The Nazis' Flight from Justice: How Hitler's Followers Attempted to Vanish Without Trace
While the Nuremberg trials saw key Nazis prosecuted, it was impossible to imprison every German who had supported the Third Reich. This is the story of what happened to those who escaped justice, the institutions that protected them and the courageous people who tracked them down.
A collaboration between expert historian Richard Dargie and illustrious author Julian Flanders, this gripping account reveals many shocking cases. Hear about the hidden 'ratline' escape routes to South America, the infamous Butcher of Lyon who was smuggled to Bolivia by the US government, Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfelt who tracked down numerous Nazi war criminals and many more astounding tales.
This fascinating book studies how East and West Germany recovered from the rampant Nazism of the Second World War, and the individuals who slipped through the net.
Whatever happened to the Nazis after World War II? While the Nuremburg trials saw key party members prosecuted, it was impossible to imprison every German who had supported the Third Reich. This is the story of what happened to the Nazis who escaped justice.
These cases include:
• The Nazis who ran away to South America and the Nazi hunters who tracked them down
• 'Useful' Nazis such as Wernher von Braun who became the rocket scientists for other nations
• Those who joined the popular, nostalgia-based German Veterans Associations, who loved to keep Nazi traditions alive
• The story of Klaus Barbie, the infamous Butcher of Lyon, who became a paid informant to both the US and West German government
This fascinating history studies how East and West Germany recovered from the rampant Nazism of the Second World War, and the individuals who slipped through the net.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
