(Ha'aretz) Raphael Ahren - The West German secret service knew about Adolf Eichmann's hiding place in Argentina nearly a decade before Israeli agents captured the Nazi criminal in 1960, the German daily Bild reported Saturday. According to documents just released last week, "SS Colonel Eichmann is not to be found in Egypt but is residing in Argentina under the fake name Clemens. E.'s address is known to the editor-in-chief of the German newspaper in Argentina Der Weg [The Way]," an index card from 1952 stated. Eichmann, considered one of the key architects of the genocide of the Jews in Europe, was captured by Mossad agents in 1960, brought to Israel, convicted in court, and hanged in 1962.
