Topic: Reinhard Gehlen

Following World War II, Nazi networks survived through "ratlines" facilitated by the Catholic Church, which used diplomatic immunity to move personnel and funds. American industrialists who supported the Nazis during the war, including representatives from Ford and IBM, maintained business contacts that aided this survival. In post-war Germany, Nazi sympathizers were often placed in charge of reconstruction and industry at the recommendation of local clergy.

Historical links exist between German Nazis and Arab fascist movements, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood. Adolf Hitler reportedly used the Armenian genocide, carried out by the Turkish leader Ataturk, as a model for his own extermination campaigns. After the war, General Reinhard Gehlen influenced US President Truman by providing false intelligence to frame Russia as an immediate threat, further entrenching the Nazi-influenced intelligence apparatus.
