Eichmann was probably sitting there thinking, '20 years ago I was sending them to their deaths, now they have their own government and are putting me on trial.' That had to be a crazy moment for him.
It was never about race it's always been about the ideology Judaism forces onto the world oh and chopping skin off a penis at birth for no medical reason just fairytale lies. You people are crazy leave me out. You're skin color is irrelevant aka race it's you man made fairytales you force unto the world that makes you repulsive
Yes indeed they had their own government. But thousands of innocent Palestinians lost their lands, their homes, their identities and all their possessions for the Zionist Jews to have that so called government.
Yes this is the first time I have seen it ! It is much better than I thought it would be . Exposing the Sondercommandos was explained as a very very touchy subject as can be expected
That testimony on 44 minutes... it will stay with me always. As the documentary explains elsewhere, moments like that, underlines why hearing from the witnesses was so important for the world to hear, for young Israelis to hear, finally for "I was just following orders" Eichmann to hear.
& now who is causing this same suffering to other people just as they accused Eichman .. once again, the oppressed have become the oppressors and are behaving in the same manner. Will they also be held to account the same as Eichman? As I watch the IDF dance & sing, rejoicing at their deeds .... I hope so ...
Yes I agree, I think it was well worth it to kidnap him and put him on trial and also to televise it, we have it documented forever now, its strange 60 years later now Israel's Prime Minister has been indicted for war crimes/genocide himself, if that trial goes ahead I hope we get to see it, I think the International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court would allow it to be fimed, the Serbian President Milosavic's did a similar type genocide and that was shown.
Israeli court had no jurisdiction for crimes did before Israel even existed, and no Israeli citizens killed. And now Israel resists international law liability when its brought for its crimes against Palestinians.
I think the interesting thing is to observe how anyone of us can end up in that situation. As a human being, you are always under the influense of your surroundings. The case of Adolf Eichmann reminds us of the importance of individual thought, responsibility and distrust of authority.
The gratification this man received and his inclination to boast at the end, for achieving "half" (his) "goal" of complete extermination and genocide of the European Jewish people. He was able to quantify his reason for boasting, and as he described it, it took great personal meaning for him. As great personal meaning and significance to him that as he spoke about it, you might have been forgiven for imagining this man had not slaughtered his fellow man, but had in fact saved their lives. On trial he reduces this meaning and gratification to merely being forced into answering the inflexible oders of sworn duty ("orders are order's".). A man's bounden duty is not necessarily the duty of all. Answering it, yes. But when he is as familiarised with the horror and evil required to carry out those duties.and still boasts... "The utter banality of evil"
I always get in trouble for that, questioning authority. I call it critical thinking though lol. I am a Jew. But I can imagine if I wasn’t one and was a citizen living under Nazi rule back then, I doubt I’d thrive. I’m stubborn when it comes to my ideals. I’m not some hero, but I know I’d piss someone off in that situation. If there is no logic immediately available in something someone says or requests, question it. Because going against your own morality is destructive to your mind.
Not the distrust of authority but the acceptance of your own actions. The ability to accept responsibility instead of placing it somewhere else, like a god or an authority figure that is real. Distrust anyone that tells you not to trust something without evidence. Never trust anyone that tells you to accept any thing without evidence.

The trial was broadcast extensively on BBC TV in the United Kingdom each night. It made a very strong impression on me as a teenager. The fact he was so ordinary & docile seemed to make his crimes even worse - if its possible.

Hey ! You ain't seen nothing my friend. Read up on the vile attrocities enacted upon the Russians by the Bolsheviks. Or Joe Stalin 's collectivization plan in the 1930's where over thirty million Russians perished, mostly in Ukraine. Or the vile medical experiments on live Chinese prisoners in unit 731. Or the million plus tortured and then murdered in the Cambodian punishment camp called Tuoll Sleng. Or the rape torture and murder of countless thousands in the Chinese Capitol Nanking by the invading Japanese. Or the greatest killing field in human history. The disastrous second five year agricultural plan of Mau Zeedung, where the estimate of Chinese citizens who starved to death was equal to or more than the entire deaths in world war two. Approx. 55 to 60 million. There are lesser attrocities to mention like the killing of over one million Armenians by the Ottomans, and the million plus who starved to their collective deaths in Ireland during that country's potato famine years. A famine brought on by bad luck and poor planning by the Irish, but the English government which controlled that country at the time did "nothing " to help their subjects. Yes the world has seen many attrocities in it's time. But why we in the west only seem to recognize one "the Holocaust " is a tragic and embarrassing oversight.
God bless you, sean, for your reasoned, humanistic response. I'm so happy to see you are a loving father trying to raise an honorable, healthy child in these difficult times. The evil monsters of this world will find no foothold among us if we can create a solid base of love and respect for our fellow men and women. All the best to you, my friend. I applaud your determination to build a better world based on love.
I was amused when Eichmann claimed that he couldn't remember whether the method of murdering millions of people was discussed during the Wannsee Conference. Yeah right. It does seem that such a minor thing could be easily forgotten, right?
Fact is that the methods varied from one Camp to another. Not all Extermination camps used Zyklon B crystals. I believe Chelmno and Sobibor used Carbon Monoxide.
@@nemiw4429 I have often wondered how I would have been in as similar a situation as Eichmann was in. Would I have been as zealous to kill as Eichmann was. It is a profound question. I saw a story on 60 Minutes about who betrayed the Frank family in Amsterdam. It was revealed that it was a Jew who wanted to defend his family from the Nazis. He sacrificed the Franks to save his family. I cannot condemn this Jew for his decision. As far as Eichmann, I lost respect for his argument when it was revealed that he purposely disobeyed Himmler when ordered to stop the deportation of Hungarian Jews.

A brilliant documentary. The end where the gentleman described the mountain of ashes is something I’ll never forget. He was there and he saw a mountain of ashes made from the murders of hundreds of thousands of people. It’s just.. I have no words other than soul destroying. Only a coward says they were just following orders. I feel nothing but contempt towards that excuse.
Take comfort, that the trial is not even started for him and many thousands of other guilty. There are different levels of HELL (YES IT IS VERY REAL) They will face the ultimate judge without excuse, and be put in everlasting punishment without any parole! It will be just. God will not be mocked!
Stop it. You probably would have done the same. I see how people act today. You would have followed the orders if everyone else did. You are doing it now aren't you?
@dima ermolenko no some SS guards and officers ask to be transferred from the camp's because they didn't want anything to do with it. Some even went against order's and got knowingly shoot for treason. People have a choice no matter what. He enjoyed and like what he did even though up more extreme and evil way's to kill people. You must have sympathy for the Nazi or a Neonazi yourself.
It was clear to everyone that that gentleman who spoke about the planets was having a nervous breakdown and i had to get the tissues out long before he collapsed. I hope he made a complete recovery.

