Protection of Klaus Barbie

In 1947, Klaus Barbie was recruited as an agent for the 66th Detachment of the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC).[1] When the French discovered that Barbie was in U.S. hands, having sentenced him to death in absentia for war crimes, they requested McCloy, U.S. High Commissioner for Germany, to hand him over for execution, but McCloy refused.[2] Instead, the CIC helped him flee to Bolivia with the help of a "ratline" organized by U.S. intelligence services[3] and the Croatian Roman Catholic priest Krunoslav Draganović.
