About this episode
In this episode, we walk through how Nazi war criminals like Josef Mengele, Adolf Eichmann, and Klaus Barbie escaped Europe through ratlines, built new lives in places like Argentina and Bolivia, and were sometimes protected or even used by Western intelligence during the Cold War. We also dig into newly uncovered Argentine court archives and propaganda crates from 1941 to show how long governments sat on these secrets, and what that means for how we think about justice, state power, and so-called “useful monsters” today.
