Yesterday's New York Times published a summary report of the U.S. Department of Justice about the prosecution of Nazi war criminals. The report confirms that U.S. intelligence cooperation with many of them after World War II.
600-page report devoted to the activities of the Office of Special Investigation in the Ministry of Justice, describes dozens of cases of such cooperation, by which the Nazis found a shelter in the U.S..
The U.S. government acknowledged in the past, many Germans were used to work as a valuable source of information and for covert operations during the Cold War.
The report, whose content the government has not revealed for four years, gives evidence that some Nazis were allowed to settle in the U.S., although the authorities knew about their criminal past.
One of them was Otto von Bolschwing, a close associate of Adolf Eichmann, the chief author of the plan of extermination of the Jews. He worked for the CIA in the U.S. and in 1981 it was decided to deport him, but it went so far as Von Bolschiwng in the same year he died.
One of the most prominent Nazis in the U.S. after the war he was a scientist Arthur L. Rudolph, who directed the wartime munitions factory Mittelwerk, employing forced laborers.
After the defeat of the Third Reich, Rudolph was brought to the U.S. in the recruitment of German scientists to the U.S. space program. It is considered the father of the Saturn V rocket, which was in the Apollo space vehicles arriving on the moon.
As an advisor, the CIA also worked after the war Tscherim Soobzokov, a former soldier of the Waffen SS. Following the disclosure of his past attempt to deport the U.S. failed because the evidence was insufficient.
In 1985, Nazi killed by bomb explosion at his home in Paterson, New Jersey by Jewish extremists.
