Nazi Manhunt
The war is over. The atrocities have been discovered. Thousands of Nazi officers attempt to flee the country, heading towards South America, believing they will find sympathy and evade justice. The allied forces, Britain, France, the United States and Russia, all agreed to prosecute any living Nazi party officials for the crimes they had committed. The London Charter for the Nuremberg Trials, held in August 1945, saw the allied countries agree on a trial and tribunal court system in which each country would have a judge present. They decided on three significant charges that the Nazi officials would face. The trial was set to put the horrors of the Nazi Regime on display for the world to see. However, three of the most wanted Nazis had already escaped. Rudolf Höss. Adolf Eichmann. Josef Mengele. Three men who committed some of the worst crimes under the regime were now being hunted.
Surviving Hitler's Mad Doctors
The Nazi Regime under Adolf Hitler imposed some of the most insane form of eugenics the world has ever seen. Between 1939 and 1945, at least 70 medical research projects, involving cruel and often lethal experimentation on human subjects, were conducted behind the walls of Nazi concentration camps. These supposed research projects were carried out by established institutions within the Third Reich and fell into three main areas; research aimed at improving the survival and rescue of German troops, testing of medical procedures and pharmaceuticals, and experiments that sought to confirm Nazi racial ideology. More than seven thousand victims of these medical experiments have been documented, but the official number remains unknown. The Nazis justified the murder by claiming the victims were ‘undesirables’, people they viewed as a drain on national resources.

Adolf Hitler signed a secret authorisation in order to protect participating physicians, medical staff, and administrators from prosecution.
