	Description:		In this episode of Battleground 45, Saul and Patrick delve into the dark history of the ratlines, a system of escape routes used by high-ranking Nazi officials and collaborators to flee Europe after World War II. We explore how these fugitives, including infamous figures like Adolf Eichmann and Klaus Barbie, evaded justice by traveling through a network that stretched from Germany to safe havens in South America and the Middle East. Together they uncover the organisations and individuals, from sympathetic clergy to intelligence agencies, that aided their escape and the enduring legacy of their unpunished crimes.
