After World War II, thousands of Nazis fled to South America along so-called ratlines — often with the help of Catholic clergy. The Vatican is now opening its archives from the time. Will it be a moment of truth?
Depends on your definition of good. I like fun documentaries, even if I roll my eyes at some of the sensationalism. I just like seeing what they find, whether I can fully buy their hypothesis or not. All that disclaimer is to sort of apologize for this one, which is fun and interesting, but very, very melodramatic in its presentation. 😁
I know I’ve seen others, and side-mentions in many, but that’s the one that comes to mind most easily. I think there’s a lot online also at various sites.
“Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie” is an excellent documentary. It’s about Klaus Barbie, the “Butcher of Lyon,” who was a Gestapo captain in Vichy France and who later fled to Bolivia, where he lived until he was hunted down and put on trial in the 1980s.
What’s some good documentaries?
