World War II Interrogators

World War II interrogators believed that the most effective interrogations methods were based on relationship building. Even the most effective, and famous, German interrogator, Hanns Scharff, used relationship building as his method. Below are photos of World War II interrogators and the cover to an excellent publication by my former co-workers who conducted research on World War II interrogators.
