72. Not all - not even most.

Most escaped to guess where? The U.S. - where the CIA ferreted in up to 10,000 including dependents.

Many settled in the Carlsbad-Escondido, CA, area - when as late as the 2000s, the "Danish" cafés full of surly old German men played 'Lili Marlene' and some antique stores looked like Third Reich museums.

Worst of all, they (particularly Reinhard Gehlen) had an enormous influence in our national security policy - including on the National Security Act of 1947, which Truman later regretted signing.

It goes without saying they heavily infiltrated the GOP (psy-ops expert Otto von Bolschwing and his protegée Helene von Damm - Reagan's secretary - were two such characters).

And indeed, the few Nazi descendants that I did meet in SoCal were all rabid Republicans.

History is complicated.
