Abstract

After the UK passed the War Crimes Act in 1991, the names of several hundred Nazi collaborators from Eastern Europe came under scrutiny. But only two were prosecuted and one convicted. Who were the other suspects? Why did the Crown Prosecution Service rule that perpetrators responsible for hundreds, if not thousands of deaths, should not face charges? And what part did the Soviet Union play in tracking collaborators who had fled to Britain, leading untroubled lives in their ‘safe haven’ for half a century? In a series of case histories, underpinned by both an empirical and theoretical analysis, the authors illuminate a period of recent history which has largely gone under the radar.