This entire documentary lacks credibility. The English narrator said that the Jews went on to fight the British and the Arabs. A complete lie ! The Zionist Jews used acts of terror to try and force the British out of the region so as to have the upper hand over the unarmed Palestinians. They formed terror gangs like the Irgun and the Lehi, then bombed the King David hotel in Jerusalem killing over one hundred British servicemen. They also threw bombs into British servicemen clubs throughout Jerusalem. As for fighting the Arabs. Well since the Brits had killed most of the fighting age men and deported the rest in the Arabuprisings, it left only women and young boys left for the Jews to mop up. That is why they were easily able to wipe out Arab villages one after the other, with little to no resistance. Please do your reading on this subject before swallowing up their lies.
He said 'not guilty' to all of the charges but was living under a fake name. Why live under a fake name if your innocent? What do u have to hide? 🤷🏻♀️
Nazis were criminals, but not the communists. Isn't that interesting??? Millions of people were tortured and killed by communists. How many communists have been tried and convicted after the collapse of communism??? ..........Not a single one!!!!........... Isn't that strange???
1) You better learn some history: check the Romanian communist dictator and the trials for war crimes against formal Yugoslav leaders 2) Russia and China (Vietnam etc) are still there, communism is not collapsed 3) Where in this documentary it's claimed communists are not criminals?
@@tatonemio6388 What the hell are you talking about??? You are terribly confused. Ceausescu was killed in a hurry when people revolted because they were worried that the Romanian security might liberate him and be back in power. The Serbian, (not communist Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia didn't exist anymore) was on trial for opposing the West not for communist crimes. There were no trials of communists in Russia whatsoever for communist crimes. The only communist that ever was on trial was the East German head of security, and he was not on trial for communist crimes, but because he was spying against USA. It does not say anything in the documentary that communists are not criminals, but my point is that ---Nazis were criminals, but not the communists------all over the world as a whole you zombie.
@@ravenalbj1137 Ceausescu was on a trial for genocide. You better do some research how Slobodan Milošević (a former Yugoslavian leader) ended up in a ICT trial... And now, what about Erich Honecker? ops you missed this, right? Now what bizarre excuse you will invent to deny this is a case of a communist on trial as communist leader. BTW And many other communists were in the same trial. Your point "Nazis were criminals, but not the communists" is a straw-man argument as nobody in this video, as you admitted, supported the opposite. You are simply trying to divert the attention from the Nazis (which it seems you like more than the communists). What do like so much about the Nazis it's a mystery, since they had no problem to sign a secret pact with the Soviets/Communists at the start of WWII. Well unless you deny even that.
@@tatonemio6388 I wrote a book titled "The Blue Communism" in which i reveal how communists disguised as liberals took over America. And the riots at present time prove I was, and am right. On top of it, I am a Romanian who escaped the communist Romania in 1971 and know about one thousand times more of what went in Eastern Europe than you do. You are a very typical to a Western zombie, who don't know anything of the real life, but like very much to stick your nose in everything. You are terribly confused about everything and mix things up, and typical to your kind, keep diverting the main line of the subject to different directions.
Whataboutism aside, Communists were tried and shot by their own regime! Beria and many people of his cliques were arrested and shot after Stalin’s death. Stalin himself purged many high-ranking officials from his own regime!
I am not a religious man. I was 2 years of age during this trial. As I came to learn what these monsters had done I was filled with rage. At 60 I still feel feel this way. People like that darkened the lives of people that had yet to be born.
Were you also enraged when Churchill bombed the city of Dresden and killed 500.000 innocent people in 3 days? Thats more deaths a day than the nazis themselves. Were you also filled with rage when the soviets killed 6.000.000 Ukranians? or the millions of political dissidents they sent to death camps? What about the 2.000.000 innocent german women they brutally raped during the occupation of Berlin? There were crimes committed by all sides and Germans were also victims of the war. Yet, you do not seem to care AT ALL for them. Your selective morality is crazy.
Eichmann was only "taking care" of the Jews, his office was "RSHA Referat IV B4 (RSHA Sub-Department IV-B4), tasked with overseeing Jewish affairs and evacuation.
@@janbadinski7126 The Population of Ukraine was 23.7 Million during WWII, so this isn't possible. 27 Million Soviet People died during the Second World War
Great to have these high crimes documented, I hope the International Criminal Court allow camera's for when Netanyahu stands trial also, I don't think U.S would allow him to be arrested though, they would possibly be implicated also.
They were trained, during 20 years of economic chaos, to do that. They were taught that human personality was biologically determined and that killing Germans who were senile, mentally ill or were born with physical defects, was useful not only to clean the 'race' but also to free up resources. This was Aktion T4 that killed around 400,000 Germans. Once you make a people agree to do that, to kill others is not that difficult. Mass murders and genocides happened before, after and will hapen in the future, unfortunately. The Germans of the 1930s were not different from us and we all are capable of doing those things and to refuse doing those things. The link below is part of an interview with an old lady who worked for a Democratic administration (Clinton) in the US. Decisions made by the US to include water purification tablets to be included in the sanctions against Iraq after 1991 led to the death of 500,000 Iraqis - most of them children and the elderly. Declassified documents show the US knew that would happen if they destroyed the electric grid of Iraq - action that would render sewage treatment plants inoperable and, therefore, would cause the water supply to be contaminated. To be fair, the old lady was not responsible for the sanctions - however ... well, let's let her speak: ua-cam.com/video/RM0uvgHKZe8/v-deo.html
Use the term NAZI adverse to Germans. You can't group them altogether as bad. There were many Germans who fought the oppressive Nazi regime and gave their lives to stop it. The "White Rose" movement led by Hans and Sophie Scholl; February 22, 1943, they were caught distributing Anti-Nazi leaflets and arrested. Together with their friend Christoph, they were executed four days later. Along with them there were many others including Hitler's own general staff that despised him and even attempted to kill him (Valkyrie).
As German civilians would say of the Nazi hierarchy, the perfect Aryan would be as "Blonde as Hitler,as slender as Goering,as blue eyed as Goebbels and as tall as Himmler".
I recall as a kid growing up outside of Detroit watching the Eichmann trial. Listening to the testimony of survivors was horrific. Hope he has enjoyed his first 60 years in hell.
There may be some people whose crimes are so horrific and so well documented that it doesn't really matter where they stand trial. A just and true punishment would be the same anywhere. What matters is that they do stand trial and that justice is meted out.
He got what he deserved but I n the end, it didn’t bring back the victims. Was it justice? Yes! Was it enough? No! I was born in America in 1943. As a baby, I heard about these atrocities as the family spoke about it in shock. I am neither Jewish nor German, but I can’t forget the impact it had on me. As soon as I could read books beyond fairytales, I sought out books about WW2 and the Holocaust. Every single day in my life, as my routine unfolds, I compare my day, my freedom, my comforts, my food to what it would be like as a prisoner in Auschwitz. I’ve been greatly affected by this.
It isn't enough. Especially when they get to live their lives into their 90s. It's like they already got to live out their lives. Probably spouting evil crap and trying to influence others
Do you also compare your freedom, your comforts with the six million innocent Palestinians who have to endure daily terror and humiliation from their Jewish captors ?
@@den264 aaaand again. Broken record. Yes, what Israeli state is doing is wrong. But there's also global warming.

