Instinct For Survival

When World War Two ended in 1945, many German Nazis tried to escape capture, arrest and conviction as war criminals by assuming new identities and fleeing to different countries. Some of the more prominent Nazis were captured and tried as war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials, in Nuremberg, Germany. from November 20, 1945 until October 1, 1946. However, others avoided capture, so in the years after 1946, the search continued. The best known of these was the capture in 1962 of Adolph Eichmann in Argentina by the Mossad, the Israeli secret service. Eichmann was taken to Israel, where he was tried, convicted and executed by hanging. But other Nazi fugitives still remained. And in 1964, an American Immigration Services investigator, Mike Taylor, was assigned to hunt down one such fugitive. Taylor's search takes him to several cities, including Paris, Rome, Venice, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Munich, New York and Washington. With the help of Elke Herrman, a librarian in the War Crimes Commission of the German Federal Bureau of Records, Mike finds and follows a trail that leads to a face-to-face with the Nazi he's been seeking. And what is really surprising is the latter's post-World War Two identity.
