Many Nazi soldiers were arrested after WW2 and prosecuted at the Nuremberg Trials, but some escaped justice and fled to Brazil, Argentina, and beyond. Many of them managed to slip into the United States using forged documents. The Autocrat tracks one such war criminal, a Nazi who worked at Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Buchenwald concentration camps overseeing Jews and killing many for his own sadistic pleasure. This man entered the USA on forged papers and through a series of deft moves formed a company in Detroit where he lived in anonymity for 17 years until one day a new employee recognized him as one of his captors from the camps and turned him in. The man panicked and vanished while Artemis Securities a company that hunted Nazi war criminals chased him across a dozen states. Luckily for the Nazi, he had an escape plan with multiple different IDs and a suitcase full of money, so was able to disappear at a moment’s notice.