You don't have to be a genius to figure out he believed in Nazi ideology. He wasn't just following orders. He believed in what he was doing. The Nazi's were psychopathic killers.
John Smith 1. I’m not a left winger or liberal, you don’t know my politics so don’t make assumptions. 2. Israel has invaded Palestinian lands and gentrified their territory, displacing many Palestinians over the course of 70 years. 3. Palestinians act aggressively towards Israeli soldiers because Israel bombs Palestinian civilians, i.e. men, women and children who are non-combatants.
I have watched "Operation Finale" that movie tells how he got caught in Argentina then brought to Israel, he hid there after the WW2, under new identity.
The Operation Finale movie is incorrect in several ways and they did a mistake in humanizing him, by for example making the Mossad agents laugh at Nazi jokes, or having Eichman saying l'chaim and toasting with one of the agents, or saying how sorry he was when being told a personal story etc. Nor did the agents have problems with their self-control, wanting to kill him, or to "string him up", or almost strangle him or almost stabbing him with a syringe etc. All that is just "Hollywood"...
Interesting, the bits of interviews with one of Eichmann’s interrogators, who says “When we became the authority he had to obey, he did everything we told him to do”. Eichmann’s conditioning by a brutal, authoritarian state influenced his behavior at his trial: he listened to some seating testimony without showing any reaction; when the verdict was read, Eichmann blushed with embarrassment when he realized that he’d failed to stand up.
This is not really true. The people who kidnapped Eichmann said yes he obeyed them. However, this was out of self-preservation and because of how he and his cohorts treated prisoners. His argument was that he was shaped by the state blah blah. But HE and people like him *shaped the state.* They of course were influenced by one another, but the whole banality of evil and just following orders defense of countless war criminals weren’t self-delusion so much as calculated lies. They spoke and wrote completely differently during the war and to others. The interrogators who had to spend months with him ended up with a different impression, though they still had questions about his subservience. Eichmann GAVE orders. He certainly tried to make sure he had lots of orders on record, in order to cover his tracks when necessary. But he defied orders numerous times, especially at the end of the war, in order to be more ruthless.
And also: he was indeed stony faced throughout the trial and expressed passion when it came to small things concerning himself, but this had nothing to do with trained manners and everything to do with being a narcissistic psychopath with no empathy for others.
It’s almost inconceivable to me to harm another human life, these monsters where able to industrialise mass slaughter with out even batting an eyelid, then go home to the wife and kids as if it was just another day at the office, this man got what he deserved, many did not pay for there crimes.
It is such an unbelievable thing. There is no single person who wouldn't say this was terrific and impossible to believe that such events took place in one of the most civilized countries ever existed. Yet many of those impressed by such barbaric actions, still have a guts to deny historical realities of other nation, ignorance of which led to the history repeating itself. Unbelievable.
People like you also deny what Stalin has done. 20.000.000 people killed brutally. 2.000.000 million german women raped in 3 days during the occupation of Berlin. People like you also like to idolize Churchill, a drunk who ordered the bombing of Dresde, 2 days before the war ended, for no apparent reason and killed 500.000 innocent german women, children and old folks.
I was a little boy growing up in Ohio when they captured Eichmann. I still remember the world headline news of his capture by Israel.............and then of his execution. Pretty much no one was surprised of his fate after being captured.
He was executed because he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He is the only person Israel has ever executed. By contrast, John Demjanjuk, the notorious "Ivan the Terrible" brutal concentration camp guard at Sobibor, and whose guilt was just about as clear, although of much smaller scope, was not found guilty of being Ivan the Terrible beyond a reasonable doubt. Since the charge was very specific, and could not be proven to that level of specificity, he was let go, sent back to the US, and I think eventually deported to Ukraine because he had lied about his wartime experiences on his citizenship application. So the US wound up being harder on him than Israel was. (He may not have actually been deported, because of his old age and failing health.)

Illegal as it can get and I would have to guess as to what was settled between the Argentinian government and the Israelis in order not to at least surrender the man to an international court. Although all of this is a spit to the sovereignty of the Argentinians country it was the first time that victims and witnesses were heard and I think that is powerful. Because if one story is apalling imagine millions of others who dies like animals. I do agree though that it was illegal and the same conclusion wouldve befallen Eichmann in a legal open international court and still achieve the impact of the testimony of the victims.
Who cares if is illegal! The world stood by as he managed the brutal murder of 6 and a half million Jews. Legal does not imply moral and morality won out.
@@heatherstephens9295 And I'm more than sympathetic to your point here but have to question this, I mean is it really OK for rendering citizens of one sovereign country to another whatever the reason?

The little half smirk probably not the best way to present yourself if your arguing for your life in front of people you put on a train towards their death and their families.
I wonder why he even bothered to attempt to defend himself. The moment he signed that bogus waiver in Argentina he was a dead man walking. This was a 1960,s lynching, nothing more nothing less.
You mourn the millions of Jews the Nazis executed just because they were Jews. Eichmann was one of their executioners, certainly important, but for me they are all equal as executioners and as criminals. I mourn the 2,856 Palestinian children killed by Israeli soldiers because these kids were throwing stones at them to tell them "you are occupying our land, you are behaving like executioners of our people and since we have no weapons to hunt you from our home, so we throw at you the stones that nature has left us as our only weapons " To say that the orders given to the soldiers in charge of this horrible job were given by the authorities right up to the top of the Israeli state. Judgment day may come, like Eichman's day, when the decision makers of these child murders will be seen by the whole world. I understand better now why the USA and Israel refuse to recognize the International Criminal Court. Because they have too much to fear. How many hundreds of thousands of dead have on the conscience of the American leaders after all the wars they have ordered and how many dead and wounded have on the conscience of the Israeli leaders who since 1967 have only ceased to oppress , to humiliate, torture and kill Palestinians who only want to live free in their lands without an occupying army to subjugate them.
@@lornadoon845 To this day Bill Clinton feels a sense of personal responsibility for the failure to intervene in Rwanda.

Somolian was a house warming present that the Bush administration had left for him during the lame duck period. It was also the right thing to do but it all happened very quickly. After Blackhawk Down Republican criticism was relentless and when the shit hit the fan in Rwanda he felt that under the circumstances the last thing Americans wanted were more troops deployed to conflict zones in Africa. ( After the Dayton Accords were singed Congressional Republicans tried to embarrass him by trying to severely limit American commitment to the peacekeeping troops for an agreement he had brokered but Clinton outsmarted them). Things in Rwanda happened so quickly with 800,000 people killed in just three weeks with machetes but still we could have saved lives and Bill Clinton knows that and that is why he has visited Rwanda a number of times . He remains a popular figure there to this day.

What else was there to do? He knew his death warrant was signed the moment he stepped foot on Israeli soil. He might as well try a hail mary in the court. At the very least, he prolonged his life for as long as the trial lasted.
It would have been amazing if someone was able to convince Eichmann to just come clean about the whole thing. For the sake of historical accuracy, to just own his and everyone else's part in the operation. To describe the language used, the ideas, the mood and his interactions from the beginning to the end. It would have been great to understand in succession how it all came to be.
He was a German lawyer who was not a Nazi but had defended Nazis at Nuremberg and was considered a good lawyer. The Israelis paid his fees and the Israeli parliament even passed a law that in this case, an non Israeli could practice law in Israel.
He did not like some of the Nazis he defended at Nuremberg. He was cold and aloof to people like Streicher but like any lawyer, he felt his job was to defend them as best he could. That is part of any lawyer's ethics.
@@odessafile75 Maximillian Schell played a fictitious character, named Hans Rolfe, while the real defense in Nürnberg was made of a team of eleven lawyers, chosen by the accused.

@@twinsonic One can already see the regional patterns of behaviour emerging from the tissue we refer to as civilization. Germans seem to have a tendency to turn into emotionless killing machines rather easily, far more so than neighbouring countries. Same goes for some of the asian nations. This may sound ridiculous at first but try to think about the nations as a whole and look at their history - you'll find how much they tend to repeat the same behavioural patterns again and again.. It's coded in our genes through the centuries. We're all different and we can all deviate from this "local norm" but fact is, each nation has this packet of tendencies engraved in your DNA - and its far more probable for a german to turn you into soap and a coat hanger than a spaniard or dutch person would. For all the atrocities german people did during last 100 years, I think they should be reminded of their blood soaked history very thoroughly, generation after generation. So that it's less probable they do it again. I dont know.. if I was german I'd be ashamed and would not be proud to be a part of this nation.

Rest In Peace to All of the Innocent Victims, and Those That Fought for Them.🥀🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ Prayers that The Survivors were able to find Peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔
Is anyone really innocent? We have all sinned. Thus no one is innocent. However, no one deserves to be treated like those 6 million Jews, 1 million Roma people, etc.
I would love to say rest in peace to all the innocent Palestinians who had their land taken from them by the Zionist Jews in 1946. But it would be out of place since over six million of them are still alive living inside the worlds largest outdoor prison. Why are the people in the west so concerned about the dead , when they can do so much for the living.

