Adolf Eichmann

From Apr 1, 1932, Eichmann became a member of the Austrian NSDAP, in the same year member of the SS.

In July 1933 he went to Bavaria in July 1933, where, as a member of the Austrian Legion, he first completed a fourteen -month paramilitary training at the SS in Klosterlechfeld and later in Dachau. Here he volunteered for the Security Service (SD) of the SS to Berlin in October 1934.

First he worked there as a assistant in the SD department II 111, which was responsible, among other things, to build a so-called Freemason carte. In June 1935, Eichmann was transferred to the newly created department II 112 (Jews), in which he headed the presentation (Zionist).

In 1941 Höß was visited by Adolf Eichmann from the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) in Auschwitz.

The latter named approximate numbers of the transports (after Auschwitz-Birkenau) and made it clear that only "gas" would be considered to destroy, since the expected masses by shooting could not be eliminated. For the rest, this is too much a burden for the SS men because of the women and children-says Eichmann.

From 1927 to spring 1933, Eichmann was a representative for the state of Upper Austria at Vacuum Oil Company AG, a subsidiary of Standard Oil.

As the managing director of the Reichszentrale for Jewish emigration in Berlin from 1939 and as head of unit for "Jewish matters" in the Reich Security Captain in Berlin ("Eichmannreferat") from 1940, he was dealing with the planning and implementation of the systematic persecution of Jews in the Third Reich, from Aryization and Expulsion ("Forced emigration") about plans for mass relocation (1939 Nisko-Plan, 1940 Madagascarplan) up to the scheduled deportations and the murder in concentration and extermination camps all over Europe.

In 1954 Hermann's 12-year-old daughter Silvia happened to meet in the York district cinema for Eichmann's eldest son Klaus, who was 17 years old at that time. The circumstances under which Silvia or Lothar Hermann took the suspicion, Klaus was the son of Adolf Eichmann, are described differently in various sources. In 1954 Hermann first passed his assumptions to the Jewish community in Buenos Aires and then the Daia (Delegacion de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas), the Jewish political umbrella organization in Argentina, which did not react to it. At the latest in 1957, Hermann continued his information to the German prosecutor Fritz Bauer and also to Tuviah Friedman, who tried to determine Nazi criminals from Israel, but was massively hindered by the Israeli authorities when he continued to contact Hermann. Fritz Bauer, who worked as a Attorney General in Hesse at the time, passed this information on a secret path to the Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad.
