As one of the highest-ranking Gestapo officers in Rome during the war, Erich Priebke is responsible for one of Italy’s worst atrocities — the Ardeatine Cave massacres. On a direct order from Adolf Hitler, Priebke orchestrates the assassination of 335 Italian civilians. And, after escaping to Argentina, he eludes justice for fifty years until a high-profile team of American TV journalists stumbles onto his trail. Researching how Nazi war criminals fled to post-war Argentina, the ABC news crew pores over the government’s recently released archives in Buenos Aires. After uncovering two names of interest, their trail eventually leads them to Bariloche, a German-speaking resort town high in the Andes.