I've been to Auschwitz, while I was stationed in Germany as an Army guy, we travelled to many countries all over Europe, and that was a trip we made. It was haunting.
Whenever i see this (and other war criminals trials), i always think in the phrase "the banality of evil" and how easy is for a person with some kind of power in some circumstances to do horrible things
I just love how the Mossad, without absolutely no permission, took it upon themselves to go into South America and grab this monster and bring him to be held accountable. Too bad so many more criminals didn't ever face the music.
@Vince VictorWell that depends on if you consider U S elections democratic or the U K or Israel. Then there is true Democracy Venezuela voted heavily in favor of Maduro, so not sure how to answer your question. Who are the real Dictators.🤔
As Devil's advocate I have to ask, why the hell would Eichman sign an agreement to be tried in Israel? What can an agreement under such circumstances mean? Why does Argentina get away with harboring such men? There's been no real backlash.
+Unappreciated Treehouse: Because he was kidnapped by Mossad agents, the agreement was a sign that he accepted his fate. One more thing, the Argentinian government, having ties with the Nazis disapproved of any official extradition treaty of any Nazi from Argentina to Israel.
@@SupersweetguyMost would stipulate that such an agreement was made under duress. Even if it's a horrible criminal that is obviously guilty. If there are going to be trials and legal proceedings that actually have a point they cannot be just formalities. Argentina having no extradition treaties is not what I'm referring to. I'm mean public opinion. No one seems to blink an eye at Argentinas blatant indifference to the holocaust.
I'm pretty sure he realised that his choices are whether to go to the trial in israel or get shot in Argentina. Argentina was governed by a fascist sympathising dictator at the time.
They all followed orders, that's how it all worked. Their guilt was in accepting the orders, understanding what they entailed, and carrying them out. Also, even though the person who dreamed it all up wasn't involved in carrying it out, they're also guilty. I was only following orders is no defense.
Yea but if they (lower down soldiers etc) didn't follow orders them and their families would b thrown in a camp or killed outright as traitors so there's not much of a choice there. Most people will do anything to keep their family safe. Just saying it's not a simple concept in general and no true choice
They didn't just follow orders ( not that that is an excuse). They enthusiastically and creatively implemented their orders. They were happy to be doing it.
It's the shame those Russian cunts didn't watch this before invading Ukraine and doing the same. Or the American's in Vietnam.Thhe reality stares us all in the face, yet, the powers of 'politics' make these awful events reoccur.
Extraordinary document.........may the victims Rest In Peace , and the monsters be damned forever......I am a Catholic, but people from Israel are my brothers and sisters of heart.

Our neighbor, Sarah had a number on her wrist. Escaped Auschwitz in 1944.....to the UK, then to Boston. I ran errands for her. She served me tea in a glass, taught me some phrases in Yiddisch. Always smiled.
I can’t stop laughing at the triumph of how Israel got Eichmann out of Argentina and the audacity of Argentina to complain about it. In 99,9% of any possible case I would have been outraged that a trial would take place under such circumstances, because the rule of law must be followed, but there are certain extreme circumstances, and getting a top nazi out of a country that harbors hiding top nazis is one of those rare circumstances. I don’t care what they did to get him to sign that document. I don’t care that they kidnapped him to get him out of there. He never should have been allowed to leave Germany in 1945 in the first place. Non of them should have.
People were still sympathetic to Nazi idealism. They found ways out of Germany. Josef mengele lived out his life and they knew where he was the whole time. Argentina welcomed Nazis w open arms.
@@Lepocoloco there is no way Putin will allow himself to be taken alive, like Hitler there is only 2 ways this will end taking his own life or someone like CIA (unlikely) maybe one of his own people taking him out. His pride and hubris will never allow himself to be put on trial or held accountable because he believes that he is doing his job, going good for himself and people. Delusional but calculated man, he is not stupid though can read how far he can get away with things as they are going. It will hit the wall soon, he’s already losing the “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Yeah but sadly that just isnt true. Massacres against people will always continue. The germans killed many people the french killed many people the english killed many people and everyone else did too. No one is innocent and sadly this will continue in the future again because its still happening right now.... if we would just stop this then peace could be achieved. But peace without God and Jesus is impossible
Ladies and gents It look like most of the Nazi commanders defenses were that they were regular guys that had been convinced and brainwashed into de humanizing a race and following orders.

