EICHMANN ADOLF: (1906-1962) German Nazi SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer of World War II. Rare autograph manuscript signed `Adolf Eichmann´, one page, oblong 8vo sheet notepaper, n.p., 10th March 1961, in German. The page bears a lengthy text in Eichmann's hand, explaining his own thoughts short before the start of his trial, stating in part `Too far without being aware of, they are molded and bent, so that you´d hardly expected, got in the hell of a mess and that before becoming aware, did not succeed to leave, so simple because events occur, and exclude own free will acting´. About VG £5000-8000 Eichmann was kidnapped-captured by the Mossad in Argentina on 11th May 1960 and was taken to Israel. At the time of the present letter, Eichmann was imprisoned in Israel. Written only a month before Eichmann´s trial started on 11th April 1961. He was subsequently found guilty of war crimes in a widely publicised trial in Jerusalem. Sentenced to death, Eichmann was executed by hanging in 1962.
