Fugitives
A History of Nazi Mercenaries During the Cold War
Book • 2022
This book delves into the lives of Nazi war criminals, fanatics, psychopaths, cynics, and opportunists who, after the collapse of the Nazi regime, had to build new lives under confused circumstances.
Orbach explores their options: holding onto Nazi ideology, joining the Soviet cause, aligning with the Western Allies, or engaging in lucrative but morally dubious activities like arms dealing and organized crime.
The book is based on exceptional access to German and Israeli intelligence archives, revealing new insights into post-war espionage and the 'politics of the dark side'.
It focuses on figures like Reinhard Gehlen and Alois Brunner, and their roles in the Middle East conflicts and Cold War espionage.
