A lot of people are aware of the significance of the Nuremberg trials, but what made you want to research and write about the manhunt to track down those war

criminals? Well, thanks so much for having me, Wolf.

The story really is about the greatest manhunt in history, and it really has been an untold story.

It starts in April, May 1945, a time of great victory for the Allied forces.

the U.S. and Red Army and the Brits had occupied or were about to occupy Germany.

But there were concerns that the hardcore remnants of Hitler, meaning the SS, the Gestapo, were still at large and were organizing a resistance movement that they called the werewolves.

And it became a matter of national priority for the U.S. to track down the leaders of the werewolves, who also happened to be the top leadership of Hitler's government and the Nazi Party.

Were all of them captured or were some war criminals, do you believe, still freed?
