This dissertation explores Western intelligence services' early Cold War employment of former Nazi officers and collaborators who planned and participated in the wartime occupation of Soviet territories. In the early Cold War, Western intelligence agencies actively recruited individuals with clear records of hate-based politics, ethnic atrocities, and tendencies towards authoritarianism. This work explores the early Cold War relationship between western intelligence services and anti-Soviet nationalist émigrés, as well the use of ethnic hatred as a political weapon against communism. Its findings alter our current paradigm for understanding international and transnational support for nationalist, ethnic-based movements and the modern manipulation of ethnic hatred as a political tool.
