This is a fascinating insight into how senior Nazis eluded capture after the war by colluding with the intelligence services of their victors.
In particular it gives an explanation of how Klaus Barbie ('The Butcher of Lyons') operated before and after the war by his ability to manipulate people. I totally disagree with the last reviewers comments. He alludes to the director badgering old Nazis who obviously 'feel guilty'. These Gestapo chiefs put children on trains to their death and walk free, why shouldn't they be persecuted. I thought it was interesting to put faces to them anyway.
Personally I didn't think it was heavy handed and there was a great array of high profile interviewees from Resistance leaders to senior Nazi officers and families who suffered under Barbie.
Great documentary.
