Скачать или смотреть Book Talk: Safe Haven - The UK's lack of investigations into Nazi collaborators

The authors of the book ‘Safe Haven’(OUP, 2023) discuss the investigations into Nazi collaborators who settled in the UK and reveal the legal decision-making in the 1990s, which led to only one conviction out of 274 cases examined. Those who escaped prosecution included a platoon captain in the notorious Arajs Kommando which murdered thousands in Latvia and Belarus and a senior officer in a Lithuanian battalion who was described by a High Court judge as a war criminal.
