This is the first book to reveal how after World War II the United States government illegally permitted the entry into America of Nazis from Eastern Europe, especially from Byelorussia, a region of the Soviet Union occupied by the Germans. Unknown to Congress and the public, a secret section of the State Department began in 1948 to hire members of the puppet wartime government of Byelorussia. Some of them had brutally massacred Jews and later served with the German army defending the Reich against American troops. The State Department section recruited them for guerrilla warfare inside the Soviet bloc, but when those operations collapsed, the collaborationists were brought into the United States and allowed to settle here.... In addition, The Belarus Secret reveals how, as recently as 1978, government departments were lying to Congress about the existence of incriminating files; how intelligence agencies refused to share vital information about the Byelorussian Nazis; how the RBI recruited them to keep informed of operations at the CIA and State Department; the names of the American government officials who approved the programs; how and why the cover-up continues even now. Loftus also discloses that similar smuggling networks exist today which permit war criminals from other parts of the world to find sanctuary in America.
