This book examines the circumstances surrounding
SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Karl Wolff's escape from prosecution for war
crimes in 1945. Wolff avoided prosecution because of his role in
'Operation Sunrise', negotiations conducted by high-ranking
American, Swiss and British officials - in violation of the
Casablanca agreements with the Soviet Union - for the surrender of
German forces in Italy that enabled the Anglo-American forces to
take Trieste. After 1945, Allied officials, amongst them Allen
Dulles, in a move that later helped him ascend to the head of the
CIA, shielded Wolff from prosecution to maintain secrecy about the
negotiations. 'Operation Sunrise' thus relates to the early origins
of the Cold War in Europe and had wide-ranging implications, even
in the field of justice: new evidence suggests that the Western
Allies not only failed to ensure cooperation between their
respective national war crimes prosecution organizations, but in
certain cases even obstructed justice by withholding evidence from
the prosecution.
