[00:00:00]Did you know the most wanted Nazi war criminal lived openly for 40 years and died peacefully in his bed? Josef Mengele was known as the Angel of Death.

[00:00:09]At Auschwitz, he decided who lived and who died with a simple point of his finger. He performed surgery on children without anesthesia. He tried to change eye colors with chemical injections. He dissected living twins to see how they differed inside. When the war ended, Mengele simply walked away. A secret network called the Rat Line smuggled him to Argentina. He got plastic surgery, changed his name, started over. While families of his victims spent decades searching for justice, Mengele was swimming in Paraguay pools and attending dinner parties. The government protected him. He had friends. He felt safe.

[00:00:43]International manhunts launched. Rewards were offered. Nazi hunters followed every lead, but they never found him. In 1979, Josef Mengele suffered a stroke while swimming at a beach in Brazil. He died instantly, surrounded by family. He never spent a single day in prison for his crimes.
