ABSTRACT
The next three chapters seek to contribute to existing debates over the role of US intelligence, particularly OSS and its successor organisations, SSU and, from 1947, the CIA, in the war crimes prosecution field by providing a more nuanced and balanced interpretation. This chapter reviews a wide range of different types of contribution that OSS officials made not only to the monitoring of Nazi war criminality as this was taking place, but also to the post-war investigation and gathering of trial evidence concerning such criminality1 and the whereabouts of perpetrators.2
