Eichmann olikin

Eichmann ja CIA enne vuotta 1942!!

Ehkä nukuin ja unen ja merkillisen ajatuksen aloin ihan aijaan kuoluksi googletamaan eihman cia, sieltä alkoi tula vähän samaa pohjaa materialia. Käsitämäätöntä, eivät sinäänsä kuin ohimennen, mutta luekaa ja pohtikaa skenaariota jonka ihmetyttämään tämä juttu. Ihan vastemaisesti tehtyä ihmettelen – en sellaisia yleensä näen oikeastaan en edes muista millainen se oli siitä vain aloin pohtimaan Arvoitusta. Jos nyt onkaan se. Joatain on vaistoa sen. Se on huono perustelu sinänsä.

Se oli uni vaan mutta tukevaa matskua alka netistä löytämään niin se outoa, enkä keneltäkään moista ole ennen kuullut. Sinänsä erittäin vastenmielinen Teema, CIA:lla oli niin paljon tietoa tästä miehestä että Israelilaisetkin yllättyivät asiasta ja toisaalta kuin sitä Israelilin puoleta kyseltiin CIA –Vättiin reagoivan oudosti. Hermotuneesti.
No siis en ole väittänyt mitään. Pian tulee sceanrio vähintään

Itse ajatus
-   Jos Heyndich haluttiin pois muista syistä kun on ilmoitettu? Salamurha taphtui vähäinen en Lopullisen –Ratkaisua. Onko sattuma? ehkä tai ehkä ei? juuri noin jälkeen 4kk - mutta hyvissä ajoin ennen kun se lopullinen ratkaisu lähti toteuttaman Aichmann johdolla.
-   Ensimmäinen Heydrichin todllisen salamurhan syy – nykyinen on peitetarina osakask vielä varmaan yksi syy lisää niin paremminkin. Asialla Britti alkoivat tapahtumaan SS-poliisi-kenraali. Tämä mies oli pomo – kun se lopulinen ratkaisu tehtiin onko ne aidot? asiakirjat –sitähän on ihan pitäisi olla, onko esim. joku muu läsnä olleista tunnistanut aitouden läpikotaisin, esim. osa olisi editoitu ? Läsnä olijat jotka selvisivät hengissä ja olivat Koukosessa olleista osa niin kuin en tarkoita täysin kiistänyt – niin kuin” ei se minusta ihan noin mennyt” tai jotain vastaava? No niin onko joku hoksannut käydä läpi ne yksityiskohtaisemmin ajattelisin että oikeudenkäynnissä kyllä toki. Paitsi tuo Eichmann joka varmaan sai ansionsa mukaan Israelissa 1962.

