SUBJECT Nazi War Criminals
MIKE WALLACE: Close to 200,000 Americans lost their
lives fighting the Nazis in World War II, and yet hundreds of
those Nazis and their collaborators eventually wound up living
comfortably here in the United States, becoming U.S. citizens.
How did it happen? That is the story we shall tell in "The Nazi
Connection," a story you have never heard till now, of how highly
placed U.S. officials, despite the express orders of two
Presidents of the United 'States, invited Nazi collaborators,
killers, to these shores to trade what they knew about the Soviet
Union for sanctuary here.
JOHN LOFTUS: Several hundred Nazi collaborators from
Eastern Europe and Russia were smuggled into the United States
for intelligence purposes.
Smuggled by whom?
LOFTUS: State Department intelligence. Specifically,
the Office of Policy Coordination. It was the first covert spy
agency set up in the United States. They predated the CIA by
several months.
WALLACE: Who is this man making these charges, and what
gives him the right to say what he has just said? His name is
John Loftus, and for two years he was a prosecutor with the
Office of Special Investigations in the Department of Justice
responsible for weeding Nazis and Nazi collaborators out of the
United States. His security clearance went three levels above
top secret. But this young Irish-Catholic attorney, now in
private practice in Boston, has decided that his conscience
demands that he bring to light what he says remained for too long
.a dark and sinister top secret.
