Operation Eichmann (film)

Operation Eichmann is a 1961 American crime film directed by R. G. Springsteen, with Werner Klemperer in the title role.

It is a highly fictionalized account of the life of the war criminal Adolf Eichmann, from his career as a member of the SS and an architect of the Holocaust to his kidnap in Argentina by the Mossad.

After orchestrating the "Final Solution to the Jewish problem", when Germany is defeated at the end of WWII, Adolph Eichman utilizes underground networks and escapes to South America.

[3] Herb Kelly of The Miami News was disappointed with the movie's shallow nature, specifically its failure to provide any substantial characterization of the evil people it depicted.
