Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence
and Selective Prosecution at
Nuremberg
Controversies regarding the role of the
Office of Strategic Services
Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg
provides a balanced but critical discussion of the contribution of American
intelligence officials to the Nuremberg war crimes trials process. It discusses
the role of such officials in mobilising the unique resources of a modern
intelligence agency in order to provide a range of important trial evidence
and undertake controversial plea-bargaining negotiations. The book also
reviews recently declassified US intelligence documents to provide new details
of how senior Nazi war criminals, such as SS-General Karl Wolff, were
provided with effective immunity deals, partly as a reward for their wartime
cooperation with US intelligence officials, including Allen Dulles, former
CIA Director. This historical case study suggests that both war crimes
prosecutors and intelligence officials can engage in mutually beneficial
collaborations. The proviso, Michael Salter argues, is that both sides need to
recognise and appreciate the problems that may arise from the fact that these
institutitions are required to operate according to different, and in some cases
contradictory, agendas.
