000466797 520__ $$aSteinacher not only reveals how Nazi war criminals escaped from justice at the end of the Second World War, fleeing through the Tyrolean Alps to Italian seaports, but he also highlights the key roles played by the Red Cross, the Vatican, and the Secret Services of the major powers.--From publisher description.
000466797 520__ $$a"How did thousands of Nazis, war criminals, and collaborators manage to flee Europe at the end of the Second World War, evading arrest and prosecution? Nazis on the Run skillfully uncovers the full extent of the secret escape routes and hiding places--"ratlines"--used to smuggle former Nazis out of Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War. The story follows the fugitives through South Tyrol, across the Alps into Italy, and onward to Argentina and elsewhere. Gerald Steinacher's research raises a host of uncomfortable questions. To what extent did the International Committee of the Red Cross enable criminals like Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele to escape? How did South Tyrol become such a haven for war criminals? Why did some in Vatican relief agencies actively support the remnants of the Nazi party? And why did Allied Intelligence agencies choose to recruit ex-Nazis as anti-Soviet spies rather that turn them in for prosecution? A complex and intriguing story, Nazis on the Run demonstrates clearly just how difficult the capture of war criminals can be--and lays bare a dark episode in the chaos of post-War Europe."--book jacket.
