Summary
Guy Walters: Hunting for criminals
After the end of the Second World War, some of the top Nazis escaped from the ruins of the Third Reich. Among them are famous names like Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Franz Stangl and Klaus Barbie, who are known not only for the monstrous crimes they committed but also for their post-war life in the shadows, far away in Latin American countries, always one step ahead of their persecutors. The stories of their escapades are as tense as good thrillers. Uz svesrdnu pomoć katoličkih svećenika iz Rima, bježali su tajnim putovima, skrivajući se u dvorcima austrijskih Alpa da bi naposljetku bili primljeni za argentinske tajne agente. Attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic, if we only recall the revenge-seeking Holocaust survivors, incompetent politicians and daring plans to kidnap and murder fugitives.
