And still, to this day, we have no idea what actual intelligence was gathered by the use of these Nazi war criminals, or if it was of any use, or beneficial to this country during the Cold War. The fact that Nazis/Commies are running this country now, tells me it did diddly-squat.
The Gehlen organization was famous for overhyping the early Soviet threat so the allies would see them as critical and not as gallows worthy.
And then there was competition between us and the Brits. We didn’t want them to get someone and keep them from us.
I can’t imigaine what the average war criminals could provide that would justify them escaping the noose for wholesale murder.
The scientists etc that were allowed into the US were not war criminals so they don’t count.
