Details about the mission:
On May 11, 1960, Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann was nabbed by a team of Israeli spies after years on the run in Argentina, ending a long manhunt. Ten days later, drugged and dressed as a crew member of Israeli flagged carrier El Al, he was smuggled to Israel by Mossad agents and put on trial. Eichmann was in charge of implementing Hitler's Final Solution for the Jewish people, in which six million people died. After the war he was captured by Allied forces but escaped and fled to Argentina. There, a Holocaust survivor whose daughter was dating Eichmann's son became suspicious about the identity of the boy's father, and Israeli intelligence was alerted. Eichmann, who was living in Buenos Aires was bundled into a car on his way home from work by a team of Mossad agents. An El Al plane brought an official Israeli delegation to Buenos Aires as a cover for taking the high-value target back. He was passed off as a sick airline employee, dressed in an El Al uniform and heavily sedated in a first class seat. David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, announced the capture to the Israeli parliament and a stunned world. Eichmann was charged with 15 counts of crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, war crimes and membership of a hostile organization. After a trial lasting eight months, during which 99 Holocaust survivors gave evidence, Eichmann was sentenced to death and hanged on 31 May 1962 – the only time in Israel's history that the death penalty has been enacted.
