The Konigsberg operated from Germany's colony of Tanga. After sinking a British cruiser she hid in the upper reaches of the Rufiji River. After a lengthy naval & air campaign by British forces she was finally destroyed by the indirect fire from two RN Monitors. By the middle of 1915 the high seas had been mostly cleared of German surface warships but two armed German ships dominated Lake Tanganyika. Two British armed motor boats were shipped to the West African coast from England & made their way by river & overland haulage to the lake a 400 mile journey. The result was the destruction of the German lake boats & the invasion of Tanganyika by British forces. This operation became the inspiration for CS Forester's novel The African Queen & the film that followed.

- Eichmann Mengele Martin Bormann & Klaus Barbie
- not just for the monstrosity of their crimes but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence holed up in the depths of Latin America always one step ahead of their pursuers. The nature of their escape was as gripping as any good thriller. They were aided & abetted by corrupt Catholic priests in the Vatican they travelled down secret rat lines hid in foreboding castles high in the Austrian alps & were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. The attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic with vengeful Holocaust survivors inept politicians & daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war the attempts sometimes successful to bring them to justice & what really happened to those that got away. He has interviewed Nazi hunters former members of Mossad & poured through archives across the globe to bring this remarkable period of our recent history to dramatic & vivid life.
