In the first weeks of the Allied
occupation of Germany leading Nazis fell, one by one, into Allied
custody, but one man, his hands steeped in blood, would evade the
judgment that awaited his colleagues at Nuremburg. SS
Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann was Chief of Department IVB4 of
the Reich Main Security Office, and operational manager of the
genocide that despatched 5 million European Jews to the gas
chambers. On 11 May 1960 he was captured in an operation of
breathtaking skill and daring by a team of Mossad agents in a
Buenos Aires suburb. Smuggled out of Argentina to Israel, Eichmann
was indicted there on charges of crimes against humanity, and
hanged on 1 June 1962.

authoritative text been combined. Posters of World War II gives
