Loftus,J. The Belarus Secret. 1982
Loftus, John. The Belarus Secret. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1982.
197 pages. Edited by Nathan Miller.
For over two years, John Loftus was a prosecutor in the Justice
Department's Office of Special Investigations, where he investigated the war
crimes and subsequent activities of the Belorussian Nazis. In this capacity
he coordinated a highly-classified inquiry called the "Belarus Project."
This book describes what Loftus uncovered from the files of several U.S.
government agencies.
In 1948 a secret section of the State Department began recruiting
Belorussian war criminals for guerrilla warfare inside the Soviet bloc. When
the operations failed, these Nazi collaborators were allowed to settle in
the U.S. As recently as 1978, government departments were lying to Congress
in an effort to cover up this history. Loftus blew the whistle on CBS's
"60 Minutes" in May 1982, drawing headlines across the nation.
The use of former Nazis by U.S. intelligence is also covered
comprehensively in "Blowback" by Christopher Simpson (1988). In another
twist to this curious history, Mark Aaron teams up with Loftus to examine
the Vatican's Nazi-smuggling and its probable infiltration by Soviet
intelligence in "Unholy Trinity" (1992).
