Part 9 Hunting Nazi Fugitives

For many years the Odessa was thought to be a fictional organisation - a group who helped Nazi war criminals, especially members of the SS, escape Allied justice. But the truth was that many of the most brutal murderers lived to see the old age that they had denied their victims. At the end of the Second World War, an estimated 30,000 Nazi war criminals fled from justice, including some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi Party. Many of them have names that resonate deeply in twentieth-century history – Eichmann, Mengele, Martin Bormann, and Klaus Barbie – not just for the monstrosity of their crimes, but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence, always one step ahead of their pursuers and aided by prominent people throughout Europe, even members of Western intelligence services. Known killers were secreted down 'ratlines' through Europe, until they reached comparative safety in South America, where they could use their deadly training to support the militaristic regimes. But could it be possible that the authorities knew of their escape from justice - and even helped them evade capture?
