Welcome to Stuff You Should Know from HowStuffWorks.com.

Josh Clark

Hi, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. I'm a staff writer here at HowStuffWorks.com. With me, as always, is my very attractive and trusty editor, Chris Pollette. Chris, how's your goatee?

Chris Pollette

Oh, it's great. Thanks for asking.

Josh Clark

Fantastic. So we wrote this article about whether or not Nazi war criminals are still at large. And the Simon Wiesenthal Center, this group that's dedicated to finding, rooting out the last of the Nazi war criminals who may or may not be still alive, has launched Operation Last Chance in a last-ditch effort. But while I was researching this, Chris, I found a lot of stuff that just I couldn't fit into the article. One of the things that stuck out to me the most was the Mossad. Do you know what the Mossad is?

Chris Pollette

That's the Israeli Secret Service.

Josh Clark

Right, it is. Now, they have been chasing Nazis for decades and have been fairly successful at it. They found Klaus Barbie. They also found Adolf Eichmann, who was pretty much the engineer of the Nazis' final solution of exterminating all these supposedly unwanted races.

But I also found something very interesting. The Mossad actually engaged in employing and hiding some wanted Nazi war criminals, which I found startling, you know, this group that's dedicated to rooting out for conviction - or at the very least for trial - Nazi war criminals having employed one.

The guy they employed was this doctor who actually came up with the idea of mobile gas vans, right, so that the Nazis wouldn't have to shoot the Jews any longer to kill them. They could just load them up in these vans, and carbon monoxide was put into the vans, and whoever was inside was killed. And the worst part was these vans, they looked like Red Cross ambulances, which is just about as bad as it gets, don't you think?

Chris Pollette

Yeah, I think it's also a violation of the Geneva Convention, too.

Josh Clark

Well, I'm quite sure, but I think pretty much 97 percent of what the Nazis did was in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Chris Pollette

They weren't about the rules.

Josh Clark

I think that was pretty much out the window from Day 1, you know.

Chris Pollette

Not about following the rules.

Josh Clark

No.

Chris Pollette

But you said, too, in the article that they weren't the only ones who had employed some of the former Nazis.
