Allen Dulles, the OSS, and Nazi War Criminals

Discover the intricate web of post-World War II negotiations in Allen Dulles, the OSS, and Nazi War Criminals by Kerstin Von Lingen. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2013, this compelling hardback edition spans 339 pages and delves into the controversial dealings surrounding Nazi SS-General Karl Wolff. Von Lingen reveals how Wolff evaded prosecution for war crimes due to his involvement in 'Operation Sunrise', a covert operation that involved high-ranking officials from the United States, Switzerland, and Britain. This negotiation, which contravened the Casablanca agreements with the Soviet Union, facilitated the surrender of German forces in Italy. With a focus on key historical events from 1945-1946, this book is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of international politics and justice during a pivotal moment in history. Enhance your understanding of the Nuremberg Trials and the moral dilemmas faced by Allied powers in the aftermath of the war.
