The White Gallows (51 page)

Acknowledgements

I had the idea for this book while attending a Klaus Tschira sponsored workshop in Carl Bosch’s villa on the outskirts of
Heidelberg
. Many thanks to Heike Jöns, Christiane Marxhausen, Peter Meusburger and Edgar Wunder for their invitation to attend and their hospitality. Cian O’Callaghan, John Driscoll, Brendan Bartley, Cora Collins and Mervyn Kitchin read through a draft and made useful comments. John McElligott, a former Detective Superintendent with the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, answered all of my questions with good humour, read through a draft, and gave excellent advice.   Sean O’Riain kindly copyedited the proofs.

The following books proved useful in providing information about IG Farben, Monowitz, the Ahnenerbe, the Jewish Skeleton Project, and Skorzeny’s time in
Ireland
