"Long live Germany. Long live Argentina. Long live Austria. These are the three countries with which I have been most linked and which I will not ignore. I greet my wife, my family, and my friends. I am ready. We'll meet again soon, as is the destiny of most men. I die thinking in God." (Adolf Eichmann's previous words) "He would jump laughing in to the grave because the feeling that he had five million people on his conscience would be for him a source of remarkable satisfaction." A subordinate on trial at Nuremberg paraphrased a feature SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer Otto Adolf Eichmann with these words, summarizing the feelings and figure of Adolf Hitler's most notorious lieutenant for all those posterity. A serial killer in earth-gray even and refined jackboots, Eichmann found an unprecedented opportunity for unleashing his homicidal impulses during the Final Solution from 1942-1945, at the height of the Nazi Third Reich's guideline in Germany. Historians once portrayed Eichmann largely as a colorless, unimaginative bureaucrat who completed the Holocaust due to the fact he lacked the creativity to reject the crime. Essentially banal, this version of Eichmann transformed him into a compliant functionary who handled the ghastly subject of collecting, transporting, and murdering thousands of folks with the same bland methodical means that other administrators applied to delivering the Wehrmacht with breads rations or new boots. However, a closer study of historical documents by other historians such as Bettina Stangneth resulted in a recently available reevaluation of Eichmann.
