i think we can all agree, the world needs ALOT more wierd al. not music, but just him in comedy in general. the small bits he had on tim and eric were awesome, and i LOVED UHF. considering how you can have your own channel now with twitch and youtube, i think a sequel to UHF would make sense and be fucking amazing.
the video failed to mention that Israel essentially abolished capital punishment in the '50s, so the decision to execute Eichmann was rather controversial. all other Nazis captured by Israel after Eichmann received life sentences, and Eichmann was the last person to receive the death penalty in Israel.
@@bruck2723 there were a lot of german villages in argentina, brazil and chile because of massive european immigration at the start of the 20th century (and during the first and second world wars), so for a lot of Nazis it meant moving to a place that was familiar (there were a lot of towns with mostly German immigrants who spoke German and continued German traditions) but in a country that they could easily hide in
Actually, Eichmann's son's father-in-law didn't call the Mossad. He wrote a letter to Fritz Bauer, Attorney General in Frankfurt. Bauer was tracking down Nazi war criminals as well and wanted Eichmann in front of a German court. But the newly founded German intelligence agency was pretty much run by former Nazis back then, so they did everything to keep Bauer from finding there former comrades. Knowing that his own colleagues would warn Eichmann, if he pursued him himself, Bauer turned to the Mossad and gave them the information from the man who's daughter dated Eichmanns son.
Such a missed opportunity! That would have made for an excellent scene with Jack McBrayer playing Fritz Bauer. Can you picture it? He is in an office and gets a telegram and reads it, and says, “Oh shit! I think we found Eichmann!” Then he picks up the phone, but turns to the doorway behind him and his colleagues are there staring at him. One of them was laughing making a Hitler salute, but when they see Bauer looking at them they stop acting like Nazis. One of them even puts his hand over his lip to hide his Hitler mustache. Then Bauer says, “No. I can’t trust these guys.” So cut to a scene where he’s meeting with the Mossad and handing them papers, saying, “This is where Eichmann is. He’s in Argentina.” And Anthony Hale says, “Hell Yeah.” And we get to see Buster Bluth and Kenneth the page in the same scene together. :’( It’s beautiful, man. Beautiful. The real history that wasn’t told with the history that never was.
Rachel - Argentina was really bad at extraditing nazis, I don't know why but they were. Argentinians - Cause Peron was literally a nazi and he arranged to hide all those guys here... And everyone was like "meh."
Sogard well what's just incredibly rude Internet stranger. Ha, yeah, Jeremy Clarkson thought he was really fucking clever with those plates, fat piece of shit.
Ummm, I don't know the history of this or that guy but I'm pretty sure his name would be spelled Perron with two Rs Because that's how say it's in Spanish Just wanted to point that out :p
THIS IS MY DRUNK HISTORY TOPIC!!! But seriously, I studied the history of Intelligence Agencies at university and we did a whole seminar on the Eichmann Abduction where we were all assigned roles in the Israeli government to make the decision and I got to be Isser Harel and the night before we were all in a bar and totally wasted and explaining our seminar to a friend of ours.
Did you just write Fritz Bauer out of the story? I know she's drunk, but a gay German social-democratic prosecutor put his job and reputation on the line to catch Eichmann, working against everyone in his government. And that's pretty badass as well.
What does his sexual orientation or political affiliation have to do with anything. Let his actions merit reward then if you want to study the man and you can relate to him as a gay social-democrat even better.
@@sjgrnberg I think it this time period it mattered, because at that time Germany had a conservative government, many Nazis were still held in high positions, being gay was forbidden and persecuted and also he was Jewish as well, survived the holocaust in exile and came back to help make Germany a better place and bring some of the highest Nazis to justice. At that time period not many people were really interested in that and he had a very hard time. Nevertheless he helped catch eichmann and also initiated the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials. So in that context his sexual orientation, his religion and his political believes are important and make what he achieved even greater because he had to struggle so much to achieve that and had so much opposition. He really is someone that shouldn't be forgotten.
sj Grnberg because in this specific situation they mattered. They make him even more badass because he was everything Germany at the time hated. That’s why that must be included. It’s an important detail
Eichmann was such a 'creature of habit' that he made it almost easy for them to kidnap him. He would ride the same bus into town and back at the precise same time daily, would walk the very same route... the Mossad observed this for a while and made their move.
@@junkersintutus4282 I know this is an old comment but she plays "Rebecca." In Crazy Ex Girlfriend. It's not the best show in the world but if you like vulgar stuff and want a good laugh I'd reccomend it. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're into it, and you like her, go for it.

