Nazi Hunters

There are so many movies and documentaries out there about WW II that it takes something really special to capture, and keep, your attention, and this National Geographic series has it. Each episode focuses on a Nazi war criminal – Adolf Eichman, Klaus Barbie, Herbert Cukurs and others – and gives viewers an in-depth, step-by-step explanation of how they were found and how they were captured. While the interviews with the men who actually did the capturing are fascinating, it is the way the plans are detailed, and then acted out in reenactments, that will keep you glued to the screen.
