Episode 6: Rat Lines, the Vatican and Nazi escape lines
Dr. Waitman Beorn, Holocaust historian and author, explains post‑WWII escape networks used by Nazi perpetrators. He traces chaotic war‑end conditions, informal smuggling routes through Italy, Spain and the Vatican, and figures like Bishop Alois Hudal. Short, sharp conversations cover Red Cross papers, Argentina links and how anti‑communist politics shaped who slipped away.
