Alot of them escaped, a-a-a-and went to Central/South America

They went to America with project paperclip

I pressed the wrong button, People should look into Books like Gulag Archipelago from Solzhenitsyn and one would see that not only the Krauts were Devils but not one was innocent, France was at the Table condemning the Germans, and half of France during the War would help Germany, I could go on forever.

The title is accurate. The question gets answered. Some "escapes" aren't exciting, but are grindingly, illusively unsatisfying. Relinquishing retribution and justice to a higher power means no escape, ever.

It is simply inconceivable that any human being believes he is above other human beings.

Ruldolf Hess was not an escapee, he flew to Scotland in 1941 in some whacky attempt to negotiate peace with Britain, he was tried at Nuremberg and received a life sentence, that he served in Spandau prison, Berlin, until his apparent suicide in 1987. From 1966 he was the only inmate at Spandau.

Some went and worked for the UN and NASA. There were many more who were employed by the western alliances. They never tell you that.

The church in Rome helped many escape!

Disappointing.
This video does not anwser its own question. It mentions that Nazis escaped via rat lines, it mentions that the Catholic Church was involved, but it spends all of its time describing the trials, and no time at all describing how those rat lines worked or how the Catholic Church smuggled them out of Europe and into (essentially) South America.

There’s a great series on Prime about this. I can’t think what it’s called but it’s something like Chasing Hilter or something like that. It goes into detail and has a ton of evidence

Know-how was important and Europe and USA would never lose the chance to obtain the science of war at ease.

[jessemerchant]

Not all of them did.I knew the sons of some of them.I work with them in the City of Chicago. Also knew some Jewish underground guys that were looking for them. It's kind of weird being in the middle of all that.

Least we forget before it was all over France was a collaborator not always just an "allie"

[importantname]

Who wrote the title? watched 10 minutes, nothing about how they escaped.

[pixxz]

Lots turned into EU, WEF IMF, and others.

[kabiam]

Can't be many left. They would all be in their hundreds by now.

The Vatican under Pope Pius XII helped many with money and visas to South American countries especially Argentina, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

Those creepy Gables murdering their OWN children is incomprehensible.

[C.Fecteau-AU-MJ]

Operation Paperclip can account for a good number of them.
