|Background= An intellectual turned Nazi in 1933, Barbie joined the special security branch service of the SS in 1935 and rose through the ranks to become the infamous Butcher of Lyon. Over the course of his wartime career he was personally responsible for the torture and murder of an estimated 14,000 prisoners. After the war he worked for the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps, and fled to Bolvia. In 1965 he was recruited by the West German foreign intelligence agency Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) where he was given his codename 'Alder'. While working in Boliva he helped the CIA capture Che Guevara in 1967. In 1980 he helped the dictator García Meza rise to power in Bolvia, and when the dictatorship fell in 1983 was subsequently extradited to France to answer for his WW2 crimes. Found guilty by the French justice system and sentenced to life in prison, the Neo-Nazis made contact with him and helped orchestrate his escape from prison in 1991. With his enlistment as one of the key members of the Neo-Nazi faction, Barbie lent legitimacy to a relatively young organization. The Alder met his end at Armas Laine's hands above a German bakery in Istanbul in 2010. | |||
