A Blind Eye to Murder by Tom Bower

This text provides an account of the allied treatment of Nazi war criminals and the failure to denazify Germany. Despite the growing avalanche of evidence after 1939 about Nazi Germany's deliberate extermination policies, the British Foreign Office refused to implement Churchill's orders to organize an effective post-war programme to hunt down and prosecute the perpetrators. That disinterest was matched by the State Department in Washington. Both governments even seemed disintereseted when their own POW's were victims. In the early 1960s, the truth was discovered, that of approximately 150,000 known mass murderers, only about 30,000 had been prosecuted - the vast majority in Eastern Europe. The three western allies were to blame. They had deliberately turned a blind eye to murder.
