The group is vividly portrayed in Frederick Forsyth's novel The Odessa File. Want to discuss real-world problems, be involved in the most engaging discussions and hear from the journalists? The Odessa File is a thriller by Frederick Forsyth, first published in 1972, about the adventures of a young German reporter attempting to discover the location of a former SS concentration-camp commander. Miller pursues the story and visits the State Attorney General's office and other offices where he learns that no one is prepared to search for or prosecute former Nazis. Newest first, -1) ? The film adaptation The Odessa File was released in 1974 starring Jon Voight and Maximilian Schell. Mr Forsyth confirmed yesterday that his novel was based on reports of a meeting in France in August 1944. ODESSA's plan throughout the novel - to obliterate the State of Israel by combining German technological know-how with Egyptian biological weapons - has been thwarted. Determined to hunt Roschmann down, Miller consults with Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal who informs him about ODESSA, a secret organization for former members of the SS. After the film was released to the public, he was arrested by the Argentinian police, skipped bail, and fled to Asunción, Paraguay where he died on 10 August 1977. Rather, Miller directs him to the passage describing Roschmann's murder of the army captain, who Miller reveals to have been his father Erwin. Eventually Miller confronts Roschmann at gunpoint and forces him to read from Tauber's diary. The name ODESSA is an acronym for the German phrase "Organisation der ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen", which translates as "Organisation of Former Members of the SS". Independent Premium. The novel is a clever blend of historical facts and real life personnel’s with a fictitious story line and is written with the high level of detailing and decent pace that is usually associated with the works of Forsyth. Slowly Miller unravels the entire system, but his cover is compromised, in part by his insistence on using his own car, which is associated with the journalist Miller, not the SS man he is impersonating, and ODESSA sets its top hitman on Miller's trail.

In addition, Miller's information reaches the public and badly embarrasses the West German authorities enough for them to arrest and prosecute a large number of ODESSA members, though the book notes that ODESSA continues to exist and usually succeeds in keeping former SS members from facing justice. This meeting is detailed in US documents seen by The Independent which were collected by a top-secret intelligence operation called Project Safehaven at the end of the war.

(If the real Glücks had still been alive he would have been 74 years old and Prützmann would have been 62 in 1963. The intelligence report quotes SS Obergruppenfuhrer Scheid on post-war strategy: "From now on, German industry must realise that the war cannot be won and that it must make steps in preparation for a post-war commercial campaign," he said.
