Part 6/9:
Even as the hunt for prominent Nazis intensified, clandestine support groups emerged within Germany and abroad to assist fugitives. The "Stiller Hila" network provided legal support and resources to fleeing Nazis, enabling many to escape detection. They facilitated movements, offered false identities, and even assisted in securing soft landings for those being pursued.
While some Nazis faced capture and eventual trials, others disappeared successfully into obscurity. For instance, individuals like Klaus Barbie and Walter Rauff evaded significant consequences for their actions during the war, living out their days often without fear of prosecution.
