Adolf Eichmann

The capture of Adolf Eichmann by Mossad in Argentina is one of the most dramatic of all Nazi hunting stories. His trial in Israel revealed to the world the workings behind the holocaust. Eichmann himself described and how and why so many German public officials were so complicit with the cries of the Nazis. The most terrible crimes in history were committed, not by a few crazed serial killers, but by legions of government officials. The men behind the holocaust were civil servants who were drawn from the brightest university graduates, whose jobs were famously secure and come with generous pensions.