Just so whomever wrote the title for this excellent Documentary knows, in the English language the word "online" is a single word not two separate words when talking about the internet and its media. It is not "on line" as the title has it. You may want to correct this by eliminating the space between the two words. The correct wording should also be. "This Was Never Shown Online". With each first letter of each word capitalized as it is a title not a regular sentence. Thank you for posting this!
@@rickfellman91 I only watched the 1st 5 minutes of this documentary when I posted this. I want this title to be searchable so that EVERY human being can find it and watch this so it never happens again. If people can't find it then they can't see it. People MUST see it. This was my logic for the post. You have to forgive me but these sensitive topics do not allow me to get emotional as I study genocides and if I get emotionally involved I may go crazy from the horror of it all. If you notice in the testimony after @42:06 (the man with the white collar) the man is smiling as he recounts the horror. I have seen exact strange displays from actual SonderKommando who gave eye-witness testimony do the same thing. This smiling is a psychological sheltering of the mind because if one does not do it one would completely lose their mind or go insane at the horrors they encounter, retell or recount to others. This does not mean that I nor these men do not care (on the contrary) but in order to write or speak or be social in the world one must set such horrors in a mental compartmentalization fashion so one does not go start raving mad and start killing people from the sheer brutality of the inhumanity that person has witnessed nor experienced. I hope I was as clear as possible. If I had the power to smite each Nazi with a bolt of lightning where they stood I probably would do it in this hypothetical. I can only put pen to paper and hope this NEVER EVER EVER happens again. I let God Almighty handle these monsters as he deems fit.
Eichmann had actually studied both Hebrew and Yiddish to help him with his duties at the 4-B-4 unit of the SS. Netflix has an excellent movie about this trial called "The Eichmann Show." When he mentioned the officer rolling up his sleeve at 26:29, it sent chills up my spine.
The Argentinians, for the most part, are still unrepentant about aiding and abetting these criminals as well as obstructing justice. Which is another reason that I will continue to root against their national teams in FIFA matches.
It is not a matter of entitlement. Most importantly, the trial was what could be done and had to be done. It was a fulmination of the imagings of civilized people. Whereas, the Shoah was the result of of the nightmares of civilized people with no empathy.
@@elinatuulikkibecause of democracy. Every king or dictator or military elader would have executed him bit in a system were people have alot rights this is impossible do just do so
I remember when eichmann was caught and transported to israel. It was the day the survivors of the camps stopped hiding their tattoos. Up to that point, they had been ashamed for not having fought back. I met three survivors of the camps in my time: a Jewish lady, a widow, who lost her twelve year old daughter in the camps. She always greeted me with a piece of chocolate. A german non-jewish social democrat. A political prisoner, the first reuter correspondent to Jerusalem and the person integral to the establishment of diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel. The third person was a Catholic member of the polish underground, captured and tortured by the gestapo. She saved my life.
I send my prayers 🙏 to the six millions innocents who died under the Hitlers brutality regime .. as a Moroccan man I don’t know why when I hear Germany 🇩🇪 I think right the way about Nazis ,, it’s a shame stick to them for ever ,, and to those who’ve suffered and died RIP 🌹.
That's not at all okay, to identify modern Germany to the Nazi regime. If Nazi Germany is the only thing you think about when hearing of talking about German people, you have real issues that should be adressed with a professional
I guarantee 90% of the people watching this would of done the same thing as him, don’t follow Orders get killed either way but yea he certainly is evil
My father was a Jewish engineer at the time of this trial, working along side German pow scientists at NACA Langley Field Virginia. He said he would've like to have defended Eichman as a lawyer using your argument. He befriended those that he was working with and picked their brains as they were some if the world's most brilliant scientists at the time. He even invited Adolf Busemann to our Jewish household for dinner. He said when the door was closed, all the hate was outside.
@user-ey5om1td2q I agree with you they where total cowards I’m just saying it’s all well and good saying this today but back then I’m pretty sure you as well as me or whoever else would of chose to fight for there country no matter how evil they where. Trust me glad they where destroyed especially after the terrible disgusting mass murder of innocents but I’m sure not all Germans where that way inclined or would you not agree?
@@matthewbryant958 there is massive corruption in the USA due to wanton careerism. No one wants to stand up for what is right and then lose their "precious little careers" like Snowden, Asange, Manning did. Eichman was doing his job as best as he could so that he would be a good little German. The very same thing could happen here or in Israel even. Where are the Israeli people standing up against the horrible conditions of the Palestinians? Show us how to make peace with your enemies. It can be done, but not with force. I've had a plan for over 20 years for bringing peace to the Israeli Palestinian situation. I'd love to tell you about it, but not in UA-cam comment section.
The Nazi's had such a stranglehold of their entire society that even people listening in to the BBC world news service were deported to the work camps along with their entire family. The chopping block mentally of the third Reich was so terrifying that if you disobey orders from a superior you were shot. How many brave men and women of conscience in the IDF have stepped forward and refused to shoot innocent Palestinians when ordered by a superior ! Not many , if any at all.
So you claim nazi chain of command is a series of tragic, unfortunate victims of nazi regime? Hahaha.. they were career party man, ambitious, actively seeking more and more power. Noone pushed them to the chain of command. And when held for the tribunal, they all lied and denied their roles in the evil they caused. Stop saying nonsense. I dont know what you'd do but I most definitely would NOT seek a career in nazi military. They knew what they are getting into..
Despite NO SUCH A THING AS A FAIR TRIAL , here they let Eichmann talk and defend himself! He is very calm and talks well! He probably thinks he will let go free or receive a life sentence at worst!!
@@SilentStone13 yet you take the time to reply how uninterested you are. I bet you're 'that guy' who wears a stupid ass mask while driving with your windows up arent you?
Eichmann was probably sitting there thinking, '20 years ago I was sending them to their deaths, now they have their own government and are putting me on trial.' That had to be a crazy moment for him.
It was never about race it's always been about the ideology Judaism forces onto the world oh and chopping skin off a penis at birth for no medical reason just fairytale lies. You people are crazy leave me out. You're skin color is irrelevant aka race it's you man made fairytales you force unto the world that makes you repulsive
Running the media and all the worlds banks. Just like Germany said they would.
Yes indeed they had their own government. But thousands of innocent Palestinians lost their lands, their homes, their identities and all their possessions for the Zionist Jews to have that so called government.
The partizan stated about 40 thousand were killed. How did he know that precise figure ! A lot of lying going on here.
Oh dear ! What a pathetic piece of drama from the guy in the white suit. "I came from the planet Auschwitz " please give me a break.
I have been wanting to hear this testimony of Eichmann's for decades. Finally. Thank you.

That testimony on 44 minutes... it will stay with me always. As the documentary explains elsewhere, moments like that, underlines why hearing from the witnesses was so important for the world to hear, for young Israelis to hear, finally for "I was just following orders" Eichmann to hear.
Es culpable porque llevo a cabo los crimenes al extradictar judios a campo de exterminio 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
& now who is causing this same suffering to other people just as they accused Eichman .. once again, the oppressed have become the oppressors and are behaving in the same manner. Will they also be held to account the same as Eichman? As I watch the IDF dance & sing, rejoicing at their deeds .... I hope so ...
@@wendyfay16 gives power to man and reveals his true nature
Yes I agree, I think it was well worth it to kidnap him and put him on trial and also to televise it, we have it documented forever now, its strange 60 years later now Israel's Prime Minister has been indicted for war crimes/genocide himself, if that trial goes ahead I hope we get to see it, I think the International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court would allow it to be fimed, the Serbian President Milosavic's did a similar type genocide and that was shown.
Israeli court had no jurisdiction for crimes did before Israel even existed, and no Israeli citizens killed. And now Israel resists international law liability when its brought for its crimes against Palestinians.
I think the interesting thing is to observe how anyone of us can end up in that situation. As a human being, you are always under the influense of your surroundings. The case of Adolf Eichmann reminds us of the importance of individual thought, responsibility and distrust of authority.
Ĺ
The gratification this man received and his inclination to boast at the end, for achieving "half" (his) "goal" of complete extermination and genocide of the European Jewish people. He was able to quantify his reason for boasting, and as he described it, it took great personal meaning for him. As great personal meaning and significance to him that as he spoke about it, you might have been forgiven for imagining this man had not slaughtered his fellow man, but had in fact saved their lives.
On trial he reduces this meaning and gratification to merely being forced into answering the inflexible oders of sworn duty ("orders are order's".).
A man's bounden duty is not necessarily the duty of all. Answering it, yes.
But when he is as familiarised with the horror and evil required to carry out those duties.and still boasts... "The utter banality of evil"
@@NavigatorMother why they didn’t like the Jews , this is the question.
I always get in trouble for that, questioning authority. I call it critical thinking though lol. I am a Jew. But I can imagine if I wasn’t one and was a citizen living under Nazi rule back then, I doubt I’d thrive. I’m stubborn when it comes to my ideals. I’m not some hero, but I know I’d piss someone off in that situation. If there is no logic immediately available in something someone says or requests, question it. Because going against your own morality is destructive to your mind.
Not the distrust of authority but the acceptance of your own actions. The ability to accept responsibility instead of placing it somewhere else, like a god or an authority figure that is real.
Distrust anyone that tells you not to trust something without evidence. Never trust anyone that tells you to accept any thing without evidence.

Hey ! You ain't seen nothing my friend. Read up on the vile attrocities enacted upon the Russians by the Bolsheviks. Or Joe Stalin 's collectivization plan in the 1930's where over thirty million Russians perished, mostly in Ukraine. Or the vile medical experiments on live Chinese prisoners in unit 731. Or the million plus tortured and then murdered in the Cambodian punishment camp called Tuoll Sleng. Or the rape torture and murder of countless thousands in the Chinese Capitol Nanking by the invading Japanese. Or the greatest killing field in human history. The disastrous second five year agricultural plan of Mau Zeedung, where the estimate of Chinese citizens who starved to death was equal to or more than the entire deaths in world war two. Approx. 55 to 60 million. There are lesser attrocities to mention like the killing of over one million Armenians by the Ottomans, and the million plus who starved to their collective deaths in Ireland during that country's potato famine years. A famine brought on by bad luck and poor planning by the Irish, but the English government which controlled that country at the time did "nothing " to help their subjects. Yes the world has seen many attrocities in it's time. But why we in the west only seem to recognize one "the Holocaust " is a tragic and embarrassing oversight.
God bless you, sean, for your reasoned, humanistic response. I'm so happy to see you are a loving father trying to raise an honorable, healthy child in these difficult times.

I was amused when Eichmann claimed that he couldn't remember whether the method of murdering millions of people was discussed during the Wannsee Conference. Yeah right. It does seem that such a minor thing could be easily forgotten, right?

