who became the rocket scientists for other nations
Those who joined the popular, nostalgia-based German Veterans Associations, who loved to keep Nazi traditions alive
The story of Klaus Barbie, the infamous Butcher of Lyon, who became a paid informant to both the US and West German government
This fascinating history studies how East and West Germany recovered from the rampant Nazism of the Second World War, and the individuals who slipped through the net.
