‘The CIA and The Nazis’ reveal the shocking truth about the U.S. in the length to which it went in recruiting its former enemy, the Nazis, to fight its new one, The Soviet union!
While most of the Nazis were brought to justice in a military tribunal formed at Nuremberg, thousands of former Nazis, some of whom committed atrocities such as overseeing slave labor camps and sending orphans to their deaths, went to work for the United States government without the public’s knowledge either as scientists in America or as intelligence agents in Europe. Reinhard Gehlen, an intelligence officer for Hitler’s General Staff, was tapped to head the U.S. intelligence program in West Germany to spy on the Russians.
These facts came to light as late as in 1998, after a law was passed mandating declassification of documents concerning recruitment of former Nazis.
