There are hundreds of story's claiming conspiracy amongst allies and Nazi war criminals to help them escape the punishment that they were due. Most notably organizations like ODESSA and Bormann's own organization.
As well as those Nazi organizations there were accusations of complicity in the escape of NAZI war criminals by the CIA and the Vatican. Though the German government claims that Martin Bormann is dead and his remains identified by DNA testing of a relative many agency's still believe that Bormann escaped from Berlin during the chaos of the final days.
There are many connections if you look deeply enough that tie the three major agency's to one another. The Vatican, the CIA and NAZI intelligence organizations.
The first hook: Reinhard Gehlen
The Gehlen Organization employed by the CIA has long been suspected of being a satellite division of ODESSA. Gehlen was also a Knight of Malta, an order with strong links to the Vatican.
How much did the CIA know of Eichmanns presence in Europe and South America after the war.
Alois Hudal, is a renowned Bishop who helped Nazi's escape after the war.
How about this, Franz von Papen, also a Knight of Malta. who was almost solely responsible for Hitler assuming power. The links aren't even tenuous, there downright obvious.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Lets not forget Operation Paperclip
Some of the Nazi's smuggled to America were via the Ratlines set up by Bishop Alois Hudal, coincidence.
More to come.

The first hook: Reinhard Gehlen
In July 1946 Gehlen was officially released from American captivity and flown back into Germany, Camp King, where he began his intelligence work by setting up an organization of former German intelligence officers. He set up a dummy organization in Pullach[1] near Munich called the South German Industrial Development Organization to mask his undercover operation and spy ring. Gehlen handpicked 350 former German intelligence agents to join him; that number eventually grew into 4,000 undercover agents. They were called V-men and for many years they were the only eyes and ears of the CIA on the ground in the Soviet Bloc nations during the Cold War. This group was soon to be given the nickname the "Gehlen Organisation."

One of the most startling of those documents is a CIA memo dated March 19 1958, from the station chief in Munich to headquarters, noting that German intelligence (codenamed Upswing) had that month passed on a list of high-ranking former Nazis and their whereabouts. Eichmann was third on the list. The memo passed on a rumour that he was in Jerusalem "despite the fact that he was responsible for mass extermination of Jews", but also states, matter-of-factly: "He is reported to have lived in Argentina under the alias Clemens since 1952."
Alois Hudal, is a renowned Bishop who helped Nazi's escape after the war.
In 1944, when the Pope's Pontifical Commission of Assistance (PCA) was divided into some 20 regional subcommittees, the Austrian section (Assistenza Austriaca) was placed under Hudal's control.[23] This allowed him and other PCA priests to piece together their network and organise the escape of war criminals such as Franz Stangl, commanding officer of Treblinka. Stangl himself told Gitta Sereny [24] that he went looking for Hudal in Rome, because he had heard that the bishop was helping the Germans. Hudal arranged quarters in Rome for him till his papers came through, then gave him money and a Red Cross passport with a visa to Syria. Stangl then left for Damascus, where the bishop had found him a job in a textile factory[25]. Other highly prominent Nazi war criminals helped by the Hudal network were SS captain Edward Roschmann, known as the "Butcher of Riga", doctor Josef Mengele, known as the "Angel of Death" at Auschwitz, Gustav Wagner, commanding officer of Sobibor, Alois Brunner, organizer of deportations from France and Slovakia to German concentration camps, and above all Adolf Eichmann, the man who had been put in charge of implementing the murder of European Jewry[26]. In 1994 Erich Priebke, a former SS captain, told Italian journalist Emanuela Audisio, La Repubblica, that bishop Hudal helped him reach Buenos Aires, which was later admitted by Vatican historian Robert Graham SJ [27].
In 1945 Hudal gave refuge in Rome to Otto Wächter, who had played a leading role in the July Putsch of 1934 in Austria, which led to the assassination of Dollfuss. In 1938-1939, he headed the "Wächter-Kommission", the government body named after him that was responsible for the dismissal and/or compulsory retirement of all Jewish officials in Austria.[28]. From 1939 on, as governor of the Cracow district, Wächter organized the persecution of the Jews and ordered the establishment of the Cracow Ghetto in 1941. Wächter is mentioned as one of the leading advocates in the General Government who were in favor of the Jewish extermination by gassing and as a member of the SS team who under Himmler's supervision and Odilo Globocnik's direction planned Operation Reinhard, the first phase of the Final Solution, leading to the death of more than 2,000,000 Polish Jews[29]. After the war Wächter lived in a Roman monastery "as a monk"[30], under the protection of Bishop Hudal. He died on July 14, 1949, in the Roman hospital of Santo Spirito "in the arms" of Bishop Hudal[31].

In 1999, however, Italian researcher Matteo Sanfilippo revealed a letter drafted on 31 August 1948 by Bishop Hudal to Argentinian President Juan Perón, requesting 5,000 visas, 3,000 for German and 2,000 for Austrian «soldiers» [39]. In the letter Hudal explained that these were not (Nazi) refugees, but anti-Communist fighters whose wartime «sacrifice» had saved Europe from Soviet domination. [40] According to Argentine researcher Uki Goñi, the documents he uncovered in 2003 show the Roman Catholic Church was also deeply involved in the secret network. "The Perón government authorized the arrival of the first Nazi collaborators [in Argentina], as a result of a meeting in March 1946 between Antonio Caggiano, a [newly elevated] Argentine cardinal, and Eugène Tisserant, a French cardinal attached to the Vatican".[41]
How about this, Franz von Papen, also a Knight of Malta. who was almost solely responsible for Hitler assuming power. The links aren't even tenuous, there downright obvious.
Franz Joseph Hermann Michael Maria von Papen zu Köningen (help·info) (29 October 1879 – 2 May 1969) was a German nobleman, Catholic politician, General Staff officer, and diplomat, who served as Chancellor of Germany (Reichskanzler) in 1932.
To many historians, Papen was also a key member in the small clique of right-wing politicians who "jobbed Adolf Hitler into power by backstairs intrigue".[1] He has been called a "stirrup holder" (Steigbügelhalter) for Hitler.
The central role that Papen played in Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in January 1933 was reflected by Papen's indictment at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. He was, however, acquitted based on the tribunal's determination that his "political immoralities" were not punishable under the "conspiracy to commit crimes against peace" charged in Papen's indictment.

Lets not forget Operation Paperclip
Operation Paperclip (also credited as Project Paperclip) was the code name under which the U.S. intelligence and military services extracted German scientists from Nazi Germany, during and after the final stages of World War II. In 1945 the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency was established and given direct responsibility for Operation Paperclip
Some of the Nazi's smuggled to America were via the Ratlines set up by Bishop Alois Hudal, coincidence.
More to come.
