Perhaps the greatest scalp claimed by the Nazi hunters was one of the chief architects of Hitlers Final Solution - Adolf Eichmann. After the war, Eichmann disappeared without a trace. But from the start, Nazi hunters were on his heels. In 1960, after receiving a tip from a local, an Israeli Special Operations unit determined that Eichmann was living in Argentina. With unorthodox, even illegal methods, agents like Rafi Eitan and Zvi Aharoni ran a covert campaign that culminated in a dramatic operation to kidnap Eichmann and smuggle him back to Israel where he was tried and finally hanged in 1962.
