A Tale of Known Known's and Unknown Unknown's

Dean Reuter, Colm Lowery and Keith Chester must at times have felt obsessed by the fate of Hans Kammler and therefore I don't think as some other reviewers do that Reuter's telling the story of their journey to find Kammler, and to subsequently set out their research by writing the book, does the finished work any harm at all - I enjoyed the personal insights,

There's was a mammoth undertaking pursuing someone who's fate was known but with a degree of certainty that was in their mind unknown, and became more so the more they dug for clues. Reuter's legal background certainly comes through in his pulling together of evidence, exploring possibilities and making a case. There is much that is known about Kammler, yet there is still more that is not, (or is hidden from view) and this book makes a very brave effort to address the unknown.

For me, a thoroughly good listen and therefore recommended if you have questions about the aftermath of the Second War and an open mind to the possibilities of what beset Kammler and others like him in a post war world where power was being redrawn, this being probably one of the most important determinants in Kammler's fate.

Wiked webs of deceit in the name of freedom

A shocking but not surprising account of the possibilities of the whereabouts of the number 3 or maybe number 1 Nazi of the WW2 era.

The evidence and obstruction from the so called freedom government, the leaders of the free world amount to complicity and acceptance of mass murder in return for technology researched and perfected using forced slave labour and death camps of Nazi Germany and the evidence the three Fourth Reich is at least a planned for possibility.

It shows also the three return of Nazi loot cannot be done because it was surreptitiously, illegally, immorally delivered to South America, specifically Argentina and Bolivia.

In fact where ever there was a despotic coup d'état especially in South America, there appeared to be a former Nazi mass murderer advising.

So desperate were the Americans to denigrate the emerging Soviet Union specifically communism, that they by their use of war criminals and their networks, covering everything that has been achieved by the USA in the blood of the murdered in WW2 Europe AND Pacific theatres.

Its a compelling read, but does throw a great shadow over every single US technological and idealogical success since 1945, which is a real shame.

Painstakingly and painfully detailed account

Oh my goodness, this is a really, really detailed account of a fascinating story. But honestly, was it necessary to string it out for quite so long? The story is really about the research that went into the writing of the book, with lots of insights (whether we wanted them or not!) of the authors travails in getting the evidence needed.

It really is tedious detail. TLDR the US helped a senior Nazi escape justice to get the benefit of his knowledge on Germany's nuclear weapons programme at the end of WW2

Potentially a great story but could have been told in a book 75% shorter. Do we really need to know about phone calls when jogging, opening boxes of files? Sigh! Groan!

Utterly compelling. Eye opening.

This is a mightily impressive work by 2 researchers and the author that collaborated with them to produce it. The topic is familiar - Nazis who escaped justice with (very probably) help from the Allies, but the magnitude of Hans Kammler's crimes and the advances that the Germans almost certainly made in rocketry and nuclear weaponry is shocking. There are so many 'what ifs' to ask here - so many alternative histories that were but a hair's breadth away from becoming reality. We may never know how close the Germans were to unleashing nuclear armageddon on the western allies, but we have a very good idea how far the Americans, in particular, were prepared to go to obtain that knowledge for their own purposes and to keep it out of the hands of the Soviet Union. Justice became but a hindrance when such an advantage was to be gained, and the millions that died at the hands of people like Kammler were swiftly forgotten as a result. Remember that next time you see our nations paying lip service to the holocaust and associated tragedies.

Exceptional story about the cover up by the USA

About how the USA helped Nazis escape war trials and still refuses to reveal any information of the cover up.

Needs to be widely heard.

No matter how evil the deed, a man without scruples who can see a profit will always make an exception.... and in the late 40s and 50s these “men” were signing deals with the devil himself.

Brilliantly researched and well told

a real eye opener as to what the Germans were developing technologically in WW2 and the widespread cover up of those responsible for genocide by the Americans if it suited them.

A bit of an eye opener

Not news that some Nazis escaped at the end of WWII but the real surprise is how complicit the Americans were in organising the escapes (aside from Paperclip), then covering it all up and finally destroying the evidence trail.
A well researched book.
