During the Cold War the CIA recruited high-ranking Nazis as agents for their operations against leftists and Communists across the globe. They infiltrated the top echelons of the German government and used Nazi treasures, allegedly lost in WW2, to finance these operations. For the first time, this film unveils how ruthlessly the CIA used the war criminals of the Third Reich for its purposes.