This entire documentary lacks credibility. The English narrator said that the Jews went on to fight the British and the Arabs. A complete lie ! The Zionist Jews used acts of terror to try and force the British out of the region so as to have the upper hand over the unarmed Palestinians. They formed terror gangs like the Irgun and the Lehi, then bombed the King David hotel in Jerusalem killing over one hundred British servicemen. They also threw bombs into British servicemen clubs throughout Jerusalem. As for fighting the Arabs. Well since the Brits had killed most of the fighting age men and deported the rest in the Arabuprisings, it left only women and young boys left for the Jews to mop up. That is why they were easily able to wipe out Arab villages one after the other, with little to no resistance. Please do your reading on this subject before swallowing up their lies.

On top of it, I am a Romanian who escaped the communist Romania in 1971 and know about one thousand times more of what went in Eastern Europe than you do. You are a very typical to a Western zombie, who don't know anything of the real life, but like very much to stick your nose in everything.
You are terribly confused about everything and mix things up, and typical to your kind, keep diverting the main line of the subject to different directions.
Whataboutism aside, Communists were tried and shot by their own regime! Beria and many people of his cliques were arrested and shot after Stalin’s death. Stalin himself purged many high-ranking officials from his own regime!
I am not a religious man. I was 2 years of age during this trial. As I came to learn what these monsters had done I was filled with rage. At 60 I still feel feel this way. People like that darkened the lives of people that had yet to be born.
Well said , and enlightening prospective 🙏👑 thank you
Agreed
U we’re lied too
Were you also enraged when Churchill bombed the city of Dresden and killed 500.000 innocent people in 3 days? Thats more deaths a day than the nazis themselves. Were you also filled with rage when the soviets killed 6.000.000 Ukranians? or the millions of political dissidents they sent to death camps? What about the 2.000.000 innocent german women they brutally raped during the occupation of Berlin? There were crimes committed by all sides and Germans were also victims of the war. Yet, you do not seem to care AT ALL for them. Your selective morality is crazy.
It wasn't just the Jews who were slaughtered. 5 million non Jews were murdered as well.

Great to have these high crimes documented, I hope the International Criminal Court allow camera's for when Netanyahu stands trial also, I don't think U.S would allow him to be arrested though, they would possibly be implicated also.
Impossible to comprehend the evil these Germans perpetuated.
They were trained, during 20 years of economic chaos, to do that. They were taught that human personality was biologically determined and that killing Germans who were senile, mentally ill or were born with physical defects, was useful not only to clean the 'race' but also to free up resources. This was Aktion T4 that killed around 400,000 Germans. Once you make a people agree to do that, to kill others is not that difficult.
Mass murders and genocides happened before, after and will hapen in the future, unfortunately. The Germans of the 1930s were not different from us and we all are capable of doing those things and to refuse doing those things. The link below is part of an interview with an old lady who worked for a Democratic administration (Clinton) in the US. Decisions made by the US to include water purification tablets to be included in the sanctions against Iraq after 1991 led to the death of 500,000 Iraqis - most of them children and the elderly. Declassified documents show the US knew that would happen if they destroyed the electric grid of Iraq - action that would render sewage treatment plants inoperable and, therefore, would cause the water supply to be contaminated. To be fair, the old lady was not responsible for the sanctions - however ... well, let's let her speak:

Use the term NAZI adverse to Germans. You can't group them altogether as bad. There were many Germans who fought the oppressive Nazi regime and gave their lives to stop it. The "White Rose" movement led by Hans and Sophie Scholl; February 22, 1943, they were caught distributing Anti-Nazi leaflets and arrested. Together with their friend Christoph, they were executed four days later. Along with them there were many others including Hitler's own general staff that despised him and even attempted to kill him (Valkyrie).

He got what he deserved but I n the end, it didn’t bring back the victims. Was it justice? Yes! Was it enough? No! I was born in America in 1943. As a baby, I heard about these atrocities as the family spoke about it in shock. I am neither Jewish nor German, but I can’t forget the impact it had on me. As soon as I could read books beyond fairytales, I sought out books about WW2 and the Holocaust. Every single day in my life, as my routine unfolds, I compare my day, my freedom, my comforts, my food to what it would be like as a prisoner in Auschwitz. I’ve been greatly affected by this.

I have watched "Operation Finale" that movie tells how he got caught in Argentina then brought to Israel, he hid there after the WW2, under new identity.
Other German officers also went to Argentina after the war such as josepf Mengele
@@orthofox9302 smuggled out by the catholic church with new identity.
The rat line.
The Operation Finale movie is incorrect in several ways and they did a mistake in humanizing him, by for example making the Mossad agents laugh at Nazi jokes, or having Eichman saying l'chaim and toasting with one of the agents, or saying how sorry he was when being told a personal story etc. Nor did the agents have problems with their self-control, wanting to kill him, or to "string him up", or almost strangle him or almost stabbing him with a syringe etc. All that is just "Hollywood"...
Its just sick and depressing, thankfully this piece of shit was caught, unlike Mengele
@@joe18425 it was called the spiderweb 🕸 or something like that in German as well.
Interesting, the bits of interviews with one of Eichmann’s interrogators, who says “When we became the authority he had to obey, he did everything we told him to do”. Eichmann’s conditioning by a brutal, authoritarian state influenced his behavior at his trial: he listened to some seating testimony without showing any reaction; when the verdict was read, Eichmann blushed with embarrassment when he realized that he’d failed to stand up.
This is not really true. The people who kidnapped Eichmann said yes he obeyed them. However, this was out of self-preservation and because of how he and his cohorts treated prisoners. His argument was that he was shaped by the state blah blah. But HE and people like him *shaped the state.* They of course were influenced by one another, but the whole banality of evil and just following orders defense of countless war criminals weren’t self-delusion so much as calculated lies. They spoke and wrote completely differently during the war and to others.
The interrogators who had to spend months with him ended up with a different impression, though they still had questions about his subservience. Eichmann GAVE orders. He certainly tried to make sure he had lots of orders on record, in order to cover his tracks when necessary. But he defied orders numerous times, especially at the end of the war, in order to be more ruthless.
And also: he was indeed stony faced throughout the trial and expressed passion when it came to small things concerning himself, but this had nothing to do with trained manners and everything to do with being a narcissistic psychopath with no empathy for others.
It’s almost inconceivable to me to harm another human life, these monsters where able to industrialise mass slaughter with out even batting an eyelid, then go home to the wife and kids as if it was just another day at the office, this man got what he deserved, many did not pay for there crimes.
Agreed, I just wish we held all war criminals and dictators across the world as accountable as Eichmann. That would be great.
Agreed but I’d be hard pressed not to pummel a NAZI until my fists were covered in their cold blood. Graphic, I know but some things cannot stand.
Good documentary to show in all middle schools for lengthy discussions.
Thank You for sharing this! I so Appreciate it!
It is such an unbelievable thing. There is no single person who wouldn't say this was terrific and impossible to believe that such events took place in one of the most civilized countries ever existed. Yet many of those impressed by such barbaric actions, still have a guts to deny historical realities of other nation, ignorance of which led to the history repeating itself. Unbelievable.
It is unbelievable. I don't know how people can believe it.
People like you also deny what Stalin has done. 20.000.000 people killed brutally. 2.000.000 million german women raped in 3 days during the occupation of Berlin. People like you also like to idolize Churchill, a drunk who ordered the bombing of Dresde, 2 days before the war ended, for no apparent reason and killed 500.000 innocent german women, children and old folks.
I was a little boy growing up in Ohio when they captured Eichmann. I still remember the world headline news of his capture by Israel.............and then of his execution. Pretty much no one was surprised of his fate after being captured.
why???
Jupiter Yandje because it’s Israel 😂
@@booma3069 and what is it about Israel that makes it no surprise??
He was executed because he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He is the only person Israel has ever executed.
By contrast, John Demjanjuk, the notorious "Ivan the Terrible" brutal concentration camp guard at Sobibor, and whose guilt was just about as clear, although of much smaller scope, was not found guilty of being Ivan the Terrible beyond a reasonable doubt. Since the charge was very specific, and could not be proven to that level of specificity, he was let go, sent back to the US, and I think eventually deported to Ukraine because he had lied about his wartime experiences on his citizenship application. So the US wound up being harder on him than Israel was. (He may not have actually been deported, because of his old age and failing health.)

