Summary of Eric Lichtblau's The Nazis Next Door

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The unholy alliance between the United States and Nazis began in 1945 with the meeting between Allen Welsh Dulles, the top American spy in Switzerland, and Nazi general Karl Wolff. They spoke in German, and Dulles hoped to use Wolff’s soldiers to fight the Russians once Germany had surrendered. #2 Allen Dulles, the head of all American spy agencies in Europe, was a champion of the new mindset. With an ever-present smoking pipe in his hand and a bow tie crowning his tweed jacket, he was the personification of a type: the Ivy League intelligence agent who came of age during World War II. #3 The American spy agency, the Office of Strategic Services, blamed General Wolff personally for the wholesale slaughter of populations. He had helped set up the network of boxcars used to resettle the Jews of Poland and herd them like cattle to their deaths. #4 Dulles was impressed by the material presented to him by Wolff, and sent a secret telegram to Washington recapping the meeting. He described the Nazi general as a trustworthy figure who wanted to help lead Germany out of war and end the material and human destruction.
