Allen Dulles, while working for Brown Brothers Harriman, was instrumental in arming Germany before in the years before World War II. During the war, he was a member of the OSS helping "negotiate" a surrender of top NAZIs. After the war, as head of the CIA, Dulles was instrumental in helping hundreds, if not thousands, of NAZIs to escape justice.

After JFK's assassination, President Johnson appointed him to the Warren Commission.