Illegal rendition and trial, enough said...
@@DaveSCameron That is also very true. Illegal as it can get and I would have to guess as to what was settled between the Argentinian government and the Israelis in order not to at least surrender the man to an international court. Although all of this is a spit to the sovereignty of the Argentinians country it was the first time that victims and witnesses were heard and I think that is powerful. Because if one story is apalling imagine millions of others who dies like animals. I do agree though that it was illegal and the same conclusion wouldve befallen Eichmann in a legal open international court and still achieve the impact of the testimony of the victims.
Who cares if is illegal! The world stood by as he managed the brutal murder of 6 and a half million Jews. Legal does not imply moral and morality won out.
@@DaveSCameron I know it’s not the right way for a civilised community to go about things but in light of what was carried out who cares?

Never forget how evil humans can be to each other. I'm not a historian but I was so enraged when we let it happen in Rwanda in the 90's.
You mourn the millions of Jews the Nazis executed just because they were Jews.
Eichmann was one of their executioners, certainly important, but for me they are all equal as executioners and as criminals.
I mourn the 2,856 Palestinian children killed by Israeli soldiers because these kids were throwing stones at them to tell them "you are occupying our land, you are behaving like executioners of our people and since we have no weapons to hunt you from our home, so we throw at you the stones that nature has left us as our only weapons "
To say that the orders given to the soldiers in charge of this horrible job were given by the authorities right up to the top of the Israeli state.
Judgment day may come, like Eichman's day, when the decision makers of these child murders will be seen by the whole world.
I understand better now why the USA and Israel refuse to recognize the International Criminal Court. Because they have too much to fear.
How many hundreds of thousands of dead have on the conscience of the American leaders after all the wars they have ordered and how many dead and wounded have on the conscience of the Israeli leaders who since 1967 have only ceased to oppress , to humiliate, torture and kill Palestinians who only want to live free in their lands without an occupying army to subjugate them.
I Remember learning about Rwanda. Another instance where the world turned a blind eye to genocide. We all need to do better as people.
@@lornadoon845 To this day Bill Clinton feels a sense of personal responsibility for the failure to intervene in Rwanda. He was new to the job and had to deal with the fallout from the I'll fated Battle Of Mogandsu which horrified Americans when images of the bodies of dead American soldiers being dragged through the streets.
Somolian was a house warming present that the Bush administration had left for him during the lame duck period. It was also the right thing to do but it all happened very quickly.
After Blackhawk Down Republican criticism was relentless and when the shit hit the fan in Rwanda he felt that under the circumstances the last thing Americans wanted were more troops deployed to conflict zones in Africa. ( After the Dayton Accords were singed Congressional Republicans tried to embarrass him by trying to severely limit American commitment to the peacekeeping troops for an agreement he had brokered but Clinton outsmarted them). Things in Rwanda happened so quickly with 800,000 people killed in just three weeks with machetes but still we could have saved lives and Bill Clinton knows that and that is why he has visited Rwanda a number of times . He remains a popular figure there to this day.
Take this in comfort. We are now in the longest period of known history with no major wars.
Good point, Rwanda is another sad example of what hatred can do. So sad, so cruel.

It would have been amazing if someone was able to convince Eichmann to just come clean about the whole thing.

It's coded in our genes through the centuries. We're all different and we can all deviate from this "local norm" but fact is, each nation has this packet of tendencies engraved in your DNA - and its far more probable for a german to turn you into soap and a coat hanger than a spaniard or dutch person would. For all the atrocities german people did during last 100 years, I think they should be reminded of their blood soaked history very thoroughly, generation after generation.

In 99,9% of any possible case I would have been outraged that a trial would take place under such circumstances, because the rule of law must be followed, but there are certain extreme circumstances, and getting a top nazi out of a country that harbors hiding top nazis is one of those rare circumstances. I don’t care what they did to get him to sign that document. I don’t care that they kidnapped him to get him out of there. He never should have been allowed to leave Germany in 1945 in the first place. Non of them should have.
People were still sympathetic to Nazi idealism. They found ways out of Germany. Josef mengele lived out his life and they knew where he was the whole time. Argentina welcomed Nazis w open arms.
100%
Imagine how many people would see this live today it would be the biggest trial in History
Wait till Pootin is on trial. That’ll be a show. It’ll have huge numbers as they say.
@@Lepocoloco there is no way Putin will allow himself to be taken alive, like Hitler there is only 2 ways this will end taking his own life or someone like CIA (unlikely) maybe one of his own people taking him out.
His pride and hubris will never allow himself to be put on trial or held accountable because he believes that he is doing his job, going good for himself and people. Delusional but calculated man, he is not stupid though can read how far he can get away with things as they are going. It will hit the wall soon, he’s already losing the “special military operation” in Ukraine.
I remember this catch in Argentina. Then I remember the trial and various other TV shows illuminating what he did.
“Life would continue and the nightmare is over” it touched my emotions 🙏
Yeah but sadly that just isnt true. Massacres against people will always continue. The germans killed many people the french killed many people the english killed many people and everyone else did too. No one is innocent and sadly this will continue in the future again because its still happening right now.... if we would just stop this then peace could be achieved. But peace without God and Jesus is impossible
Ladies and gents
It look like most of the Nazi commanders defenses were that they were regular guys that had been convinced and brainwashed into de humanizing a race and following orders.
Stop watching netflix.
@@delalicanto7432 I don't got Netflix's lol
Not much else you can say considering they were in a kangaroo court for the sake of political closure.
We have a few people in the USA that should be held responsible for their crimes too.
The victors always write the history books.
It’s a proven fact that many German’s were starved to death and the women raped
Yes. The masonic presidents who are still alive.
Obama is one of them.
I read the book about his capture called “The house on Gerabaldi Sreet”. Was excellent!
FoxyGringo Listen to trump and you will get the idea. Lies, control of the press’s day, a desire for power without regards for any citizen or humanity.