Whole story told without Fritz Bauer. He played a major role in this process, without him, the Mossad would not have gotten the information. You are showing the Mossad in a better picture than it was
Bloom is effin adorable. Her dog is too. I love the clip of her laying down w her dog licking herself like on Rachel's head. It's like my life, but less sad and more informative
Lou Leone She was my ex-girlfriend, too. Getting her tipsy was the only way I could escape, pull the prepared suitcase out from under the bed, and change my name, and skip town.
I watched the movie Operation Finale (via Netflix) about this story - they took liberties of course, but it was a good, moving movie regardless. Ben Kingsley turns in a powerful performance as Eichmann - which is hilarious to me since the first role I saw him in was Itzhak Stern in Schindler's List, the Polish-German Holocaust survivor who assisted Oskar Schindler in his rescue activities!
My great grandfather was one of those men who tracked down the nazis running the holocaust camps. He was supposed to be on the first fleet on D-Day, but they found out he was from germany and spoke german (duh) and had him interview holocaust survivors to find the bastards who did thos to his own people.
@@Eleiris still, the fact that you said "fascist" suggests that said government is also friendly/not hostile to Nazis. Especially since you said Person was deposed in 1955. Nazis running away from Germany would have entered the country since immediately after Germany's surrender in 1945.
Yes Peron was a fascist and like the nazis. But peron was far from gone when they did this against Eichman. As an argie, I think we literally dont give any fuck about the whole nazi issue (after peron of course), is clearly not because of racism, because at the same time we have one of the largest jews communities in the world. In this particular case, the Mossad never speak with argentinian authorities (we werent searching nothing thou) and thats it, they decided to act alone and thats why they bothered with that operation so secretively. It makes sense, under Israel point of view, you cant just communicate something that important to someone you dont know their intentions and you are not allies, the same way, theyll never let germany hang him.
@@Eleiris Como les lavan la cabeza a los peronistas. No saben ni que es ideologicamente Peron y defienden cosas que lo contradicen a su "lider". Desde el vamos, le dicen fachos a otros, siendo el peronismo una variante del fascismo.
I'm pretty sure "pasty and white" describe most argentinian and German men off a certain age so maybe that characteristic is not what tipped them off. Then again this is drunk history and lord knows they're all about accurate details
The most important thing about the trail was that holocaust survivers that used to be ashamed of themeselves and even mocked by society came in dousands to give testemonies about the horrors they went through-after that Israel started educating and remembering the holocaust way more than we used to before
Weird Al Yankovic deserves an academy award for his portrayal of Adolph Eichmann. Ben Kingsley’s doesn’t even hold a candle
As much as I love Kingsley, I have to agree.
I can't see Weird Al in a negative way, even if he's playing an evil historic figure lol.
That was weird al? I thought that was Christoph Waltz!
i think we can all agree, the world needs ALOT more wierd al. not music, but just him in comedy in general. the small bits he had on tim and eric were awesome, and i LOVED UHF. considering how you can have your own channel now with twitch and youtube, i think a sequel to UHF would make sense and be fucking amazing.
Weird Al is awesome! I had to pause so I could laugh then give it the attention it deserved! lol
I was reading about Eichmann in Israel and now I will forever portray him as Weird Al. He broke history for me.
grindcoremaniac was it bad that I rooted for weird al

"it's weird telling a story about Nazi's when I'm so comfortable" hahaha same for listening to one
Literally in the same position as she is while watching this.
Well hey, we fought a war so we could be in the position. Fuck yes I'm getting cosy, screw the nazis!
I like how they had the one black person in the Mossad. I’m Ethiopian Jewish decent so I appreciate this. It’s the little details.

Yup, an exception was made for him.
Also he was the only
Prolly cuz she was drunk
Except for all the Palestinians Israel kills on the daily but yeah it's not execution it's just murder.
Also, it was a violation of international law.
Eichmann nearly got away with his Argentinian disguise, but he had a momentary lapse of judgement and burst into _Polka Face,_ blowing his cover
What was it about Argentina that it attracted so many Nazis?

I know, but it's history nonetheless, and all the other facts are pretty much on point. Furthermore, Fritz Bauer is sort of a personal hero of mine.
to be fair, she was drunk, but thank you for the accurate story, good to know :)
Nice to know wut really happened i actually wonder wut rlly happened when watching drunk history

Soriki argentinean here, peron is spelled with one r
shut up how the fuck did i not know this, my friends group chat was called "viva peron" it was already ironic but i feel like shit now