Aichaman olisi ollut jo ennen vuotta 1942 jonkin laisessa yhteistyössä siis värvätty agentiksi jossain vaiheessa ennen kuitenkin vuotta 1942 tai juuri vuoden alussa. Tavallaan sen aikaisen saksan tiedustelu oli kahdessa osassa tämä enemmänkin vielä CIA:n vastapeluri. Aiemmin on ilmeisesti tarkoituksen mukaisesti tai aivan selkeästi vertailemalla esim. 1970-luvun historiaa vs nykyistä Ii-maailmasodan historiaa ehkä tuolta 1990-luvulta asti, kun alkoi valoittua enemmä tietoa koodinpurkamisesta ja vielä yksityiskohtia, laajemmin. On tullut ilmi jos en sano saksalaisten amatööri maisuus – yleensä varmaan manner-eurooplainen vika näissä – kuitenkin niin paljon huonompi, etteinistä ei nyt ollut tidustelunpuolella senkään vertaa vastusta kuin sitten asein. Whermachtin omathan sitten usemassa porukassakin – olivat osaksi motiivi ainakin vielä tuntematon Amriraali Canaris sitten vielä eräiden tidustelu upessereiden erilliset klikit niin kuin länteen- mutta että täällä vähän tai saman alan kilpailevalla SS-organisaatiolla olisi ollut sama juttu. Sitä ei ole haluttu kertoa. Syy on selvä ”Lopullinen rakaskisu” ja että ei se olsi Hitlerin ja Göringing kautta meenetkään. Se fakta ei siellä semmoisesta puhuta vaikka sellainen mauku asiasta tietysti on jäänyt koska tietää lopputuloksen joka oli karmea. Siis en väitä niin kuin mitään, mutta jos sen ratkaisun teki itse aichman eikä niin kuin me luulemme ja alkuperäiset pöytäkirjat jotka pikairjoituksella oli kirjoitanut Eichmann että olisi tehty myöhemin hän itse II-version jotka me tunnemme ja hän touttajana ja mikä ”PAHITA” ratkaisijana. Siinä suhteessa pahinta, että se on silloin CIA:n käsialaa osaksi ja motivia tarvitse etsiä se on niin hirveä teko vakkain muuallakin tapahtui kaikenlaista. Niin mahdollisille toimille joita ei sllaisen ehkä totutunutkaan / tai tarvinutkaan käyttä silloin 1945 jälkeen. Ihan eri juttu on että eikö ole vähän sattuma edes ihmetytä Roosevelt kuoli juuri 1,5 kk ennen sodan loppuimista? Voi olla että on sattuma tai ei voi olla että ei liity tähän tai voi olla että voikin liittyä. Asiat erikseen ei sinäänsä liity tähän mutta jos Rooseveltilla oli mielessä aivan paljon karmeammat suunnitelmat? Tämä sinänsä voi olla oma ”stoorynsa” joku vähän enmmän saksalaisia ajatteleva saanut vihin ja murtänyt mihen ja presidentti on ilmoitettu kuolleen oliko sen nyt äkillisen sairastumisen johdosta? Tai jotain. Tuo Aichmannin onnistunut ja muidenkin onnistuneet paot etelä-americaan vihjaavat myös CIA suhteista eivät sinänsä todista. oliko sitten vielä niin, että ainakin osa näistä Etelä-Amerikkaan pakon pääneistä olivat olleet jo välillä vangittuinakin jopa Briteillä -kanadalaisilla tai USA-joukoilla?

Se sen teki ratkaisun teki kirjuri Eichmann.

National Security Archive Posts Secret CIA History Released Under Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act

Archive Calls on CIA and Congress to Address Loophole Shielding CIA Records From the Freedom of Information Act

Special thanks to David Van Tassel, Staff Director of the Inter Agency Working Group, and John Taylor, archivist at the National Archives, for their assistance in navigating the CIA names files.
Washington D.C., March 24, 2005 - The CIA was surprised by Israeli agents' capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in 1960, and a subsequent CIA file review uncovered extensive ties between Eichmann and men who served as CIA assets and allies (like Franz Alfred Six and Otto Von Bolschwing), according to the CIA's three-volume Directorate of Operations file and their Directorate of Intelligence file on Eichmann, posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

Obersturmbannführer (Lt. Col.) Eichmann was originally a member of the SD (Sicherheitsdienst or Security Service), and went on to head Gestapo Section IV B4 (responsible for Jewish affairs) where he helped plan and implement the Holocaust. Eichmann was captured at the end of World War II by allied forces, but managed to escape the internment camp where he was confined in 1946. On May 2, 1960, Eichmann was apprehended by Israeli secret agents in Argentina, where he had been hiding under an assumed name, and smuggled back to Israel to stand trial for his crimes. After a highly publicized trial in 1961, Eichmann was sentenced to death and executed in 1962.

The CIA file on Eichmann includes a number of revelations, including the lack of American intelligence on Eichmann's whereabouts before his capture, as well as a lack of intelligence on the Israeli operation to find and bring him to justice. The documents contained in this names file reveal CIA surprise at the initial capture of Eichmann in Argentina by Israeli agents. After news of the capture surfaced, the Director of the CIA immediately requested that CIA operatives with contacts in the Israeli intelligence service, gather "all possible details" on the operation. In one such interchange between a CIA agent and his Israeli counterpart about the Eichmann capture, the undisclosed CIA agent notes "I opened the conversation by asking him to transmit to [excised] and [excised] congratulations on the final accomplishment of what appeared to be a magnificent job and our desire to help in any way possible. Although we felt sure that [excised] had much more information on the men than we have, nevertheless, there may be captured Nazi war documents in which he might be interested." [Vol 1, document 49].

