I watched it when it aired on The History Channel. I recently read a book titled “Hunting Evil: The Nazi War Criminals Who Escaped and the Quest to Bring Them to Justice” by Guy Walters. One of the things I learned, was just how far our government would go to protect Nazis, using many of them to gather intelligence on the Russians. But one thing I’ve never seen, is what actual intelligence did any of these Nazi spies gather, that was of any help to this country during The Cold War.

The US Intel Community had no assets in the USSR at the end of WWII. (Not surprising when you think about it, there was barely a US Intel Community! No satellites, and rudimentary SIGINT.) . The German General Gehlen (Head of East Front German Military Intel) turned his entire human asset portfolio over to the US. Were they any good, useful to US policy? I’m sure we’ll never know. However no matter how ineffective or bad they were something was better then nothing!
