I don't expect you to get worked up about this or anything else. However, it seems that much of the history of WWII has passed you by, otherwise you would not have needed "more info" to understand what "killed in concentration camps" meant.
Whether the US pardoned known war criminals or not is neither here nor there. One should, however, note the fact that the use of Nazis in the cold-war backfired and actually in many instances let the Soviets carry out successful intelligence and counter-intelligence operations against the West.
I will stop this exchange here, to stop me from using language that will make me liable to expulsion from FR.

Well, did he commit war crimes or not? If so, what were they?
The article is vague. If all he did was execute SOE agents, so what? SPIES WERE SHOT BY BOTH SIDES.
And if we could ally ourselves with Stalin and turn a blind eye to his crimes, I don't see anything wrong with using a few nazi's after the war to help us fight communism.
We gave the Japanese doctors who experimented on thousands a people a pass - now that upsets me.
