    Germany is fighting to keep files sealed that detail Adolf Eichman’s life on the run before he was captured by Mossad agents and tried for war crimes in Israel. Documents about the Holocaust's chief logistics organiser’s escape from Europe and 15-year exile in Argentina are currently bound by a 50-year secrecy order. But campaigners challenging the rule say the Eichmann files may prove German and Vatican officials colluded in his escape and freedom.

    Thanks for the link! I have been doing some reading on Eichmann recently...I hope they make these files public. I did find one part of that article a little eye raising:
    "He was seized, stood trial, found guilty and hanged on May 31, 1962."
    They didn't mess around!
