Infamous Nazi Eichmann Hunted Across Americas Ends in Buenos Aires
Informants say Adolf Eichmann, the 54 year old former SS colonel, was captured in a Buenos Aires suburb ending a 15 year global manhunt. Israel, which will try him for Nazi crimes, kept agents’ tracking secret as Vienna and Ling authorities traced his wife Vera’s reports to Latin America.
