  • Uncovered - Hunting Australia's Nazi war criminals (Part 1)

    Uncovered - Hunting Australia's Nazi war criminals (Part 1)
    Oct 13 2025

    In the mid 1980s, Australia had to reckon with an uncomfortable truth: that hundreds of suspected Nazi war criminals had made this country their home. They had slipped in after World War II and had been living quietly in the suburbs.

    Leading the effort to expose them was the Special Investigations Unit. Prosecutor Graham Blewitt was part of the team whose task was to find the men who thought they’d escaped justice.

    This is Part 1 of Hunting Australia’s Nazi War Criminals. Part 2 out next Tuesday.
