From the Jan. 10, 2011, Independent.
There are now reports that West Germany knew that Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman was hiding in South America in 1952, but said nothing about it. Eichman had been responsible for the trains that carried Jews and others to the concentration camps.
He had fled to Argentina before being captured in 1960 by Israel living under the alias Ricardo Clement. He was tried and executed in 1962.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
