He was however best known for his role in Operation Keelhaul, the forced repatriation of Russian, Ukrainian and other prisoners of war, some of whom had collaborated with the Nazis, to the Soviet Union where many of them were executed or sent to labour camps. After he was accused of war crimes in the late 1980s, he successfully sued his accusers for libel.
