Book Review: Cold War Nazi Mercenaries Who Escaped Justice
(Jerusalem Post) Dr. Colin Shindler - Danny Orbach's Fugitives: A History of Nazi Mercenaries during the Cold War tells the story of how Western intelligence services held their collective nose and welcomed former Nazis into the fight against Stalin's Communism. Thus Klaus Barbie, the Gestapo chief in Lyon, was employed by U.S. Army Counterintelligence after the war. Otto von Bolschwing, a perpetrator of the Holocaust in Romania, was employed by the CIA to develop a spy network in several countries in Eastern Europe. The writer is emeritus professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.
