Postwar Nazi Hunting

1945–1970 CE

The end of the Second World War left millions displaced and allowed many perpetrators to hide under false identities. Allied governments, Jewish organisations and private investigators gathered evidence and tracked suspects.

Legal standards, political priorities and the emerging Cold War often limited prosecutions. The work depended on testimony, archives and the persistence of people unwilling to accept disappearance as justice.

The Huntress turns this history into a pursuit across Europe and the United States as a fictional war-crimes investigator searches for a former Nazi killer.
