"60 MINUTES" PRESENTS "THE RITCHIE BOYS" ON SUNDAY, JAN. 2

THE RITCHIE BOYS - Jon Wertheim tells the little-known story of the Jews who escaped the Nazis during World War II and returned to fight Hitler as part of a secret American military intelligence group trained in espionage and psychological warfare. After the war ended, many of the Ritchie Boys continued to work in the field of intelligence and played a significant role in setting up what eventually became the CIA. Katherine Davis is the producer.

Editor's note: This Sunday's special edition features an expanded version of Wertheim's report from May 9, and includes interviews and footage not previously broadcast.
