Newly Released Documents Detail CIA Surveillance of Nazi War Criminals

(AP) Newly released records reveal details on how U.S. intelligence officials used and protected some Nazi Gestapo agents after World War II, tracked Holocaust administrator Adolf Eichmann and relied on a suspected war criminal from Ukraine living in New York to try to disrupt the USSR, according to a report to Congress obtained by The Associated Press.

The report, titled "Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, U.S. Intelligence, and the Cold War," was authored by historians hired by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. It was sent to Congress late Thursday.

The report draws from an unprecedented trove of records on individuals and clandestine operations that the CIA was persuaded to declassify, and from over 1 million digitized Army intelligence files that had long been inaccessible.

"The CIA records give us a much better picture of the movements of Nazi war criminals in the postwar period. The Army records are voluminous, and will be keeping people busy for many years," said Richard Breitman, of the American University in Washington, D.C., who co-authored the report with Norman J.W. Goda, of the University of Florida.

CIA spokesman George Little said Friday: "The CIA at no time had a policy or a program to protect Nazi war criminals, or to help them escape justice for their actions during the war. The agency has cooperated for decades with the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations."

There's more, a group of Ohio college students made a video last year detailing how the CIA brought in Nazis to prevent other countries from gaining their knowledge and how they affected some US industries. I will look for it.
