In the aftermath of WWII, the victorious Allies vowed to hunt Nazi war criminals “to the ends of the earth”. Yet many were never hunted - instead recruited by foreign intelligence services. Based on Danny Orbach's best-selling book Fugitives unveils the truth of these Nazis turned Cold War spies.

Through fascinating archive, cinematic interviews, and high-end reconstruction, this three-part series tells the amazing stories of some of the Cold War's most larger-than-life characters. We relive the action, as they weave their webs of influence from their bases in dark and smoky German restaurants, chaotic smuggler-infested Yugoslav ports, and dingy Sauerkraut-reeking Damascene safehouses. They use their influence to sell arms, contraband, and of course, national secrets, playing both sides as double and even triple agents. Along the way, they earn huge amounts of money, while narrowly escaping capture or worse - until eventually, their luck runs out.

Using never before seen and newly declassified American, French, German and Israeli intelligence documents, this electrifying tale of interweaving spy-der webs reveals the world’s intelligence services as never seen before. Filmed and presented as a Hollywood spy thriller, this is a story that has never been fully told - until now.

With geopolitical tensions escalate once more in Europe and the Middle East, ‘Fugitives’ is a timely series centred on the riveting history of Cold War intelligence - with compelling contemporary relevance for a modern audience.
