If you really want to see a good movie about fascists and collaborators who had long and productive careers after WW2 (who, as Regis Debray says in the movie, picked up where they left off in Europe) watched Marcel Ophuls "Hotel Terminus".
They mention Barbie travelled to Europe in the movie, I forget if they said the USA. Barbie did travel here, and that's in the Ryan report, which is more of a whitewash than Ryan speaking in the movie would have lead me to believe. The Ryan report is avaliable on the web in PDF format as are some FOIA's from the FBI regarding Barbie. It came out recently that the CIA *was* in contact with Barbie in South America, where the right wing government made use of the torture and interrogation skills which he had refined on Jews, leftists and partisans in France. Very fascinating movie, just like Sorrow and the Pity, interviews with retired American intelligence agents, French partisans, Vatican functionaries, New York Times reporters and so forth...very interesting.
