The Hidden Nazi-He should have been hung at the war trials, but until now they all thought he was dead. His name was General Hans Kammler. He was among the worst of the Nazis. He was responsible for the construction of Hitler's concentration camps. He personally altered the design of Auschwitz to increase crowding,insuring that epidemic diseases would compliment the work of the gas chambers. So pleased was Hitler with his work that he placed him in charge of his nuclear and rocket programs. He was pronounced dead after the war-but he was actually in American custody after the war because the US wanted Germany's rocket and nuclear secrets. This is the untold story of America's deal with the devil and the dogged determination of three men to uncover proof of Kammler's deal with American intelligence to save his own skin. 1001 Host Jon Hagadorn interviews author Dean Reuter and gets the untold story that's more shocking than fiction.