Well, it was more than those poor Jews were allowed.
Quit crying, you fascist snowflake lol
-I admire the quietness - politeness of the audience during the trial and especially during his answers.
-One of the most devastating stories I have ever heard when "worker" had to bury his family....
It's a trial, how do you think they go? Everybody screams and who's the loudest wins?
Well said. That witness had a nervous smile and I didn’t expect to hear the horror of watching your wife and children murdered and then having to bury their bodies in a cold field. Never underestimate man’s capacity for evil.
Isn't this thing also on Netflix? 🤔
Was disappointed and disgusted to learn just how much the West appeased and turned a blind eye to former Nazis after WW2.
Every person should see this!
Not showing Eichmann's face when he was sentenced to death really spoiled the whole show for me
Just so whomever wrote the title for this excellent Documentary knows, in the English language the word "online" is a single word not two separate words when talking about the internet and its media. It is not "on line" as the title has it. You may want to correct this by eliminating the space between the two words. The correct wording should also be. "This Was Never Shown Online". With each first letter of each word capitalized as it is a title not a regular sentence. Thank you for posting this!
get a life
My goodness! The horror of the content is outstripped by the form.
@@rickfellman91 I only watched the 1st 5 minutes of this documentary when I posted this. I want this title to be searchable so that EVERY human being can find it and watch this so it never happens again. If people can't find it then they can't see it. People MUST see it. This was my logic for the post. You have to forgive me but these sensitive topics do not allow me to get emotional as I study genocides and if I get emotionally involved I may go crazy from the horror of it all.
If you notice in the testimony after @42:06 (the man with the white collar) the man is smiling as he recounts the horror. I have seen exact strange displays from actual SonderKommando who gave eye-witness testimony do the same thing. This smiling is a psychological sheltering of the mind because if one does not do it one would completely lose their mind or go insane at the horrors they encounter, retell or recount to others. This does not mean that I nor these men do not care (on the contrary) but in order to write or speak or be social in the world one must set such horrors in a mental compartmentalization fashion so one does not go start raving mad and start killing people from the sheer brutality of the inhumanity that person has witnessed nor experienced. I hope I was as clear as possible.
If I had the power to smite each Nazi with a bolt of lightning where they stood I probably would do it in this hypothetical. I can only put pen to paper and hope this NEVER EVER EVER happens again. I let God Almighty handle these monsters as he deems fit.
There is, “nothing new under the sun”. The present indifference to the rise of a new antisemitism, is somewhat akin to the middle 1930’s.
@@passionfly1 His name in the title is enough.
Eichmann had actually studied both Hebrew and Yiddish to help him with his duties at the 4-B-4 unit of the SS. Netflix has an excellent movie about this trial called "The Eichmann Show." When he mentioned the officer rolling up his sleeve at 26:29, it sent chills up my spine.
Adolf Eichmann's capture in Argentina in 1960 by the MOSSAD is very well documented in that best selling book.
I must read it
The Argentinians, for the most part, are still unrepentant about aiding and abetting these criminals as well as obstructing justice.
Which is another reason that I will continue to root against their national teams in FIFA matches.
The House on Garibaldi Street
Book by Isser Harel
In Nuremburg trials he would have been convicted on all 4 counts and hanged anyway if the coward wouldn't have run to save his ass
I think it's a pretty smart move to run if your chances are slim and you got nothing to win on staying. Wouldn't you say?
Id run too lol
He had no chance..he was dead the moment he entered the courtroom.
Good
That's his own fault.
Why was he even entitled to a full trial?!???
It is not a matter of entitlement. Most importantly, the trial was what could be done and had to be done. It was a fulmination of the imagings of civilized people. Whereas, the Shoah was the result of of the nightmares of civilized people with no empathy.
@@elinatuulikkibecause of democracy. Every king or dictator or military elader would have executed him bit in a system were people have alot rights this is impossible do just do so
Absolutely loved this documentary!
The Jewish People survived and are here, thriving.
🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️💕🙏🏽🇮🇱💝💒😍
I don't suppose you are of the opinion that this man regardless of who he is and what he might have done had the right to a fair trial ??
Fuck Israël
Long live Eretz Israel!
He did have a fair trial. Stop jerking off to nazis, it'll help you grow up @munnjean
And a fair trial he got!@@munnjean
Would recommend the reading of the book ‘ eichmann in jerusalem ‘ by hannah Arendt.
Thanks for the lowdown. I'll look into it
She is in a few of the shots in this film.
43:42 it's heartbreaking. May God bless all those innocent souls... I am so sad.
very sad, I can't believe
Me too.
Innocent muh azz
@Levantine Patriot haha yeah... All these gullible idiots here got brainwashed by swindlers list, x-men, captain america anti- not zee propaganda
Just interesting, so interesting this video. Never it’s too late to learn history.
I remember when eichmann was caught and transported to israel. It was the day the survivors of the camps stopped hiding their tattoos. Up to that point, they had been ashamed for not having fought back.
I met three survivors of the camps in my time: a Jewish lady, a widow, who lost her twelve year old daughter in the camps. She always greeted me with a piece of chocolate. A german non-jewish social democrat. A political prisoner, the first reuter correspondent to Jerusalem and the person integral to the establishment of diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel. The third person was a Catholic member of the polish underground, captured and tortured by the gestapo. She saved my life.
The “vanguard of genocide” what a title.
I send my prayers 🙏 to the six millions innocents who died under the Hitlers brutality regime .. as a Moroccan man I don’t know why when I hear Germany 🇩🇪 I think right the way about Nazis ,, it’s a shame stick to them for ever ,, and to those who’ve suffered and died RIP 🌹.
Recent discoveries of mass graves in Poland may double the total number of victims.
@@veramae4098 Maybe you are able to differ who was responsible for certain things.
@@veramae4098
12 000 000 Jews died !?!
That's not at all okay, to identify modern Germany to the Nazi regime. If Nazi Germany is the only thing you think about when hearing of talking about German people, you have real issues that should be adressed with a professional
As an Indian i wont and can’t shame Jews for not resisting Germans during Holocaust. We allowed British to do almost similar for 200 years
I guarantee 90% of the people watching this would of done the same thing as him, don’t follow
Orders get killed either way but yea he certainly is evil
My father was a Jewish engineer at the time of this trial, working along side German pow scientists at NACA Langley Field Virginia. He said he would've like to have defended Eichman as a lawyer using your argument. He befriended those that he was working with and picked their brains as they were some if the world's most brilliant scientists at the time. He even invited Adolf Busemann to our Jewish household for dinner. He said when the door was closed, all the hate was outside.
@user-ey5om1td2q I agree with you they where total cowards I’m just saying it’s all well and good saying this today but back then I’m pretty sure you as well as me or whoever else would of chose to fight for there country no matter how evil they where. Trust me glad they where destroyed especially after the terrible disgusting mass murder of innocents but I’m sure not all Germans where that way inclined or would you not agree?
@@matthewbryant958 there is massive corruption in the USA due to wanton careerism. No one wants to stand up for what is right and then lose their "precious little careers" like Snowden, Asange, Manning did. Eichman was doing his job as best as he could so that he would be a good little German. The very same thing could happen here or in Israel even. Where are the Israeli people standing up against the horrible conditions of the Palestinians? Show us how to make peace with your enemies. It can be done, but not with force. I've had a plan for over 20 years for bringing peace to the Israeli Palestinian situation. I'd love to tell you about it, but not in UA-cam comment section.
The Nazi's had such a stranglehold of their entire society that even people listening in to the BBC world news service were deported to the work camps along with their entire family. The chopping block mentally of the third Reich was so terrifying that if you disobey orders from a superior you were shot. How many brave men and women of conscience in the IDF have stepped forward and refused to shoot innocent Palestinians when ordered by a superior ! Not many , if any at all.
So you claim nazi chain of command is a series of tragic, unfortunate victims of nazi regime? Hahaha.. they were career party man, ambitious, actively seeking more and more power. Noone pushed them to the chain of command. And when held for the tribunal, they all lied and denied their roles in the evil they caused. Stop saying nonsense.
I dont know what you'd do but I most definitely would NOT seek a career in nazi military. They knew what they are getting into..
Despite NO SUCH A THING AS A FAIR TRIAL , here they let Eichmann talk and defend himself! He is very calm and talks well! He probably thinks he will let go free or receive a life sentence at worst!!
Eichman knew he was a Deadman walking.
The Russians would have thrown him out of a window, and rightly so.
A fair trial would have been summary execution. How do you hold a fair trial for a monster like that. All things considered, he got justice.
@@jasonwiley798 Imagine walking into that theater, knowing what he had done being tried by those same people.
@@ex-conindustriesllc.9484 I hope he was scared.
