Crucial evidence on Nazi war crimes remained hidden in British and US government archived for decades, reports the Independent.
Thousands of pages detailing Nazi atrocities in Eastern and Western Europe were only examined by German investigators in the last four years, having never been previously informed of its existence.
Most suspects and witnesses from the archives have died, resulting in many war criminals escaping prosecution.
