New documents shed light on 'Angel of Death' Mengele's escape from Nazi Germany

Mengele, known as the 'Angel of Death' for his cruel experiments at Auschwitz, filed a travel request to West Germany in 1959 using his real name, suggesting confidence in his safety. The documents show that multiple countries had more information on Mengele than previously believed, despite efforts by the German government and Mossad to capture him.
