Let's remind ourselves who Eichmann was. This is from his Encylopedia Britannica entry:
>Eichmann joined the Nazi Party in April 1932 in Linz and rose
>through the party hierarchy. In November 1932 he became a member of
>Heinrich Himmler's SS, the Nazi paramilitary corps, and, on leaving
>Linz in 1933, he joined the terrorist school of the Austrian Legion
>at Lechfeld, Germany. From January to October 1934 he was attached
>to an SS unit at Dachau and then was appointed to the SS
>Sicherheitsdienst ("Security Service") central office in Berlin,
>where he worked in the section that dealt with Jewish affairs. He
>advanced steadily within the SS and was sent to Vienna after the
>annexation of Austria (March 1938) to rid the city of Jews. One year
>later, with a similar mission, he was sent to Prague. When in 1939
>Himmler formed the Reich Security Central Office, Eichmann was
>transferred to its section on Jewish affairs in Berlin.
>
>In January 1942, at Wannsee, near Berlin, a conference of Nazi high
>officials was convened to organize the logistics of what the Nazis
>called the "final solution to the Jewish question." Eichmann was to
>coordinate the details; thus, although it was not yet generally
>known that the "final solution" was mass execution, Eichmann had in
>effect been named chief executioner. Thereupon he organized the
>identification, assembly, and transportation of Jews from all over
>occupied Europe to their final destinations at Auschwitz and other
>extermination camps in Poland.
How even an M&A lawyer, much less an antiwar liberal, is like this is way beyond me. Henry Kissinger's a lot more like this, but he's Henry Kissinger.
