When it comes to talking about what surviving German Nazis did after WW2, the most popular topic is Leftists talking about the Nazis who became CIA assets and operatives, Renhaird Gehlen, Klaus Barbie, Paul Dickopf and the scientists involved in Paper Clip.
The second would be Zionists talking about the Nazis who went on serve at the disposal of Anti-Zionist Arab Nationalists, Walter Rauff and Alois Brunner in Syria, the countless who were employed by Nasser in Egypt like Johann von Leers, and some were helping the Arab Liberation Army during the Israel-Palestine War in 1947-49 but they don't have their own wikipedia pages.
But the thing is these two stories are not as separate from each other as one’s binary assumptions about Cold War Era allegiances would assume. For starters many escaped capture at the end of the War via the exact same Ratlines.
The section of the Wikipedia Page for Walter Rauff on his time in Syria is unclear about exactly where he stood in relation to the various Coups that happened in Syria. This article is more specific.
Walter Rauff worked for Husani al-Zarim specifically the entire time he was in Syria and according to a Sami Jumaa helped Zarim carry out the March 1949 Coup. That Coup was also backed by the CIA via Miles Copeland Jr, the December Coup is what resulted in him leaving Syria. So there is little doubt in my mind that Rauff was a CIA asset during his entire post War career, both in Syria and later in Chile working for the CIA backed Pinochet. The Syrian political party that benefited from the March Coup was the SSNP, Syrian Social Nationalist Party, the same Party that later opposed Israel during the Lebanon Civil War.
Antisemtic Conspiracy Theorists, in addition to falling for the bad leaps in logic all Conspiracy Theorists fall for, are also in blind ignorance of the fact that the U.S. “Deep State” has never been Pro-Israel. Miles Copeland, Kemrit Roosevelt Jr and Archibald Roosevelt Jr have been open about how strongly Anti-Zionist they were. The Dulles Brothers have spoken on it less explicitly but their close associations with St John Philby and James Forrestal show how they were never friends to Israel either. And OSS operative James Burnham wrote Anti-Israel articles for National Review.
Returning to the topic at hend, the CIA via Kermit Roosevelt also backed the Coup that put Nasser in power in Egypt in 1952. Many of those Nazi’s who Nasser employed were recommended to him by Gehlen. Nasser was already known to be a Fascist, he was a Green Shirt back in the 30s. Both Kermit Roosevelt and Miles Copeland remained close associates of Nasser for years. And John Foster Dulles was responsible for the Eisenhower Administration's decision to save Nasser from Israel during the Suez Crisis, one of America’s most shameful sins.
Paul Dickopf was a known CIA asset and a life long friend of Franocis Genoud, a Swiss Banker who supported the Nazis before and during WW2 and spent his post war Life funding various Anti-Zionist Arab Nationalist causes. Among them was George Habash’s Popular Front for The Liberation of Palestine which is nominally Marxist-Lennist but in my view is really a NazBol party. But his CIA ties and Genoud’s influence in the Middle East helped him become head of Interpol in 1968 which he held till 1972.
Paul Dickopf’s Wikipedia page avoids this topic, but there are investigations that have shown him to have been involved in Munich in 1972. Ali Hassna Salamah, the leader of Black September is also known to have been a CIA asset since 1970.
Now a Conspiracy Theorist would conclude from these two things that Munich was a CIA op, which I have said cheekily in some tweets and youtube comments. But my real view is that the CIA probably didn’t intentionally cause Munich but they are absolutely culpable.
After 1967 America’s Foreign Policy in the Middle East became officially more Pro-Israel and less Neutral. But behind the scenes I’m convinced this true Anti-Israel agenda never went away.