Later documents reveal CIA attempts to locate relevant documents in German captured documents, files in the Berlin Document Center in Germany, and other sources like the International Tracing Service. To help strengthen the close ties between the CIA and Israel's intelligence agencies, the Counterintelligence Staff at the Directorate of Operations (headed by James Angleton) combed through the archives and submitted for further research other German officers' names that were mentioned in the Eichmann documents. The consequence was the discovery that some of those linked to Eichmann also had ties to the CIA and the CIA-sponsored West German intelligence service (BND). (Note 1)

At the top of one of these lists of associated officer names was Otto Von Bolschwing [Doc 7, Vol 2]. Bolschwing "had been Eichmann's tutor on Zionism and the politics of Zionism in the mid-1930s and then his ally in persecuting the Jews of Austria." (Note 2) After the war, Bolschwing served as an asset first for the Gehlen organization, and was then recruited directly by the CIA for work in Austria. Despite his less than stellar achievements as an asset, the CIA rewarded him for his service by helping him obtain entry and citizenship in the United States. In his essay from the IWG-sponsored anthology U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis, University of Virginia Professor and IWG historian Timothy Naftali details Bolschwing's panic after discovering that Eichmann had been captured by the Israelis. Naftali notes that he went so far as to contact one of his former CIA handlers:

The retired U.S. intelligence officer, who had only a superficial knowledge of Bolschwing's actual career in the SS, could not understand his former employee's anxiety-it was inconceivable that the Israelis would try to snatch Bolschwing on U.S. soil-and so he turned to an acquaintance in the CIA's Counterintelligence Staff to learn more about him. Once Bolschwing's former case officer saw the captured German records found in the torpedo factory, he was shaken, saying that neither he nor others had known about Bolschwing's past, and asserting that 'we would not have used him at that time had we known about it.' Some of what this intelligence officer did not remember knowing had been known by others in the CIA from the moment Bolschwing was hired. (Note 3)

The 289-document name file on Eichmann was compiled by the CIA in response to the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. It is one of 788 name and subject files released to the Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group (IWG). The CIA name and subject files total close to 60,000 pages, all of which are available to the public at the National Archives and Record Administration at College Park, Maryland. For a full list of names files and their release dates, please refer to this chart compiled by IWG staff. The names files are unique because they contain post-war operational files from the CIA which are normally exempt from review under the FOIA. (The National Security Archive has previously posted names files on Reinhard Gehlen and Adolf Hitler.)

This posting comes in the wake of the CIA's decision to reassess its disclosure policy under the Nazi War Crimes act, and review additional documents sought by the IWG. (Note 4) The CIA originally resisted efforts to broaden its narrow interpretation of the act, but after a public outcry in late January (Note 5), they reversed their decision. Richard Ben-Veniste, another public member of the IWG, discussed the problems of CIA declassification during his testimony before the Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations Committee on Government Reform of the U.S. House of Representatives on March 2, 2005:

As one of three non-government members of the IWG appointed by Clinton, I have had direct experience with the difficulties of getting public release of records stamped "secret." So far, over 8 million pages of previously classified documents have been released. National security has not been jeopardized. Yet, but for the Act, these records would still be secret. Recently, despite the fact that relevant records are in some cases more than 50 years old, the CIA balked at full compliance, causing a delay of more than a year in the IWG's work. Finally, to break the impasse, the IWG had to seek Congressional intervention. The Act's authors, Sen. Mike DeWine and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, rejected the CIA's argument for withholding important documents in a meeting with IWG and CIA officials. Ultimately, the CIA abandoned its opposition and has promised to comply.

In a February interview with the New York Times, Elizabeth Holtzman, one of the public members of the IWG, said of the CIA's reversal:

This is great news. The C.I.A. will now follow the rule of law, and the disclosure will be crucial to the American public. I am very pleased.

