Summary

Gerrard Williams is an investigative journalist, author, director, and historian with an esteemed career spanning over thirty years. His resume includes acting as Duty Editor for Reuters, the BBC and Sky News. Williams’ groundbreaking reporting has taken him to the front lines of the fall of the Soviet Union, the Rwandan Genocide, the 2004 tsunami in Thailand and the US occupation of Iraq, among many other international stories.

Ten years ago, while reporting in Argentina, Williams came across evidence in a local archive that changed the way he looked at historical reporting–Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Hitler, used clandestine international routes to flee defeated Germany for safe haven in Argentina and other South American countries.

Gerrard Williams is also the author of the book & director of the film, GREY WOLF: The Escape Of Adolf Hitler. Gerrard was also a part of History Channel's 'HUNTING HITLER' series.
