CBS 60 Minutes: "The CIA and NAZI Connection" 1982 SPECIAL REPORT:

“Honest and idealist … enjoys good food and wine … unprejudiced mind …”
That’s how a 1952 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) assessment described Nazi ideologue Emil Augsburg, an officer at the infamous Wannsee Institute, the SS think tank involved in planning the Final Solution. Augsburg’s SS unit performed “special duties,” a euphemism for exterminating Jews and other “undesirables” during the Second World War.
Although he was wanted in Poland for war crimes, Augsburg managed to ingratiate himself with the U.S. CIA, which employed him in the late 1940s as an expert on Soviet affairs. Recently released CIA records indicate that Augsburg was among a rogue’s gallery of Nazi war criminals recruited by U.S. intelligence agencies shortly after Germany surrendered to the Allies.
Pried loose by Congress, which passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act three years ago, a long-hidden trove of once-classified CIA documents confirms one of the worst-kept secrets of the cold war–the CIA’s use of an extensive Nazi spy network to wage a clandestine campaign against the Soviet Union.

The news exploded in the national headlines in May 1982. A CBS 60 Minutes television report appeared to offer conclusive evidence that the Central Intelligence Agency and other US Government agencies, including the Army, the State Department, and the FBI, had employed Nazi war criminals and brought them to the United States
after the war. These same agencies, according to the broadcast, also covered up their role in dealing with Nazi war criminals during the General Accounting Office investigation from 1977 to 1978. The 60 Minutes segment, “The Nazi Connection,” aired on national
television on 16 May 1982 and ignited a firestorm.

John Loftus devoted his brief career in the Office of Special Investigations to pursuing theories involving American intelligence and Eastern European collaborators. He joined OSI in 1979 and focused on the relationship between a particular faction of Nazi collaborators, those from Belorussia, or White Russia, and their presence in the
United States in the years after the war. In a five-page letter to OGC’s Cl C3 the CIA liaison to the Office of Special Investigations, Loftus outlined his knowledge of the Nazi “Belarus” unit and its members.
