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 John J. 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.
