The Eichman Files - Classified Documents Could Be Released After 50 Years

Fifty years after Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann's arrest by the Israeli Mossad in Argentina, basic details about his 15 years as a fugitive remain a government secret. The files kept by Germany's foreign intelligence agency, the BND, remain classified today - allegedly for reasons of national security. A German journalist is now suing in a federal court for the release of the files.

Fifty years have passed since Adolf Eichmann's arrest, but the German foreign intelligence agency, the BND, is still hoping to prevent the release of files detailing his post-war movements. A Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig is currently examining almost 4,500 pages of secret documents on Eichmann, a leading architect of Hitler's plans to murder Europe's Jews. The court is soon expected to rule whether the BND's justifications for concealing the files are still applicable and in line with the country's freedom of information laws.

The court is using closed "in camera" proceedings in which the three judges considering the case are the only people with access to the files.

"What's especially interesting is the sheer amount of paperwork that the government is concealing," says lawyer Remo Clinger, whose law firm Geulen & Klinger is representing German journalist Gabriele Weber in her case before the Leipzig court.

1. I hope that they get released..no excuse 50 years later to keep them hidden..

..and I would be VERY interested to see exactly how much help the Vatican gave the nazis..

[Octafish]

2. German govt doesn't want Odessa exposed.

That'd be especially bad for a group of Americans, a very wealthy group.

[conscious evolution]

4. Odessa?

[Octafish]

24. One of the Ratlines -- helped SS officers escape Justice.

ODESSA, Die Spinne, Kamradenwerk, Der Bruederschaft.... The SS were among the most loyal and vile of Hitler's henchmen.

[HeresyLives]

3. And guess which church was involved in his escape?

[rug]

5. Stop bashing Lutherans.

[HeresyLives]

6. LOL yeah, riiiiiight.

[rug]

7. Seriously, Bishop Hudal, who organized this particular ratline, was on the outs with the Vatican.

He was a Nazi sui generis.

[HeresyLives]

8. The Vatican was hand-in-glove with the Nazis.

Lots of photos showing RC church leaders doing the sieg heil...they married leading Nazi officials...Hitler praised the church and said he was devout.

[rug]

9. Not quite.

I assume you're referring to those usual smiling pictures of German bishops with Nazi officials.

Hitler tried to use the Church like every leader since Constantine. A lot of powerful prelates went along, but not most.

The strongest damnation of the Church in that era is not that it worked hand in glove but that it did not resist.

[HeresyLives]

10. Hitler was a devout RC.

He said so repeatedly in Mein Kampf, and he remained that way in office.

The church...which always blamed the Jews for the death of Jesus...backed him all the way.

[rug]

11. Oh really? I guess he must have missed Mass while planning Belsen-Belsen.

[HeresyLives]

12. Sorry...hand-in-glove

[rug]

13. Sorry . . . sloppy history.

[HeresyLives]

14. No, sloppy religious beliefs.

[rug]

15. Lol. So abetting Nazis is a tenet of faith?

[HeresyLives]

16. Backing RCs and being anti-Jewish is.

And Hitler was both...a marriage made in heaven.

[rug]

17. I thought you said the RCC backed Hitler, not vice versa.

[HeresyLives]

18. They backed each other, and I made that clear.

So stop trying to be cute about it.

[rug]

19. History doesn't.

[HeresyLives]

20. History does, faith doesn't.

But that's your problem

[rug]

22. Facts are immune to faith. you don't have them straight.

[HeresyLives]

23. Facts are just now coming out.

So put the faith on hold.
