Rising Hegemon
A secret history of the United States government’s Nazi-hunting operation concludes that American intelligence officials created a “safe haven” in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators after World War II, and it details decades of clashes, often hidden, with other nations over war criminals here and abroad.

beck is beckoning mericans to follow the diktat of der Furher, make a big lie the truth by telling it.
ok, over and over. but der furher didn't have 24/7 cable news to spread the lie like so much horseshit onto the fertile brains of so many

funny when fascists use fascism to help them control the 'good' americans.
A lot of this has been known for some time (look for an early `90s book called Blowback--not the more recent book of the same name by Chalmers Johnson).
What irks the living shit out of me is that Nazi Germany stopped being a national security threat in 1945, and yet, according to the National Security Archive, they had to repeatedly file suit to get the documents and when they were finally released, there were huge redactions still in them.
This case more or less proves conclusively that the government uses the classification system to avoid embarrassment (and you can bet that Operation Paperclip and similar clandestine programs are huge embarrassments to the government).
Call me a dreamer, but I think this links into the origins of The Beckerhead and Rush the Talking Pig. Both have Germanic last names. And the size of their audience would match up nicely to the expected size of the spawn of the protected ones.
I second Montag's recommendation of Christopher Simpson's "Blowback."
They crawled into the sack with some of the worst specimens of the 20th century and, even if you think that's a reasonable tradeoff (I don't), still got essentially nothing of use in return.
...have Germanic last names...
Public Service Announcement
Bigotry is bigotry - especially, name-based generalizations. Lots of Germanic Jews had Germanic-sounding last names in the day. I have a Germanic-sounding last name today.
Let's keep it to the nature of the ideas, lies, hate and fear that they spawn.
End of PSA