The IWG was established in January 11, 1999 and has overseen the declassification of about eight million pages of documents from multiple government agencies. Its original mandate was to expire at the end of March 2005, but on March 14, 2005, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to extend the deadline until March 2007 (a recommendation already passed by the Senate on February 16, 2005.) The IWG is interested in obtaining further information on any war criminals or suspected war criminals, especially those with whom the CIA had relationships, including information on the nature of the relationship and what the individual did for the agency. The nature of the new requests for information come from leads found in documents already released by the CIA and other agencies, as well as research done by the IWG historians.

The documents annexed in the CIA names file posted today by the Archive span from the time of the war to the mid 1990s, and include both captured German documents and documents from various U.S. government agencies. As with all the CIA names and subject files, only copies of the documents were released to NARA, not the original documents. The names and subject files are artificial creations made by the CIA for the purpose of obeying the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, while disguising how the CIA organizes its own files. For a more detailed description of the Names Files and the history of their compilation refer to this notice.

Some of the highlights from the CIA name file on Eichmann include:

May 24 and 26, 1960 documents revealing CIA surprise at the capture of Eichmann, requesting more details from an Israeli counterpart on the operation, and offering help in supplying captured Nazi war documents (Documents 48 and 49, Vol 1) and a later June 15, 1960 document detailing efforts to locate relevant material in the "five-miles" of captured documents (Doc 13, Vol 2)
Documents detailing the capture of Eichmann by Israel, including specifics on how the Israeli agents determined and verified Eichmann's identity. This included staking out his house in Argentina on the day that would have been his 25th anniversary, and observing him returning home with flowers and celebrating the date with his wife. He had remarried his original wife under an assumed name, and the agents surmised that that the wife would not be celebrating the original date she married Eichmann, unless it was Eichmann. Another document claims the Israelis also brought in a man who had worked on a kibbutz with Eichmann, who identified him and also engaged Eichmann in a conversation. In the conversation, the man intentionally made several minor mistakes about their past meetings, and Eichmann corrected every one. (Documents 62 and 66 Vol 1, Documents 85 and 108 Vol 2)
Attempts by the CIA in the wake of Eichmann's capture to gather more information on names connected to Eichmann (Document 7 Vol 2). One CIA memo reveals the fear that incriminating information on such individuals - including Franz Alfred Six (an SS Lt. Col and Eichman's boss from 1936-39, and a section leader in the post-war Gehlen intelligence organization - would make them vulnerable to Soviet recruitment (Document 23 Vol 2).
An August 24, 1962 walk-in of a man claiming to be Eichmann's son, who offered to help capture Josef Mengele in exchange for a changed identity (Document 72 Vol 3).
The National Security Archive is one of the most active non-profit FOIA requesters and won the prestigious George Polk Award in April 2000 for "piercing self-serving veils of government secrecy."

He had remarried his original wife under an assumed name, and the agents surmised that that the wife would not be celebrating the original date she married Eichmann, unless it was Eichmann. Another document claims the Israelis also brought in a man who had worked on a kibbutz with Eichmann, who identified him and also engaged Eichmann in a conversation. In the conversation, the man intentionally made several minor mistakes about their past meetings, and Eichmann corrected every one. (Documents 62 and 66 Vol 1, Documents 85 and 108 Vol 2)
Attempts by the CIA in the wake of Eichmann's capture to gather more information on names connected to Eichmann (Document 7 Vol 2). One CIA memo reveals the fear that incriminating information on such individuals - including Franz Alfred Six (an SS Lt. Col and Eichman's boss from 1936-39, and a section leader in the post-war Gehlen intelligence organization - would make them vulnerable to Soviet recruitment (Document 23 Vol 2).
An August 24, 1962 walk-in of a man claiming to be Eichmann's son, who offered to help capture Josef Mengele in exchange for a changed identity (Document 72 Vol 3).
The National Security Archive is one of the most active non-profit FOIA requesters and won the prestigious George Polk Award in April 2000 for "piercing self-serving veils of government secrecy."
