EDITORS OF LIFE PRESENT A MAJOR HISTORICAL
DOCUMENT
EICHMANN
TELLS HIS OWN DAMNING STORY
On the following pages LIFE begins its exclusive publication of the confession of Adolf
Eichmann, the Nazi who engineered the murder of millions of Jews – and now awaits trial for his crime in Israel

[1960] when, in a dramatic cloak and dagger operation, …
” WHETHER or not one
chooses to believe this exquisite timing or that
it is real, read the material on this link. Note
that he recorded for hours at a time according

David Irving replies:
1. I obtained 500 pages approx of the transcripts of the tapes and other
Eichmann manuscripts from a stranger in Buenos Aires in October
1991.
2. His son Herr Dieter
Eichmann [address: Postfach 5032, 7750
Konstanz 12, Germany] sold all his sets of the tapes and transcripts to “Weltwoche” magazine in
Zürich in August 1993.
3. Has anybody a complete set of the Time articles that we can post?
