Adolf Eichmann

And with that mission, our journey through some of Mossad's most famous documented operations comes to an end.

From the capture of Adolf Eichmann to the pursuit that followed Munich, from Operation Diamond to Operation Moses, From the mystery of Dubai to the daring rescue at Entebbe, each mission revealed a different side of intelligence work.

Some were about justice.

Some were about survival.

Bear in mind that these were really not the Nazis.

concentration camp monsters who would later become world famous, like Dr. Mengele and Eichmann.

Those figures were really not known when the war came to an end.

We're talking about the the top leadership of the Nazi party and Hitler's Germany, the people, the leaders who stood with him on the podium at Nuremberg, who were the people who carried out his instructions, his orders, who brought the final solution and the Holocaust to what it was.

don't remember anything.

And the Holocaust survivors until the Eichmann trial in 1961 did not speak publicly.

Right.

Okay.

Thomas is back.

We're going to take a little bit of a detour, as we do very often, to talk about a subject that's been at the forefront of Thomas's mind recently, the quote-unquote trial of Adolf Eichmann.

So, Thomas, take it away, please.

Yeah, it's an important subject matter.

And that's not just a colloquialism or some odd convention that developed over time for ideological reasons.

That's very much coded into the world system.

And A lot of things were put to the test with the trial of Adolf Eichmann, including the sort of special dispensations Israel has at international law, and it also had the force of solidifying and establishing as precedent for all time this anti-fascist convention whereby people are going to be held into court for allegedly having been involved in what was unilaterally declared to be criminal acts in the service of the Axis powers.

And there was weird intrigues around Eichmann and his apprehension.
