Operation Finale — Argentina
Mossad agents capture Adolf Eichmann in a Buenos Aires suburb in May 1960 — bringing the architect of the Holocaust's logistics to trial in Israel fifteen years after the war.
Adolf Eichmann, who coordinated the logistics of the Final Solution, fled to Argentina in 1950 as 'Ricardo Klement'. On 11 May 1960 Mossad agents seized him in San Fernando. He was secretly transported to Israel, tried in Jerusalem, found guilty of crimes against humanity, and hanged on 1 June 1962 — the only civil execution in Israeli history.
