Episode 6: Rat Lines, the Vatican and Nazi escape lines
The Untitled History Podcast
Intro
Gareth introduces the episode topic, guest Waitman Beorn, and outlines the focus on post‑WWII Nazi escape networks.
In the decades following the end of World War II, thousands of Nazis from Germany, Austria and other countries fled Europe to avoid investigation for war crimes. Many of them used informal escape networks in countries such as Italy and Spain. Today, we're going to talk about these 'rat lines'.
